Men

Christ the Man is the salvation of the world.  Society needs Christ-like men today for salvation.  Unfortunately families are breaking down because real men are few and far between.  True masculinity is waning in the culture.


In a wide-ranging interview Cardinal Raymond Burke used frank language to express his grave concerns about the way in which the Catholic Church has been damaged by radical feminism. He also addressed, with a candor rarely heard from pastors, sexual immorality and liturgical abuse.
“The radical feminism which has assaulted the Church and society since the 1960s has left men very marginalized,” the cardinal told Matthew James Christoff, founder of ‘The New Emangelization’, an evangelizing mission focused on men.


“Unfortunately, the radical feminist movement strongly influenced the Church, leading the Church to constantly address women’s issues at the expense of addressing critical issues important to men; the importance of the father, whether in the union of marriage or not; the importance of a father to children; the importance of fatherhood for priests; the critical impact of a manly character; the emphasis on the particular gifts that God gives to men for the good of the whole society,” said Cardinal Burke. “So much of this tradition of heralding the heroic nature of manhood has been lost in the Church today.”


The former head of the Vatican’s highest court said, “Sadly, the Church has not effectively reacted to … destructive cultural forces” such as sexual immorality, feminism and family breakdown, and has instead “become too influenced by radical feminism and has largely ignored the serious needs of men.”
