"Imagine a Kingdom of God where peace reigns, criminals are punished only by love, and everyone speaks Polish—not Hebrew, not Latin, but Polish. This is no utopia conjured by a novelist, but the real-world vision of the Mariavites, a Catholic splinter group that has persisted for over a century in Poland and abroad, and keeps some 20,000 devotees today. Damian Cyrocki’s new book, “The Mariavites: Heresy, The Apocalypse, and Poland’s Female Savior” (Sheffield: Equinox, 2025), is the first full-length academic study in English of this extraordinary movement. Until now, significant scholarship has existed only in Polish."
