This sounds like an interesting story.

Cathrine will have many attributes people today find, well, medieval. You need to balance that with positive attributes to make the readers accept her.

A key positive attribute is compassion. She must "love the sinner but hate the sin" as St. Augustine approximately said. (This quote is far older than Cathrine and she might even know it)

Write in a few random acts of compassion to establish this part of her character. Let her become friends with people despite their sinful lives.

Also, give her some personality aspects that aren't about religion at all to round her out. There is likely some part of the modern world she will accept and be enthusiastic about. Like food. Clothes with pockets. Whatever, just show that she isn't all about religion.

Confront her with what the Catholic Church and the Pope say today and contrast it what they said in her youth. Give her a modern Bible translation and contrast it with the Bible she used to know.

She will probably have a crisis of Faith. There are many ways such a crisis can unfold, but it is likely to be painful.

Let her change her mind on some of her opinions. But not all of them, that wouldn't be realistic.
