Hildegards of the World
Dr dear Dr: What is your deanery or even parish opinion on the way that feminine mystics are often much suppressed, silenced, and side-lined by the church authorities in the local parishes and deaneries in the modern world – is there a reason why such young women are so systematically abused?
Quite at a loss to explain all of this kind of strange behaviour toward the very young women that the clergy should be on their knees to in thanksgiving for rescuing the Church from all of its beset scandals if not bespoke problems – the problem is perplexing. I do not think that it is just a case of the ideationally obvious – a load of gay despondent clergy coming down like a ton of bricks upon the female and feminine mystics that believe in the higher callings of the anointed sons, as many people often assume in the media in the USA and Canada. The mystics in Canada really have proven their worth during the pandemic years as they alone have managed to predict the strange goings on of the present era, the then future era, at which many people simply baulked in utter disbelief – nobody believed them at the time when they said that strange times would come upon us with churches closed for months – a strange and amazing coincidence at the very most. So, many lay Christians in the absence of other direction from on high from their upper class Christian clergy have simply managed to switch over to the feminine mystics of late and this is all mete and good bar one or two infelicitous extreme predictions and prophecies. But anyway, it seems that clergy even religious ones can sometimes fear the power of the mystics and their hold over society – this may be the inner secret and hidden truth of it all – many clergy are not as religious in this timeframe as people might expect due to the preponderance of much sophism among them when they are gathered together in clusters and groups and collectivities, sophism the chief problem in this vein and in this era, indeed back at my seminary this group of students even styled themselves as the Cynics and went about sowing much doubt about every conceivable good resolution and good motive and every movement of the spirit, so it can happen, does happen, and the female mystics are the ones who take the brunt of this development in philosophy among the clergy. There have been some notable and not so well known feminine mystics that have suffered at the hands of unbelieving Cynica and Sophistica Canonica clergy:
Catherine Ann Emmerich Holy Anne of Armagh
La Salette visionaries; Christina Gallagher of Ireland
St Bernadette Sr Vincent of Lourdes
St Faustina Sr Mireille of Paris
Maria Valtorta Sr Marie Olivier of Paris
Joanne Spenser Sr Jansi of Kerala
Sarah Halls Sr Tamsyn of Bangalore
Rosie Horton Sr Cynthia of Lugano
Vivienne Dietzch Sr Miri of Bombay
Catherine B Sr Amyrah of Moseley
Alice Ab Sr Andromeda
Myriam L Sr Tanya of Mexico
Queen Anne Boleyn Sr Clare of London
All of these feminine mystics had their credentials questioned by unbelieving cynical locale religious clergy. Most of them did not see their rights vindicated until after their earthly deaths, a very sad business. Hard to explain, harder still to justify. A grande mystery indeed. Nobody knows the answer to this quandary. And so we must abstain from judging these lovely mystical women at this website, and pronounce them probably innocent of most of the usual misdemeanours afflicting mystics.
