ST DOMINIC
"In 1214, Dominic's extreme physical asceticism caused him to fall into a coma, during which the Virgin Mary is said to have appeared to him and instructed him to promote the prayer of the Rosary. Its focus on the incarnation and life of Christ directly countered the Albigensian attitude towards matter as evil.
During that same year, Dominic returned to Tolouse and obtained the bishop's approval of his plan for an order dedicated to preaching. Dominic... obtained papal approval for his plan and was named as the Pope's chief theologian. The Order of Preachers expanded in Europe with papal help in 1218.
He spent the last several years of his life building up the order and continuing his preaching missions, during which he is said to have converted some 100,000 people. St. Dominic died in Italy on August 6, 1221."
