Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Woman´s Suffrage: A Lecture Delivered in the Catholic Church of Denver, Colorado, February 6, 1877 "I would have you know that the head of every man is Christ and the head of the woman is the man and the head of Christ is God; the woman is the glory of the man, for the man was not created for the woman but the woman for the man." - (1st Cor. xi, 13). Beloved brethren, so much has been said of late, here in Denver, about woman´s rights, so many meetings held, so many speeches made by women in churches, I could find no more appropriate occasion to consider if the proceedings which have been going on for the last few weeks, the extravagant claims madeby them be consistent with the teaching of the Bible. There is a class of Liberal Christians Who talk very loudly about the Bible, and pretend to follow the Bible, but during those long meetings, in those great speeches, did the friends of woman´s rights follow the Bible? Did they consult it? Did they quote any portion of it in defense of their claims? I am afraid ¬ if they did not, I will. Those strong minded women who are not satisfied with the disposition of Providence, and who wish to go beyond the condition of their sex, profess, no doubt, to be Christians. It would not be a good policy, in addressing the fair, gentle and pious sex to deny the authority of the Bible. As Christians then, they must admit the obligation to obey the law of God. What are the duties imposed upon women by the divine law? "Let women be subject to their husbands, as to the Lord, because the husband is the head of the woman as Christ is the head of the church. Therefore, as the church is subject to Christ, so also let women be to their husbands in all things." - (St. Paul to Eph. v. 22). "I will therefore, that men pray in every place In like manner the women also, in decent apparel, adorning themselves with modesty and sobriety, not with plaited hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly attire, but as it becometh women professing Godliness with good works. Let the women learn in silence, with all subjection, but I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to use authority over man, but to be in silence, (not an easy task) for Adam was first formed, then Eve.
