Can God be renamed ask some ‘slightly rebellious’ church, activists
After many repressive centuries of hiding the Sacred Lady (the Great Goddess) and burning Pagan folk and various freethinking heretics for simply daring to mention the feminine within divinity, parts of the self-righteous ecclesiastical fundamentalist system seem to wish to grow a little, in a real spiritual sense
This Catholic article appears to be largely hinged on reactions regarding Child abuse committed on a massive scale by the priesthood. Here is the link: https://www.uscatholic.org/articles/201812/should-we-change-our-pronouns-god-31568
This is the title of the Catholic article and its subheading
‘Should we change our pronouns for God?’
‘To stop the insidious abuse of power within the church, we have to stop exclusively calling God ‘him.’’
Ok, the following is my cut of this issue in brief…
Naturally, a few more unorthodox thinkers calling for new ways to name their ‘God’ will be treated as eccentrics or even extremists by the leading ‘male – only’ Catholic hierarchy.
Perhaps they should have listened to ancient Pagan balance concepts (God and Goddess /Male and Female harmony within all things) instead of being so pig-headed in selling their lob-sided one god cultism to the world.
Of course, human nature will always return to the source, to its real spiritual origins of balance, no matter how hard the Church mind-control machine has sought to repress the global populace, via the Jesus myth.
The Goddess is popular to all ancient pre-Christian cultures because early man saw that balance in all things and on all levels was vital.
Our ancient ancestors anthropomorphised the forces within nature into understandable godforms and recognised that harmony was essential. Alternatively, The early Church radically changed this organic balance and outlawed any mention of the Goddess from its monotheistic credo. The same thing of course occurred within other forms of one-god fundamentalism, such as Islam.
The ancient Pagan ‘Mother Goddess’ perception was shrewdly transformed by the early patriarchal Church fathers into a Mother ‘of’ God issue that essentially demoted the Great Goddess into a subservient human figure inferior to the god. This crafty fundamentalist ruse simply saw women become second-class citizens behind men.
It would now seem that marginally perturbed female activists within the Church are recognising the transparent inequality within their chosen brand of, male-dominated, Christian fundamentalism and want a big change.
Chances are that this these ‘slightly’ radical monotheistic ladies will, however, be shown the door by the top (male) brass. The Church elite, who always have the final say will (heaven forbid) never tolerate any blasphemous mentions of the great similarities betwixt their Virgin Mary fantasy figure and the far more ancient deities such as Isis, the latter who is a goddess within her own right.
Of course, some Pagans will continue to smile quietly and say… “We told you so.”
Will the slightly naughty church ladies who want to (shock horror) rename their deity (Jesus Christ), ever really get the wider message? Conversely, will they simply buckle under ecclesiastical male-orientated pressure to ‘act properly’ as good Christian females who should know their place, i.e. behind the male untouchable ones who run the Church mind-control system with an iron fist?
The Goddess may have been sleeping calmly in woodlands and mountainside, yet she will never be fully repressed by any conceited patriarchal system that is essentially based on female subjugation.
The Lady shall return but only when humanity is able to fully understand her divine message. In fact, she never went away, regardless of the long-winded monotheistic push to remove her from the minds of humanity...
