GOSPEL ACCORDING TO WOMAN

The excellent The Gospel According to Woman [Karen Armstrong, Pan Books, London, 1987] shows how Christianity especially Catholicism has hated women. How could the male saints of such a faith be real saints? How could the women saints be real saints when they suffered in promotion of Catholicism and its diabolical sexist god. How could their miracles be considered divine?  How could a faith be credible when it has had century after century of women endangering rulers and teachers?  A faith truly authorised by a man who saves us from evil will not have such bad fruit.
 
The book exposes the hatred and uncharitableness that Saints Jerome and Augustine heaped on sexuality and sexual love.
 
St Pelagia starved herself and became unrecognisable through penance and solitude (page 131).
 
St Margaret refused to let her new husband have sex with her and acted as a man (page 132).
 
St Margaret Mary had sadistic erotic visions of Jesus, one of which she had her mouth close to the wound in Jesus’ sacred heart. She tormented her fellow nuns with her bizarre behaviour (page 153-154). She did herself serious harm with her penances (page 187). She wrote that she enjoyed extreme suffering (page 189). Despite the ways she degraded herself it is clear that she was not motivated by humility but by exhibitionism and pride (page 196). Anyone that boasts of their humility is really the most dangerous and neurotic prideful person possible. Jesus’ praise of her in her visions of the sacred heart show that one must be mentally ill and masochistic and sadistic to please him. This is the apparition Catholics invoke in the devotion of the sacred heart that she promoted and this is what is supported by the miracles they report as a result!
 
St Mary Maddelena de Pazzi urged others to beat her up and her prioress obliged in Church and she made the other nuns walk all over her (page 219). She fell into and encouraged herself in dangerous and strange ecstasies.

St Rose of Lima was possibly the most masochistic of the female saints (page 184).
 
St Margaret of Cortona fasted her body like an anorexic. She took a delight when her family died. She wouldn’t look after her son but sent him away because she wanted to pray rather than care for him (page 159-161). Jesus told her in an apparition that because she lost her virginity through sexual sin she must try to get it back by fasting severely (page 160). She reported that Jesus told her that she was to be one of the three main lights of the Franciscan order with St Francis of Assisi and St Clare being the others or so we are told on page 94 of The Incorruptibles). Hardly a gesture of true humility!
 
St Rose, St Mary Maddelena de Pazzi, St Margaret of Cortona, St Margaret Mary are numbered among the saints whose bodies God preserved miraculously to show that their lives were the perfect example of
service!
 
These saints who presented such a bad hypocritical example to the world and encouraged the idea in the Church that extreme suffering and wrecking your health was a wonderful thing were to blame for many deaths and proved to be saints not of God but of anorexia nervosa.

The following two sites show just what a liar Mother Teresa was and her callous heart is laid bare. They show the deceit of Pope John Paul II who was eager to make a saint of her.

This fascinating book reveals shockers such as that the pope has beatified Archbishop Stepinac of Zagreb who stood idly by as Jews and Communists were hounded to their deaths and the notorious fascist Cardinal Schuster of Milan.
