LOVE FOR WOMEN BY THE CHURCH FATHERS
Introduction:
It is embarrassing to give publicity to opinions pronounced by historical figures of recognized and profound wisdom, expressed in a distant past, which have taken root deeply in societies over the centuries, causing serious and irreparable harm to women, who represented nearly half of the planet’s inhabitants.
The Church, along with the fanatics who follow it, considers such publications an attack on the religious institution for disagreeing with its doctrines. I can assure you this is not the case, as these are not products of my imagination, but rather anathemas pronounced by those patriarchs, which were written into history. However, they have been vehemently concealed and denied, and are thus almost unknown. It is necessary that in this 21st century they be brought to light, as understanding these views helps to comprehend the ferocious misogyny they promoted, increasing the ancestral hatred towards the most beautiful creation of the universe: WOMEN.
"Adam was led into sin by Eve, not Eve by Adam. He who was led into sin by a woman should rightly be received by her as sovereign."
"A woman who does not believe and clings to her functions should be called a woman; but she who believes in God and devotes herself to His service will become a perfect man."
"A good woman is rarer than the phoenix. Woman is the devil’s gateway, the path of iniquity, the scorpion's sting."
"The most beautiful women are nothing but whitewashed tombs."
"Among all wild beasts, there is none more harmful than woman."
"Nothing so degrades a man’s spirit as the caresses of a woman."
"Women should neither be enlightened nor educated in any way. In fact, they should be segregated because they are the cause of insidious and involuntary erections in holy men."
"It is Eve, the temptress, whom we must beware of in every woman. I cannot see what utility a woman could serve for a man, apart from the function of bearing children."
"Nothing so lowers a man’s mind from its height as caressing women."
"Woman is the fuel of sin."
"Woman is a beast that is neither firm nor stable."
"A woman who seems to be a friend turns into an enemy and destroys the man. She steals his understanding, inclines his heart, softens his will, weakens his body, sullies his soul, empties his purse, destroys his reputation, makes him offend his neighbor, and lose God."
"This sex has poisoned our first father, who was also its husband and father. It deceived John the Baptist and led the valiant Samson to his death. In a way, it also killed the savior, for had its sin not occurred, our savior would not have needed to die. Woe to that sex, in which there is no fear, nor goodness, nor friendship, and which is more to be feared when loved than when hated!"
"Woman is the head of crime and the weapon of the devil."
"Woman is like a scorpion, ready to sting. She is Satan’s lance."
"From an axiological perspective, woman is the indecent, the filthy; morally, she is the instrument for bringing man down into evil. Man, on the other hand, is the good, the desirable, for he was created before woman to signify his superiority in dignity and governance."
"Strictly speaking, every woman is a monster of nature."
"The female sexual organs will also rise at the moment of resurrection, for that event will correct the defects of nature."
"As regards the nature of the individual, woman is defective and misbegotten, because the active power of the male seed tends to the production of a perfect likeness in the male sex. The production of a woman comes from a lack of active power."
"The Holy Spirit leaves a room when a married couple engages in sexual relations, as the sexual act shames God."
According to what has been stated, it is evident that, for these creators of Christianity and Catholicism, man is the only being worthy of worship. In their view, woman is the embodiment of the forces of evil, and her actions encompass the entire range of wickedness and sins.

Censorship and the Church in the 21st Century
The Roman Church, in its eagerness for censorship and in its desire to return to obscurantism, frowns upon and labels these statements as devilish creations of its enemies. It implies that if it had the power of bygone times, it would once again issue the same irritating and scandalous condemnations in the 21st century that it did in the past.Opinions of the Church Fathers
Ambrose of Milan (340 – 379)
"Marital life is incompatible with a career in the Church. Even a good marriage is slavery because of the woman.""Adam was led into sin by Eve, not Eve by Adam. He who was led into sin by a woman should rightly be received by her as sovereign."
"A woman who does not believe and clings to her functions should be called a woman; but she who believes in God and devotes herself to His service will become a perfect man."

"Woman is a sovereign plague, the devil’s dart. Through woman, the devil triumphed over Adam and made him lose paradise.""The most beautiful women are nothing but whitewashed tombs."
"Among all wild beasts, there is none more harmful than woman."

"A husband loves his wife because she is his wife, but he hates her because she is a woman.""Nothing so degrades a man’s spirit as the caresses of a woman."

Gregory the Great (540 – 604)
"Woman possesses the venom of an asp and the malice of a dragon.""A woman who seems to be a friend turns into an enemy and destroys the man. She steals his understanding, inclines his heart, softens his will, weakens his body, sullies his soul, empties his purse, destroys his reputation, makes him offend his neighbor, and lose God."
John of Damascus (675 – 749)
"Woman is a stubborn mule, a terrible worm in man’s heart, daughter of lies, canticle of hell. She expelled Adam from Paradise."Odo of Cluny (878 – 942)
"The beauty of a woman’s body comes only from the skin. In fact, if men could perceive what lies beneath the skin, they would be disgusted by women. Their beauty is really made of mucus, blood, fluid, and bile. If one thinks about what is inside the nose, the throat, or the belly, he finds only filth. Since we can’t stand touching mucus or excrement with our fingers, why should we desire to embrace a sack of filth?"Geoffroy of Vendôme (1032 – 1070)
"This sex has poisoned our first father, who was also its husband and father. It deceived John the Baptist and led the valiant Samson to his death. In a way, it also killed the savior, for had its sin not occurred, our savior would not have needed to die. Woe to that sex, in which there is no fear, nor goodness, nor friendship, and which is more to be feared when loved than when hated!"
Bernard of Clairvaux (1090 – 1153)
"Woman is the devil’s furnace; to live among women without sinning is a greater miracle than raising the dead."Anthony of Padua (1195 – 1231)
"Woman is the head of crime and the weapon of the devil."
Bonaventure (1221 – 1274)
"Woman is like a scorpion, ready to sting. She is Satan’s lance."
Thomas Aquinas (1225 – 1274)
"From an axiological perspective, woman is the indecent, the filthy; morally, she is the instrument for bringing man down into evil. Man, on the other hand, is the good, the desirable, for he was created before woman to signify his superiority in dignity and governance."
"Strictly speaking, every woman is a monster of nature."
"The female sexual organs will also rise at the moment of resurrection, for that event will correct the defects of nature."
"As regards the nature of the individual, woman is defective and misbegotten, because the active power of the male seed tends to the production of a perfect likeness in the male sex. The production of a woman comes from a lack of active power."
Pope Innocent III (1432 – 1492)
"The Holy Spirit leaves a room when a married couple engages in sexual relations, as the sexual act shames God."
Conclusion
Many of these enlightened figures of Christianity claim that the Bible says: "Woman is confusion, turning man into a beast." "One must flee from the company of women for three reasons: first, because she ensnares man. It is said that she is more bitter than death, a hunter’s snare, a fisherman’s net, and her hands are chains. The punishment for being close to women will be to descend to hell, and whoever avoids them will save his soul. Second, because they defile man; and third, because they strip man of wealth and virtue. Just as the dragon has poison in its tongue, so does woman have all her strength in her tongue."According to what has been stated, it is evident that, for these creators of Christianity and Catholicism, man is the only being worthy of worship. In their view, woman is the embodiment of the forces of evil, and her actions encompass the entire range of wickedness and sins.
