Bravo Matthew, we all need positive comments, helpful advice. Keep your cars, yes, and stock up, as Mgr Williamson said, and have foresight.

Request to Matthew:

The thread is intended to be instructional.

On the chance feminists begin to derail it, it may be a good idea either to lock it, or, remove my "not women!" words (words which I fully stand by, for the record). :nunchaku:

At the risk of being called a "feminist", so you're telling me to go sit down in a corner and shut up? I have no business in the fight because I'm a woman?What about the "Holy Women" in the Acts of the Apostles who aided in the missionary journeys, etc. (wealthy business women). So I'll just quit talking to people about the crises, I'll quit printing copies of "Operation ѕυιcιdє". I stop the planning for a chapel, so far we're just women, so I guess to have no business in dealing with such things, what do I know about anything (I'll just burn my degree in the fireplace, I'm just so dumb-that's what I find that the typical "Trad" expects of women), well are you going to kick me out of the resistance- sorry I'know how difficult it is to carry on?) My husband is agnostic, I have to fight for my catholic convictions and spend time explaining this anti-woman side of the movement to him. I've spoken to my priest about this part of catholic culture, he apologized and encouraged me to not allow it to affect my faith, and you can be sure that it won't, I love the faith, I love Our Blessed Lord and His Mother, but like I said boy oh boy, you guys can make it so hard, what's with this throwing the "feminist" word out there and then ecpecting us all to run away, afraid in case you label us. I'm no feminist, but now I guess that's what you'll call me because it's just so much easier to label someone and dismiss them. Try it and see what happens in eternity. God bless, please can't you just be more considerate in your speech, why do you assume that everyone has the benefit of these "strong catholic men" to support them!

Hello Marie Therese... I know just what you mean. This just started happening on the other thread regarding Mgr Williamson's conference, called 'Why women should not sing at Mass'. When you listen the whole of his talk, and not take any of it out of context, you can see that what he ways makes a lot of sense. So, what happened then...? Immediately you got the usual whining noises of how it is women's fault, etc., etc. So I responded... See my comments under 1531.

Bishop Williamson called men 'dishrags' and explained that was why women had to take the lead and fill the vacuum! since men, and I mean most traditionalist Catholic men especially since they should be the bright example, have largely abdicated their responsibilities. There are not a few wives of traditional Catholic men who will confirm how their men are content a lot of the time to play computer games, pass the time on the internet, watch TV, especially the sporting channels, and so on. Various priests will also confirm this.

God bless the women who have kept the lamp burning!

so true 1531, i heard a priest say 'God will judge fathers of family's quite harshly,' so much is left to women.......

Heh. Bishop Williamson: 'if the men were men, they would say 'look honey, just move aside, this is not your business, I'll handle this.' Now when trad men say just that, they get a slew of down-rates and a blast or two from some of the same women telling us how much they enjoyed his Excellency's talk and how women are just looking for men to lead.

Ah well. I do like to see women with some fight in them. Any of you happen to be Irish?

The FACT is that women do have it within them to "fill the void" when necessary.

That doesn't mean that women were meant to lead, or that things are perfect when they have to fill the void. Certain problems will arise that WOULDN'T have arisen if the women hadn't been forced to use the "in case of emergency, break glass".

Many women have it within them to "be strong" and survive, in the absence of a man (husband who died young, was killed, ran away, etc.). But it's always a sad thing when they have to.

Think of a group of 3 minor children being left orphans in a war. The 12 year old, the oldest, finds odd jobs and earns money, and manages to take care of his 10 year old sister and 8 year old brother. How heroic! How beautiful! But also how sad.

Women having to go out into the work world should be thought of in a similar manner. How heroic that they manage! But also how sad that they must leave their normal role behind, because of this grave necessity they find themselves in.
