Catholic AnswerDoctors of the Church must be outstanding saints. In addition to that, they writing or preaching is an outstanding and lasting guide to all the faithful throughout history. You become a doctor of the Church by living the Gospel to its fullness, and becoming very holy and educated in the faith. Then you teach it to others. In several hundred years, if your education has made a big difference, some Pope may declare you a doctor of the Church.from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980
Doctor of the Church. A title given since the Middle Ages to certain saints whose writing or preaching is outstanding for guiding the faithful in all periods of the Church's history. Originally the Western Fathers of the Church, Gregory the Great, Ambrose, Augustine, and Jerome, were considered the great doctors of the Church. But the Church has officially added many more names to the original four, including Sts. Catherine of Siena (1347) and Theresa of Avila (1515-82). . .

Roman Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Church remained the Catholic Church. It cannot "become" anything else, as Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to guide it until the end of time.
