    94. His comment, however, about such women and their visions has several intellectual weaknesses. The first is that there is no evidence that Freud ever systematically studied the issue in question. He was operating on secondary sources. This time, oddly enough, he referred to “former times,” while in the Diana article it was in “our own days.” The issue of time is not trivial, since, in fact, the 100 years from 1820 to 1917 were probably richer in such historical visions than any other such period. Besides Lateau (ca. 1868) and Emmerich (1818-1824), there was St. Bernadette of Lourdes (1858); seven years after Freud’s skeptical comment, the most famous visions of all were reported—those of Fatima in 1917. Anyone familiar with these cases will know that police arrests, medical tests, and rejection, hostility, and skepticism from neighbors and especially the Church were common to all.
