Papa Africa.
The modern widespread and generally occidental phenomena of
divorce and separation is completely unparalleled and in this post modern era
the the authorities are left with nothing but biased recourseto the victim
complex in favour of the femine. The breakdown of the nuclear family sounds the
death knell for western civilisation. The odds are stacked against separated
males. Even so groups like Fathers for Justice are missing the point. Having
once seperated from my wife I know that the involvement of Third Parties makes
things immeasurably more difficult as such I empathise deeply with groups like
Fathers for Justice who are willing to go to seemingly endless ends in order to
draw attention to their desperate plight. If society was truly impartial seeing
the traditionally exocentric masculine exhibiting such behaviour out of an
authentic spirit of genuinley aggrieved violation at the hands of external
juridical structures some very load alarm bells should be ringing in
society. When the zeitgeist is so definitvley
stacked in favour of the feminine by the language of rights and militant
feminism calm, dispassionate discourse goes out of the window.
Men will go to any measures in this foreign, brutal and
often ruthless emotional topography.
However although we
must love them with all of our heart and soul and die for them if
necessary our children do not belong to
us but to God, however we understand Him or Her. An adequate meta narrative
must be constructed for the family and society. In an ideal world marriage
would be forever but children are effectively on loan from God; borne out by
the self- evident terrestrial Truth that one day they will fly the nest. Our
kids are not our possession or extensions of our selves. If we treat them as
commodities no wonder it hurts our ego so much when we are deprived of them.
Nowadays families come in all shapes and sizes. If all that
we have is not to crumble an anthropology steeped in the family, as defined by
genuine charity and not merely the narrowness of blood ties, must be
constituted. In this respect we must humbly look to the Third World for
illumination, where ever present terrestrial realities such as death shatter
all selfish misconceptions.
From the point of view of the largest organised perspective
upon Earth an African or Latin American pope cannot be far off.
After
the unleashing of the Spriit with John Paul II we needed a transitional caretaker
pope who would ensure that we reatained what needed retaining, the
"Milk" that Paul describes. Nowwe look to a future in which we are given
real spiritualmeat.
