Feminism is finally making inroads into the final bastion of patriarchy in the West - the Church. And it is feminism that is the problem, for is feminism at the roots of most of the modern secular values that forms the "new" morality of a large proportion of the population in the West.

At it's heart, feminism is founded on the idea that women and men are identical. This is necessary for it's founding principle of patriarchy to hold sway - if men and women were not identical, then obviously they could well be roles better suited to men or women. But that can not be the case under feminism, for feminism requires that woman must be identical to men, and it is only discrimination by men against woman that has held women back in history. This very idea is so ridiculous that one wonders how it even became so widely accepted. The fact that men and women are different is obvious to anyone who has ever looked at or interacted with a man and a woman, which is everyone on the planet. But propaganda and emotional manipulation are powerful forces.

Feminism is the root of the trans-agenda (if men and women are identical, why can't they be interchangeable?). Feminism is the root of advocacy for abortion (in the name of "women's rights"). Feminism is the root of the single motherhood (men are nothing more than sperm donors). Feminism is the root of break up of families and unfair divorce laws (families represent the atomic units of patriarchy). Feminism is the root of why fertility rates are so low in many countries (motherhood is second fiddle to a women playing the role of a man and having a "career", as if careerism at the expense of other things in life was ever a virtue, even in men).

The Church has been through dark times before but the current crisis, in my mind, is largely to do with us, God's people. For as Archbishop Viganò said:

On the other hand, those who serve Satan are also ready to serve the Antichrist as king and to recognize his kingdom, of which the New World Order is an ominous prelude. But isn’t that ultimately what we do every time we disobey God?

Men have been so beaten down by feminism and attacks on their value they cannot see how they are contributing to all this by disobeying God themselves. But it's too hard they might say. "I much rather sit at home and play computer games and wank to porn. I much rather post pointless comments on an internet forum about how the pope is an "antipope" and whine all day. After all, I can't change anything by myself, I don't have enough power to do so."

But, the ingenuity of that simple point by Cardinal Viganò as apparent as soon as one turns it around. The way to fight against the evil in the world isn't by becoming a superhero and saving the world. The way to fight is to obey God. By fighting the demons in ourselves that lead us to sin and to vices that take us away from God and make us slaves to our passions. By us men recolonising the churches with and making our voices heard, instead letting them be dominated by female voices. By becoming men again, as we were meant to be, and simply telling women, "yes, I am better at you than some things, and you are better at other things than me", thereby encouraging women to be women rather than poor copies of men. And by looking to the men of the Church in times of past to be examples, who understood that the biggest enemy we have is usually the one inside us, whispering empty promises that take us away from God, and we can only become the men we need to be if we use our reason to overcome those temptations and live according to Truth. And if we manage that and only if we manage that, we will make inroads against evil.
