Amita Posted November 30, 2019 #1 Share Posted November 30, 2019 A Catholic missionary to Native Americans of Southwest territories. She never left her convent in Spain, but was seen and taught Catholicism to natives hundreds of times. Quite a series of events that occurred in the 1620s: https://www.traditioninaction.org/History/B_013_Agreda_1.html 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papageorge1 Posted December 1, 2019 #2 Share Posted December 1, 2019 (edited) My inclination is to tie this in with the Our Lady of Guadeloupe story of the miraculous image of Mary and her appearance to a poor peasant man. My thought is that at this time there was a concerted effort by the higher planes to bring Christianity to the native Americans that had no previous exposure. I hold Christianity at its core to be a positive thing. Edited December 1, 2019 by papageorge1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Tradition In Action is committed to defend the perennial Magisterium of Holy Mother Church and Catholic traditions. TIA also works for a restoration of Christian Civilization, adapted to contemporary historical circumstances. Agreda was a Spanish "mystical imperialism" fraud........ 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To suggest we needed Christianity and it was deemed from a higher power when in actuality they tried to wipe us out and then our language, culture and religion is pure ignorance. ****ing missionary school tried to beat and sodomize the language and religion out of my grandfather. Did a higher plane deem that? 6 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did a higher plane deem that? Notice I said the ‘core of Christianity is positive’. I’ll stand by that. And the subject is supposed to be the bi-locating nun miracle. Seems like interesting stuff on that front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been extinct since Pauline Christianity erased it. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the Wikipedia article on her: Mary of Jesus of Ágreda To add to the bi-location she also experienced incorruptibility of her remains and was a mystic.

Amita Posted December 1, 2019 Author #17 Share Posted December 1, 2019 (edited) There are other sites and books and videos about her. Many modern Catholics, especially the higher ups, reject her visions. But Piney's prejudice is ignoring the testimony, then (and now) of natives seeing the Lady in Blue. One such uncomfortable fact is that the natives approached some Catholics of that era and begged them to send a priest - they wished to be baptized etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBG32YvymEk Another site about the Jumanos tribe that knew her: https://mariadeagreda.webs.com/jumanos.htm Edited December 1, 2019 by Amita 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because there are too many holes in her story. The Church's opposition is based on theological reasons. Sor Maria's huge mystical biography of Mary, mother of Jesus had too many conflicting ideas. Mystics often are ignored or given the Inquisition treatment, as was Sor Maria. I am interested mainly in her bilocations.

That's a understatement. 2 hours ago, Amita said: I am interested mainly in her bilocations. From what I read the person has to have a close connection to whoever is seeing the vision. Which is why I have total doubts. It reads too much like Pious Fraud and the Catholic Church wrote the book on it. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do believe beyond reasonable doubt (prior to this thread) in the psychic ability of bilocation. Also from other events I believe miracles happened too during those times involving Native Americans and Mary. I believe the love between Mary and some Native Americans is real and strong and a positive thing. So I've read only a small amount on this Mary of Agreda and the evidence that bilocation occurred seems to be rather strong. But for me, being a believer in both bilocation and Marian miracles, my thinking that this is of high likelihood is not the great stretch it would be for non-believers. In fact I believe there are psychic doppelgangers of just regular people even in modern times. Family members and friends report these events and share stories in this internet age.
