Steve,
Well, you have delved in Catholicism where I have not search that 
deeply. One
monitor of mine was the consideration that many of the high potentates of 
the Church
were literally Franchises and Fiefdoms of men who for the requisite fee 
purchased 
the office, stature and mantle, literally some had no qualification at 
all, others were
illiterate. I would like and appreciate a view from your perspective of 
which you came
to consider as expressly "Initiate" by name and why as this would be a 
stimulating
sharing.

I might ask as regards Mead and a system whether you read or have his 
"Orpheus"
in which he delineates the Orphic Theogony with many schematic inserts?
