Ecclesial Passion Doctrine
The doctrine that the Church, like Christ her head, must pass through her own passion, death, and resurrection to be renewed — seen in vision as a noble, majestic woman lying dislocated and abandoned in the street, her own members crying “Be crucified, be crucified!” while her ministers act as her most cruel executioners — with the divine response being to purge the infected members through chastisements, incorporate innocent ones in their place, and restore the dislocated body through the bilateral action of Christ and the victim soul who lifts and heals her, until at the touch of Jesus the woman is transformed into a graceful, holy child who will grow strong toward the eschatological presentation without spot or wrinkle.
