Femmenism has been the greatest curse in the last century? Is it a curse that woman are allowed to vote? What r u talking about? That woman no longer have to put up with abuse from men? Let's face it women work twice as hard as men as generally men are lazy and God does not judge. God is loving. It's your religion that does the judging Aussi

Bravo,Your Excellency. I was born in Buenos Aires and I pray for you every day.

Along with all the society,children, women and Motherhood there is one other victim of the radical feminist agenda and that is Fatherhood - both domestic and ecclisiastic. One wonders if the damage done by the feminist movement can be undone - the answer is yes - but only through the Grace of God. Let us pray then in earnest for women, m other and fathers, family and society that we may soon all recognize the perilous road we are on and turn back before it is too late.

I am a father of several, a grandfather of many and a great grandfather to several children as well. In our plight only a feminist (yes -- feminist!) lawyer has recognized the "war on motherhood" and is trying to get my daughters' children back to her and to safety! Her baby girls are being forced into the abusive --and I mean abusive in every sense of the word-- father's arms every other week while he struts around town pretending to be a better dad-parent than my daughter ever was or is a mother. He denigrates her, using lies and ugly names in court and out-and-about in the court of public opinion. Yet I would say that out of all the mothers I've known in a lifetime this woman is as good a mother or better than most.

Thank God for feminist lawyers if they are the only ones willing and able
to help such women today! On the whole-- our families, our society and, yes, our churches seem to wash their hands of people like my daughter. "Please just go away. We believe you but..." they say. These agencies are not helping women like this daughter who are truly the "widows and orphans" of our age.

The Bible has harsh things to say to those who neglect “widows and orphans”. Only this one feminist lawyer seems to be willing to do something! May God bless her mightily for what she is doing. As for me and my wife, we will look a good deal more closely at what feminists are saying and doing before saying much against them as individuals or even as a group.

The Bishop is right on here and represents the new progressive thinking. Mike's thinking is old style 70's collectist thinking.

Isn't it amazing how vicious the "left wing" liberals are in their writings and with their mouths? They make discussion and debate all about name calling with blistering words that attempt to demean ANYONE who disagrees with them.
Meanwhile, people of faith try to be "tolerant," understanding and charitable. How horrible the world would be if the faithful were as vicious as the sinful.

It's rather obvious where "Mike" is coming from. We hope and pray those who live on the far "left" and who advocate sin and scandal will not be LEFT out of heaven.

I am a mother of 4 and have been happily married for 31 yrs. I am proud of the vocation I have chosen..... Radical feminism has attacked the family and has caused great damage. Why do feminists think they are talking for all women? THEY ARE NOT!!! These poor women need prayers to turn from the hurt they feel....grace is the only thing that will heal these women....Let's see we have abortion, same sex marriage, euthenasia...terrible things that this world would never have allowed 40 yrs. ago. This world needs to take its blinders off and see the TRUTH. Evil is being called Good and GOOD is being called Evil.

Many prayers going up for all the clergy to keep up the good fight such as the archbishop is doing and also for the feminists....that they may change their ways.

I feel sorry for Mike and his views. I am a victim of extreme Feminism propaganda taught at both high school and college level education throughout the 1970s and 1980s. If it were not for the beautiful writings of John Paul II the GREAT, and the Grace of God, I would not be married today to one of the most loyal husbands in the world and I would not have embraced life as God's plan for me. I now have four beautiful children who I receive as gifts from God. We need to find out what God's plan is for us and cooperate with that plan. For some women, it may be that they are to become Secretary of State. BUT, it is only when we as women recognize and accept our true femininity that we will be truly happy. Pray for wisdom, read JPII, and perservere. Radical feminism is a lie and I am now a witness to Truth. Thanks be to God!!

The Archbishop is correct in his views on promoting, celebrating and supporting motherhood. He gets his views from the beginning, when God created Man and Woman and thus formed the first marriage.

Mike: Why do you put it in political terms by calling it "right wing"? This is the view of many reasonable people, myself included who are neither extreme nor right wing. As a Catholic Archbishop, I doubt he would like living in a Moslem country because he would probably be denied his ability to express his faith openly. His crazy assumptions as you call them, come directly from the "fruits" of the radical feminist movement. If you want crazy, read about Margaret Sanger who openly supported Nazism and supported abortion and birth control as a means of controlling the minority population in this country. You can shine it up any way you'd like, but we all know the dirty little secret of what goes on in these clinics. The same dirty little secret that when on in Germany 60 years ago. Nothing will change the fact that 44 million children have been ripped to shreds because of this evil. Deal with that when you opine about other people's radicalism.

The Virgin Mary is the ultimate mother. She is a shining example for mothers everywhere. Because God willed it that way and because she said "yes" to our Lord.

Modern feminism is the complete opposite of Mary's example.

Modern Feminism is boastful, prideful, lustful, and the list goes on.
Mary on the other hand, is simple, pure and humble. There is no mistaking Her Love. Her faith in God and obedience to His Will is a much better example for young women then modern feminism could ever be.

Feminism has been the greatest curse in the last century. There motto "I will not serve"
Clergy are scared and will not proclaim openly this scourge that is causing millions of abortions and breakdown of marriage and family.
The Virgin Mary proclaims true femininty.
As was propesied A time will come when it is blessed are the barren.
The barren loveless women of the western World

Where does he get these crazy assumptions, mike? From feminists such as Betty Friedan, who wrote in The Feminine Mystique that the traditional homes where wives were not employed are "comfortable concentration camps. Or Beverly Jones and Judith Brown, who in the influential pamphlet "Toward a Female Liberation Movement," wrote that "The married woman knows that love is, at its best, an inadequate reward for her unnecessary and bizarre heritage of oppression." Or Kate Millett who declared in Sexual Politics that in "contemporary patriarchies...[wives'] chattel status continues in their loss of name, their obligation to adopt the husband's domicile, and the general legal assumption that marriage involves an exchange of the female's domestic service and [sexual] consortium in return for financial support." There are dozens more quotes here: http://www.heritage.org/Research/Family/bg1662.cfm

Educate yourself, Mike.

The loss of femininity vs. the increase of feminism, has caused the loss of balance between humanity.

The lack of appreciation of motherhood and feminine sense, I guess is the main cause of that loss.

Homosexuality is now rampant. Parents do not accept children as a gift of life from God, and do not affirm them, with their love; children lack self assurance and acceptance.

Women believe that they have to become manly to be better women, and they are wrong. Propaganda makes a lot in this; also communistic beliefs: all exactly equal, even in gender.

Each sex has to know their gift and thank God for it. Femininity and masculinity as a quality, has to be promoted.

They are born: man or woman, out of the love of God.

Their diversity is much needed. It is God's gift.

Their diversity is created and wanted by God; in that diversity is that they are creative, in the Image of God, who created them: as Man and Woman.

Marriage is the sacrament of Creation. It is a very grave sin to try to violate it in any way.

When the revolution becomes tradition the tradition becomes the revolution. Mike, you always seem to cross the line with your left-wing credentials.

The archbishop is crossing lines here and his extreme right wing credentials are showing. He would probably like living in a Moslem country where women are generally not supported. There are better paenes to motherhood than crucifying feminism. Where on earth does he get these crazy assumptions he makes?
