While researching something else we came across a story widely reported some time ago. The official Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano praised a television program called The Simpsons. We have never seen this program, but have it on good authority that it is coarse and unsuitable for a pure maiden. The Vatican paper itself refers to the "excessively crude language, the violence of certain episodes [and] some extreme choices by the scriptwriters." However it goes on to praise the program and uses these rather extraordinary words: "Rigid censors turn off the television but the more serious analysts praise the realism and intelligence of its scripts". What is horrifying about this is that an official voice of the Vatican itself is siding with the degenerate forces of the nastier elements of Western "pop culture" in mocking and undermining those who would keep their sacred hestia and hearthfire pure and free from ugliness and coarseness. They are "rigid censors" we are told, merely because they have the temerity to turn off the television - unlike the intelligent people, the "more serious analysts". Where will patriarchal Westerners turn for support in protecting their homes from coarseness? It seems only the more extreme fundamentalists with their inverted-lasciviousness provide any real support for mental cleanliness. Are we wrong in thinking modern patriarchy is very sick indeed? Christianity - sin-based though its theology is - seems to have failed badly in not understanding that foul language and coarseness are a moral and spiritual question. As we are told in The Gospel of Our Mother God:

5. But harsh thoughts harden the soul; coarse thoughts coarsen the soul; thoughts bound only to the things of clay burden the soul with heavy chains. 6. My children, I speak not in pictures, for truly these things are; and to be seen by all whose eyes may pierce the veil of illusion. 7. What maiden, receiving of her mother a fine and well-made house of well-wrought oak and stone and furnished by the skilful hand of love, will break the walls and furnishings, pour filthy waters into every place and bring swine to dwell in the most splendid chambers? 8. Will she not rather bring new things of beauty and precious works of love to add to those that lie already there? 9. Will she not keep away all dirt and defilement and protect it from all harm? 10. Knows she not that the thoughts of her mind pass not away, nor vanish into air?
