Book Description
In the mid-nineteenth century prophetic visions attributed to a woman named Madre Matiana roiled Mexican society. Pamphlets of the time proclaimed that decades earlier a humble laywoman foresaw the nation’s calamitous destiny—foreign invasion, widespread misery, and chronic civil strife. The revelations, however, pinpointed the cause of Mexico’s struggles: God was punishing the nation for embracing blasphemous secularism. Responses ranged from pious alarm to incredulous scorn. Although most likely a fiction cooked up amid the era’s culture wars, Madre Matiana’s persona nevertheless endured. In fact, her predictions remained influential well into the twentieth century as society debated the nature of popular culture, the crux of modern nationhood, and the role of women, especially religious women. Here Edward Wright-Rios examines this much-maligned—and sometimes celebrated—character and her position in the development of a nation.

Book Description
En diversos documentales que han circulado por los medios informativos e inclusive en la Internet, el 2012 aparece el año del Juicio Final o el "Hunab-Ku", según las profecías de los mayas, mencionado que la raza humana y nuestro planeta sufrirán una catástrofe de proporciones inimaginables. Estos hechos se ven vinculados a un fenómeno cósmico que ocurre cada 25, 800 años y que tendrá lugar en el solsticio de invierno del 2012, cuando la Tierra se encuentre alineada con el Sol y el centro de nuestra galaxia, la vía Láctea, donde existe un agujero negro ocasionando alteraciones en el manto terrestre y por consiguiente, en la superficie de nuestro planeta. A raíz de estos augurios que vaticinan un peligro inminente a la Tierra y a sus pobladores, los protagonistas de esta increíble aventura, se hacen a la tarea de iniciar una investigación científica que les proporcionara una información más exacta de la realidad, del peligro que estaba a punto de desatarse, y esto era a la vuelta de la esquina ya que, de ocurrir esta catástrofe, ocurriría en tan solo dos años. El resultado de dicha investigación hace que uno de ellos exponga una hipótesis aterradora y descabellada, la "supe-marea del manto terrestre" ejercida por las fuerzas gravitacionales del Sol y el agujero negro. Con la ayuda de dos geofísicos estadounidenses emprenden una odisea que inicia con la búsqueda de un lugar seguro y la creación de un refugio que pueda contener los embates apocalípticos de dicho efecto gravitacional cósmico. Sin embargo, los eventos dan inicio mucho antes de lo esperado por lo que se ven obligados a adelantar sus planes de huída y de sobrevivencia, viéndose envueltos en una serie de controversias ante las decisiones que tienen que tomar con respecto a cuántos y quiénes debían acudir a San Pedro y lo que tenían que llevar consigo. "Todo lo que inicia tiene un fin". Desde que el ser humano existe, y de acuerdo con la historia que nos habla de Oráculos y profetas, siempre ha esperado con temor el día en que llegue éste final. ¿Ficción o una realidad? ¿El año 2012 pondrá fin a la existencia del ser humano sobre la faz de la Tierra? ¿Podrá soportar nuestro planeta, y nosotros mismo, seremos capaces de sobrevivir a esta devastadora ecuación cósmica?

Book Description
Why are religious visions believed only in certain times and places? In this book William Christian investi gates the settings and responses to a series of group visions reported by Spaniards in rural Galicia, Valencia, Cantabria, and Navarre in the early part of this century the most notable one involving the crucifix at Limpias, where Jesus was first seen agonizing on the cross during a mission service in March of 1919. In light of the social strife and strong anticlerical movements of the period, the author examines how gender and religious politics influenced the experiences of seers and the interpretation of their visions by church officials, journalists, and the public. Christian approaches the story inductively, from the visionaries and the parish to the religious orders, diocesan officials, and Vatican envoys. He places the events in the context of mission dramaturgy and pilgrimages to Lourdes, and shows their ramifications in Italy, Mexico, the United States, France, and Central Europe. Using oral testimony, church archives, local newspaper accounts, and apologetic literature, Christian finds that some observers related the moving crucifixes to a logical, millenarian sequence that included earlier apparitions in France; for others they were divine reactions to national political events; while for many local people they were signs for the establishment of new shrines. His study reveals the preoccupations of ordinary people and how they found expression in religious images. Originally published in 1992.
