                          ROMAN CATHOLIC.
              _Litany of our Lady of Loretto: Virgin._

     1. Holy Mary, mother of divine grace.
     2. Mother of God.
     3. Mother of Christ.
     4. Virgin of Virgins.
     5. Mother of Divine Grace.
     6. Virgin most chaste.
     7. Mother most pure.
        Mother undefiled.
        Mother inviolate.
        Mother most amiable.
        Mother most admirable.
     8. Virgin most powerful.
        Virgin most merciful.
        Virgin most faithful.
     9. Mirror of Justice.
    10. Seat of Wisdom.
    11. Mystical Rose.
    12. House of Gold.
    13. Morning Star.
    14. Ark of the Covenant.
    15. Queen of Heaven.
    16. Mater Dolorosa.
    17. Mary conceived without sin. (In accordance with later
        orders.)

If the Virgin Mary has her nuns, who are consecrated to her and bound
to live in chastity, so had Isis her nuns in Egypt, as Vesta had hers
at Rome, and the Hindu Nari, “mother of the world hers.” The virgins
consecrated to her cultus--the Devadasi of the temples, who were the
nuns of the days of old--lived in great chastity, and were objects of
the most extraordinary veneration, as the holy women of the goddess.
Would the missionaries and some travellers reproachfully point to the
modern Devadasis, or Nautch-girls? For all response, we would beg
them to consult the official reports of the last quarter century,
cited in chapter II., as to certain discoveries made at the razing
of convents, in Austria and Italy. Thousands of infants’ skulls were
exhumed from ponds, subterranean vaults, and gardens of convents.
Nothing to match _this_ was ever found in heathen lands.
