Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past two centuries hundreds of apparitions of the Virgin Mary have been reported, drawing crowds to the seers and the sites and constituting events of great religious significance for millions of people worldwide. Here Sandra Zimdars-Swartz provides a detective-like investigation of the experiences and interpretations of six major apparitions, including those at La Salette and Lourdes in France during the mid-nineteenth century; at Fatima, Portugal, in 1917; and the more recent ones at San Damiano, Italy; Garabandal, Spain; and Medjugorje, Yugoslavia, where the apparitions continue. Adopting a phenomenological approach to these "encounters with Mary"--one that is neither apologetic nor antagonistic--the author explores the tension between the personal meaning of the events for their subjects and the public appropriation of this meaning by a larger religious community. Along the way she examines the backgrounds of the seers, their willingness or reluctance to talk about the apparitions and their messages, the amount of emotional support they received from family and community as news of the apparitions spread, the reports of miracles at apparition sites, the reactions of local authorities, and the steps taken by the Roman Catholic Church in officially recognizing or rejecting the apparitions as worthy of belief. The author concludes with a survey of religious worldviews based on Marian apparitions, focusing especially on the now-popular transcultural apocalyptic nature of these messages to the modern world.

Download or read book Blasphemy written by Alain Cabantous and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our world is steeped in attitudes and concepts derived from a sacred worldview, and this book helps us understand why. Alain Cabantous shows that blasphemy is a battlefield where religious dogma and secular rule clash, with their respective agents (the priest and the judge) competing for the proper reaction to a variety of curses. The book takes us on a journey through the Christian West with braggarts, craftsmen, soldiers, sailors, and their coarse, forbidden exchanges. More than simply an exhaustive inventory of the uses of and bans on blasphemy, the book is a lively analysis of the relationship between the blasphemer, the machinery of language, and that of repression. Beginning with a review of acts and crimes of blasphemy in biblical times, including the second commandment's injunction against taking God's name in vain, Cabantous reviews the close relationship between religious authority and royal authority in the sixteenth century, when the king ruled by divine right and attacks against God were implicit attacks on the nature of kingship. Punishing blasphemy was a way for the king to rule as God's representative and an occasion for the church to take control of language. The narrative continues with an exploration of acts of blasphemy, as well as related acts of desecration and profanation, which were regarded as civil and religious offenses up to the French Revolution of 1789 and afterward. The book then explores blasphemy through the mid-nineteenth century, when Catholic opponents of the French Revolution claimed that revolution itself was a blasphemy and a profanation.
Download or read book Dictionnaire des apparitions de la Vierge Marie written by René Laurentin and published by Fayard. This book was released on 2007-04-11 with total page 1163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La littérature sur les apparitions de la Vierge Marie prolifère, mais aucun ouvrage d’ensemble n’existait jusqu’à présent sur ce sujet. Plus de 2400 apparitions (toutes celles qui ont laissé une trace dans l’histoire) sont ici racontées et analysées. Véritable encyclopédie rédigée avec le concours de spécialistes qualifiés, ce dictionnaire précise l’objet, la méthode, les promesses et l’apport d’une quinzaine de disciplines, de la médecine à la sociologie, de la psychanalyse à l’histoire, de la mystique au droit canon. Phénomène beaucoup plus ancien qu’on ne le croit souvent, les apparitions sont un signe de contradiction entre ceux qui les tiennent pour une pathologie ou un effet de la subjectivité et de multiples voyants qui les prennent comme des messages du ciel. Pour leur part, l’Église et sa hiérarchie les regardent avec une infinie méfiance et considèrent qu’elles ne relèvent ni de la norme ni du dogme. Ce qui est peut-être un excès de prudence les conduit à dissuader voire à réprimer l’adhésion des fidèles, et la multiplication des apparitions au XXe siècle les ont encore raidis sur leurs positions : en deux siècles, quatorze (dont cinq récentes) apparitions seulement ont été formellement reconnues. Certaines, très célèbres – comme celle de la « rue du Bac » avec la Médaille miraculeuse. S’adressant à la fois à ceux qui sont opposés aux apparitions et à ceux qui y sont favorables, ce dictionnaire livre une abondante information objective, factuelle et phénoménologique, et promeut de nouveaux questionnements scientifiques. Ses articles très documentés évaluent le positif et le négatif et font progresser les moyens de discernement : une apparition peut-elle être une communication ? et quelles approches nouvelles permettront de le savoir ?

Download or read book History s Queen written by Mike Aquilina and published by Ave Maria Press. This book was released on 2020-09-11 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Virgin Mary’s part in history doesn’t begin and end with her yes to God. Popular Catholic author Mike Aquilina points out that Mary is at the center of history from creation to the end of time and everywhere in between. In History’s Queen, you’ll learn about the many ways the mother of humanity has left her mark on the great events of time, not only as we see them in the Bible, but also in pivotal events such as Fatima, the battle of Lepanto, and the plague. In this journey through two thousand years of Mary’s active participation in world events, each chapter of History’s Queen highlights a Marian intervention that is emblematic of a particular era, and opens our eyes to the ways in which Mary provides a vital key for understanding both our past and our future. Mike Aquilina—author of The History of the Church in 100 Objects and editor of the Reclaiming Catholic History series—provides a fresh, fascinating, and classical view of history to today’s readers, exploring: Mary’s centrality in the Church Fathers’ view of history; Mary’s role in preserving Byzantium during the explosive rise of Islam; Marian devotion in medieval Ireland that inspired generations of great missionaries; Mary’s role in military victories at Lepanto and Vienna; and the message of peace received by three shepherd children in Fatima that sustained the world through a century of unprecedented violence and apostasy.
