In the fall of 2011  we started reading Thomas Cahill’s book,  “Mysteries of the Middle Ages---The Rise of Feminism, Science, and Art from the Cults of Catholic Europe.  The author is  easy to read  with interesting sidebar  comments and  beautiful art  work.  The first third of the book was  all introduction  to  the Middle  Ages.  There was so much information  in this section that it  took  us all fall  to  read and discuss it.  By  December we  were  ready  for the  first  chapter on the cult of the virgin and its  consequences.  In January we were to read the Pursuit of Love, chapter two. Those of  us at the meeting  had a lot to  talk about  but  so many  people were on  a   winter  vacation  that  we  decided  to  redo  that  chapter for  February  plus  the  Intermezzo  section  titled,  "Entrances to  other  worlds,  pp. 176-186.  We will meet on  Sunday February  5  in the  ESSE  room  at  7:00 pm.
