I Run These Priests

  • I’m a cradle Catholic, a traditionalist; I only attended the Novus Ordo for like one year in the 90’s.

    The other day I ran into an elderly lady at a Novus Ordo church non-mass function, I had not seen her in 35 years ago, when she was my neighbor. To cut to the chase, she said that she runs the church (a big church, holds 800 people) and that she was going to cut the heads off some priest who did not attend the function. She went on and on about how she runs the show. I knew her well, I know she is not exaggerating. She is truly an alpha female of the worst order.

    This lady could be my mother, so I did not say anything and let her talk (I am a leader of men, and I marvel at how men can allow themselves to be domineered by the physically weaker sex). It was all very eye opening to one who is not accustomed to seeing women even lead a Rosary. Our conversation brought back the memory of my short stint in the Novus Ordo, which I attended for less than one year before I found tradition. I remember that the women ran everything, and during the weekday masses scarcely were any men seen other than the priests, which seemed to only have the function of performing the mass. I also remember how very few men even went to mass. I remembered how friends who traveled to Europe told me that they were the only man at mass during the week, that it was only old women. It dawned on me that this alpha female elderly lady was the icon of the New Catholic Church administrators on the ground. It dawned on me that it is these ladies that run the show on the ground, not the Bishops, not the pastors, not the priests.

    I think it was on Rorate Coeli that I read that 98% of French Catholics do not go to mass. That is the same as saying that nobody goes to mass in France.  In the USA, the statistics say that 25% of Catholics go to mass at least once a month. It appears to me though, that it is principally the men that have left the Church. From my own point of view, before I knew what I was doing, the first thing that kept me from going to mass was the effeminacy and irrelevancy of the whole affair. The priests were not the type of men that men respect and admire. First, their appearance, they were not masculine men, not good examples for young boys (and men) to look up to. Secondly, their sermons were about nothing, not wanting to offend anyone, they were left pretty much with talking about subjects like the weather.

    Now, I ask, why would a man go to listen to basically an un-masculine waster of one’s time? The priests have nothing to offer the men and the place is run by feelings oriented alpha females. Why would a man want to go there? Imagine having to visit a house that is run by an alpha female and have to endure it every day or once a week? From my point of view, this is what has chased away all the men from going to mass, what has killed the Novus Ordo church (99+% of the Church)

    Remembering my conversation with this alpha female elderly lady “who runs this church” and pondering upon I Corinthians 14:34, I wonder if this lady and all like her that run the show are punishment upon the clergy today, the Pope/Bishops/Priests? They did not do God’s work, and so they were given up to be run my women?

    I've seen this in Tradition with priests who were otherwise very firm, great sermons etc.  I think it is a reflection of the times.
    We conclude logically that religion can give an efficacious and truly realistic answer to the great modern problems only if it is a religion that is profoundly lived, not simply a superficial and cheap religion made up of some vocal prayers and some ceremonies...

  • May our men stand up and take the lead so that women like this cannot.

  • When you look at our men today they are indeed effeminate and possibly closet ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs. A real man controls his women. One can even say that at least Islam does a better job at stopping this onslaught of feminism (there is no feminism in the Arab world ha) than we men here in the West, which is why we are an endangered species.

    This is wrong. There's a great deal of difference between the Christian view of women and the Muslim view. In Christianity, women are of equal dignity insofar as they too have immortal souls capable of great sanctity (see: the Blessed Virgin Mary, all the female saints), it's just that they have a submissive / modest role by nature and they ought to fulfil that. The Muslim view is that practically women do not have souls.

    Your view, "a real man controls his women", is unchristian, it's pagan. The Christian view is that a man should not have to tell a woman what to do because she should submit herself according to humility, and really it's a shame for a man to have to tell a woman to do it in the first place, and that if he has to it's only for her own good/happiness, and not to lord it over her and humiliate her for the sake of it. In Christianity men and women are able to be friends. In the pagan world and in the muslim world friendship between men and women is rare. Often wives are treated as little more than slaves.

    The Muslim view of women is probably worse than the modern liberal view. They are both against nature, but the modern liberal view is really a corruption of the liberty that Christianity gave to women, whereas the Muslim view reduces women almost to the level of beasts.

    Men that talk about women needing to be whipped are probably emasculated men to begin with. Look at Nietzsche for example, he was emasculated and he said that about women needing to be whipped. And those Muslim men that murder their wives or daughters that commit adultery or fornication - it's not just a sense of justice that they do it out of, it's emasculation. In a way Muslim men are afraid of women. They cover them up but in a strange way they are also highly eroticised. In Islam, if a man and a woman commit fornication it's entirely the woman's fault; women are seen as temptresses to the point that a man cannot be blamed for giving into temptation.

  • Read the Song of Songs in the Bible or any of the statements that describe man and wife as being one flesh. In this there is a great mystery of the friendship and mutual dependence and complimentary of man and wife. The pagan view that reduces the wife to an instrument of pleasure and child-rearing destroys this primordial mystery, the true and natural relationship between man and wife. Man and wife are supposed to be able to soften their hearts towards one and other and confide in each other. The man shouldn't harden his heart against her and boss her around because he's afraid that if he doesn't scare her into submission she will commit adultery. This is just the fear of emasculation, which is emasculating in itself.

    Also, as for the OP. Women can be vain and hysterical. I wouldn't take her word all that seriously. Even if what she says it's true, I find your comments about an effeminate priesthood ridiculous in that you imply that you have the right to separate yourself from your lawful bishop if he doesn't live up to your standard of masculinity. Also, I remember reading something from a French source in the 1800s about how people then were complaining that religion was only for women. When a society becomes unreligious and materialist the women will cling on longer because, I think, women rely more on their intuition than on reason, and this intuition tells them that there is some kind of purpose in life higher than the material world.

    The modern view of women is much worse than the Muslim view, which lets women run around as whores and have sex with any man under the tent. Women are inferior to men and CANNOT do things men can. Now that being said I do not think women should be slaves (uh Muslim women cannot be slaves either since no Muslim can be a slave, unless you're using the feminist view of marriage being slavery) but women should be completely shunned from all manners of careers (and when they do get pregnant in an ideal world they would quit their job to raise more children).

    What bull ha. I think you have been hanging around females too much and need to hang around real men a lot more. Women cannot stand warfare and are weaker than men in dealing with it, while men want to die for a cause higher than themselves. Tell me which gender is tougher again?

    There's only a certain sect of radical feminists who promote whoredom as good-in-itself. Most moderns just think that women should have the right to have sex with whom they want and not feel guilty about it. Of course I disagree with this, because fornication is a grave sin, offends God, defiles the soul, lowers the dignity of the human being, spreads disorder in society, etc. However, this ill-conceived and disastrous liberty is nearer to the truth than the Muslim view. Christ came to set us free. The liberals also believe that they are setting people free (at least the well-intentioned among them), they are just ignorant and tragically mistaken. That view which would subject women to the extent that they are not recognised as human beings is very far from the truth. Christ Himself said that Moses only allowed polygamy because of the hardness of the Jєωs hearts.

    Try telling that to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
    In Christ we are equal :

    Quote
    There is neither Jєω nor Greek: there is neither bond nor free: there is neither male nor female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.


     The inferiority of women is really a practical issue. It's just that they are physically weaker and more volatile in their emotions, so they are better suited to more passive roles in society. It's not that women are inferior in themselves. If we get to heaven we will be kneeling before the Blessed Virgin Mary. We won't be served by 72 virgins.

    What did I say about warfare and dying for a higher cause? I was more referring to the fact that if you ask atheist females and atheist males if they think that there is a point to life, you will get more of the females saying sentimentally that there is a "reason" or "higher purpose". It's a fact, if I remember rightly, that when religion was dying out in France after the revolution the women were better at clinging on to religion than the men. Why do you think this is?

    The Old Testamant is still God's Word is it not? That makes polygamy more natural than ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity, since the Patriarchs all practiced it.

    In the real world we are not equal. Women are weaker than men, are more emotional and foolhardy, more temptuous than men, etc.

    I find it funny that you quote St. Paul since he also lambasts a church for allowing a whore to become the spirutal leader of it and says that wives should submit to their husbands as if they are submitting to Christ.

    No evidence of this fact given, and if I also remember correctly that most Catholic Queen, Marie Antionette bankrupted the royal treasury and sent the country into revolution by her lavicious spending habits.

    Yes, but the difference is that a Christian wife in submitting does so out of grace, as you say, as if she was submitting to Christ. That's a lot different than your husband lording it over you and you being forced to submit. That's a brutal relationship based on fear rather than love.

    Actually it is the same sort of relationship with God, since you both fear Him and you love Him. A woman should be so terrified of cheating on a man by her actions that she should never do it. Now I can be kind to a woman if I wish by tokens of love (i.e. gifts), taking her to the operas, or sex but if the woman cheats on me I also have no problem parading her through the streets as a whore.

  • It sounds to me like you are scandalised by the promiscuity of women today, and that has born in you a desire to see them subjugated and whipped. I know, because I have felt the same way myself. IMO this is a temptation, it breeds contempt and a hypocritical fixation on the sins of others. We should focus more on the purity of the saints than on the filthiness of irreligious women. If it makes you feel any better, I don't think these dissolute women are happy, and they certainly won't be when they get to hell. We should have pity on them like Our Lord had pity on the woman caught in adultery.
