ry. attention to mary reached a high in the middle ages, but came under heavy attack from protestant leaders in the sixteenth century (many considered it idolatry) and from the eighteenth-century enlightenment that saw most supernaturalism as mere superstition. from the eighteenth century one can see documented an attempt to revive interest in marian devotion with the call for a definition of the immaculate conception (the belief that the virgin mary was born free of original sin) as official dogma (teachings. it also saw the publication of several massive works on mariology, especially the eminently successful glories of mary (1876) by alphonsus liguori, which became one of the most highly circulated books on mary in modern times. through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the role o

rks on mariology, especially the eminently successful glories of mary (1876) by alphonsus liguori, which became one of the most highly circulated books on mary in modern times. through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the role of mary in theology and her place in the devotional life of the church has increased significantly. in 1854, pope leo ix issued the bull defining the doctrine of the immaculate conception. over the next century, there were to be numerous papal encyclicals on mary that would culminate in 1950 with pope pius xii s definition of the assumption of mary (that at the end of her life she was taken body and soul into heaven) as dogma. integral to this expansion of theological and devotional interest in mary are a set of apparitions that began in 1820. in the last gene

rition, they went out to the site and found that the spring was once again flowing. possibly the most famous of the modern apparitions occurred to young bernadette souberous, also in france, this time at the village of lourdes not far from the spanish border. bernadette was the subject of a series of apparitions beginning february 11, 1858, just four years after the definition of the dogma of the immaculate conception. she had been sent out to gather firewood when she wandered close to a grotto of massabielle. there she saw the lady whom she originally described as something in the shape of a girl. during the ninth apparition on february 25, she was told to drink and wash with water from a spot that mary pointed out to her. people dug around the spot that soon turned into a heretofore unkn

lady whom she originally described as something in the shape of a girl. during the ninth apparition on february 25, she was told to drink and wash with water from a spot that mary pointed out to her. people dug around the spot that soon turned into a heretofore unknown spring. she would see the virgin several times more in march and april. when asked her name, the lady finally answered, i am the immaculate conception. the virgin told bernadette that she wanted a chapel built at the grotto. after a few ups and downs, the report of the bishop affirming a belief that the virgin had appeared at lourdes was issued in 1862. the place would become known for its healings and in 1884 a medical bureau was established to keep records of the miraculous cures. bernadette was canonized in 1933. a fourt

e. while two parts of the secrets of fatima would be revealed, the third part has remained unknown to the public at large, even though the initial indication was that it would be made public in 1960. it is known that the popes since john xxiii have read the secret message and there has been intense speculation as to the content of the secret among the millions who have adopted the devotion to the immaculate heart of mary that was called for in 1917. since fatima, two approved apparitions occurred at beauraing (1932) and banneax (1933, belgium. also, back in 1879, in the midst of the potato famine, there had been a reported apparition at knock, ireland. though investigated immediately afterward and in 1936, approval from the church has been slow in coming. while pilgrimages to knock were no

their hands, directed a bright light into their eyes. the children reacted to none of these occurrences, and no sign of the testing appeared on their body after the apparition was finished. the messages at beauraing were brief, and in fact in more than 30 appearances the virgin spoke only a couple of times. she did request that a chapel be built, and on one of her last appearances she exposed her immaculate heart (devotion to it being a major element in the apparitions at fatima, portugal. the last appearance occurred on january 3, 1933, in part noteworthy by the failure of one of the children to see her. the virgin spoke an individual message to each of the four children and also gave them a secret. secret messages had first become a part of the virgin s apparitions at la salette in franc

others encountered admirers who sighed in languishing postures at their feet. more than one discovered the counterpart of her own love, but the oath they had all taken necessitated the most inexorable inhumanity, and all faithfully fulfilled what was required of them. the new spirit infused into the regenerated women triumphed along the whole line of the thirty-six initiates, who with intact and immaculate symbols reentered the temple to receive the congratulations of the sovereign priestess. when they had breathed a little after their trials, the vaulted roof opened suddenly, and, on a vast sphere of gold, there descended a man, naked as the unfallen adam, holding a serpent in his hand, and having a burning star upon his head. the grand mistress announced that this was the genius of trut

nuto, ask them something. i answered, let them bring me into the company of my sicilian mistress, angelica. that night we obtained no answer of any sort; but i had received great satisfaction in having my curiosity so far indulged. the necromancer told me, it was requisite we should go a second time, assuring me, that i should be satisfied in whatever i asked; but that i must bring with me a pure immaculate boy. i took with me a youth who was in my service, of about twelve years of age, together with the same vincenzio romoli, who had been my companion the first time and one agnolino gaddi, an intimate acquaintance, whom i likewise prevailed on to assist at the ceremony. when we came to the place appointed, the priest having made his preparations as before, with the same and even more stri

ey were questioned and ridiculed; even the local priest was hostile to the children. only the father of francisco and jacinta believed. the children kept their appointment on june 13, along with some 60 spectators. when the apparition occurred, only the children saw the lady. there was a brief message to pray the rosary and return in july, and that lucia would be used to spread devotion to mary s immaculate heart. as the lady departed, the people witnessed the bending of a branch of the tree near the place where she supposedly stood, as if under a weight, and then the movement of the uppermost branches as if her clothes were sweeping over them. on july 13, the crowd numbered 5,000. the lady made two important statements. first, she noted that on october 13, the last of the planned appearan

hildren, francisco and jacinta, died shortly after the apparitions, in 1919 and 1920 respectively, the lady having predicted that she would return not long after the apparitions and take them to heaven. in 1921 lucia was sent to a school in porto, portugal, run by the sisters of st. dorothe, and she entered holy orders four years later. she devoted the next decade to promoting the devotion to the immaculate heart and then in 1934 retired to a carmelite monastery, for the rest of her life. once there, between 1935 and 1941, at the suggestion of ecclesiastical superiors, she wrote four manuscripts detailing what she could remember of her life. the secrets of fatima revealed to the children on july 13, 1917, became a topic of interest throughout the roman catholic world. all three parts of th

mantle of the sisterhood. the sisterhood became a matter of meditation over the next months during which time the gnostic order of christ was formally organized. burkhouse also came into contact with another order master teacher, mary elizabeth hodges, who had had an apparition of the virgin mary. together hodges and burkhouse revived inspiration that the sisterhood should be reestablished as the immaculate heart servants of mary. the single word change was significant as the new suborder was to be for both men and women and open to all who felt a special devotion to mary or had a calling to a special work with mary. especially it is for those who have a calling in the public sphere to work for the equal rights of women and children. those who wish to associate with the servants of mary ar

as the site was on private land and the owner had indicated his unwillingness to cooperate with the project. groups began to gather on the highway right away near the hill, and their daily prayer meetings became a matter of media interest. media coverage attracted visitors from across california, among them barbara matthias. matthias reported that the virgin had appeared to her as our lady of the immaculate conception, a popular image in roman catholic circles since the apparitions at lourdes. after the first few apparitions, mary began to appear daily, usually in the later afternoon. matthias would enter a trance-like state and stay in that state for several hours, on occasion approaching six hours. crowds gathered in the afternoon and often stayed late into the evening. many reported var

ed in 1919 and 1920 respectively, but did not speak of the message that they had been given. subsequently, some years later lucia dos santos, who had been the third child, made two parts of the secret message known. the first part consisted of a vision of hell, with an accompanying admonition that the children should sacrifice themselves for sinners in reparation for the many offenses against the immaculate heart of mary. the second part was an admonition to spread the devotion to the immaculate heart of mary, which has become a popular form of devotion in the roman catholic church. added to this admonition was a prediction that world war i (1914.18) would soon end, but another one would soon begin if people did not cease their offending behavior. the war would occur during the reign of po

es interrogated bernadette, but they could not dissuade her from continuing her meetings by the grotto. the local parish priest, father peyramale, also did his best to convince bernadette that she was only imagining the visions. then, on march 25, after her sixteenth visit, the lady revealed her name to bernadette, who, when questioned by the skeptical priest, relayed the lady fs identity as gthe immaculate conception. h because that title had been applied to mother mary by catholic theologians only four years before and was only known to the clergy, father peyramale thought it highly unlikely that a teenaged girl who could not read or write and spoke only a crude, provincial form of french would know the phrase used to define the doctrine that declared mary free from the taint of original

THE KEY TO THE MYSTERIES

ation is hope. the redemption is charity. the trinity is the hierarchy. incarnation is the divine authority of the church. redemption is the unique, infallible, unfailing and catholic priesthood. the catholic church alone possesses an invariable dogma, and by its very constitution is incapable of corrupting morality; she does not make innovations, she explains. thus, for example, the dogma of the immaculate conception is not new; it was contained in the theotokon of the council of ephesus, and the theotokon is a rigorous consequence of the catholic dogma of the incarnation. in the same way the catholic church makes no excommunications, she declares them; and she alone can declare them, because she alone is guardian of unity. outside the vessel of peter, there is nothing but the abyss. prot

ge created in the brain of man, but to become a man is to become a progenitor of gods; and then perchance we may realize the sublimity of the great motherhood, whose children are as one, a flaming crown of glory twined and interwoven with roses both white and red. this mingling of the passionate and the chaste we find is the new ideal that crowley flashes before our dazzled sight. away with mary, immaculate mother of christ: away with messalina, incestuous prophetess of lust. away! away! to the west, to the east, till they meet in some flaming region of equatorial fury, and flashing interfuse and interblend. once again must a prophet of the lord arise and wed a wife of whoredoms, who hath committed great whoredom, departing from the lord. once again must hosea expire on the crimson lips of

force, h we find that of motherhood. the true wife must sacrifice her children before the shrine of her lover, and the true mother must sacrifice her lover on the altar of her children. this is no paradox, no riddle, no twisting of words; for crowley offers us in the glittering chalice of eternity the sacred blood of the bull, the second christ; and as the first, the lamb of god, sprang from the immaculate womb of the virgin-mother, so shall this second incarnation spring blood-red from the snowy lips of the great supernal mother, androgynous, the circe-isis of the ages. in galice, an adultery, h we see a woman passionate in her love, strenuous in her affection, yet in the end failing by abandoning her lover for her children. not so, however, in grosa inferni, h wherein we feel, as we rea
