How Some Traditional Catholics Are Jumping The Rails Over the Clancy Debacle

In the aftermath of the Lindsay Clancy mess, particularly bizarre reactions of some so-called feminists and the copycat killings of children that regretably seem to be increasing, some unfortunate noise is reemerging from some in traditional Catholic circles.   And no, I will not link to them for I refuse to direct traffic to their sites.

According to their, well, mysogynistic thinking, the actions of a few nut-jobs in recent weeks indicate that all women are too driven by their emotions and sentiments to be entrusted with anything outside of their homes.  In particular, that means that women are incapable of casting votes during elections.  Of course, they are singularly incapable of actually holding governmental office, according to these reactionaries.

Some history is in order here.  We just celebrated the 25 anniversay of the 9/11 attacks.  Those attacks during which thousands died were conducted by men.  Did they receive accolades like Lindsay?  They most certainly did, in Muslim countries that are certainly patriarchal in structure.  Were there any "copycat" killers?  Those of us in the DC area are witness to that.  Recall the "beltway shooters": John Mohammed and Lee Malvo terrorized the Maryland and DC area until their apprehension in a truck reststop on I-70.

Then there is Nazi Germany, responsible for the Holocaust that killed 6 millions of Jewish extraction.  They too won accolades from the patriarchal Nazis.  Any copycats?  Well, there are the so-called "Aryans" and various skinheads that have wreaked some damage; I am unaware of the total extent of that.

Then there are nut-jobs like Jeffrey Dahmer, Charles Manson, etc.  With all this mass-murder throughout the decades, I have heard no suggestion that men are incapable of governance because of male violence.  

No one doubts that there are sins that are more prevalent among one gender than the other.  Men seem to have more trouble controlling both their sexual and violent tendencies than do women.  We have heard ad infinitum that men need to control and master those tendencies.  In no way have we heard that men should step away from responsibility so that those tendencies should be coddled.

Now we see how feminists have done a number on women by suggesting that their gender weaknesses should be coddled.  Regrettably some Catholics seem to agree.  Women do tend to let sentiment override common sense.  That is not just some adorable little foible upon which we should smile indulgently.  When anyone lets sentiment guide decisions as opposed to logic and common sense, they commit sins against the Virtue of Prudence.  There's no sugar-coating that.  As men must be taught as boys to master their sexual and violent impulses, so must women be taught as girls to bring their sentimental tendencies under strict control.  Else, how can either of them raise their own children, let alone assume responsibilities in the larger society?

So we, both men and women, have sins to be mortified, some of them influenced by our respective genders.  I think we've seen and heard exhortations to men to reign in their passions, with those exhortations being followed by the examples of St Bernard of Clairvox and St Francis of Assisi.  Ladies, are we prepared to do the same with our tendencies to let emotions cloud our thinking?  This is not optional.  Both genders need to hold themselves and each other to the highest Christian standards, without making excuses for each other AND without making brash generalizations about one gender because of the harmful ideologies harbored by a few.

Where Feminism Shows Its Satanic Roots

My blogging colleague at Eponymous Flower posted a report, with two videos, about an attack on the Cathedral of San Juan Bautista by hordes of lesbians, abortion advocates and a general assortment of depraved degenerates.  They would have stormed the church were it not for 1500+ faithful Catholics who formed a human shield around it.  On the second video you'll see how they were manhandled by the degenerates.  I warn you that there is a goodly amount of nudity and at least one act of sexual perversion.  I also suspect that there is a fair amount of vile language that Spanish-speaking readers can grasp.  You'll also see them burn an effigy of Pope Francis; the way they scamper and dance around the inferno is indicative of some pagan, if not satanic elements to the affair.

God bless those faithful Catholics who, by God's grace, were able to maintain a prayerful attitude with courage in the face of the hatred and hostility exuding from that barbarian mob.

Bro-Choice Guys: These Nincompoops Are Seen For What They Are

Notice I said "guys", not "men" for they don't deserve to be called "men".  "Spoiled brats" may be more like it, but "guys" is shorter.  I touched on this "bro-choice" thing in last Friday's post, that even had a local manifestation of that psycho-social deficiency.  If you watch that video again, you'll notice that the so-called "feminists" with the orange vests (signifying membership in Washington Area Clinic Defense Task Force) have absolutely no problem with the guy who is clearly objectifying women.

Well, the "bro-choice" brain-rot is in the process of spreading.  Watch this video below (some vulgarity within).  Oh, the gal at the end?  That's Sarah Silverman, and she really was shilling for the pro-abortion agenda!

Left-Wing Campaign Strategies?

Yes, the Code Pink faction of the Minions Most Mindless is coming to the rescue of their adored Messiah Most Miserable!  They hope that their presidential campaign strategy will save the day for Barack HUSSEIN Obama!  And just what, pray tell, is this innovative, cutting-edge strategy?  (drum roll and trumpets, please!)

(Code Pink's words, not mine!)  "Send Your V to the RNC!"

You can read about it on the redredhead blog, along with "artistic representations".  On the most basic scientific level, these dumb broads don't know the difference between "vulva" and "vagina".  More to the point, they themselves are meting out to women the treatment of which they accused the "male chauvanistic pigs" around 40 years ago.  They're objectifying women (meaning themselves), representing themselves as mere body parts.  My friend at Les Femmes has a very telling photo of some of those pathetic dames.  Is this the end-product of feminism?

With these hare-brained antics, the progressives are letting the world know that liberalism is brain-rot.  If they really think this will help Obama come November, let them carry on in their delusions.  But pray for their repentance, as they are toying with their eternal fates.

Heretic Nun To Speak At Washington Theological Union July 14th

Today an astute reader named Maria, in commenting on one of my posts, alerted me to a heretical speaker who is slated to speak at the Washington Theological Union on July 14th at 7:30pm.  She is Sister Sandra M. Schneiders, IHM.  A google search reveals that she is one of that bunch of heterodox nuns of the radical feminist variety.  She is, or was, involved in Call to Action. 

This article details some of her weird beliefs.  Here are some direct quotes from Sister:

• Jesus is a Sophia Incarnation.
• The Bible is not only linguistically and culturally strange to the modern reader; it also contains both scientific and historical errors and morally problematic material...

Two years ago, she wrote an article for the National Catholic Reporter (of course!) complaining about the Apostolic Visitation yet to occur.  Here's one choice snippet: "The current Apostolic Visitation is not a normal dialogue between religious and church authorities. It is the ecclesiastical analogue of a grand jury indictment.."  One could opine that she has a problem with Church authority.  In another complaint about the visitation, she opined in an email, publised by NCRonline, that "we've given birth to a new form of religious life".  That's arguably true; however, this "new form" is a grotesque, banalized caricature of authentic religious life.

The title of her talk (as announced in this week's Catholic Standard) is "Christian Mission to the World: What Are We Called To And Why?"  Well, given that this woman thinks that Jesus is a "sophia incarnation", we know that this talk won't be worth the spit produced in its utterance.

For Washington Theological Union, here is a list of the staff, including the president.  Here is a list of the board of trustees.  Finally, here is the page with address, phone numbers and faxes.  Let's contact them and suggest that they not be host to the spewing of heresy.

"Catholyc" Feminism - From A Proverbial Horse's Mouth

This month's issue of New Oxford Review (see right sidebar), in its book review section, has a piece on a book by Mary J. Henold that details the history of feminism in the Catholic church.  This author is herself an unabashed feminist, but the book seems to be of value for detailing the goals of this particular progressive infestation and the thinking of many of its key players.  I urge you to read this review.  While on the surface we see many of the proponents aging and dying off, the damage done still continues to fester and it must be corrected.

By the way - for a relevant commentary on feminism, particularly its response to "Weinergate", see what my colleague, Dymphna, has to say.
