Talk:Sacred mysteries

message: The Mysteries are by definition Sacred. And in my opinion, there should be MUCH more to say about non-/pre-Christian mystery schools than is said on this page. For example, the book The Secret Teaching of All Ages by Manly P. Hall is a good reference. Unfortunately, i am not an expert on the subject, hence i cannot add to the pre-Christian section.
In the pre-Christian section, I removed the specific references to Mithraism, which has an extensive article of its own, as I felt it unbalanced the piece. Robina Fox 15:04, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That was a mistake. Wikipedia is full of cross-references and Mithraism and its sacred Mysteries is very important to this article! 99.169.79.198 (talk) 14:41, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
thread_title: More Than Christian

message: Although I've cleaned up the section entitled, Hindu Milk-Drinking Idol, made it more NPOV, and moved it to the end to preserve a chronological arrangement of the article, I really question why it was added to this article in the first place. Do Hindus use the term "Sacred Mystery" in referring to this? MishaPan 22:32, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Hindu Milk-Drinking Idol?

message: The term Sacred Mysteries is not generic, but one having a specific meaning in Christian theology.  That is the whole point of the article, is it not?

replies: text: Christianity claims no "trademark or copyright on 'sacred mysteries'" - that was bizarre. The Roman Catholic Church has attempted to detract from the original meaning of the 'sacred Mysteries' be redefining it and including the term in its mass as part of its dogma. Terminology is very important. 99.169.79.198 (talk) 14:47, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

thread_title: Disambiguation of "Mysterium"

message: If this page covers religions other than Christianity (albeit currently only in pre-Christianity form), is it worth adding a brief note about similarities in other religions, such as Scientology, which prohibits believers from learning about things like Xenu until they've paid enough gained enough EXP attained the OT3 level? It seems a somewhat similar concept. Xmoogle (talk) 20:53, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
