Modern Visionaries

Starting from an episode of gender violence suffered by the community of Franciscan tertiaries of Santa Maria de la Cruz de Cubas and caused by its prelates, we analyze here the denounce discourse formulated by these women in the biography of the visionary Juana de la Cruz and in her sermons. Possible change proposals in these texts are also evaluated. In order to do this, we review their concept of what the Church is and the relationship model between the sexes. The prophetic nature of this feminine discourse confers to its views an undoubted political weight.
Partiendo de un episodio de violencia de género sufrido por la comunidad de terciarias franciscanas de Santa María de la Cruz de Cubas a manos de sus prelados, se analiza aquí el discurso de denuncia que estas mujeres formularon en la biografía de la visionaria Juana de la Cruz y en sus sermones. También se valoran posibles propuestas de cambio en estos textos. Para ello, se pasa revista al concepto de Iglesia y al modelo de relación entre los sexos. El carácter profético de este discurso femenino confiere a sus planteamientos una indudable carga política.

Between the Middle Ages and modern times there was in Castile a phenomenon of feminine prophetism with great public impact. Among its main exponents are two tertiaries, the Dominican Mary of Santo Domingo and the Franciscan Juana de la Cruz. Both women incarnated the word of God in a particular way. We will analyze the communication systems that these women used to be heard trying to evaluate the weight of orality and writing in a moment of change from an oral culture to a "civilization of writing" because some important aspects of its prophetic announcement are found here.
En la transición de la Edad Media a la Moderna se dio en Castilla un fenómeno de profetismo femenino con gran repercusión pública. Entre sus principales exponentes destacan dos terciarias, la dominica María de Santo Domingo y la franciscana Juana de la Cruz. Ambas encarnaron la palabra de Dios de forma peculiar. Analizamos aquí los sistemas comunicativos que emplearon para hacerse oír intentando valorar el peso de la oralidad y de la cultura escrita en el momento de cambio de una cultura oral a una “civilización del escrito” por entender que aquí radican algunos aspectos importantes de su anuncio profético.

Phoenix – a legendary mythical bird that when dying bursts into flame and it reborn from its ashes. In commemoration of the first warp engine from earth, the Voyager crew nicknamed their new Slipstream engine 'Phoenix.' Because of its intemperate nature, they felt building a relationship with the engine, slowly learning the vast capabilities of its, the sheer speed and power it can take a ship and hoping that it being the first Slipstream engine that returning to Earth, they could rebuild from it hopefully a whole new generation of Starfleet ships. This was the goal. 'time knows no boundaries' Arturis Arturis was a Borg in a timeline that didn't exist. Belonging to a species that had been assimilated most by fault by the Borg, largely thought of in hindsight the fault of Captain Janeway. But by measure of pure perseverance and determination by Arturis to save his species he went back in time to before Janeway gave away nanoprobe technology to defeat Arturis. After his release from the collective, he was slightly unhinged. He had travelled to the future and saw humanity in its prime. He had made calculations that by stopping the mission of Atlantis to repair the damage it had made (time pollution) by orbiting earth in an attempt to get to 8472's solar system. As it went through the gateway it travelled through time. Apparently 8472 existed in a different era, that one being the Viking era. That reason is still debated by Starfleet. Some people believe it has to do with astrology and that the difference in the type of space, or that something supernatural with the race of 8472, they believed in a similar mythology but believed in the mythology in their present day. Arturis felt compassion for Janeway. The occasion he had used the Nautilus, Arturis's spacecraft to try to Trojan Horse Voyager onto the ship and take them to Borg space and have the crew assimilated. He saw moments of love, compassion and a rare friendship he had not seen often. He felt interfering in the past for the future of his species, rather its existence; he saw that not giving Kathryn Janeway mission logs, diaries and pictures of Seven of Nine, as well as the other Borg children Voyager harboured When he was assimilated trying to take with him Seven and Janeway he remembers the moments of struggle as a Borg. Most of all his freedom was so gratifying he couldn't let the Borg Voyager saved, get their freedom just like he did, in this timeline. Arturis was a species the Borg had assimilated, largely thought of the fault of Voyager for intervening in a preempted war by the Borg with Species 8472. Only known by the Federation as species 116. They were a species prided for a vast skilled with languages and a deep culture and heritage. Arturis himself was the only remaining survivors had attempted to get Voyager assimilated by the Borg after syne. Enraged by the lost of life and progress he was then assimilated and spent years working for the Borg, but eventually escaped. Although unknown to Voyager, but known to Atlantis, he had attempted to stop a mission by Atlantis, therein eliminating the future of the Federation, but had decided to change tactics and ally with Voyager by divulging to Voyager the future of their choices and actions and persuading them to let 8472 destroy the Borg.... by means of sheer survival he had begun a mission into the past, back to Voyager's crucial pact Captain Janeway had made with the Borg.
