Esoteric Catholicism
= Esoterischer Katholizismus
Also known as Esoteric Catholicism / Esoterischer Katholizismus; Esoterischer Katholizismus
by Viktoria Vitanova-Kerber & Helmut Zander
- First published:
- 21st century
- Languages: English, German
Open to deviance, Catholic theology and devotional practice managed to integrate stigmata, revelations, visions, "magic," and spiritualistic contact – more so than Protestantism. At the same time, esoteric groups did not usually become independent as “separate” communities. We analyze the social structures and intellectual concepts behind the existence of this tolerance toward “heterodox” phenomena.
