Any attempt to dismiss Teresa as a mere neurasthenic or hysteric would be negated by her autobiography and her letters, which display a surprising secular shrewdness, an admirable pragmatism and commonsense, a refreshing sense of humour. They also show an acute awareness of the dangers posed by the Inquisition. Teresa is clearly nervous about her testimony being condemned as heretical. She writes to her confessor that he should only accept her work

so long as my tale is consistent with the truths of our holy Catholic Church. If it is not, your Reverence must burn it immediately, and I agree to its destruction. I will set down my experience, so that, if it conforms to Christian belief, it may be of some use.7
