>At a hotel near Notre-Dame des Victoires in Paris in 1887, two names were listed in a guest registry on the same day: St. Therese of Lisieux and Friedrich Nietzsche.

>St. Therese and her parents, Sts. Louis and Zelie Martin, stayed at the hotel as they prepared to travel to Rome to ask for the Holy Father’s permission for 15-year-old Therese to enter the convent. On the same evening, Nietzsche, an atheistic philosopher, stayed there, too.

What if they had happened to meet? What might have taken place?

One look at Therese and Nietzsche would have repented

He would have taken her cherry and infected her with Syphillis. As a result, should would have been a much more interesting saint, especially when it comes to visions.

Have you read Walter Savage Landor's "Imaginary Conversations"?

It's a pretty cute idea. As the title suggests he just picks pairs of famous people with opposing views and thinks "What would X and Y have said to one another?"

So he has "Diogenes and Plato", "Washington and Franklin", etc.

Not sure anyone has written a modern version. I've been tempted to do it, but less restricted than WSL. He picks people who actually DID meet (or might have met) and I think it would be more fun to do it with people from widely different times/places. Or even mix real historical figures and fictional ones.

For example:

>The Judge (Blood Meridian)
talks to
>Florence Nightingale

or

>Arthur Schopenhauer
talks to
>Yotsuba (from the manga)

Because if there is anything Nietzsche was super famous for, it was for being a huge womanizer who would seduce the hardest women.

I think there is no source of that, Zelie Martin died in 1877, so unless his ghost was wandering around I think this story is an attempt to cope the death of God

Here is the source of the OP quote:
>https://thecatholicspirit.com/faith/focus-on-faith/sunday-scriptures/every-path-leads-somewhere/

One of the commenters points out - as you perhaps know - that it was Thérèse's older sister Céline who accompanied her to Rome, along with their father. That commenter also points to further online documentation of the event.
