“It is a mistake to maintain that woman’s rights are the same as man’s. Women in war or Parliament are outside their proper sphere & their position there would be the desperation & ruin of society. Woman, created as man’s companion, must so remain...always under his power” THREAD
“With religion’s decline, cultured women have lost their sense of shame along w/ their piety. Many, in order to take up tasks ill-befitting their sex, took to imitating men. Others abandoned the duties of wives, for which they were formed, to be cast into the current of life”
“[Wifely work outside the home is] the debasing of the womanly character and the dignity of motherhood—of the whole family—as a result of which the husband suffers the loss of his wife, the kids of their mother, and the home and family of an ever watchful guardian...(continues)”
“...this false liberty and unnatural equality w/ the husband is to the detriment of the woman herself, for if the woman descends from her regal throne [in Christian homes], she will soon be reduced to the old state of slavery & become as among the pagans a mere instrument of man”
“To abuse the years of childhood and limited strength of women is grossly wrong. Mothers...should work in the home or its immediate vicinity. It is an INTOLERABLE ABUSE—to be abolished at all cost—for mothers...to be forced to engage in gainful occupations outside the home”
“Communism is characterized by the rejection of any link that binds woman to the family and the home, and her emancipation is claimed as a basic principle. She is withdrawn from the family and the care of the kids...the care of home and kids then devolves upon the collectivity”
“Has woman’s position been thereby improved? Equality of rights w/ man brought her abandonment of home, where she reigned queen & her subjection to the same work strain and hours, entailing depreciation of her true dignity & the solid foundation of her rights—her feminine role”
“We see a woman who in order to augment her husband’s earnings, betakes herself to a factory, leaving her house abandoned during her absence. The house, untidy and small perhaps before, becomes even more miserable for lack of care”
WOW, EVEN V2 JOINS THE 20th CENTURY POPES IN CONDEMNING WIFELY NON-DOMESTIC WORK:
“The kids, especially the younger ones, need the care of their mother at home. This domestic role MUST BE SAFELY PRESERVED, though the legitimate social progress of women should not be underrated”
“[Even] in the glorified state...in humans the difference of sex exercises an important influence, much deeper than ethnic differences: the latter do not affect the human as intimately as the difference of sex...the effect of God’s Will ab initio: male and female He created them”
“Having to abandon [wifely] tasks in order to take up paid work outside the home is wrong from the point of view of the good of society and of the family when it contradicts or hinders these primary goals of the mission of a mother.”
