SISTER FERALIA'S LETTER TO THE SISTERHOOD...

Why the invitation to Fr Farzenheim has been rescinded...

Sister FeraliaDear Sisters,

It has been a week of ups and downs, highs and lows.

We can be encouraged as we move through Space and Time further and further away from the A Point, or Alpha Male period 15 billion years ago towards the F Point, or Feminine Fulfilment that Gaia and Sophia will be supporting us.

Please get your Crystals working! The success of the Green Tea Ceremony or Holy Ch'a Afternoon in Mount Lonesome National Park would not have been possible without the STRONG SPIRITUAL FORCES released from Mother Earth's Powerful Womb which is fostering renewal of energy, refreshment of mind and restoration of souls. The loss of Sister Umania under the Bulldozer is a matter of regret.

I am sure that these forces have had a part to play in our successful campaign against the homilies of Father Farzenheim of the Fathers of Divine Wrath.

His recent deliverance of Why Women Should Not Wear Pants outraged many of the Sisters.

Pants or 'panties' are not words one should expect from a reverend cleric of the Male Gender.

If Father Farzenheim was referring to 'slacks' then he should have said so.

I know that I was not the only Sister to be shocked by this priest's intemperate use of language.

An official complaint has been laid with the Divine Wrath Fathers and it is expected a monitum will eventuate.

Until this outburst some Sisters had hoped that Father Farzenheim would open the Workshop on Women's Wellness in a Hostile World, but it is obvious that this is no longer an option. In any case we have much Hostile Opinion from this Male Cleric on the subject of yoga, herbal teas, healing massages and body polishing to expect that he would have made a worthwhile contribution.

Until next time, and may Gaia and Sophia be with you.

Sister Feralia

Sr FeraliaSister Feralia is the face of the New Feminism, a healthy antidote to the testosterone-driven ecclesial community of Father Farzenheim and the Fathers of Divine Wrath.

Fr FarzenheimFr Farzenheim is another of our occasional visitors to Catholica venting his anger on the Novus Ordo Church. Resident supporter of the reform of the reforms that Cardinal Pell has endeavoured to introduce in his diocese but he just doesn't believe they go half-way far enough. Half the time he thinks the Cardinal is a bit of a pinko. He is a member of the Fathers of Divine Wrath religious order based in Chicago who have recently been invited to Sydney to help address the priest shortage here and the slackness being exhibited by all the "cafeteria Catholics", "backsliders", "wreckovators" and "selfists" in the Australian Church. He does support the Cardinal's call for this "confusing teaching" on Primacy of Conscience to be abolished from the Catechism and all Catholic teaching. Fr Farzenheim welcomes your questions on all matters of Catholic doctrine provided they are addressed to him in reverential tones beginning "Dear Fr Farzenheim". He will not answer any questions when he is addressed by his Christian name. He is still deciding if we can be trusted enough to even know his Christian name and might disclose that in a later column down the track. You are most welcome to address your questions to him through our forum.

We welcome your thoughts in response in our forum.
