Catholic Candle note:  The article below concerns the consecration of Russia which Heaven commanded to be performed by the pope and all of the bishops of the world.  This command pertains to the bishops in their capacity as wielding jurisdictional power to govern the Church throughout the world.  As such, the consecration can be performed by those Ordinaries who govern the Church, despite the doubtfulness that their conciliar consecrations give them the sacramental power of a bishop.  For an explanation of this, please read chapters 10 and 11 of this book: https://catholiccandle.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/sedevacantism-material-or-formal-schism.pdf

Catholic Candle holds that a bishop should be presumed to have a valid Episcopal consecration when he is consecrated under normal conditions, by the Church in normal times.  In other words, the fact that he was consecrated under the Church’s normal conditions, in normal times, causes an appropriate presumption that he is a valid bishop.

However, this presumption (of the validity of such a bishop’s consecration) could be rebutted even in normal times, by a positive doubt – even a small positive doubt – concerning the validity of his particular consecration.  Read more about this principle here: https://catholiccandle.neocities.org/faith/new-ordination-doubtful.html

We hold that the consecrations performed outside these normal conditions and not during normal times, do not deserve such presumption of validity because the Church does not vouch for those consecrations.  Those consecrations should not be taken as valid unless they are proven valid.

Is Communism Dead?

The short answer is No.

Webster’s Dictionary states that Communism is a theory advocating the elimination of private property.  That is one of the main goals of Communism and Socialism.  Another pillar is the eradication of our freedom to work and plan for a life on earth and salvation thereafter.

Perhaps because these Communist goals are so horrific to contemplate, most people today choose to simply ignore what this actually means and how the increasing rise of Communism is radically changing their lives and jeopardizing their salvation.  It is easier for them to believe that Marxism/Socialism/Communism were discredited decades ago and that the Blessed Mother’s command in 1917 no longer applies, viz., that the pope and all the bishops of the world must consecrate Russia to her Immaculate Heart.

Wrong!  The dangers of Communism are now greater than ever and Our Lady’s command is more important than ever.  Our Blessed Mother gave us explicit instructions on what must be done to avoid wars and persecution of the Church.                                                             

If people will do what I will tell them, many souls will be saved, and there will be peace.  The war is going to end.  But if they do not stop offending God, another and worse war will break out in the reign of Pius XI.  (1922-1939)  [This refers to World War II.] 

When you see a night illumined by an unknown light, know that it is the great sign that God gives you, that He is going to punish the world for its crimes by means of war, hunger, persecution of the Church and of the Holy Father.”[1]

To forestall this great tragedy, she asked for the consecration of Russia to her Immaculate Heart and for Communions of Reparation on the First Saturdays.

If they heed my request, Russia will be converted, and there will be peace.  If not, she shall spread her errors throughout the world, promoting wars and persecutions of the Church; the good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, various nations will be annihilated…”[2]

Well, what do you think?  Has the world taken her warning to heart?  Have people become more religious, more devout?  Or even more law-abiding?

On the contrary.  Because Rome did not heed Our Lady’s admonition, many of these things have come to pass.  The civilized world is suffering because Russia continues to spread her errors, causing widespread chaos.  We have a bad pope who also is head of the anti-Catholic conciliar church; (thus, we don’t expect him to consecrate Russia,[3] despite the occasional attempts at consecration that various (so-called) bishops have tried.  (Note: Our Lady specified that the consecration must be done universally, by the pope and all the bishops at the same time.) 

Worldwide, there are currently two major wars and many smaller conflicts.  The number of vocations and people attending church are greatly decreased.  Although in most or all places in the world, faithful and informed Catholics have nowhere to attend Mass because they have no access to an uncompromising priest, this is not the reason for greatly decreased church attendance throughout the Western World.  Instead, church attendance is way down because people ignore God, not because they shun compromising priests.

Public immorality is rampant.  Satan worship is on the rise.  Abortion is considered a “right” (by some tortured use of the word).  Birth control is a matter of convenience.  Hundreds of thousands (some say, millions) of vulnerable children have been brainwashed into believing they are not who they thought they were and are in need of ongoing surgeries and unending “treatments.”  (The implication is that “God made a mistake.”) 

We are edging toward complete lawlessness, as demonstrated by the following:

ü  Moves to defund the police;

ü  No cash bail for criminals (i.e., so they are free to commit more crimes until their trials come up – if they’re still around);

 

ü  Smash and grabs thefts from stores are increasingly common, and in many cities (e.g., San Francisco) the police ignore the thefts unless the value of the goods stolen is over $1,000;

ü  Arson and rioting are accepted and tolerated; and

ü  Blatant corruption is in the highest levels of government.

The goal of this Marxist push is to make citizens feel so unsafe that they will demand that the government should implement a police state, as happened in the Communist takeover of Russia during the Bolshevik (Communist) Revolution of 1917. 

The governments throughout the Western World will continue with their insane upside-down policies and attack anyone pushing back against them.  One example of the increasing U.S. police state is the leftists weaponizing the FBI – as happened in Virginia recently when the FBI placed “spies” in more conservative “Latin Mass” churches, until a whistleblower disclosed this fact publicly, after which this spying was supposedly stopped and the FBI policy memo was quietly withdrawn.  

Unfortunately, most people have a very obscured understanding of the difference between right and wrong, between the true and the false, and between good and evil.  Such people (and their parents and their children) have been “educated” in an educational system which, for the past 70 years, has been predominantly left-wing.

The planned convulsions in society, the riots, the attacks on the family, and the full-tilt assaults on every aspect of our culture are all direct results of failure to follow Our Lady’s command at Fatima.

Not a rosy picture, is it?  Were it not for realizing that God knows what is going on here in the world He created, it would be panic-time.  As it is, He expects us to keep up the good fight and trust in His love for us.  Thus, our job is to live the Catholic life and hold the Catholic Faith without any compromise.  Let us do this without fear!

In August 2022, Catholic Candle concluded an examination of the striking manner in which the feminists follow the same eight-point program as Satan and Marx, and how feminism is a tool of Satan and the Marxists to corrupt society and the family.  Following up this examination, we now consider a related truth, viz., Our Lady is the opposite of those evils.

The Blessed Virgin Mary is Anti-Satan, Anti-Marx, and Anti-Feminist

Reflecting back on these recent articles, we see that the feminists contrast so strongly with the Blessed Virgin Mary.  Of all human persons, she is most of all God’s masterpiece.  Our Lady, more than any other creature, is Anti-Satan, Anti-Marx and Anti-Feminist.

There are many ways to see that Our Lady is Anti-Satan.  Here, e.g., is God’s prophesy to Satan how Our Lady will uniquely be (and now, is) anti-Satan: 

I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel.[1]

Because feminist leaders, especially, are tools of Satan, they hate the Blessed Virgin Mary.  We would (correctly) expect this before we even knew this to be true, simply based on the fact that there is complete enmity between Our Lady and the leader of the feminists, viz., Satan. 

The Blessed Virgin is the Perfect Virgin and Perfect Mother.  Feminists hate her precisely for both of these perfections.  She is the perfection of what they hate and oppose.  Even when they don’t mention her, the feminist opposition to what she stands for, is clear.  Here, for example, are the writing restrictions imposed on the writing staff at the flag ship feminist magazine, Cosmopolitan:

Sue Ellen Browder … former employee at Cosmopolitan, said that when she worked at the magazine, she regularly fabricated stories about fictional women known as the Cosmo Girl.  “I could make her into anything I wanted her to be – a doctor, a lawyer, judge, even a high-priced call girl – but there were two things she could not be if she was going to be glamorous, sophisticated and cool: a virgin or a mother.”[2]

At Cosmopolitan, the “Cosmo Girl” could not be a virgin or a mother because feminists wage war on both virginity and motherhood.  Feminists hate Our Lady because she is the perfection of both.

Further, we see feminist hatred, scorn, and contempt heaped upon the Blessed Virgin Mary.  Feminist leaders even occasionally praise another feminist leader explicitly because she is the opposite of Mary.  For example, when feminist actress and celebrity Elizabeth Taylor died in 2011, American feminist academic Camille Paglia heaped praise upon her, including praising her as the anti-Mary.  Here are her greatest praises of Elizabeth Taylor:

She is Babylonian pagan woman – the goddess Ishtar, the anti-Mary!  My sensibility as a culture critic and as a feminist was deeply formed by her.  She was truly transcultural … and with an open sexuality in that puritanical period, it was so daring!  She picked up one man after another.  To me she represented the ultimate power of the sexual woman.”[3]

There are a great many other scornful statements by feminist leaders insulting Our Lady.  For example, here is how religious feminist leader, Mary Daly, disparages our dear Blessed Mother:

Mary is a “pale derivative symbol disguising the conquered Goddess”, a “flaunting of the tamed Goddess”.  Her role as servant in the Incarnation of God amounts to nothing other than a “rape”.[4]

Secular feminist leader, Simone de Beauvoir, called the Blessed Virgin Mary the “supreme victory of masculinity”, implying that somehow, Our Lady is some tool of a war against women, rather than the dear and compassionate Mother of mankind.[5]

It is not without reason the feminists hate the Blessed Virgin Mary.  As summarized below, she is the opposite of the feminists and of their satanic, Marxist program outlined in the Catholic Candle series from February through August, 2022.  For example:

1.   The feminists and feminism are anti-God. 

Our Lady is completely the opposite.  More than anyone else, she is united to God.  She is the daughter of the Eternal Father, the mother of God the Son and the spouse of the Holy Ghost.  She is the one to whom the Angel Gabriel brought God’s greeting that “the Lord is with thee”.  St. Luke’s Gospel, 1:28.

 

Further, as many feminist leaders know, Our Lady is a necessary help to us in order that we devote ourselves to God and to fighting feminism.

2.   The feminists and feminism are revolutionary and are anti-authority. 

Our Lady is completely the opposite.  More than any other creature, she works for the reign of her Divine Son in all things.  She is the Queen of Heaven.  All revolutions are against her and her Divine Son.  All rejection of true authority is against her universal queenship.

Whereas Satan was the first revolutionary, Our Lady is, more than any other creature, the anti-revolutionary.  In the Garden of Eden, Eve joined Satan’s revolution.  The Blessed Virgin Mary is the New Eve who repaired that evil.

So far was she from revolting against God’s order, she was most perfectly the servant (slave girl) of God, calling herself “the handmaid of the Lord”.  St. Luke’s Gospel, 1:29.

Further, as many feminist leaders know, Our Lady is a necessary help to us in order that we are obedient and serve God, including by fighting feminism.

3.   The feminists and feminism seek to divide people. 

Our Lady is completely the opposite.  Mary seeks to unite all men in the unity of the Catholic Church.  She strives that as many people as possible be members of her Son’s one Mystical Body. 

 

Mary is our mother and seeks to unite all of us, as her children.  Mary leads us to the virtues, such as charity, mildness, longsuffering, generosity, etc.  By promoting these virtues, Mary uses these virtues to unite people, and to oppose Satan, Marx, and the feminists, who seek to divide people.

Further, as many feminist leaders know, Our Lady is a necessary help to us in order that we live our lives devoted to true charity toward our neighbor, and to fighting feminism.

 

4.   The feminists and feminism promote discontent, envy, and discord. 

Our Lady is the complete opposite.  She is the Comforter of the Afflicted.  (Litany of Loretto).  She is the Mother Most Amiable.  (Litany of Loretto).

She is the Queen of Peace.  (Litany of Loretto).  She is the mother of the Prince of Peace.  Isaiah, 9:6.

In our times, God wills that peace will come upon the world through the consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

 

Further, as many feminist leaders know, Our Lady is a necessary help to us in order that we live our lives in the peace of God, completely uniformed to God’s Will in all things, and as implacable opponents of feminism.

5.   The feminists and feminism promote hatred. 

Our Lady is the complete opposite.  She is the Mother of Fair Love.  Ecclesiasticus, 24:24.

God wills universal devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary because her heart shows the great tenderness of her love.  In our times, God wills that peace will come upon the world through the consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary (i.e., to her loving heart).

Further, as many feminist leaders know, Our Lady is a necessary help to us in order that we live our lives as examples of, and ambassadors of, charity as well as implacable opponents of feminism.

 

6.   The feminists and feminism are result-oriented and unprincipled, because Satan and Marx neither act according to immutable principles nor encourage their followers to do so. 

Our Lady is the complete opposite.  She is the greatest example of a creature obedient to God.  She is the “handmaid of the Lord”.  She is our model of how to serve God in all things, in the way that pleases Him most.

Mary teaches us all of the virtues and how to live according to the principles of virtue.

Further, as many feminist leaders know, Our Lady is a necessary help to us in order that we direct our lives according to the principles of the Catholic Faith and, including the imperative of being untiring enemies of feminism.

 

 

7.   The feminists and feminism are full of lies. 

Our Lady is the complete opposite.  Our Lady’s Son is the Eternal Truth. 

In Our Lady, “is all grace of the way and of the truth”.   Ecclesiasticus, 24:24. 

She explains that she has labored “for all that seek out the truth.”  Ecclesiasticus, 24:47.

 

Further, as many feminist leaders know, Our Lady is a necessary help to us in order that we live our lives thirsting for the truth and abiding always in the Truth, and fighting the lies of feminism.

 

8.   The feminists and feminism are anti-Natural Law. 

Our Lady is the complete opposite.  Our Lady loves and promotes the Natural Law because it was created by her Son and is a necessary help to salvation.

Purity is part of the Natural Law, in which reason tells us that we should live and act so as to shun the moral defilements which are so shamelessly promoted by Satan, Marxists, and the feminists.  Our Lady is the Mother Most Pure and Mother Most Chaste, Mother Inviolate, and the Mother Undefiled.  (Litany of Loretto). 

 

The family is the necessary building block of the Church and society, according to the Natural Law.  Our Lady gave us the perfect example of a wife and mother, in the Holy Family.  She perfectly fulfills the Natural Law.

 

Satan, Marxists, and the feminists hate and seek to destroy marriage.  Our Lady had the perfect marriage and is the model of all wives, fulfilling the Natural Law in every way.

 

These examples are only a beginning.  The list is “endless” of the ways in which Our Lady practiced the Natural Law and gave us the perfect example of adherence to the Natural Law.

 

Further, as many feminist leaders know, Our Lady is a necessary help to us in order that we live our lives in complete conformity with the Natural Law and defend it against feminism.

Conclusion:

Our life on earth is a warfare.  We are in the Church Militant!  We are not in the service of Satan.  There is no middle ground.  Are we adopted children of Mary or have we adopted feminism?

We must choose sides!  Are we on God’s side or are we on Satan’s side?

In this time in which God’s enemies are all around us, we must cling closely to our dear Mother Mary, the Anti-Satan, the Anti-Marx, and the Anti-Feminist!

Catholic Candle note:

In February 2022, Catholic Candle began a multi-part examination of how the feminists follow the same program as Satan and Marx.  This article is entitled The Feminist Program is the same as that of Satan and Marx. 

Part 1 analyzes Satan’s program and begins to analyze how Marx has the same program.  Part 1 can be found here: https://catholiccandle.org/2022/02/24/the-feminist-program-is-the-same-as-that-of-satan-and-marx/.

As shown in those first two parts of this article, Satan’s and Marx’s eight-point program:

1.    Is anti-God (and anti-worship of God);

2.    Promotes disobedience and opposition to the authority ordained by God;

3.    Seeks to divide people;

 

4.    Promotes discontent, envy, and discord;

 

5.    Promotes hatred;

 

6.    Is result-oriented and self-interested; Satan neither acts according to immutable principles nor encourages his followers to do so;

 

7.    Is full of lies; and

 

8.    Is against Nature and is anti-Natural Law.

Part 3 begins the study of modern feminism and feminist leaders to see how they follow this same satanic and Marxist program.  Part 3 shows how feminism and feminist leaders are anti-God and anti-worship of God.  This article can be found here: https://catholiccandle.org/2022/04/20/the-feminist-program-is-the-same-as-that-of-satan-and-marx-part-iii/.

 

Part 4 covers three additional aspects of how the feminist leaders and feminist principles follow Satan’s and Marx’s program:

Part 7:

The Feminist Program is the same as that of Satan and Marx

(Continuing where we left off last month)

This month, we cover the last aspect of the feminist program, which is also the eighth element of the eight-point program of Satan and the Marxists:

➢ The feminists are anti-Natural Law

 

The feminist leaders seek destruction of the family.

The family is an institution of the Natural Law.  The family is the foundation of the Catholic Church as the chief source of bringing into the Church new Catholics and transmitting the true Faith and true Morality from one generation to the next.  The family is also the foundation of a good civil society, handing down to the next generation learning, discipline, morality, and culture.

For these reasons (as we saw in earlier parts of this article), Satan and Marxists hate the family.  Similarly, the feminists hate the family.

For example, secular feminist leader, Kate Millett, made it a routine part of the opening of her “women’s empowerment” meetings that they mention their goal of destroying the family.  Here is part of the chant she used to open these meetings:

“Why are we here today?” she asked.
“To make revolution,” they answered.
“What kind of revolution?” she replied.
“The Cultural Revolution,” they chanted.
“And how do we make Cultural Revolution?” she demanded.
“By destroying the American family!” they answered.[1]

Similarly, here is how secular feminist leader, Linda Gordon, declared war on the family:

The nuclear family[2] must be destroyed ….  Whatever its ultimate meaning, the break-up of families now is an objectively revolutionary process.[3]

The feminist leaders promise the destruction of the state (which is an institution belonging to the Natural Law), when they succeed in destroying the family.

All authority comes from God.  The state as such, is an institution which is part of the Natural Law.  God intends that there be a state because He created man as a political animal.[4]  The state, like the Catholic Church, is necessary to complete and to aid the work of the family in achieving its own ends.[5]

It is striking how the feminist leaders even use the same expressions as the Marxists (thereby signaling the affinity between them).  The Marxists/communists promise the withering away of the state when their enemy (the bourgeois class) is destroyed.  Similarly, the feminists promise the withering away of the state when the feminists’ enemy (the patriarchal family) is destroyed. 

For example, here is one way Vladimir Lenin phrased this claim:

The state withers away insofar as there are no longer any capitalists, any classes, and, consequently, no class can be suppressed.

But the state has not yet completely withered away, since there still remains the safeguarding of “bourgeois law”, which sanctifies [sic!] actual inequality.  For the state to wither away completely, complete communism is necessary.[6]

Using this same Marxist phrasing, secular feminist leader, Germaine Greer, asserted that, after they destroy the enemy (the “patriarchal family”), the state will wither away into a Marxist paradise.  Here are her words:

Women’s liberation, if it abolishes the patriarchal family, will abolish a necessary substructure of the authoritarian state, and once that withers away Marx will have come true willy-nilly, so let’s get on with it.[7]

Again, notice that both the feminists and the Marxists (falsely) promise the end of the state (which is part of the Natural Law) after they destroy their enemy.

The feminist leaders seek destruction of marriage.

Marriage is part of the Natural Law[8] and faithful marriages are necessary for good and stable families.  Thus, the feminist leaders hate marriage.

For example, here is how secular feminist, Sheila Cronin, declared war on marriage:

Since marriage constitutes slavery for women, it is clear that the women’s movement must concentrate on attacking this institution.  Freedom for women cannot be won without the abolition of marriage.[9]

The feminist leaders seek destruction of women’s God-given maternal instincts and seek to foster in women a hostility (or at least indifference) to babies and children.

God put in women a maternal instinct to love and cherish babies and children.  This instinct is in women to help them fulfill well the great work of their lives, which is the raising of children to become well-adjusted and virtuous adults.[10]

Because feminism seeks to destroy families and marriage, obviously feminists want to entirely root out a woman’s natural inclination to love and cherish babies and children.  Here is how one secular feminist leader declared her own anti-maternal instincts:

I don’t particularly like babies. They are loud and smelly and, above all other things, demanding . . . time-sucking monsters with their constant neediness ….  Nothing will make me want a baby ….[11]

To effectively root out a woman’s natural maternal instincts and to make her a career woman, the feminist leaders strongly promote a woman murdering her unborn babies.

The extreme opposite of a woman’s natural maternal instinct is for her to murder her own babies.  This further makes a woman more like Satan, who “was a murderer from the beginning.”[12]  When a woman murders her innocent baby at the beginning of his life, she is like Satan and is, in her own way, “a murderer from the beginning”.

Marxists so strongly promote abortion that, in 1920, Communist Russia was the first country in the world to legalize abortion.[13]   Communist Russia offered abortion for free.  Id.

Communist China is the abortion capital of the of the world, with more than 400 million abortions in the forty years beginning in 1971.[14]   China’s murderous assault on innocent babies continues unabated.  Communist China’s murder of its babies is currently at a rate of more than nine million per year.[15]

As horrific as it is for a man to murder a baby, it is even more unnatural for a mother to murder her own baby.  Feminists strongly promote killing not only male babies but also female babies – showing that feminists are lying when they say that they are concerned about protecting women and girls.  In fact, feminists do not object to sex-selection abortions, which disproportionately murder baby girls.[16]

Feminists seek to destroy virtue, especially purity – and especially in women.

Vice – especially impurity – weakens a person’s will and opens wide the door of the soul to a life of further sins of all types.  As we saw earlier, Satan and Marx focused many efforts on corrupting people, especially women.  This is plainly because women are truly guardians of society through their selfless vigilance for the good of their families.  Here is one way Pope Pius XI explained this truth:

Neither this emancipation of the woman is real, nor is it the reasonable and worthy liberty convenient to the Christian and noble mission of the woman and wife.  It is the corruption of the feminine nature and maternal dignity, as well as the perversion of all the family, since the husband lacks his wife, the children their mother, and the entire family her vigilant guard.

 

Pope Pius XI, Casti connubii, #75 (emphasis added).

Following Satan’s and Marx’s program, feminists urge everyone, but especially women, to promiscuously follow any urges of their basest appetites.[17]

Secular feminist leader, Kate Millett, included this focus on promoting impurity, in the chants opening their feminist meetings:

“And how do we make Cultural Revolution?” she demanded.
“By destroying the American family!” they answered.
“How do we destroy the family?” she came back.
“By destroying the American Patriarch,” they cried exuberantly.
“And how do we destroy the American Patriarch?” she replied.
“By taking away his power!”
“How do we do that?”
“By destroying monogamy!” they shouted.
“How can we destroy monogamy?” …
“By promoting promiscuity, eroticism, prostitution and homosexuality!” they resounded.[18]

Because feminists are tools of Satan and of the Marxists and because they are not really advocates for women, the feminists also promote and support deluded men who insist they are women (i.e., so-called “transgenderism”).[19]

There are so many other ways in which feminists follow Satan and Marx by being against Nature and the Natural Law.  But these examples suffice to show that truth.

Conclusion of this Entire Article

All feminists are against Nature and are anti-Natural Law.  As shown in earlier parts of this article, the feminists follow Satan’s and the Marxists’ entire evil program.  Thus, all faithful and informed Catholics (and all others who use their intellects as they should) are compelled to conclude that there is no version of feminism that can be reconciled with the Truth and the Good. 

There is no good feminism; there is no Biblical feminism; there is no Catholic feminism; there is no “good” feminism.  Feminism is inherently evil because it deliberately contradicts Divine revelation and the Natural Law. 

There can be naïve feminists who are so confused that, perhaps, they are not culpable for the evil in which they participate.  This is like, perhaps, there are naïve and confused Marxists or freemasons.  God will judge their interior, subjective culpability.  However, on the objective level – the level on which we Catholics and all people using their reason – must judge, their work is evil, is anti-God, and promotes Satan.  Let us fight feminism in all of its manifestations!

Part 6:

The Feminist Program is the same as that of Satan and Marx

(Continuing where we left off last month)

This month, we cover the second-last aspect of the feminist program, which is also the seventh element of the eight-point program of Satan and the Marxists:

 

Modern feminist leaders are full of lies.

A thinking person would expect ahead of time, that modern feminist leaders would be liars because they follow the program of Satan, who is the father of lies.

One testimony of this is from the sister of secular feminist leader, Kate Millett, who described Kate and her fellow feminist leaders as “so full of lies” and deception.  Here are the words of Kate’s sister:

Without a doubt, over time, once she [viz., Kate] became enmeshed in the larger group of leftist activists around the world, her madness, buoyed by their lunacy, became even greater and more impossible to penetrate. Their groupthink is so dense, so full of lies, the vocabulary is so deceptive and intricately designed to brainwash, that just to witness it and their interactions from a distance is beyond alarming.  After we buried our mother, I never spoke with Kate again, as I’d finally come to accept that there is no honest communication with this mental illness that is today’s liberalism.[1]

Another example is the lying of Betty Friedan, who is a career-long, well-known liar, as well as “America’s premier feminist” (as she is called).  Here is how David Horowitz expressed it:

Betty Friedan … always presented herself as a typical suburban housewife; until she began work on her groundbreaking book [“The Feminist Mystique”]; she was in fact nothing of the kind.  In fact, under her maiden name, Betty Goldstein, she was a political activist and professional propagandist for the Communist left for a quarter of a century before the publication of “The Feminist Mystique” launched the modern women’s movement.

Professor Horowitz[2] documents that Friedan was from her college days, and until her mid-30s, a Stalinist Marxist, the political intimate of the leaders of America’s Cold War fifth column and for a time even the lover of a young Communist physicist working on atomic bomb projects in Berkeley’s radiation lab with J. Robert Oppenheimer. …

It is fascinating that Friedan not only felt the need to lie about her real views and life experience then, but still feels the need to lie about them now.  …

So why the continuing lies?  The reason is this: The truth is too embarrassing.  Imagine what it would be like for Betty Friedan (the name actually is Friedman) to admit that as a Jew she opposed America’s entry into the war against Hitler because Stalin told her that it was just an inter-imperialist fracas?  Imagine what it would be like for America’s premier feminist to acknowledge that well into her 30s she thought Stalin was the Father of the Peoples, and that the United States was an evil empire, and that her interest in women’s liberation was just a subtext of her real desire to create a Soviet America.[3]

Like Satan and Marx, we see feminist leaders are prone to be liars.  They:

➢  Are liars, saying that goddesses should be acknowledged as existing because it is necessary to say this to achieve feminist goals.[4]

 

➢  Are liars, saying that the life of a harlot is good and “empowering” for women if they choose that life.

 

➢  Are liars, saying that they don’t know what a woman is, as did feminist/leftist Ketanji Brown on March 23, 2022, during her senate confirmation hearing as a Supreme Court nominee.

 

➢  Are liars, saying that a woman needs to avoid being sensitive and should “toughen up” to compete in the world.

➢  Are liars, saying that women should wear whatever they want to wear (i.e., no matter how immodest or impure) and they are not responsible for any bad thoughts of men and are not inviting any bad conduct of men who see them.

➢  Are liars, saying that separating the marital act from its chief purpose, having children, will help women.

➢  Are liars, saying that the feminist movement is in the best interests of women.

➢  Are liars, saying that the aim of feminism is to give women more choices.[5]

➢  Are liars, saying that a woman should try to suppress her womanly, tender, and loving heart because having such a heart is a weakness.

➢  Are liars, saying that the feminist revolution will result in a better society.

➢  Are liars, saying that women are unhappy because feminism has not fully triumphed in society.

➢  Are liars, saying that divorce empowers women.

➢  Are liars, saying that obesity is just another kind of beauty.  Feminists decry ‘body shaming” and say that men oppress women and pressure them into being slim.  (The truth is that temperance is a virtue and overindulgence is a vice in both men and women.)

➢  Are liars, saying that men treat women unfairly by not treating women as if they were “just as good as men” at men’s work.

➢  Are liars, saying that motherhood should be a secondary concern for women and should not be allowed to get in the way of a woman’s career in the workplace.

➢  Are liars, saying that men and women are equally good at fulfilling men’s roles and men’s jobs.  Sometimes the feminists claim that women are better at those roles and jobs.  (One example is the feminist lie that if all nations were ruled by women things would be much better and there would be great international harmony and no wars.)

➢  Are liars, saying that women have no complementary role in society and in the human race but should simply compete with men in the male sphere.

➢  Are liars, saying that woman’s natural traits, e.g., sympathy, softness, nurturing, comforting, conciliation, dependence on and leaning on their husbands, are silly, unworthy, and should be squelched.

➢  Are liars, saying that women should fight against the feminine piety to which nature disposes them.

➢  Are liars, saying that women have no duty to obey and to be submissive to their husbands.[6]

➢  Are liars, saying that the family is not a natural institution but is a construct invented by men to oppress women.[7]

➢  Are liars, saying that fatherhood, i.e., patriarchy, is evil.

➢  Are liars, saying that women need emancipation because they are slaves.[8]

➢  Are liars, saying that women are victims of men.

 

➢  Are liars, saying that men are terrorists.[9]

➢  Are liars, saying that feminism makes a woman powerful.

➢  Are liars, saying that a woman can “have it all”, i.e., both excelling in a man’s role and job as well as having a family life if they want it.

➢  Are liars, saying that with sufficient efforts, a woman can compete with men in the career world just as well as a man.

➢  Are liars, saying that men hate women.

➢  Are liars, saying that women should be aggressive.

➢  Are liars, saying that woman should harbor violent thoughts, especially toward men.[10]

➢  Are liars, saying that children are an obstacle to women’s happiness.

➢  Are liars, saying that an unborn baby is merely a “clump of cells”.

➢  Are liars, saying that an unborn baby is part of a woman’s body.

➢  Are liars, saying that a mother murdering her unborn child is “health care” for her.

➢  Are liars, saying that a mother murdering her unborn child is safe.

➢  Are liars, saying that justice requires that everyone should always “believe women” if they allege improper conduct committed against them by a man.

➢  Are liars, saying that daycare is as good or better for children than for those children being home with their mother.

➢  Are liars, saying that women should hate men.

➢  Are liars, saying that it can be good for a woman to be promiscuous.[11]

➢  Are liars, saying that men oppress women.

➢  Are liars, saying that a woman should be career-focused and this will give her a fulfilling life.

➢  Are liars, saying that feminism makes women into goddesses.[12]

➢  Are liars, saying that men, as a group, are worthy of hatred.

➢  Are liars, saying that feminism will bring women peace, contentment, and security.

➢  Are liars, saying that femininity is weak and shameful.

➢  Are liars, saying that it is shameful for a woman to be dependent on her husband.

➢  Are liars, saying that women should compete with men, not be complementary to them.

➢  Are liars, saying that if men were softer, more emotional, more sensitive, and more like women, then women would respect and admire them more.  The truth is that when men take on feminine characteristics, they’re just wimpy and unmasculine.  God made men to be leaders, courageous, strong, and protective.

➢  Are liars, saying that Traditional Catholicism (and also those false “Christian” sects which bear some similarity to Catholicism) is a big obstacle to fair treatment and happiness for women.

➢  Are liars, saying that gender should be eliminated or ignored.[13]

➢  Are liars, saying that men and women should not have any different roles in life.[14]

➢  Are liars, saying that women should not allow a family to get in the way of having a “meaningful” and “fulfilling” life.

➢  Are liars, saying that women should focus on themselves and their own career advancement.

➢  Are liars, saying that women should be self-sufficient and independent.

➢  Are liars, saying that the many differences between men and women are all due to society forcing them into different “gender roles” when they were young.  The truth is that men tend to be more goal-oriented and competitive.  By contrast, women are more relational and cooperative.  God placed those characteristics into the sexes to assist them in the roles and work God planned for them.

➢  Are liars, saying that the more a woman achieves in a career, the more attractive and desirable she becomes to men.  The truth is that career accomplishments are not what a good and manly man looks for in a wife.  He seeks a woman’s unique feminine attributes: love, sensitivity, giving, attention to detail, her abilities to relate to him, etc.

➢  Are liars, saying that women should postpone marriage and children to focus on their careers.  The truth is that a woman “shall be saved through childbearing; if she continues in faith, and love, and sanctification, with sobriety.”  1 Timothy, 2:15.

➢  Are liars, saying that femininity, sweetness, kindness, and softness are weaknesses and that women need to be firm, aggressive, and competitive.

➢  Are liars, saying that women don’t need men.  This is the message in the feminist slogan, promoted by secular feminist Gloria Steinem, “A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle.”  The truth is that God made men and women complementary and both sexes need the other.  But feminists lie, saying that women are self-sufficient. 

➢  Are liars, saying that they want “diversity” but when feminists (and other leftists) are in charge, they are rigidly exclusionary – of men, of homemakers, of traditionalists, of conservatives, etc.

 

Conclusion

Any thinking person sees that feminist leaders and feminism are tools of the father of lies, Satan.  Not only the feminists, but also the Marxists, the mainstream media and almost all public sources of information promote lies.  We seem to be in that time predicted by St. Paul:

There shall be a time, when they will not endure sound doctrine; but, according to their own desires, they will heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears: And will indeed turn away their hearing from the truth, but will be turned unto fables.

2 Timothy, 4:3-4 (emphasis added).

This is a reminder that we must not only fight feminism (and the other evils) but also must be entirely devoted to the truth!  The truth is such a great blessing and it will be taken from us if we do not appreciate it enough and devote our life to it!  We must be on our guard because we too will be deceived if we are not selfless in our devotion to the truth.

Let us value nothing as much as the truth!

Catholic Candle note:

In February 2022, Catholic Candle began a multi-part examination of how the feminists follow the same program as Satan and Marx.  This article is entitled The Feminist Program is the same as that of Satan and Marx. 

Part 1 analyzes Satan’s program and begins to analyze how Marx has the same program.  Part 1 can be found here: https://catholiccandle.org/2022/02/24/the-feminist-program-is-the-same-as-that-of-satan-and-marx/. 

Part 2 completes the analysis showing how Marx’s program is the same as Satan’s program.  Part 2 can be found here: https://catholiccandle.org/2022/03/27/the-feminist-program-is-the-same-as-that-of-satan-and-marx-part-ii/.  

As shown in those first two parts of this article, Satan’s and Marx’s eight-point program:

1.    Is anti-God (and anti-worship of God);

2.    Promotes disobedience and opposition to the authority ordained by God;

3.    Seeks to divide people;

 

4.    Promotes discontent, envy, and discord;

 

5.    Promotes hatred;

 

6.    Is result-oriented and self-interested; Satan neither acts according to immutable principles nor encourages his followers to do so;

 

7.    Is full of lies; and

 

8.    Is against Nature and is anti-Natural Law.

Part 3 begins the study of modern feminism and feminist leaders to see how they follow this same satanic and Marxist program.  Part 3 shows how feminism and feminist leaders are anti-God and anti-worship of God.  This article can be found here: https://catholiccandle.org/2022/04/20/the-feminist-program-is-the-same-as-that-of-satan-and-marx-part-iii/.

 

Part 4 covers three additional aspects of how the feminist leaders and feminist principles follow Satan’s and Marx’s program:

A.   They promote disobedience, revolt, and opposition to the authority ordained by God;

B.   They seek to divide people; and

C.   They promote discontent, envy, and discord.

Part 4 of this article can be found here: https://catholiccandle.org/2022/05/27/the-feminist-program-is-the-same-as-that-of-satan-and-marx-2/

 

Part 5:

(Continuing where we left off last month)

This month, we cover two aspects of the feminist program:

1.    Modern feminism promotes the program of Satan and Marx by promoting hatred; and

 

2.    Feminist leaders are result-oriented and unprincipled just like Satan and Marx.

 

1.   Modern feminism and feminist leaders promote hatred.

Since Satan is full of extreme hatred and Marx called himself “the greatest hater of the so-called positive”[1], we know that all of Satan’s and Marx’s works are imbued with their hatred, too.  This is one reason why it is immediately plain to persons with greater discernment that feminism is a work of Satan – because it is imbued with a share of Satan’s hatred. 

When Catholic journalist, Mrs. Donna Steichen, attended many so-called “women’s empowerment” conferences, the satanic hatred at those feminist gatherings struck her so strongly that she called her book-length report, Ungodly Rage.[2] 

Whereas God made women to be the hearts of their homes, by contrast, the feminism on display at these conferences showed how completely Satan has twisted those women so that Mrs. Steichen said those women showed “feminism’s anti-feminine heart”.[3]  Satan and feminism turned these women and their movement into vehicles of rage and hatred.

Most feminist leaders do not declare that they hate men.  This would tend to be bad “public relations” for the feminist movement.  However, some feminist leaders are very candid about their hatred of men.  For example, secular feminist leader, Robin Morgan, Editor of Ms. Magazine, counted hating men as a virtue.  Here are her words:

I feel that ‘man-hating’ is an honorable and viable political act, that the oppressed have a right to class-hatred against the class that is oppressing them.[4]

Similarly secular feminist leader, Marilyn French said:

You think I hate men.  I guess I do ….   I think that men are rotten and women are great.[5]

Hatred is wanting evil for another person, especially his ultimate evil.  We see that Satan’s hatred causes him to especially want the greatest evil for people, viz., their eternal damnation. 

Among feminist leaders who don’t use the word “hate” with regard to men, you see their hatred in the evil they wish for men.  For example, secular feminist leader, Andrea Dworkin, showed her hatred for men in these words:

I want to see a man beaten to a bloody pulp with a high-heel shoved in his mouth, like an apple in the mouth of a pig.[6]

Other feminist leaders express their hatred for men more generally, wishing evil for men as a group.  Here is how secular feminist leader, Sally Miller Gearhart, expressed her hatred for men, in her essay entitled, The Future – If There Is One – Is Female:

The proportion of men must be reduced to and maintained at approximately 10% of the human race.[7]

Similarly, secular feminist leader, Kate Millett, routinely opened her “women’s empowerment” meetings by declaring that their goal is to destroy men, i.e., to destroy “the American patriarch”.[8]

Here is how feminist leader, Robin Morgan, urged women to commit patricide:

Sexism is not the fault of women – kill your fathers, not your mothers.[9]

The hatred which is inseparable from feminist principles is not reserved for men alone.  Feminist leaders also sometimes attack conservative women viciously.  For example, one feminist called conservative women “white nationalist racist gender traitors.”[10]  Like Satan’s hatred, feminist hatred can target women as well as men.

Feminist leaders also incite women to hate men by promoting the idea that men hate them.  For example, secular feminist leader, Germaine Greer, declared:

Women fail to understand how much men hate them.  …  All men hate some women some of the time and some men hate all women all of the time.[11]

Greer also told women that no man exists who is free from hating women.  Here are her words:

The man is not born who will not hate some woman on some occasion.  Odds on, it will be the woman with the greatest claim on his love.[12]

Feminist principles also try to root out the maternal love God put into women by trying to convince them that, however their sons might appear good and loving, there is male treachery in all of them which they should fear and hate.  Here is how feminist Andrea Dworkin stated it:

Under patriarchy, every woman’s son is her potential betrayer and also the inevitable rapist or exploiter of another woman.[13]

What we are showing in this section, is that feminism and feminist leaders follow their founders, Satan and Marx, in promoting hatred.  Of course, just as there are naïve Masons who simply view Freemasonry as an aid to career advancement or as a way to be accepted in a particular social circle, without understanding the deep evil of Freemasonry, likewise, there are naïve feminists that don’t look deep enough to understand the magnitude of the evil that is integral to feminism. 

But this does not take away from the fact that feminism is fundamentally the devil’s work.  We must fight feminism!  One element of this fight is to love God with all our hearts and to honor, love, and treat women as God wants us to do – not with Satan’s false “luv” for them and an unnatural pretense of equality (as opposed to the true, natural complementariness of the sexes).

 

2.   Feminist leaders are result-oriented and unprincipled (just like Satan and Marx are) because they neither act according to immutable principles nor encourage their followers to do so.

Feminist leaders are unprincipled, like Marx and Satan.  They are committed to their (evil) goals and so, to accomplish these goals, they say and do whatever they can to achieve them.  They are devoid of firm, overarching principles that regulate the choice of which means they can and should use to achieve their goals.  Instead, feminist leaders use any means which they think will be effective.

For example, feminists follow Marx in his goal of pushing all women out of their homes and into the workforce.  Thus, feminist leaders see the “need” to prevent children from coming into existence because children would be an obstacle to a woman’s career.  This is because caring for children would make her unable to be a fully-independent worker – which is a feminist and Marxist goal.  Thus, pursuing this goal, feminists tirelessly promote methods to frustrate fecundity and the Natural and Divine Laws in order to prevent children from being such “obstacles”. 

Thus, feminists promote contraception as safe and good because it furthers this feminist-Marxist goal (viz., moving all women into the workforce), as well as some of their other evil goals, too.  Of course, contraception is always evil, and sometimes kills a baby who has already been conceived.  Further, contraception is always harmful to the mother physically, spiritually, and socially – harming her relationship with her husband as well as harming society more generally.

For the same reason, feminists also promote the cold-blooded, deliberate murder of innocent babies in abortion.  Thus, they also promote the lie that a mother murdering her baby is “health care” for the mother and that such murder is “safe”, although it is fatal for the baby, is sometimes fatal to the mother and is always harmful – physically, spiritually, and socially – harming her relationship with her husband as well as harming society more generally.

But because such evils promote feminist goals, feminists vociferously insist that an unborn baby is not a human being but only a “clump of cells”.  This feminist assertion is so obviously false that no one really believes it – not even the feminists.  To take two reasons, among many others:

1.    The baby has a different genetic code than the mother so obviously is not part of the mother’s body. 

 

2.    Further, the baby has his own head, hands, feet, and the rest of the body.  When the feminists lie by saying that this baby is simply the mother’s tissue, this absurdly means that she has two heads, four hands, and four feet. 

Although everyone, including the feminists, know the baby is a separate human being, they insist otherwise because they are unprincipled and take whatever position serves their goals.

Although the feminists want to promote the Marxist goal of getting (and keeping) all women in the workforce, nonetheless, these feminist leaders know that the strong maternal instinct which God put into women will cause many of them to have some children.  Therefore, the feminists devise strategies to get the women back in the workforce as quickly as possible after the children’s births.  For example, the feminists (and Marxists) ensure that women can foist-off the responsibilities of motherhood onto other independent workers whose job it is to feed and babysit those children, i.e., daycare. 

Although common sense and the maternal instinct make it clear that daycare is greatly inferior to a loving mother’s care of her own children, the feminists disregard this principle and say and do whatever is expedient to accomplish their goal of removing mothers from their homes.  They declare that daycare is better for children (or at least not worse) than a woman fulfilling her God-given role as a nurturing, loving mother.[14]

A further example is that the feminists profess (falsely) that they are seeking the best-interests of (and the advantages of) women.  But the feminist leaders are really promoting Marxist principles which are ruthlessly anti-woman.  That is why the feminists viciously attack conservative women whenever it is expedient because feminist leaders attack whoever and whatever stands in the way of their (Marxist) agenda.

Another example of unprincipled feminist leaders is their promotion of the idea that if women allege that they were mistreated by men, then everyone should “believe women”.  This is such a stupid position that no one really believes it.  It is merely unprincipled feminist expediency.  When conservative Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh was accused by a woman (Christine Blasey Ford), President Joe Biden declared to the media that we must “believe women”.  But when Biden himself was accused by a different woman (Tara Reade), he told the media she was lying and not to believe her.  Biden (who continually promotes Marxism and feminism) never really thought we should always “believe women” over men.  Nor, does anyone else really believe that.  This “believe women” nonsense is merely leftist politics using any method whatever to achieve Marxist and feminist goals.  Biden merely said we should always “believe women” because this was expedient while trying to derail Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court. 

Michelle Malkin summed up this truth well, in these sensible words:

Let me repeat the themes of my work in this area for the past two years to counter the “Believe Women” baloney:

The role of the press should be verification, not validation.

Rape is a devastating crime.  So is lying about it.

It’s not victim-blaming to get to the bottom of the truth.  It’s liar-shaming.

Don’t believe a gender.  Believe evidence.[15]

Summary

Satan, Marx and the feminist leaders are devoted to their goals and are unprincipled enough that they are willing to employ any means – however perverse – to achieve those goals.  In this, Satan, Marx, and the modern feminists are completely different from Catholics and from anyone living the life of reason and virtue. 

A good man knows that he cannot simply use any expedient means to achieve his end.  A Catholic and anyone trying to lead a virtuous life knows that both his means and his end must be good, otherwise his action is evil.[16] 

So, we see that feminist leaders are unprincipled and follow Marx (and Satan) by taking whatever means they think will accomplish the (evil) goal they seek to achieve.
