Re: Theos-World Who made the mistakes: Koot Hoomi or Leadbeater???

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
