Tilatti, Andrea: Between La Salette and Lourdes

Teresa Dus of Porzûs and Our Lady. In September 1855, Teresa Dus, a Slovenian-speaking ten-year-old girl, saw the Virgin Mary in Porzûs. The apparitions began a devotion among the Slovenian population on the border between the Italian and Slovenian ethnicities and cultures. The ecclesiastical authorities of Udine took the child, locked her in a religious house and extinguished the devotion. The context was marked by a cholera epidemic and by the 'national' and pan-Slavist problem, exacerbated by the Crimean war (1853-1856). Devotion to the Virgin had had an international flowering 'from below' (La Salette, 1846), followed by the proclamation of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception (1854). The dogma was then 'sanctioned' by the apparitions of Lourdes (1858). The Porzûs affair is investigated in this international context. 184 Seiten mit Abb., gebunden (Fscire research and papers; Vol. 2/V&R unipress 2022) leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear
