Dear Mauri
Well I suppose a foot in the door of christendom, means 20 million more theosophists.

Anand, a couple of little books were 
written by Alice Cleather after HPB's 
death, offering her thoughts about the 
Besant/Leadbeater influence on the 
Theosophical Movement. Apparently 
Cleather used to be a regular member of 
the esoteric section headed by HBP. 
Titles? I think one book was something 
like THE GREAT BETRAYAL. They might be 
available at your local TS library.

Not that Cleather's views about 
"betrayal" in that context might not get 
disputed by the Catholic Church, among 
other things, eg, but ... Which reminds 
me: there's a book called THE POPE'S 
ARMADA, by Gordon Urquhart, about a 
number of extreme right-wing, extremely 
fundamentalist (I don't think I'm 
exaggerating the "extreme" part), 
dictatorial, totalitarian, brainwashing 
and Pope John Paul II-approved cults. 
Reading that book I couldn't help 
wondering about what plans Besant 
might've had in mind for the future of 
her "Liberal Catholic Church" at the 
same time that she was acting as the 
head of the Theosophical Movement.

Speculatively,
Mauri
