Our Lady of the Nations is a detailed and scholarly overview of the
apparitions of Mary in 20th-century Catholic Europe. Chris Maunder
discusses apparitions in general and how they are interpreted in
Catholicism by, for example, Karl Rahner and Benedict XVI. The role
of women and children as visionaries is considered, including
issues concerning changing views of gender, children's
spirituality, and the protection of minors. He covers cases that
are well known and approved by the Church (Fatima, Beauraing,
Banneux, and Amsterdam), others that are well known but not
approved (such as Garabandal and Medjugorje), and many that are
neither well known nor approved, such as those in Belgian Flanders
or Nazi Germany in the 1930s, or in France, Italy, or Germany after
the Second World War. Resources include academic studies of
particular apparitions, some Catholic theological and devotional
literature, and occasionally travel writing. There is also coverage
of material in French which is not known to the English reader.
Shrines and visionaries are believed to be indicators of the
presence of Mary. In the visionary perspective, she has appeared in
order to reassure her followers and to warn of divine judgement.
Her messages echo doctrinal Catholic Mariology with some
innovations, but also express a deep dissatisfaction with the
events and trends of the 20th century, from communism to Nazism to
liberalism and religious indifference. While the Marian cult
evolves according to new templates for apparitions and developments
in Mariology, the fundamental message of presence, consolation, and
admonition remains constant.
