Another level of dissonance you will need to address is how modern psychology regards her "religious visions" and her belief that God is acting directly through her. A modern secular assessment would be that Jeanne was (obsessively) driven by her (delusional) religious experience.

Does Catherine still believe she was God's instrument on Earth? Does she believe she still has a mission? She would presumably interpret her reincarnation in religious terms, but does she still receive God's guidance or messages or visions?

In Jeanne's world, it was universally accepted that God and the Devil both actively intervened in human affairs. Jeanne herself was assessed for religious orthodoxy by a commission of inquiry, partly to enable the Church to reject any allegation that she was either a heretic or a witch. The most significant dissonance may be her utter belief in God's active intervention in her own affairs, in the face of modern secular society's view that this is delusional thinking. A nice twist is that modern evangelical churches might be more accommodating of her beliefs than the modern Catholic church, yet Catherine would certainly condemn such churches as heretical.
