The tyranny of the minority cloaked in the mask of the majority.
That was what the witch Lucilla had recognized. No way to let her live after discovering she knew how to manipulate the masses. The witch nests would have to be found and burned. Lucilla's perceptiveness was clearly not an isolated example.
(Chapterhouse: Dune, p. 221)
I tried really hard to understand what had made the Grand Honored Matre so mad to kill Lucilla. This passage not only explains that but the rampage on all Bene Gesserit. If the Bene Gesserit can control the masses then the tyranny of the Honored Matres could not be maintained. Thank you Frank Herbert for explaining things every once in a while.
