ALTAR+CATION: The Musical!

TERTULLIAN (155-240 AD) - “THE FATHER OF LATIN CHRISTIANITY”

Woman is a temple built over a sewer... God’s sentence hangs over all your sex and His punishment weighs down upon you... Woman, you are the gate to hell.

SAINT ALBERTUS MAGNUS (1200-1280 AD) DOMINICAN THEOLOGIAN

One must be on one’s guard with every woman, as if she were a poisonous snake and the horned devil. Thus in evil and perverse doings, woman is cleverer than man.  Her feelings drive woman toward every evil, just as reason impels man toward all good.

ST. AUGUSTINE (354-430 AD), BISHOP OF HIPPO, THEOLOGIAN

Woman does not possess the image of God in herself but only when taken together with the male who is her head... I fail to see what use woman can be to man, if one excludes the function of bearing children.

MARTIN LUTHER (1483-1546 AD) - ROMAN CATHOLIC AUGUSTINIAN MONK, PROTESTANT REFORMER

If they (women) become tired or even die, that does not matter.  Let them die in childbirth, that’s why they are there.

 SAINT THOMAS AQUINAS (1225-1274 AD) - CATHOLIC PRIEST, THEOLOGIAN, DOMINICAN RELIGIOUS ORDER

Since any supremacy of rank cannot be expressed in the female sex, which has the status of an inferior, that sex cannot receive ordination.
