	Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary is an English nursery rhyme.
		Another is that it refers to Mary I of England and her unpopular attempts to bring Roman Catholicism back to England, identifying the "cockle shells," for example, with the symbol of pilgrimage to the shrine of Saint James in Spain (Santiago de Compostela) and the "pretty maids all in a row" with nuns.
		Alternatively, capitalsing on the queen's potrayal by whig historians as 'Bloody Mary', the "silver bells and cockle shells" referred to in the nursery rhyme could be colloquialisms for instruments of torture.

	Mary I of England - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mary, the fourth and penultimate monarch of the Tudor dynasty, is remembered for her attempt to return England from Protestantism to Roman Catholicism.

	Mary, Mary, quite contrary - theage.com.au
		Mary Wesley defied literary convention by becoming a best-selling novelist at the age of 70, and social convention by writing explicitly about sex; her best known books, Jumping the Queue (1982), The Camomile Lawn (1984) and Harnessing Peacocks (1985), were successfully adapted for television.
		The younger Mary, meanwhile, was sent to schools in England where she was desperately unhappy.
		Her articles for the magazine were not used because she wrote that she hated the fact that the English, American and French occupying forces had servants, cars and plenty to eat while the Germans were still starving in holes in the ground.

	Feminist scholars redefine Mary Magdalene, says writer Kenneth L. Woodward -- Beliefnet.com
		Scholars have known for decades, if not longer, that Mary Magdalene was not a prostitute, and that she had been erroneously conflated in early Christian tradition with the penitent woman in Luke who anoints the feet of the soon-to-be-crucified Jesus and dries them with her hair.
		Nor is the contrary view, that Jesus was gay and had a thing for John, the "beloved disciple," a new idea; I came upon it in the 1960s, when the notion of Jesus as the ultimate “outsider” was popular in Existentialist circles.
		In the case of Mary Magdalene, the news is not what is being said about her, but the new context in which she is being placed--and who is doing the placing and why.

		Lest you think all this the work of the Monty Python crew, the Church of Mary Magdelene was built in the 1890s by the local parish priest, Father Beranger Sauniere, but where he got the money for the construction seems even more problematic than the eldritch edifice itself.
		They even produce a photo of the sepulture of the widow's son, which is quite near Rennes-le-Chateau, and point out its strong resemblance to a similar tomb in the painting, Shepherds of Arcadia, by Nicholas Poussin.
