Cora Louise Evans (1904[1] – March 30, 1957) was a former American Mormon wife and mother and an alleged Catholic mystic.[2] She claimed to receive visions of Jesus and Mary, which she promoted as "The Mystical Humanity of Christ".[1] Her cause for sainthood is being investigated by the Vatican.[2]
Evans was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints but became disillusioned with the church and was baptized into the Roman Catholic Church in 1935 in Utah.[2][3]
