William Bond speaks:

I’ll try answering your questions. 

What is love? 

I looked it up in dictionaries and this was the best I came up with.

Love is an emotion involving strong attraction, affection, emotional attachment or concern for a person, animal, or thing. It is expressed in many forms, encompassing a range of strong and positive emotional and mental states, from the most sublime virtue, good habit, deepest interpersonal affection, to the simplest pleasure.

How is love employed in time of war

Strangely enough there are many instances of love during wars. At the beginning of a war the soldiers on each side are indoctrinated to hate the opposing side, but it doesn’t always work out like that. The most famous example of this is, The Christmas Truce of 1914 in WW1.

It was a spontaneous, unofficial ceasefire that occurred along parts of the Western Front during World War I, primarily on Christmas Day, 25 December 1914.  Around 100,000 British and German troops participated in localized truces, with fighting halting from Christmas Eve through Boxing Day in many sectors. 

Origins: The truce began on Christmas Eve, when German soldiers sang Stille Nacht (Silent Night) in their trenches.  British troops responded with their own carols, sparking a mood of shared humanity.

Activities: Soldiers from both sides climbed out of their trenches into no man’s land to exchange gifts—cigarettes, food, alcohol, and souvenirs like buttons and hats.  They shared stories, played football (soccer) matches, and even held joint burial services for the dead.

So even though both sides were taught to hate each other, the love the men for others overcome this hatred. So the generals of each side had to work really hard to end this unofficial truce and get the men back in their trenches, so they could go on fighting and killing each other once again. This demonstrates that in war the men fighting the war are only, “cannon folder”. In many cases the ordinary soldiers had no interest in fighting and killing the “enemy”. War always comes from the rulers of patriarchal countries, and the men blindly follow their orders. 

My Dad fought right through WW2 but he never expressed any hatred for the Germans or the Italians whom he fought against. So it is possible for ordinary men to, “love their enemies”. 

Did Martin Luther King Jr. employ love in the Civil Rights Movement? How would you describe his love?

I think Martin Luther King Jr employed the love black people have for each other so they could unite in love to face the threats of violent racialist white men. They must of known when they had unarmed peaceful protests that some of them would be beaten up and murdered. But they were willing to be martyrs because of the love they had for each other. Martin Luther King, also depended on the love of white people who when seeing peaceful black people being beaten up and murdered, turned against the racists and supported the black people’s cause. 

How was Rosa Parks using love when she refused to sit in the back of the bus – was arrested, fined, & she & her husband both lost their jobs. Explain her love.

I think Rosa Parks must have had a love and respect for herself, to no longer want be discriminated against. But she must of taken a stand knowing most black women wouldn’t do this. So because she loved her own people she was willing to be persecuted, because she was strong enough to endure it and so helped other black women who weren’t as strong-minded as her. 

How was Mahatma Ghandi using love when he taught his countrymen to stand up to the British? 

The tactics and strategy of Mahatma Ghandi and Martin Luther King Jr, were very similar. A lot more Indians were murdered and martyred than what happened in the USA. Probably because the UK was a long way from India and so the British public were less aware of what was going on in India. Ghandi knew that violent protests would turn the British public against his cause but peaceful protests and the brutal reaction to them by the military, gave Ghandi a lot of support in Britain and all over the world. This was only possible because large numbers of Indians were willing to be martyred to give India it’s freedom. While the British public like the USA public, sympathised with the people being beaten up and murdered rather than the persecutors. 

We are asking here how does the underdog – the one defenseless, the one pushed down, use love in the lifting up of themselves & getting free from an oppressor?

The tactics and strategy of Mahatma Ghandi and Martin Luther King Jr, was showing up the oppressors to gains the support of the common people. When loving people confront oppressors who beat up and murder peaceful loving people, then the majority of public sympathy always goes to the people willing to be martyred. So it is about mobilizing the people against the oppressors. 

 Sure, we all want loving & kind hearted leaders. Sure, we all want to be loved, accepted, tolerated, treated fairly – but how do we get up from the heel of the oppressor pushing us down – the tyrant who has no love, but the desire to use & exploit us at any cost & will even kill us for seeking freedom? How do we use love to get away from this oppressor, turn around & become the kind, benevolent leader?  Can you answer this?

To put it in the words of a politician we have over-here called Jeremy Corbyn. “We are the many, they are the few”. In other words we have to invoke the power of the people. The crazy part about patriarchy is that the rulers of patriarchal countries are very few in number. 

The billionaire class refers to the extremely wealthy elite—approximately 3,300 individuals globally—who collectively control vast amounts of global wealth, often exceeding $11.8 trillion.  This group is increasingly scrutinized for its influence on politics, economy, and democracy.

So we are talking about a very tiny minority of the people, yet they are able to rule and control the governments of Western countries through simple bribery. It’s true patriarchy will use coercion to control the people, but their main form of control is propaganda and indoctrination. Also the rulers, are better organized while the people have no form of organization. 

So in the end it’s a propaganda war. So we have to look at the tactics and strategy of Karl Marx. 

He emphasized the need to educate the working class by exposing the contradictions of capitalism and revealing the material basis of social relations.  In The Communist Manifesto, Marx and Engels presented a systematic critique of capitalism and a call to action, which functions as both revolutionary agitation and propaganda—aimed at awakening class consciousness and mobilizing the proletariat.

And the communists were very successful in doing this. Using these methods they successfully turn large countries like Russia and China into communist countries as well as smaller countries like Vietnam and Cuba. The communist succeeded because they convinced large numbers of ordinary people they would be better off, if they lived in a communist system. And to some degree the communist system has worked. The Soviet Union gave the people free health-care, free housing, free education, guaranteed employment and pensions when people retired. While in China the communist party has lifted millions of Chinese people out of poverty. The problem with communism is that it’s not democratic and how successful it is, depends on who ends up as the leader. So it works well if the leader is an intelligent and caring man, but it can become a nightmare if the leader is an idiot, or cares nothing for the people he rules. 

We have to be aware of the weakness of patriarchy. Most patriarchal rulers do not serve the needs their people, we see this in the huge gap between rich and poor. For this reason most people are not loyal to patriarchy but put up with it because they do not see any alternative to it. As some people cynically point out, “It doesn’t matter who you vote for, the government always gets in.”

The problem is that patriarchal politicians are all liars and no there is no guarantee that anyone the people vote for won’t turn out to be a corrupt, self-serving politician. Only a matriarchal political party empathizing women’s maternal love can give a guarantee they will genuinely care about the people they rule. 

Oh yes, & explain what exactly is a ‘dick in skirt’ or ‘dick in frock?’

I got this expression from my friend Pamela Suffield. I think she was referring to female politicians like Margaret Thatcher who was called “The Iron Lady” because she tried to act and behave like a macho man. Another example would be Hillary Clinton who made infamous remark on TV about the murder of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi when she said. “We came, we saw, he died”. She might of thought that this remark was, big and clever, but didn’t realize that the destruction of the Muammar Gaddafi government would caused a stable and prosperous country, to become a failed state, now being ruled by brutal warlords. Hillary Clinton was later shocked when she went to Ireland and a Irish crowd shouted at her and told her she was a “war criminal”. I can name many other cases of female politicians behaving like this. 

 What does she do, how does she act, & how should she act to be loving? Like if an enemy strikes her country should she say,

“No, don’t fight back. We love them. Let them do what they want to do.”

I think any future matriarchal government has to be pragmatic. Women leaders have to work from their basic maternal instincts and not from blind idealism. After all, a loving maternal mother looking after her children has to many pragmatic decisions all the time, on what is best for her children. For this reason a mother will always keep her house locked up at night to protect her children. A matriarchal government that allows a patriarchal country to invade and conquer them, is not showing love for their own people. For this reason, like it or not, a matriarchal government cannot disarm and disband it’s military forces. This is because even if every government on the planet become matriarchal and give up their military. But one country remains patriarchal and retains it’s military force. Then it would be too easy for that patriarchal country to use it’s military the conquer the whole word and re-impose patriarchy onto the world once again. 

I also think any matriarchal government has to be aware of the economic theories of both Karl Marx and John Maynard Keynes. The reason for this is in the case of Margaret Bondfield. –

Margaret Bondfield was the first female government minister in the United Kingdom, appointed as Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Labour in January 1924 under Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald.  She later became the first woman to serve in the Cabinet when she was appointed Minister of Labour in 1929, a role that also made her the first female Privy Counsellor in British history.

She gained political power by standing up for the working class and showing she was a caring woman, but as government minister she was a disappointment as she behaved like any other male politician. The reason is that she was bamboozled by her “advisors” that the government had no money and for that reason she couldn’t go ahead with all her policies to help the people. But had she known about the economic theories of either Marx or Keynes or had some idea about how the banking system works. She would have known the advice that was given to her was a complete pack of lies. (This wasn’t a mistake the labour government made after the war. In spite of the fact Britain was bankrupted by the war. They still went ahead with nationalizing major industries, creating the NHS and the welfare state.)

Patriarchy may have first gained power though violence and conquest, but has since retained its power through lies, manipulation, propaganda and indoctrination. So we have to challenge these lies and expose patriarchy for what it is and give the people a credible alternative to patriarchy.   William

Pete pipes in:

Well said overall, William.  Thank you for sharing your insights. 

Indeed, in a nutshell, I will note that we must remember leading from a position of love does NOT rule out “tough love” or even “cruel to be kind, in the right measure” (as Shakespeare would say) as well.  But it DOES rule out *gratuitous* cruelty/violence and stooping down to the level of the evil enemy and becoming evil oneself.  This is a very, very important nuance!   Pete

From William:

Agreed Pete, if a person has a genuine love for others then they don’t need ideology, laws or scripture to guide them. Their love and caring for others, will always guide them to do the right thing. 

William

Rasa says: Where are they hiding?

                   From Rasa:      

I have many more questions & they go into details of how does one apply love, say in domestic hard situations – with bad men in the house? American men are more violent than other ‘Westerners’ – they are dangerous. How do we apply love with abusers?

        It gets difficut to apply love in a world that has none. Where do we start? Politically, there is no love nation to nation – their words are all a farce. “Brothers'” “Peace”” – all lies. A woman enters their world, what does she do? How does she apply love in a demonic Patriarchy?

    And what about my Community – Village – Order? How will I ensure, in this blueprint, that we follow love & how do we manage these men, some of whom are dangerous {& it only takes one} but we don’t want to put the kabosh on all of them, but protect ourselves from the bad ones.

    And btw, there IS no world organization working to empower women toward Matriarchy – none in the entire world. Once again, like with so many things, I am the first. Don’t know how far I’ll get but will do the best I can.

    Your answers were terrific William, thank you. Maybe one question.  A woman has 3 children, small, no family of her own for support – she thought she had a decent husband – he pays the bills – but he’s become abusive to her & the children – really bad – to the point their lives are threatened. How does she apply love here? It’s a microcosm of a nation. Nations get abused. How do they deal with it? How do they escape?   Rasa

From Pete:

          One thought I just had about why American men are so much more violent than other Western men.  One possible culprit is the fact that America is the “land of 300 million guns”, which makes already dangerous individuals MORE dangerous, since guns are a more easy and “frictionless” way to kill and injure people. But even that doesn’t explain all of it. My theory?  CIRCUMCISION!  It is relatively rare in almost any other Western country (and it’s something America has in common with Middle Eastern countries that so many Americans claim to dislike).  That early trauma likely makes boys grow up to be more violent than they otherwise would be, and indeed the proof is in the pudding.  Fortunately, this barbaric practice it is becoming far less common with each new generation of Americans, dropping from nearly universal (80-90% of Baby Boomer males)  to just under half of newborn boys per the latest statistics.    Pete

Rasa speaks up:

YES INDEED CIRCUMCISION IS A MONSTROUS BARBARIC PRATICE WHICH IS MUTILATION OF A CHILD & SHOULD BE OUTLAWED.  THOUSANDS OF NERVE ENDINGS ARE TAKEN OFF WITH THE FORESKIN, MAKING SEX LESS  PLEASURABLE.  THIS PRACTICE IS TRULY DEMONIC – & THE BABY IS GIVEN NO PAIN KILLER!  TORTURE!

From William Bond:

Hi Rasa.  To answer your question.

Rasa asks:  A woman has 3 children, small, no family of her own for support – she thought she had a decent husband –  he pays the bills – but he’s become abusive to her & the children – really bad – to the point their lives are threatened. How does she apply love here? It’s a microcosm of a nation. Nations get abused. How do they deal with it? How do they escape?

William says:  Love works best on the collective level but not so well individually. An example of this is the bonobo ape. The females rule through sisterhood, so female bonobos are powerful because all bonobo females love and support each other. But put bonobos in a zoo and then put two bonobo apes, male and female, together in a cage, then all the advantages of being a female bonobo ape disappears. Simply because if the male uses his greater size and strength to abuse the female there is nothing she can do. Because being locked in a cage she cannot call on the help of her sisters. The only thing she can do is have sex with the male and hope that will quiet him down and limit the abuse, but it still means he has the advantage of this greater size and strength. 

This is what has happened in human society. Patriarchy was created by men for the benefit of men. So they deliberately created marriage so men and women are alone together and a husband can use his greater size and strength to dominate his wife. So marriage has become a cage for women. It’s a bit like going to a casino, all the games there are rigged to favour the casino. And if some clever gambler find ways to beat odds, then the casino simply changes the rules of the game, to favour itself. So the problem is that men rule our world and they create laws and customs that favour male dominance. 

Yes, wives can use love and sex to quieten her husband down and even teach him how to love, So some men can be pacified or even dominated by love and sex, but that doesn’t always work. And because the game is rigged to favour male dominance. The man who is not influenced by love or sex, is still able to abuse and dominate his wife. 

          Rasa relates:  Indeed, I’ve been preaching this since 2004 in my first Internet-available book “Can Female Power Save the Planet?” I said it again & again, ‘the nuclear family is the hotbed of abuse. It is designed to separate the woman from her female relatives & sisters & gives the man a free-for-all toward her & the kids.She is on her own & God help her when trouble starts – a married female is not allowed to have single women friends! Since female are not invited to hob nob with married couples because it empowers the wife! But single males, conversely, are welcome. Why? It empowers the man…..

I might add that women are sisterly until the time when they pair off – after they finish school – & once they take on a male partner sisterhood diminishes or ends entirely. She is now owned by her Massah who calls the shots & as I just explained, he & Patriarchy don’t allow her single female friends. Married female friends are tolerated because they are presumably OWNED by a male also, lol, less risk of empowering the wife when she’s a slave herself.  Rasa

William continues:  This ties into what Pete said about circumcision. Patriarchy not only abuses women but men and boys as well. They claim the reason they do this, is to make men tough. If a boy is abused as a child he learns how to hate the world and becomes an abuser himself. So when he grows up he is more resistant to love and women find it nearly impossible to tame him through love and sex. So abusing boys and men is another method patriarchy uses to keep male dominance going. As it makes them resistant to love. 

          Rasa says: How true. A school master said to give him a boy at a young age & he can train him how to be for the rest f his life. “As the twig is bent, so grows the tree.” I have notied  that most of those who became Saints in the Catholic Church came from pious families who respected Gd, were devoted to God & even prayed together as a family every night. They went to Church & received the sacraments.  But abuse a child & they might become hard-hearted – even turn to criminals. I know a lady personally who has blocked God because she was abused by an alcoholic Dad & no one helped – she blames God. I tried to persuade her to allow God into her heart but she said, “It hurts too much.”   Rasa

William continues:  Abusing girls and women also has a similar effect. If girls and women can also be taught how to hate, then as women they are unable to influence men by teaching them how to love. Patriarchy thrives on conflict, fear, hatred and violence. While matriarchy thrives on love and unity. The weakness of patriarchy is that people, both men and women don’t want to live in a world of hatred, fear and conflict. Both sexes would far prefer to live in a loving world of unity and compassion. But patriarchy tells us that a loving world like this is impossible. But it’s only impossible while we still live in a patriarchal society. We can live in a loving world if we allow loving women to rule our world.   William

          Rasa’s response:  Women don’t hate everyone but they have a tendency, in a certain way, to hate themselves & they certainy do not love their sister. They love men – you said so yourself – & they should stop pampering them & teach men to love {which is almost impossible, as this has to start in infancy.} Under the influence of men, who are the dominant factor in our society boys learn from them how to be. If there’s a man in the house he supposedly teaches his son ‘how to be a man.’ This can result in teaching not love, but toxic masculinity: be hard, not soft. Revenge, retaliation, not forgiveness. Learn to kill animals {in rural/farm setting or as hunters ‘for pleasure’} – later kill men. They teach them all that is against the truly great male teachers – Buddah & Jesus, {a reincarnated Buddhist Guru} – who pray for ‘all sentient beings.’

Males pass down from generation to generation NOT to care about others – they teach the demonic.  Rasa

Pete appears:

Excellent response, William!  Very well said overall.  Thank you for sharing your insights.

Indeed, as history has shown, “collective security” works FAR better than “peace through appeasement”, while the latter tends to backfire.  Bonobos understand this quite well.  They have a powerful sisterhood where they all have each other’s backs, and have absolutely ZERO tolerance for male-on-female violence of any kind.  Unfortunately, under patriarchy, human Women have been historically divided against one another, making true sisterhood much more difficult to achieve.  And from slut-shaming to victim-blaming, or even simply putting the ONUS on Women not to “get themselves victimized” by men (rather than on men, where it belongs), ironically the biggest “enforcers” of this illiberal regime are actually other Women against each other, while the men in charge just sit back and laugh at them, and carry one with their atrocities.  That is of course NOT a sisterhood, that is a CARTEL that serves only to prop up the “glided cage” of patriarchy, benefiting some Women at the expense of others, to the detriment of Women as a class.  That is gradually changing, of course, but at very glacial pace.  And the “sexual revolution” remains half-finished at best.

Much like the eagle in the Great Seal of the United States, bonobo females wield both a proverbial olive branch in one hand AND arrows in the other, as it’s NOT either-or.

And indeed, both circumcision as well as child abuse in general, do tend to make boys become more resistant to love, and eventually hate and violence becomes the only language they understand.  It mutilates their psyches even more so than it mutilates their bodies.  And when done to girls, that also has a similar effect, and further “normalizes” in their minds them being on the receiving end of such horrible behavior from males.  For both, it can even have an addiction-like effect as well.  So of course, the demonic patriarchy absolutely luuurrrrves all of that, as these pernicious effects are seen as FEATURES rather than bugs.  Pete

          Rasa’s response: Women are prisoners of the gender war & it behooves them to try to escape even if there are great risks involved. If they do not try, the Patriarchy perpetuates every generation. They must fight for the future generations of women so they can do what has to be done: empower women to be leaders, disempower men to stop their atrocities.  Rasa

William says:

Yeah, the feminists were on the right track when they used the slogan, “the sisterhood is powerful”, but then they gave up on it.

Child abuse does not seem to be as bad as it used to be.

Pete continues:

A couple more things I will add about bonobos:

1) In bonobo society, it is GAUCHE for males to make the first move when it comes to sexual activity with females.  It is understood that females make the first move, and also “whoever has the yoni makes the rules” as well.  And after the emergence of affirmative consent laws and especially after the MeToo movement, we are beginning to see such a tendency developing for humans as well, with men less likely to want to make the first move (for obvious reasons), at least in the Anglosphere.  Some Women are apparently a bit dismayed by this development, likely feeling that it puts a burden of yet more “emotional labor” onto Women, but “them’s the breaks” as all things considered, it is certainly a LOT safer for Women (and men too!) all the same.

2) While there is absolutely ZERO tolerance for male-on-female violence in bonobo society, some degree of male-on-male violence (mainly among adolescent juveniles) is tolerated and sometimes even encouraged by the females in charge. That, within LIMITS of course, most likely serves as a sort of “pressure-release valve” to prevent a “powder keg” from developing.  They do fight, but do NOT seem to murder or torture each other.  Which ironically, before the advent of current zero-tolerance, one-strike-and-you’re-expelled policies regarding mild schoolyard fisticuffs, used to be the norm for adolescent humans as well.  So what we have now is a “powder keg” of less fisticuffs, but unfortunately more mass shootings. 

3) Female-on-male violence, which is apparently tolerated, unfortunately DOES seem to be somewhat of an issue for bonobos.  While such violence it is usually defensive, alas it isn’t always.  Anecdotal observations do unfortunately exist of such unprovoked attacks, sometimes even serious ones too.  However, the exact prevalence of unprovoked female-on-male violence among bonobos remains unknown, and is most likely exaggerated by those with an obvious axe to grind, and not nearly has high as they claim it to be.

4) One thing that is notably absent from bonobo society is any sort of punishment or sanctions for females who somehow “put themselves in harm’s way” in regards to males. The onus is thus entirely on the males, NOT the females.  The other females have their backs regardless.  That is a true sisterhood!   In contrast, for most of recorded history under patriarchy, from the Old Testament to Emperor Constantine to the Puritans and beyond, Women who were raped or otherwise victimized by men were also punished as well, sometimes even more harshly than the males. (I like to call such a phenomenon “Constantine Syndrome”.)  Nowadays that is far less likely in the West at least (though still common in some more patriarchal parts of the world), though some degree of victim-blaming and shaming still unfortunately exists even to this day.  And that utterly toxic and counterproductive phenomenon really needs to end yesterday!

          And yes, you are very likely correct about that, William.  Child abuse is still a serious problem, of course, but the best statistics show that is indeed significantly less than it was decades ago.  Even if that is a pitifully low bar to clear.

Rasa checks the internet:

          Substantiated cases of child sexual and physical abuse—crimes predominantly committed by men—have significantly decreased in the United States and other high-income countries since the early 1990s, with studies showing declines of 30% to over 50%. While physical and sexual abuse rates dropped, reports of emotional or psychological abuse have risen, and neglect cases have shown less reduction. 

Key trends and findings from the last 30 years:

• Significant Declines: Child sexual abuse cases dropped by 53% to 62% between 1990 and the late 2000s. Physical abuse, often involving male perpetrators, also decreased by over 50% during this period.
• Long-Term Trend: The decline in sexual abuse has been consistent across most U.S. states, with many reporting decreases of over 30% in the 1990s alone.
• Reasons for Decrease: Potential factors contributing to these declines include increased prevention programs, better child protection efforts, economic improvements, and potentially, greater awareness and reporting of abuse leading to earlier intervention.
• Limitations: Despite these declines, some studies note that while official reports are down, this does not necessarily mean the total incidence of abuse has dropped by the same amount, as underreporting and differing definitions of abuse make tracking difficult. 

While the overall trend for physical and sexual abuse by men shows a decrease, it is important to note that these forms of abuse still occur frequently, but at a lower rate than in the early 1990s.

Rasa says:

                   Years ago I saw a study by the military – from personnel filing out questionnaires & the statistics said female 49% sexually abused as kids, & boys 25%. I suspect it’s higher because not everyone wants to admit these horribe crimes, & some even have amnesia regarding them.

          So that’s your pitifully low bar to clear. And then again, men have become more clever to HIDE their activities so they don’t get reported – & are they murdering children after abusing them, moreso than before, so they can’t tell?

Just as I thought – Since 2013 murder of children by men has INCREASED.  How many of these murders were preceded by sexual abuse?  After reading the following items it proves that child murderers were sex offenders before the murder {From Internet:}

Based on data from the last 30 years (roughly 1994–2024), the murder of children by men in the United States has shown complex trends, with significant declines in the 1990s and 2000s, followed by a notable increase starting around 2013. 

While overall violent crime dropped during the 1990s, pediatric homicide rates began rising again consistently after 2013, with a sharp increase observed during the COVID-19 pandemic (2019–2020). 

Here is a detailed breakdown of the trends:

• Long-Term Trends (1990s–2010s): Following a peak in the early 1990s, the number of youth homicide victims fell by 37% by 2020.
• Recent Trends (2013–Present): Pediatric homicides (victims under 18) have risen consistently since 2013, with a 27.7% spike between 2019 and 2020 alone.
• Perpetrator Gender: Males are overwhelmingly the primary perpetrators of pediatric homicide across all age groups, responsible for over 90% of adolescent homicides and roughly 65–75% of infant/child homicides.
• Perpetrator Profile: For children under 5, the most common killers are male family members (36.5%), followed by female family members (26.9%).
• Increase in Firearm Use: A key factor in the increase of child murders is the rising use of firearms, which has significantly increased since 2006–2010. Firearms surpassed motor vehicle accidents as the leading cause of death for children in the U.S. in 2020.
• Filicide (Parent killing child): The annual number of children killed by parents has remained relatively stable at around 500 cases per year over the last three decades, meaning it did not decrease in proportion to population growth. 

Key Findings on Demographic Risk:

• Age Matters: For infants and toddlers (0–4), the percentage of homicides committed by males increased over time, from 61.1% in 1976–1980 to 65.3% in 2016–2020.
• Race Disparities: Black children are disproportionately affected, experiencing higher homicide rates, with firearms used in 20.8% of Black infant/toddler homicides, compared to 10.2% for White counterparts (2016–2020). 

Note: The statistics primarily refer to U.S. data, which is often used in global longitudinal studies of this nature.

{Rasa tried to discover how many of child-murdering men first abused the child sexually, but this was the best she could find.  It doesn’t answer her question exactly.  Internet:}

Based on analyses of child homicide and abuse data from the last 30 years, sexual abuse is not the primary cause of death in most cases of children killed by men, though it is a significant factor in specific, rare subsets of these crimes.

• Overall Context: While sexual abuse is a frequent, often unreported form of child maltreatment, it is not the leading cause of child fatality. Child fatalities are most commonly caused by neglect (over 70%) or physical abuse.
• Sexual Homicide Rates: Research indicates that sexual homicide (which involves a sexual crime contemporaneous to the homicide) accounts for approximately 1% to 4% of all recorded homicides.
• Perpetrator Profile: Data on child sexual homicide offenders (SHOs) shows that these offenders are overwhelmingly male (95%).
• Prior Victimization: Among child sexual homicide offenders (SHOs), studies show they are more likely to have committed acts of sexual child abuse before the sexual homicide (46% vs. 16% in non-homicidal cases).
• Relationship to Victim: In cases where children were killed by men, the perpetrator was often a parent or known caregiver (80% of child fatalities involve at least one parent). 

In summary, while sexual abuse is a tragic aspect of some child homicides, the vast majority of children killed by men in the last 30 years die from other forms of physical abuse or neglect, rather than homicide preceded by sexual abuse. Sexual homicide of children remains a rare, albeit high-profile, phenomenon.  {End}

Sarah Mullally is the new Archbishop of Canterbury, which is like the Pope of England

From William Bond: 

Hi Rasa

I have also wondered why people with crazy ideas like that of Alex Jones & David Icke have a strong following while are more reasonable ideas that women should rule the world and that God is female are rejected. And thinking about it, I think the problem is our lack of power. 

Patriarchy is supported by people because they see it as powerful. After all men have been ruling our world for thousands of years and today all religions are patriarchal religions. So in the end the people will support the winners and that has been patriarchy. So it is a catch 22, people will support matriarchy if is shows it is powerful, but it can only be powerful if people support it. 

So I think your Fatima belief is on the right track, because the only way we can make people interested in our ideas is to perform miracles. Which is something I have attempted myself. I have read many positive thinking books and been interested in Christian Science. So it seems to me that if we accept God is female and She is the ONE and therefore all powerful. And She loves us all unconditionally. Then, if we have faith in Her power and unconventional love for us all, then surely we can perform miracles. But I’m afraid I have not been able to make his work, my faith is not strong enough. 

But to me that is the only way forward, if we cannot bring MotherGod into our lives to perform many miracles, then no one is going to take us seriously.    William

Rasa says:

          Good question – why we can’t move ahead faster. It’s frustrating. I think we are moving closer to Female Dominance so slowly that right now it’s hard to see it, like a condition you don‘t notice until it stares you in the face.

          We cannot even begin to see Matriarchy until the leadership in a country is over the 50% mark. That percent is EQUAL but being that women are by nature superior to men – the dreadful thing happens as soon as they have equality the scales will tip in their favor & they will begin to dominate.

          The reason it’ll take so long is men have been working on their system thousands of years, to squash women down. It’s a strong system. So it will not take thousands but hundreds of years to reverse it, which if you look at it that way, it’s not too long.

          You mention Patriarchal religion. I shared so many videos with statistics of how all the major Patriarchal Churches are shutting down – including th Catholic Church. They are antiquated, obsolete, & n one wants to listen to their bullshit any more. Religion is the FOUNDATION of Patriarchy – its ideology! The main reason is the uprising of women – but they don’t see it that way.  So big changes are occurring. People don’t even realize what’s happening, but it’s happening.     Rasa

Pete Jackson steps in:

Very true what you say, Rasa.  Getting there really is a slow boat to China!  Scratch that, it is more like a a slow TRAIN to China, which is even slower than getting there by boat, lol.  And it is also nonlinear as well, with many fits, starts, detours, and temporary setbacks, especially right now at this particular moment in history.  But regardless of that, the ultimate bottom line is that the progress of Women is still nonetheless moving in a forward direction in any case, at least in the long run, God willing.  Slowly but surely, it IS happening, even if we don’t obviously see it as it is happening. The Rubicon has already been crossed, in fact.  (Probably sometime around 2012, which was IMHO the real esoteric meaning of the “2012 phenomenon” and the “Age of Aquarius”.)

As the joke I often like to say:

MAN:  “You know, honey, we did win nearly every single battle of the gender war.”

WOMAN:  “Yes, I know, dear.  And that’s also irrelevant.  Remember, you can win every battle and still lose the war.  In fact, you already lost the war before the war even began.”

William Bond reveals:

Yes, I agree, Rasa, that patriarchal religions are in decline because of corruption, sex-scandals and the attack by atheism. Unfortunately, patriarchal religions have given God a bad name and atheism makes use of this. We can see this in books like, “The God Delusion”, by Richard Dawkins who takes the worst aspects of patriarchal religions to disprove the existence of God. So we do need matriarchal religions to demonstrate that god is not as portrayed by patriarchal religions, but She is a loving God who cares for us all.

Another problem with patriarchal religions is that they discourage any communication with God. We see this in Islam which states, “There is no God but Allah, and Mohammed is his ONLY prophet.” So because they claim Mohammed is the only prophet of God anyone else claiming to communicate with God is condemned as a blasphemer. Christianity also discourages communication with God, you can get away with it if you are a priest and don’t say anything controversial. But if you are not a priest and a woman and claim to talk to God or spirit, then at one time she can be condemned as a witch and burnt at the stake. It’s true that Joan of Arc got away with claiming she talked to God for awhile, because she supported the King of France. But even she was captured and sold to the English, who then burnt her at the stake as a witch. 

In Britain the last woman to be convicted of witchcraft was Helen Duncan, a Scottish spiritualist in 1944. The reason she was charged and convicted was that she was too good. The battleship HMS Barham was sunk by a German U-boat but the Admiralty tried to keep the sinking a secret. But when dead sailors from HMS Barham turned up at Helen Duncan’s seances it forced the Admiralty to admit to the sink of HMS Barham. So Helen Duncan was prosecuted under the Witchcraft Act of 1735, to prevent her from revealing any more military secrets. 

This is why patriarchal religions don’t encourage communication with God, because women make far better mediums than men and they don’t want female mediums, contradicting the teachings of patriarchal religions. But this won’t be a problem for matriarchal religions who will want to speak directly with God. This will make matriarchal religions popular with the common people who also want to be able to talk to God and will welcome the chance to do this through mediums in matriarchal churches. 

So matriarchal religions can restore the good name of God which has been denigrated by patriarchal religions. And they can also make it possible for the people to communicate with God once again and receive Her help and guidance. 

Witchcraft Act of 1735 was not repealed until 1951!

Helen Duncan (1897–1956) was a Scottish medium famously convicted under the Witchcraft Act of 1735 in London in April 1944, becoming the last person in Britain to be imprisoned under this law. During WWII, authorities feared her seances, where she produced “ectoplasm,” could reveal national secrets, such as the D-Day plans. 

Key Facts About the 1944 Trial:

• The Arrest: Following a Portsmouth seance in January 1944, where she allegedly conjured a deceased sailor, she was arrested along with others.
• The Charges: She was tried at the Old Bailey for “pretending to exercise or use human conjuration” (fraudulent spiritualism).
• Wartime Concerns: The prosecution was heavily motivated by national security concerns, specifically that she might reveal the secret plans for the upcoming D-Day landings.
• The Sentence: Convicted on April 3, 1944, she was sentenced to nine months in HMP Holloway, https://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/HistoryofScotland/Helen-Duncan-Scotlands-last-witch/ Historic UK reports.
• Churchill’s Reaction: Prime Minister Winston Churchill was famously unimpressed, calling the case “obsolete tomfoolery”. 

Despite being branded a fraud by many, she maintained a devoted following, notes https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-18456106 BBC News. Her conviction, which occurred right before the Allied invasion of Europe, is considered a unique moment where mystical activities intersected with wartime espionage fears. The case helped lead to the repeal of the Witchcraft Act in 1951, says https://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/HistoryofScotland/Helen-Duncan-Scotlands-last-witch/ Historic UK. 

From Rasa to William & Pete,

                   Yes indeed, God is not bad nor does She cease to exist because of the sins of mankind – what a thought, how ridiculous. People are evil, religion is stupid, therefore there is no God. The most stupid thing is the person who wrote that.

          One can see the decline of Patriarchal religion in more than one way; yes – the Catholic Church is sickeningly corrupt. It’s been demonic since the middle ages – Iron Maiden & all that. Simony, nepotism, living in luxury & debauchery while holding down poor people making them believe they are the bad guys.

Atheists have from the beginning, also, attacked religion as in spite f its evils many get savedl

          Then finally the sex scandal:

The Boston Globe won the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service. Their investigative team (Spotlight) published reports starting in early 2002 that broke open the sex scandals within the Catholic Church, specifically focusing on the Archdiocese of Boston.

The first item has been overwhelming sine the Middle Ages. The second item has been since the beginning of Patriarchy. The third item is recent & has a definite point of origin which you can believe or dismiss, whatever you want – but I caused it through 3 months of activities & prayers – Things such as I had never done in my life & never will again, as explained elsewhere.

But there is a fourth factor: women.

{internet :} “Historically, Catholic and general Christian church attendance has skewed female, with women often comprising 55%–58% of congregations. However, recent 2025 data shows a significant reversal in the U.S., with men (43%) outpacing women (36%) in weekly church attendance. Hispanic Catholic congregations in the U.S. previously showed a 55% female and 45% male split.

•  Global Context: Despite the shift in some US data, global studies, such as Pew Research Center, have generally found that women are more religious and more likely to attend services.”

Statistics show percentage wise men are increasing because women are decreasing – It is primarily the WOMEN who are leaving these Churches. 

And it is they – not the men – that bring the family, children to Church & into the Patriarchal religion which they are now NOT DOING.

I have shared many of the videos that present the facts that the Christian {Patriarchal} Churches across America are shutting down at ‘alarming’ rates.

Even those Mega Churches that looked so powerful:

{internet :} “World-famous male and female mega church televangelists have utilized television and digital media to build global ministries, often promoting prosperity theology or charismatic movements. Key figures include Joel Osteen, Benny Hinn, and Kenneth Copeland (male), alongside prominent female leaders like Joyce Meyer & Paula White-Cain.”

But instead of growing – they are declining:

{internet:}  “Mega-churches are experiencing a decline in the U.S., with their growth stalling around 2010 and accelerating post-COVID-19. While still influential, many have seen attendance drop to 50% of pre-pandemic levels. Challenges include high staff turnover, reliance on a single founder, and a shift towards smaller, more intimate worship settings.”

Rasa says – Reasons, reasons, reasons. Everything but the truth. Just like the end of the Cold War & Communism, they give  a bunch of reasons, all except my speech before the White House June 16, 1978 – where Our Lady of Fatima’s Power was released;

Like they claim female body buiding was started by the Feminist movement, when in fact it started from my Esquire & Playboy articles.

So the FACT of these Churches declining is as plain as the nose on your face, which you can’t see: Women are sick of the bullshit of men, men telling them what reality consists of, the difference between good & bad, how we should behave, dress, what lifestyle we follow. We finally had enough. We could see the writing on the wall & it said,

“Woman, you are our slave – you follow us”

and we piss on that wall & in the New Religion I say, “Woman, Thou Art God,” – worship the God within. God is in you. Follow your own instinct, zeitgeist, rules, make your own choices, decide for yourself what life is about & how to live it.”

And so I now conclude Wiliam & Pete, the REASON the Churches of America are DYING is because they are Patriarchal & Patriarchy is on its way out, while Matriarchy is coming in. Yes, slow, yes, no one is talking about it – yes it’s not on the table. It isn’t time to be OPEN about it for the majority, but the prophets – like us can shout it from the rooftops. The ‘Age of Kali’ is over, their grip is not completely flax but it is loose.

A seismic shift takes time, but it does happen. Evolution is not instant but it takes place – look at the signs. Religion is one of them. When women are in power we worship God as Mother, when men took over they changed it to Father & the female priesthood to male. They changed the rules, the concepts like sex – Sex was Sacred – they made it dirty & forbidden to women while men did what they wanted as they were in charge. See how that has disintegrated?  ‘Me too’ & sex scandals? Actually started in 1983 with the Manhattan Beach Child Care Center, CA.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McMartin_preschool_trial

There were no convictions but years later they did find a TUNNEL under the school which children had talked about but no one until later had ever found!  The abuses apparently took place on the other side of that tunnel.  I saw two different accunts – One is this – About parents who ordered a more thorough digging:

https://cwlibrary.childwelfare.gov/discovery/fulldisplay?docid=alma991001300609707651&context=L&vid=01CWIG_INST:01CWIG&lang=en&search_scope=PublicCat&adaptor=Local%20Search%20Engine&tab=catalog&query=title,exact,Journal%20of%20Psychohistory,%20,AND&mode=advanced&offset=0

I also saw many years ago a former head of FBI in Los Angeles {a video on the internet, saw it around 2007 or earlier} who said he commissioned a dig, found a tunnel, & on the other side was an area outdoors where things could have taken place.  It looked like a ritual abuse altar or stage. They were on their way to building something new & the entire evidence was buried.

This case began the American hysteria of accusing child care centers & individual men for child abuse – some legit, some not. But it brought attention to the issue – although there seems to be a COVER UP in this case, {it was really botched up in the way they questioned kids also} it did start people wondering about men & child abuse & here it was in America.

Back to the original subject, the downfall of man’s religion is the beginning of females creating their own. Now I know why Mother God told me in 2019 to get to it. I was slow, she pushed me. I am to help women find their own way, their own feet, their own vision. They have to start somewhere, so the New Religion & Order will give them a start. There aren’t many places they can go for a breath of Female Empowerment, are there?    {End}  Rasa Von Werder

From William Bond:

Hi Rasa

I think one of the reasons why patriarchy has survived for so long it that they have successfully eliminated all opposition to it. So now, even though people can clearly see the faults of patriarchy they find it hard to come up with a credible alternative to it. We see this with atheism, yes, it so easy for atheist to point out all the contradictions and stupidity of patriarchal religions but what they have to offer instead, is not much better. They claim our universe and life on Earth was created by a accident and so we live in a pointless and meaningless world. So they offer very little hope for our world. 

The only real alternative to patriarchy we have seen in recent years is feminism and it has been very successful in empowering women. But it doesn’t challenge the patriarchal status-quo as it claims men and women are the same and the end result is that feminist think that if women want power they have to act and behave like patriarchal men. 

From Rasa: OK feminism is the only answer? The only world known, famous/recognized answer but you might have included my efforts in the website “Woman Thou Art God” & the book of the same name in 2019 & dozens of articles on my website & blog re the New Religion for Women. This is not universally recognized but it has had a major impact in some ways. The movement Femen in the Ukraine comes directly out of the website “Woman Thou Art God” with women jumping onto Cathedral altars topless with writings on their chest “I am God” – & they demonstrated topless next to Prime Minister Putin – at Muslim male gatherings, jumping on stage half naked & all that. Don’t sweep me under the rug.  I don’t sweep you under the rug although you are not world famous. I give you credit for being a prophet & although you are not in the mainstream you have influenced many people, such as Pete & myself – we follow in your footsteps so there is an impact.   Rasa

William: It does seem to me the Catholic Church has two choices. It either continues to decline or does what some Protestant Churches do and allow women priests. This must be a big problem for the Catholic Church hierarchy because when they look at what is going on in the Church of England. It is clear that by allowing women to become priests, it is allowing women to take over. This may be more of a problem for the Catholic Church because they worship the Virgin Mary. Women priests in the Catholic Church may identify with the Virgin Mary and attract women back into the Church by venerating the Virgin Mary even more.

Rasa says: They call it veneration of Holy Mary, not worship, but it’s basically the same They do not give her credit for being God, but Jesus is the one & only God in their religion, She a mere mortal – they stress that & the present Pope, ‘Lame Leo’ has stripped her of some honors like ‘Co-Redeemer’ & ‘Mediatrix of all Graces” with Jesus. In my religion Jesus & Mary are equals, both God, as are all legitimate Gurus & Avatars. All Enlightened souls have the right to be called ‘God on Earth’ – although God is inside all creation, not all people manifest their God.

When we get my Church going, there will be big dealings with the Virgin Mary & all female representations of God – including the Hindu Goddesses. We will downplay too much masculinity & feature the Feminine Divine.

PS There is no hope for the Catholic Church, it cannot be reformed. Too late. As an Institution it is as dead as a doornail, its days are numbered.   Rasa

William:  I think the Mega Churches are missing a trick and forget why the Christian Church was popular with the common people. The reason is that Jesus taught that God is a loving God and he demonstrated in his own lifetime that he was a very loving person. I know many Christian preachers do talk about love but they don’t mean it and the people are not fooled by it. They need to learn from Princess Diana, the establishment were shocked by how popular she was with the people after she died. But the reason for her overwhelming popularity was that she was a woman of high status who genuinely loved the people. Her love wasn’t a fake and the common people were aware of this. So I think the people are crying out for a religion of unconditional love with a God who loves us all and of course it makes more sense to have a loving God who is female, rather than male. 

Rasa: Yes, Diana was a symbol of love & kindness, that is why she was loved. You realize I got her out of Purgatory? She was there 28+ years, my book  “Royals Ascend into Heaven” is a free PDF on my website.

William:  I think one of the reasons why patriarchy is dying is that we are now in the age of information. In the past, priests could get away with corruption and the abuse of minors, but it’s not so easy today to do this. Patriarchy today is being exposed for what it is and it’s becoming impossible to cover it up. So there is a opening for women if they can forget about trying to act and behave like men. If women can follow their maternal instinct and behave like genuine caring and loving people and not get involved in corruption or the abuse of power. Then the people will want women like this to rule over them or be priests in their religions. 

Rasa: That is one way of looking at it, but remember, it is a contradiction to what you yourself said. You have said that instead of women continuing to love men, forgive them, be soft on them, they should stop & teach men to love. It’s a question of what is love? How do you express it, manifest it? Women have loved men too much & hated themselves & their sisters – which is what men wanted. This type way is shown us in the myth of Durga/Kali – a true myth, a prediction of what is to come. The 3 male gods could not control the demon Mahishasura {Patriarchy!}

          Durga transforms herself into Kali

{internet:}   In Hindu mythology, Goddess Durga transformed into the fierce form of Kali to destroy the demon Mahishasura, who was terrorizing the celestial realms and was invincible to men. This transformation occurred when Durga’s rage culminated during the battle, symbolizing the need for destructive energy to annihilate evil. Kali, emerging from Durga’s forehead, brought a more destructive, intense aspect to the fight, often associated with annihilating clones or the demonic nature of Mahishasura. 

Key Aspects of the Transformation and Battle:

• The Cause: Mahishasura, a shape-shifting demon, caused chaos, leading {Rasa: male gods} gods to invoke the divine feminine energy to stop him.
• The Transformation: In the Markandeya Purana, Kali emerges from Durga’s forehead, embodying her intense wrath and bloodlust, acting as a more powerful, destructive, and fierce aspect of Durga.
• The Conflict: While Durga is often depicted as the ten-armed slayer of Mahishasura (Mahishasuramardini), the transformation into Kali specifically represents the divine force required when the battle becomes dire and requires ultimate destruction to ensure victory.
• Symbolism: This transition highlights the adaptability of the Divine Mother—moving from the protective/nurturing Durga to the destructive/fierce Kali to restore balance.
• Victory: The battle lasted nine nights and days, ending in the victory of good over evil, celebrated as Navaratri and Vijayadashami. ……………………………

Rasa continues:

In the beginning, Durga appeared with beauty & seduced Mahishasura, but over time this did no good as more & more of these demons appeared – his bloodline perpetuated. This is what’s happened on earth – we’ve given in to men, worked on our beauty, seduced them, & produced more & more demons – the part of their population that always rises to the top, while nice guys finish last. And finally, the only way we can win is go back to square one – the myth says male extinction. She destroys their bloodline – laps up their blood! This is a long time hence, the ultimate solution but meanwhile it encourages women to be forecefu rather than soft.

Now you William are preaching we not be like men – we should love. Not dicks in skirts. Which is it? Be loving or stop loving & teach them to love? It seems too late to teach them to love, they are too far gone – you cannot teach a demon; they are unredeemable, they will never repent. You can only do exorcism on them – remove them.

You yoursef have said that men see only winners & losers & they do not believe in equality. How do we become winners? Take a look at what Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. did with the blacks in the South. He was not soft. He used action, activity, strong words, strong marches, sit ins & the like. They refused to go on buses that made them sit in back. They stood against police & fire hoses. They prayed on steps of government building, they marched into white neighborhoods, they were beaten with clubs, some died. They did things the blacks never had done before – it was hard, it was dangerous. They showed love for THEMSELVES      where previously they cowered & gave into the white man. It was passive aggression, like Ghandi.

What demon conquerers love is sweet, kind, passive people. These they can rob of all their resources, like the Conquistadors did to the Indians & Aborigines & all defenseless peoples.

What bothers me is first you preach women to move ahead & teach men to love, then you preach women to be nurturing, maternal, kind hearted, not dicks in skirts while they struggle their way into politics. Which is it?

The truth is – Being passive, feminine, nurturing will have men seeing us as they always have in the past – suckers, easy pickins’, ready to be exploited, there for the asking, scared rabbits, unable to defend ourselves.

No, we have to stand arm & arm with sisters like the blacks did, sing together in our Churches {our homes} ‘We shall overcome’ – watch our sister’s back – not compete for the Massah but kick his ass. There are many ways. I am sure that Sarah Mullally has not been a passive, frightened female. She must have fought her battles on the way up.

Yes, this is a war. It’s not an easy fix. The blacks in the South were slaves for generations, conditioned to fear the white man. The Hindus in India were hypnotized to accept the English as their superiors for ages. Queen Victoria called India ‘the Jewel in her Crown,’ The Maharajahs even got together – dozens of them in a big ceremony to crown some English clown as their Emperor.

Women have been suppressed longer than that – thousands of years. And it isn’t going to be an overnight fix. Even though we are superior we are like the big elephant that was taught since a baby that that chain & spike in the ground is enough to hold him. He believes in that chain & spike & he doesn’t pull it out. But some day, sooner or later he will.

I tried to show women their strength in ‘Woman Thu Art God’ – the website that proves female superiority. Ashley Montagu wrote a book about it, 1953. Dr. Bryan Sykes has proven male extinction in 2004 – but all of this has not been enough. The work goes on.    Rasa

William Bond continues:  Just one think I forgot to mention about Helen Duncan, the prosecution claimed she was a fake medium. Yet the irony is that they reason why she was arrested was because the authorities feared that because of her psychic abilities she would reveal more war secrets. If she was a fake, like they claimed, the authorities would have ignored her, in the time of war.    William

          Rasa:  Of course, William, it was a frame up. Lock her up so she can’t spill the beans re D-Day, then let her out, say whatever she wants, lol.

Hi Rasa and Pete

I just wrote about women taking over the Church of England and this is now being confirmed. 

Sarah Mullally has become the first woman to serve as Archbishop of Canterbury, officially confirmed in a legal confirmation service at St Paul’s Cathedral on 28 January 2026.  She succeeds Justin Welby, who resigned in 2024 over his handling of a child abuse scandal. As the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury, she is the spiritual leader of the Church of England and the worldwide Anglican Communion.

So it means women are taking over the Church of England but how successful they will be depends on how they behave. It they are like female politicians and act and behave like, “dicks in frocks” then nothing will be achieved. But if they follow their maternal instincts and act and behave like caring, loving feminine women then they might save the Church of England.  William

Just to add another bit I saw about Sarah Mullally as the new Archbishop of Canterbury.

The appointment marks a historic milestone for the Church of England, though it has drawn criticism from conservative factions within the global Anglican Communion who oppose women in Episcopal roles. Mullally, a former Chief Nursing Officer for Englandand NHS administrator, brings extensive leadership experience in both healthcare and church governance. She has pledged to confront past safeguarding failures and uphold the Church’s commitment to justice, inclusion, and compassion.

I really hope she means what she says about  justice, inclusion, and compassion.    William

          How is the Archbishop of CanterburyChosen? {internet:}

The Archbishop of Canterbury is chosen through a multi-stage process led by the Crown Nominations Commission (CNC), a Church of England body that shortlists candidates, sends recommendations to the Prime Minister, who then advises the Monarch (King/Queen) for formal approval, and finally, the College of Canons at Canterbury Cathedral elects the chosen candidate, followed by royal confirmation. The CNC, comprising various church and diocesan members, interviews candidates, selecting one or two names for the Prime Minister, who forwards the preferred choice to the Monarch for final, formal appointment. 

Why did the previous Archbishop of Canterbury – Justin Welby – resign?  {internet:}

 Justin Welby resigned as the Archbishop of Canterbury on November 12, 2024, following an independent investigation—the Makin Review—that found he failed to ensure a proper investigation into a prolific child sexual abuse scandal, allowing the abuser to continue his actions for years. 

His resignation was driven by his failure to act on allegations against John Smyth, a prominent Christian lawyer who subjected over 100 boys and young men to “brutal and horrific” physical and sexual abuse over four decades. 

Here is a breakdown of what Justin Welby was accused of and what he was found to have done wrong:

Key Failings and Accusations

• Failure to Report to Authorities: The Makin Review found that from August 2013, shortly after Welby became Archbishop, the Church of England knew “at the highest level” about the abuses, yet failed to formally report them to police in the UK or authorities in South Africa.
• Lack of Curiosity and “Cover-up”: The review highlighted a “distinct lack of curiosity” shown by senior church officials, including Welby, and stated that the church’s response was “wholly ineffective” and amounted to a “cover-up”.
• Delayed Action: Although Welby was informed of the abuse in 2013, he did not take sufficient action to ensure a robust investigation, allowing Smyth to continue his abuse in Africa until his death in 2018.
• “Personal and Institutional Responsibility”: In his resignation statement, Welby admitted he “personally failed” to ensure that the claims of abuse were investigated properly. He initially resisted calls to resign, but faced mounting pressure, including a petition signed by over 14,000 people and calls from senior bishops. 

The John Smyth Scandal

John Smyth was a barrister who ran Christian summer camps in the 1970s and 1980s, where he beat boys with a garden cane. The abuse was “horrific,” with victims receiving hundreds of strokes, sometimes causing them to bleed and need medical attention. After being exposed internally in 1982, Smyth moved to Zimbabwe and later South Africa, where he continued to abuse children. 

Context of Resignation

• “Too Busy”: In a later interview, Welby expressed that the sheer scale of safeguarding issues—another case among many—meant he did not act with the necessary urgency, though he conceded this was “a reason – not an excuse”.
• Failed to Meet Victims: Welby apologized for failing to meet with victims of Smyth’s abuse quickly, only doing so years after the 2017 documentary that brought the abuse to public attention.
• “Deep Sense of Shame”: Welby noted that the findings of the review renewed his “long felt and profound sense of shame at the historic safeguarding failures of the Church of England”. 

The Archbishop of York, Stephen Cottrell, and other church figures labeled his resignation “the right and honourable thing to do” to allow the Church to move towards a more victim-centered, independent safeguarding approach.

                   Who is Sarah Mullally?  {internet:}

Dame Sarah Mullally (63) is the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury, confirmed on January 28, 2026, as the first woman to lead the Church of England and the Anglican Communion. Formerly a nurse and the UK’s Chief Nursing Officer (1999–2004), she became a priest in 2002 and is known for her focus on safeguarding and gender equality.  {Rasa: She approves same-sex marriage also} 

Hi Rasa and Pete

I’ve just looked up the first women to become a Church of England priest. 

Angela Berners-Wilson is recognized as the first woman ordained as a priest in the Church of England.  She was ordained on 12 March 1994at BristolCathedral, becoming the first in alphabetical order among 32 women ordained that day. Her ordination marked a historic milestone in the Church of England’s journey toward gender equality in clergy roles.

This means it just took over 30 years for a women to obtain the highest position in the Church of England. I wonder how the Roman Catholic hierarchy thinks about this? Do you think it will make them frighten to allow women priests.   William

Rasa:  Yes, men are scared to death of the Power of women – that’s why they have worked so hard to stop them

Picture Lame Leo crowning Jesus kind of ‘at the expense of’ Holy Mary – Is it because he wants only men to be glorified? Is that why he’s removing the accolades enjoyed by Mary – He hates women because he is homosexual? His mentor was Gay Pope Francis, he’s following in his footsteps & now it’s all coming out of the closet – the Catholic Church is composed of gay men

Rasa Comment on this video – “Pope Leo’s LGBT Agenda: Vatican Abandoning Christ”?  by John-Henry Westen

ok let’s get things STRAIGHT. There are two edges to this sword. One, homosexuaity is not a sin in the New Religion I am inspired to compose. BUT & it’s a BIG but – to have a 99% homosexual Church – the CC – is a SIN because Jesus did not ask that all his disciples be homosexuals. And that is what the CC fostered by disallowing Priests marriage. It became the go-to place for homosexuals & boy molesters to find a safe haven, cushiony job & status they did not deserve. Obviously Francis was a homosexual. And now I bet your bippy Lame Leo is one as well. So they both pushed/push their agenda, POV, their orientation, into the Catholic philosophy, doctrine, theology etc. They have come out of the closet {at last!} so now the mask is off – Leo is ADMITTING what they were all along – a homosexual Church – we all knew it on some level but denied it or tolerated it. Yes, a few Priests were not gay – our Lithuanian Priests all had ‘secret’ wives – we accepted it. But we who have talked to like 50 Priests noticed they swish & swash, they mince their words, they fly with the birds, & we did not condemn them for it. But once we found out they did not just make it with each other – they were hurting children – the gig was up. We then realized their entire Church was a pack of lies, their rules all lies, their dictates for their own convenience, & we left the Church. We did not leave Jesus, Mary, the Saints or the Sacraments; we left the men & their corrupt, filthy Institution – which is doomed – & good bye forever. I am saying the Holy Mass at home & suggest everyone go ahead & ask Jesus & Mary to ordain you & say the Hoy Mass. You don’t need these clowns. ……..St. John Paul II said the Church CANNOT BE REFORMED–the Third Secret says so-It is FINISHED. You said Lame Leo should excommunicate James Martin – but he is like him & should remove himself. The Smiling Shark cannot, will not, improve the Church – He is part of the problem. If St. John Paul II could not fix the Church – he said so – then who can? No one. It’s over.

You strict Catholics are all taking, talking, talking about what is going on & the problems. What’s the use? It is shrinking, dwindling, imploding. Pews getting empty, no more nuns, monks, seminaries empty. Now what? The pedophiles are no longer applying to be Priests – it’s not a safe haven for them any more, & as they leave, the Priesthood disappears, as nobody wants to follow their gay rules. Myself personally by the Grace of God, have moved on. Good bye chaos, hello sanity.
