Women Taking Over Religion - New Archbishop of Canterbury

 


 Sarah Mullally is the new "Pope" of England

From William Bond: 

Hi Rasa 

I have also wondered why people with crazy ideas like that of Alex Jones & David Icke have a strong following while are more reasonable ideas that women should rule the world and that God is female are rejected. And thinking about it, I think the problem is our lack of power.  

Patriarchy is supported by people because they see it as powerful. After all men have been ruling our world for thousands of years and today all religions are patriarchal religions. So in the end the people will support the winners and that has been patriarchy. So it is a catch 22, people will support matriarchy if is shows it is powerful, but it can only be powerful if people support it.  

So I think your Fatima belief is on the right track, because the only way we can make people interested in our ideas is to perform miracles. Which is something I have attempted myself. I have read many positive thinking books and been interested in Christian Science. So it seems to me that if we accept God is female and She is the ONE and therefore all powerful. And She loves us all unconditionally. Then, if we have faith in Her power and unconventional love for us all, then surely we can perform miracles. But I’m afraid I have not been able to make his work, my faith is not strong enough. 

 But to me that is the only way forward, if we cannot bring MotherGod into our lives to perform many miracles, then no one is going to take us seriously.    William

 Rasa says:































          Good question – why we can’t move ahead faster. It’s frustrating. I think we are moving closer to Female Dominance so slowly that right now it’s hard to see it, like a condition you don‘t notice until it stares you in the face.

                      

          We cannot even begin to see Matriarchy until the leadership in a country is over the 50% mark. That percent is EQUAL but being that women are by nature superior to men – the dreadful thing happens as soon as they have equality the scales will tip in their favor & they will begin to dominate.

          The reason it’ll take so long is men have been working on their system thousands of years, to squash women down. It’s a strong system. So it will not take thousands but hundreds of years to reverse it, which if you look at it that way, it’s not too long.

          You mention Patriarchal religion. I shared so many videos with statistics of how all the major Patriarchal Churches are shutting down – including th Catholic Church. They are antiquated, obsolete, & n one wants to listen to their bullshit any more. Religion is the FOUNDATION of Patriarchy - its ideology! The main reason is the uprising of women – but they don’t see it that way.  So big changes are occurring. People don’t even realize what’s happening, but it’s happening.     Rasa

 

Pete Jackson steps in:

Very true what you say, Rasa.  Getting there really is a slow boat to China!  Scratch that, it is more like a a slow TRAIN to China, which is even slower than getting there by boat, lol.  And it is also nonlinear as well, with many fits, starts, detours, and temporary setbacks, especially right now at this particular moment in history.  But regardless of that, the ultimate bottom line is that the progress of Women is still nonetheless moving in a forward direction in any case, at least in the long run, God willing.  Slowly but surely, it IS happening, even if we don't obviously see it as it is happening. The Rubicon has already been crossed, in fact.  (Probably sometime around 2012, which was IMHO the real esoteric meaning of the "2012 phenomenon" and the "Age of Aquarius".)

 

As the joke I often like to say:

MAN:  "You know, honey, we did win nearly every single battle of the gender war."

 

WOMAN:  "Yes, I know, dear.  And that's also irrelevant.  Remember, you can win every battle and still lose the war.  In fact, you already lost the war before the war even began."

 

William Bond reveals:

Yes, I agree, Rasa, that patriarchal religions are in decline because of corruption, sex-scandals and the attack by atheism. Unfortunately, patriarchal religions have given God a bad name and atheism makes use of this. We can see this in books like, “The God Delusion”, by Richard Dawkins who takes the worst aspects of patriarchal religions to disprove the existence of God. So we do need matriarchal religions to demonstrate that god is not as portrayed by patriarchal religions, but She is a loving God who cares for us all.

 

Another problem with patriarchal religions is that they discourage any communication with God. We see this in Islam which states, “There is no God but Allah, and Mohammed is his ONLY prophet.” So because they claim Mohammed is the only prophet of God anyone else claiming to communicate with God is condemned as a blasphemer. Christianity also discourages communication with God, you can get away with it if you are a priest and don’t say anything controversial. But if you are not a priest and a woman and claim to talk to God or spirit, then at one time she can be condemned as a witch and burnt at the stake. It’s true that Joan of Arc got away with claiming she talked to God for awhile, because she supported the King of France. But even she was captured and sold to the English, who then burnt her at the stake as a witch. 

 

In Britain the last woman to be convicted of witchcraft was Helen Duncan, a Scottish spiritualist in 1944. The reason she was charged and convicted was that she was too good. The battleship HMS Barham was sunk by a German U-boat but the Admiralty tried to keep the sinking a secret. But when dead sailors from HMS Barham turned up at Helen Duncan’s seances it forced the Admiralty to admit to the sink of HMS Barham. So Helen Duncan was prosecuted under the Witchcraft Act of 1735, to prevent her from revealing any more military secrets. 

 

This is why patriarchal religions don’t encourage communication with God, because women make far better mediums than men and they don’t want female mediums, contradicting the teachings of patriarchal religions. But this won’t be a problem for matriarchal religions who will want to speak directly with God. This will make matriarchal religions popular with the common people who also want to be able to talk to God and will welcome the chance to do this through mediums in matriarchal churches. 

 

So matriarchal religions can restore the good name of God which has been denigrated by patriarchal religions. And they can also make it possible for the people to communicate with God once again and receive Her help and guidance. 

 

Witchcraft Act of 1735 was not repealed until 1951!

 

Helen Duncan (1897–1956) was a Scottish medium famously convicted under the Witchcraft Act of 1735 in London in April 1944, becoming the last person in Britain to be imprisoned under this law. During WWII, authorities feared her seances, where she produced "ectoplasm," could reveal national secrets, such as the D-Day plans. 

Key Facts About the 1944 Trial:

·                                 The Arrest: Following a Portsmouth seance in January 1944, where she allegedly conjured a deceased sailor, she was arrested along with others.

·                                 The Charges: She was tried at the Old Bailey for "pretending to exercise or use human conjuration" (fraudulent spiritualism).

·                                 Wartime Concerns: The prosecution was heavily motivated by national security concerns, specifically that she might reveal the secret plans for the upcoming D-Day landings.

·                                 The Sentence: Convicted on April 3, 1944, she was sentenced to nine months in HMP Holloway, https://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/HistoryofScotland/Helen-Duncan-Scotlands-last-witch/ Historic UK reports.

·                                 Churchill's Reaction: Prime Minister Winston Churchill was famously unimpressed, calling the case "obsolete tomfoolery". 

Despite being branded a fraud by many, she maintained a devoted following, notes https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-18456106 BBC News. Her conviction, which occurred right before the Allied invasion of Europe, is considered a unique moment where mystical activities intersected with wartime espionage fears. The case helped lead to the repeal of the Witchcraft Act in 1951, says https://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/HistoryofScotland/Helen-Duncan-Scotlands-last-witch/ Historic UK. 

 

From Rasa to William & Pete,

                   Yes indeed, God is not bad nor does She cease to exist because of the sins of mankind – what a thought, how ridiculous. People are evil, religion is stupid, therefore there is no God. The most stupid thing is the person who wrote that.

          One can see the decline of Patriarchal religion in more than one way; yes – the Catholic Church is sickeningly corrupt. It’s been demonic since the middle ages – Iron Maiden & all that. Simony, nepotism, living in luxury & debauchery while holding down poor people making them believe they are the bad guys.

Atheists have from the beginning, also, attacked religion as in spite f its evils many get savedl

          Then finally the sex scandal:

The Boston Globe won the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service. Their investigative team (Spotlight) published reports starting in early 2002 that broke open the sex scandals within the Catholic Church, specifically focusing on the Archdiocese of Boston.

The first item has been overwhelming sine the Middle Ages. The second item has been since the beginning of Patriarchy. The third item is recent & has a definite point of origin which you can believe or dismiss, whatever you want – but I caused it through 3 months of activities & prayers – Things such as I had never done in my life & never will again, as explained elsewhere.

But there is a fourth factor: women.

 

{internet :} “Historically, Catholic and general Christian church attendance has skewed female, with women often comprising 55%–58% of congregations. However, recent 2025 data shows a significant reversal in the U.S., with men (43%) outpacing women (36%) in weekly church attendance. Hispanic Catholic congregations in the U.S. previously showed a 55% female and 45% male split.

·                                  Global Context: Despite the shift in some US data, global studies, such as Pew Research Center, have generally found that women are more religious and more likely to attend services.”

 

Statistics show percentage wise men are increasing because women are decreasing – It is primarily the WOMEN who are leaving these Churches. 

And it is they – not the men – that bring the family, children to Church & into the Patriarchal religion which they are now NOT DOING.

I have shared many of the videos that present the facts that the Christian {Patriarchal} Churches across America are shutting down at ‘alarming’ rates.

Even those Mega Churches that looked so powerful:

{internet :} “World-famous male and female mega church televangelists have utilized television and digital media to build global ministries, often promoting prosperity theology or charismatic movements. Key figures include Joel Osteen, Benny Hinn, and Kenneth Copeland (male), alongside prominent female leaders like Joyce Meyer & Paula White-Cain.”

But instead of growing – they are declining:

{internet:}  Mega-churches are experiencing a decline in the U.S., with their growth stalling around 2010 and accelerating post-COVID-19. While still influential, many have seen attendance drop to 50% of pre-pandemic levels. Challenges include high staff turnover, reliance on a single founder, and a shift towards smaller, more intimate worship settings.

Rasa says - Reasons, reasons, reasons. Everything but the truth. Just like the end of the Cold War & Communism, they give  a bunch of reasons, all except my speech before the White House June 16, 1978 – where Our Lady of Fatima’s Power was released;

Like they claim female body buiding was started by the Feminist movement, when in fact it started from my Esquire & Playboy articles.

So the FACT of these Churches declining is as plain as the nose on your face, which you can’t see: Women are sick of the bullshit of men, men telling them what reality consists of, the difference between good & bad, how we should behave, dress, what lifestyle we follow. We finally had enough. We could see the writing on the wall & it said,

“Woman, you are our slave – you follow us”

and we piss on that wall & in the New Religion I say, “Woman, Thou Art God,” – worship the God within. God is in you. Follow your own instinct, zeitgeist, rules, make your own choices, decide for yourself what life is about & how to live it.”

And so I now conclude Wiliam & Pete, the REASON the Churches of America are DYING is because they are Patriarchal & Patriarchy is on its way out, while Matriarchy is coming in. Yes, slow, yes, no one is talking about it – yes it’s not on the table. It isn’t time to be OPEN about it for the majority, but the prophets – like us can shout it from the rooftops. The ‘Age of Kali’ is over, their grip is not completely flax but it is loose.

A seismic shift takes time, but it does happen. Evolution is not instant but it takes place - look at the signs. Religion is one of them. When women are in power we worship God as Mother, when men took over they changed it to Father & the female priesthood to male. They changed the rules, the concepts like sex - Sex was Sacred – they made it dirty & forbidden to women while men did what they wanted as they were in charge. See how that has disintegrated?  ‘Me too’ & sex scandals? Actually started in 1983 with the Manhattan Beach Child Care Center, CA.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McMartin_preschool_trial

There were no convictions but years later they did find a TUNNEL under the school which children had talked about but no one until later had ever found!  The abuses apparently took place on the other side of that tunnel.  I saw two different accunts – One is this – About parents who ordered a more thorough digging:

https://cwlibrary.childwelfare.gov/discovery/fulldisplay?docid=alma991001300609707651&context=L&vid=01CWIG_INST:01CWIG&lang=en&search_scope=PublicCat&adaptor=Local%20Search%20Engine&tab=catalog&query=title,exact,Journal%20of%20Psychohistory,%20,AND&mode=advanced&offset=0

I also saw many years ago a former head of FBI in Los Angeles {a video on the internet, saw it around 2007 or earlier} who said he commissioned a dig, found a tunnel, & on the other side was an area outdoors where things could have taken place.  It looked like a ritual abuse altar or stage. They were on their way to building something new & the entire evidence was buried.

This case began the American hysteria of accusing child care centers & individual men for child abuse - some legit, some not. But it brought attention to the issue – although there seems to be a COVER UP in this case, {it was really botched up in the way they questioned kids also} it did start people wondering about men & child abuse & here it was in America.

Back to the original subject, the downfall of man’s religion is the beginning of females creating their own. Now I know why Mother God told me in 2019 to get to it. I was slow, she pushed me. I am to help women find their own way, their own feet, their own vision. They have to start somewhere, so the New Religion & Order will give them a start. There aren’t many places they can go for a breath of Female Empowerment, are there?    {End}  Rasa Von Werder

 

From William Bond:

Hi Rasa

I think one of the reasons why patriarchy has survived for so long it that they have successfully eliminated all opposition to it. So now, even though people can clearly see the faults of patriarchy they find it hard to come up with a credible alternative to it. We see this with atheism, yes, it so easy for atheist to point out all the contradictions and stupidity of patriarchal religions but what they have to offer instead, is not much better. They claim our universe and life on Earth was created by a accident and so we live in a pointless and meaningless world. So they offer very little hope for our world. 

 

The only real alternative to patriarchy we have seen in recent years is feminism and it has been very successful in empowering women. But it doesn’t challenge the patriarchal status-quo as it claims men and women are the same and the end result is that feminist think that if women want power they have to act and behave like patriarchal men. 

 

From Rasa: OK feminism is the only answer? The only world known, famous/recognized answer but you might have included my efforts in the website “Woman Thou Art God” & the book of the same name in 2019 & dozens of articles on my website & blog re the New Religion for Women. This is not universally recognized but it has had a major impact in some ways. The movement Femen in the Ukraine comes directly out of the website “Woman Thou Art God” with women jumping onto Cathedral altars topless with writings on their chest “I am God” - & they demonstrated topless next to Prime Minister Putin – at Muslim male gatherings, jumping on stage half naked & all that. Don’t sweep me under the rug.  I don’t sweep you under the rug although you are not world famous. I give you credit for being a prophet & although you are not in the mainstream you have influenced many people, such as Pete & myself – we follow in your footsteps so there is an impact.   Rasa

 

William: It does seem to me the Catholic Church has two choices. It either continues to decline or does what some Protestant Churches do and allow women priests. This must be a big problem for the Catholic Church hierarchy because when they look at what is going on in the Church of England. It is clear that by allowing women to become priests, it is allowing women to take over. This may be more of a problem for the Catholic Church because they worship the Virgin Mary. Women priests in the Catholic Church may identify with the Virgin Mary and attract women back into the Church by venerating the Virgin Mary even more.

 

Rasa says: They call it veneration of Holy Mary, not worship, but it’s basically the same They do not give her credit for being God, but Jesus is the one & only God in their religion, She a mere mortal – they stress that & the present Pope, ‘Lame Leo’ has stripped her of some honors like ‘Co-Redeemer’ & ‘Mediatrix of all Graces” with Jesus. In my religion Jesus & Mary are equals, both God, as are all legitimate Gurus & Avatars. All Enlightened souls have the right to be called ‘God on Earth’ – although God is inside all creation, not all people manifest their God.

When we get my Church going, there will be big dealings with the Virgin Mary & all female representations of God – including the Hindu Goddesses. We will downplay too much masculinity & feature the Feminine Divine.

PS There is no hope for the Catholic Church, it cannot be reformed. Too late. As an Institution it is as dead as a doornail, its days are numbered.   Rasa

 

William:  I think the Mega Churches are missing a trick and forget why the Christian Church was popular with the common people. The reason is that Jesus taught that God is a loving God and he demonstrated in his own lifetime that he was a very loving person. I know many Christian preachers do talk about love but they don’t mean it and the people are not fooled by it. They need to learn from Princess Diana, the establishment were shocked by how popular she was with the people after she died. But the reason for her overwhelming popularity was that she was a woman of high status who genuinely loved the people. Her love wasn’t a fake and the common people were aware of this. So I think the people are crying out for a religion of unconditional love with a God who loves us all and of course it makes more sense to have a loving God who is female, rather than male. 

 

Rasa: Yes, Diana was a symbol of love & kindness, that is why she was loved. You realize I got her out of Purgatory? She was there 28+ years, my book  “Royals Ascend into Heaven” is a free PDF on my website.

 

William:  I think one of the reasons why patriarchy is dying is that we are now in the age of information. In the past, priests could get away with corruption and the abuse of minors, but it’s not so easy today to do this. Patriarchy today is being exposed for what it is and it’s becoming impossible to cover it up. So there is a opening for women if they can forget about trying to act and behave like men. If women can follow their maternal instinct and behave like genuine caring and loving people and not get involved in corruption or the abuse of power. Then the people will want women like this to rule over them or be priests in their religions. 

 

Rasa: That is one way of looking at it, but remember, it is a contradiction to what you yourself said. You have said that instead of women continuing to love men, forgive them, be soft on them, they should stop & teach men to love. It’s a question of what is love? How do you express it, manifest it? Women have loved men too much & hated themselves & their sisters – which is what men wanted. This type way is shown us in the myth of Durga/Kali – a true myth, a prediction of what is to come. The 3 male gods could not control the demon Mahishasura {Patriarchy!}

 

          Durga transforms herself into Kali

 

{internet:}   In Hindu mythology, Goddess Durga transformed into the fierce form of Kali to destroy the demon Mahishasura, who was terrorizing the celestial realms and was invincible to men. This transformation occurred when Durga's rage culminated during the battle, symbolizing the need for destructive energy to annihilate evil. Kali, emerging from Durga's forehead, brought a more destructive, intense aspect to the fight, often associated with annihilating clones or the demonic nature of Mahishasura. 

Key Aspects of the Transformation and Battle:

·                                 The Cause: Mahishasura, a shape-shifting demon, caused chaos, leading {Rasa: male gods} gods to invoke the divine feminine energy to stop him.

·                                 The Transformation: In the Markandeya Purana, Kali emerges from Durga's forehead, embodying her intense wrath and bloodlust, acting as a more powerful, destructive, and fierce aspect of Durga.

·                                 The Conflict: While Durga is often depicted as the ten-armed slayer of Mahishasura (Mahishasuramardini), the transformation into Kali specifically represents the divine force required when the battle becomes dire and requires ultimate destruction to ensure victory.

·                                 Symbolism: This transition highlights the adaptability of the Divine Mother—moving from the protective/nurturing Durga to the destructive/fierce Kali to restore balance.

·                                 Victory: The battle lasted nine nights and days, ending in the victory of good over evil, celebrated as Navaratri and Vijayadashami. ……………………………

Rasa continues:

In the beginning, Durga appeared with beauty & seduced Mahishasura, but over time this did no good as more & more of these demons appeared - his bloodline perpetuated. This is what’s happened on earth – we’ve given in to men, worked on our beauty, seduced them, & produced more & more demons – the part of their population that always rises to the top, while nice guys finish last. And finally, the only way we can win is go back to square one – the myth says male extinction. She destroys their bloodline – laps up their blood! This is a long time hence, the ultimate solution but meanwhile it encourages women to be forecefu rather than soft.

Now you William are preaching we not be like men – we should love. Not dicks in skirts. Which is it? Be loving or stop loving & teach them to love? It seems too late to teach them to love, they are too far gone – you cannot teach a demon; they are unredeemable, they will never repent. You can only do exorcism on them – remove them.

You yoursef have said that men see only winners & losers & they do not believe in equality. How do we become winners? Take a look at what Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. did with the blacks in the South. He was not soft. He used action, activity, strong words, strong marches, sit ins & the like. They refused to go on buses that made them sit in back. They stood against police & fire hoses. They prayed on steps of government building, they marched into white neighborhoods, they were beaten with clubs, some died. They did things the blacks never had done before – it was hard, it was dangerous. They showed love for THEMSELVES      where previously they cowered & gave into the white man. It was passive aggression, like Ghandi.

What demon conquerers love is sweet, kind, passive people. These they can rob of all their resources, like the Conquistadors did to the Indians & Aborigines & all defenseless peoples.

What bothers me is first you preach women to move ahead & teach men to love, then you preach women to be nurturing, maternal, kind hearted, not dicks in skirts while they struggle their way into politics. Which is it?

The truth is - Being passive, feminine, nurturing will have men seeing us as they always have in the past – suckers, easy pickins’, ready to be exploited, there for the asking, scared rabbits, unable to defend ourselves.

No, we have to stand arm & arm with sisters like the blacks did, sing together in our Churches {our homes} ‘We shall overcome’ – watch our sister’s back – not compete for the Massah but kick his ass. There are many ways. I am sure that Sarah Mullally has not been a passive, frightened female. She must have fought her battles on the way up.

Yes, this is a war. It’s not an easy fix. The blacks in the South were slaves for generations, conditioned to fear the white man. The Hindus in India were hypnotized to accept the English as their superiors for ages. Queen Victoria called India ‘the Jewel in her Crown,’ The Maharajahs even got together – dozens of them in a big ceremony to crown some English clown as their Emperor.

Women have been suppressed longer than that – thousands of years. And it isn’t going to be an overnight fix. Even though we are superior we are like the big elephant that was taught since a baby that that chain & spike in the ground is enough to hold him. He believes in that chain & spike & he doesn’t pull it out. But some day, sooner or later he will.

I tried to show women their strength in ‘Woman Thu Art God’ – the website that proves female superiority. Ashley Montagu wrote a book about it, 1953. Dr. Bryan Sykes has proven male extinction in 2004 – but all of this has not been enough. The work goes on.    Rasa

William Bond continues:  Just one think I forgot to mention about Helen Duncan, the prosecution claimed she was a fake medium. Yet the irony is that they reason why she was arrested was because the authorities feared that because of her psychic abilities she would reveal more war secrets. If she was a fake, like they claimed, the authorities would have ignored her, in the time of war.    William

          Rasa:  Of course, William, it was a frame up. Lock her up so she can’t spill the beans re D-Day, then let her out, say whatever she wants, lol.

 

Hi Rasa and Pete

I just wrote about women taking over the Church of England and this is now being confirmed. 

 

Sarah Mullally has become the first woman to serve as Archbishop of Canterbury, officially confirmed in a legal confirmation service at St Paul’s Cathedral on 28 January 2026.  She succeeds Justin Welby, who resigned in 2024 over his handling of a child abuse scandal. As the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury, she is the spiritual leader of the Church of England and the worldwide Anglican Communion.

 

So it means women are taking over the Church of England but how successful they will be depends on how they behave. It they are like female politicians and act and behave like, “dicks in frocks” then nothing will be achieved. But if they follow their maternal instincts and act and behave like caring, loving feminine women then they might save the Church of England.  William

 

Just to add another bit I saw about Sarah Mullally as the new Archbishop of Canterbury.

 

The appointment marks a historic milestone for the Church of England, though it has drawn criticism from conservative factions within the global Anglican Communion who oppose women in Episcopal roles. Mullally, a former Chief Nursing Officer for England and NHS administrator, brings extensive leadership experience in both healthcare and church governance. She has pledged to confront past safeguarding failures and uphold the Church’s commitment to justice, inclusion, and compassion.

I really hope she means what she says about  justice, inclusion, and compassion.    William

 

          How is the Archbishp of Canterbury Chosen? {internet:}

 

The Archbishop of Canterbury is chosen through a multi-stage process led by the Crown Nominations Commission (CNC), a Church of England body that shortlists candidates, sends recommendations to the Prime Minister, who then advises the Monarch (King/Queen) for formal approval, and finally, the College of Canons at Canterbury Cathedral elects the chosen candidate, followed by royal confirmation. The CNC, comprising various church and diocesan members, interviews candidates, selecting one or two names for the Prime Minister, who forwards the preferred choice to the Monarch for final, formal appointment. 

 

Why did the previous Archbishop of Canterbury – Justin Welby - resign?  {internet:}

 

 Justin Welby resigned as the Archbishop of Canterbury on November 12, 2024, following an independent investigation—the Makin Review—that found he failed to ensure a proper investigation into a prolific child sexual abuse scandal, allowing the abuser to continue his actions for years. 

His resignation was driven by his failure to act on allegations against John Smyth, a prominent Christian lawyer who subjected over 100 boys and young men to "brutal and horrific" physical and sexual abuse over four decades. 

Here is a breakdown of what Justin Welby was accused of and what he was found to have done wrong:

Key Failings and Accusations

·                                 Failure to Report to Authorities: The Makin Review found that from August 2013, shortly after Welby became Archbishop, the Church of England knew "at the highest level" about the abuses, yet failed to formally report them to police in the UK or authorities in South Africa.

·                                 Lack of Curiosity and "Cover-up": The review highlighted a "distinct lack of curiosity" shown by senior church officials, including Welby, and stated that the church’s response was "wholly ineffective" and amounted to a "cover-up".

·                                 Delayed Action: Although Welby was informed of the abuse in 2013, he did not take sufficient action to ensure a robust investigation, allowing Smyth to continue his abuse in Africa until his death in 2018.

·                                 "Personal and Institutional Responsibility": In his resignation statement, Welby admitted he "personally failed" to ensure that the claims of abuse were investigated properly. He initially resisted calls to resign, but faced mounting pressure, including a petition signed by over 14,000 people and calls from senior bishops. 

The John Smyth Scandal

John Smyth was a barrister who ran Christian summer camps in the 1970s and 1980s, where he beat boys with a garden cane. The abuse was "horrific," with victims receiving hundreds of strokes, sometimes causing them to bleed and need medical attention. After being exposed internally in 1982, Smyth moved to Zimbabwe and later South Africa, where he continued to abuse children. 

Context of Resignation

·                                 "Too Busy": In a later interview, Welby expressed that the sheer scale of safeguarding issues—another case among many—meant he did not act with the necessary urgency, though he conceded this was "a reason – not an excuse".

·                                 Failed to Meet Victims: Welby apologized for failing to meet with victims of Smyth's abuse quickly, only doing so years after the 2017 documentary that brought the abuse to public attention.

·                                 "Deep Sense of Shame": Welby noted that the findings of the review renewed his "long felt and profound sense of shame at the historic safeguarding failures of the Church of England". 

The Archbishop of York, Stephen Cottrell, and other church figures labeled his resignation "the right and honourable thing to do" to allow the Church to move towards a more victim-centered, independent safeguarding approach.

 

                   Who is Sarah Mullally?  {internet:}

 

Dame Sarah Mullally (63) is the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury, confirmed on January 28, 2026, as the first woman to lead the Church of England and the Anglican Communion. Formerly a nurse and the UK’s Chief Nursing Officer (1999–2004), she became a priest in 2002 and is known for her focus on safeguarding and gender equality.  {Rasa: She approves same-sex marriage also} 

 

Hi Rasa and Pete

I've just looked up the first women to become a Church of England priest. 

 

Angela Berners-Wilson is recognized as the first woman ordained as a priest in the Church of England.  She was ordained on 12 March 1994 at Bristol Cathedral, becoming the first in alphabetical order among 32 women ordained that day. Her ordination marked a historic milestone in the Church of England’s journey toward gender equality in clergy roles.

This means it just took over 30 years for a women to obtain the highest position in the Church of England. I wonder how the Roman Catholic hierarchy thinks about this? Do you think it will make them frighten to allow women priests.   William

 

Rasa:  Yes, men are scared to death of the Power of women – that’s why they have worked so hard to stop them.

 

  A Rejoinder from William Bond

 

          Hi Rasa

 

I just like to answer your criticism of my support for loving feminine women. Yes, I know the Suffragettes, Gandhi and Martin Luther King used passive aggression to empower themselves but they all worked within the patriarchal system. I think we need to challenge the whole of patriarchy and replace it with matriarchy. 

 

Yes, I agree patriarchy has taken over our world and ruled it through force, violence, intimidation and indoctrination. But the question we have to ask ourselves, do we really want to be ruled by cruel, violent and ruthless men? Yes it’s true the way to achieve wealth and power in our patriarchal world is to be assertive and ruthless but teaching women to act and behave like patriarchal men, is not going to make our world a better place. 

 

If we want to live in a more loving and compassionate world we have to invoke the power of love. Love is far more powerful than we think. People claim that money rules our world because people need money to buy things and survive and if we have lots of money we can buy power and influence. But there is something else we all want, even more than money and that is love. We all want and need love and if given a choice of living in a world of conflict, fear and hate or in a loving and caring world, we of course want to live in a loving world. So if that’s what we all want, why don’t we work together to create a loving world? Because patriarchy tells us that this is impossible. We are told only competitive, assertive and ruthless people are able to gain wealth and power and in this cruel world, “nice guys come last”. 

 

But but is this true? Is it possible for loving people get to rule our world? The answer to this is simple: If we are to ask people which type of rulers would you prefer? Ruthless, selfish and corrupt men who only care about themselves and are willing to start wars for the most trivial of reasons. Or would you prefer to be rule by loving and caring women who genuinely care about the people they rule? Any sensible people would far prefer loving and caring women rule them. 

 

But the reason why we don’t have caring women rule our world is that patriarchy has sold us a lie and that is, “love is a weakness”. But this is not true, as I have recently learnt. My wife is 90 years old and last year broke her wrist in a fall and so I have had to care and look after her. I’ve never had to do anything like this before in my life and found out just how hard it is to care for someone who has been disabled. I found it physically, mentally and emotionally very stressful. Yet billions of women are caring for others all over the world and we all take it for granted. And these women have to be very tough to work long hours working in the caring industry. 

 

So this is the choice we all have. Do we want to be ruled by ruthless, selfish and corrupt men or loving and caring women? But if we want to be ruled by loving women how do we get them into positions of power? We can only do that by refuting patriarchal lies. The point is that the vast majority of people do not want to be ruled by selfish, corrupt and lying politicians. But we have to accept this because no matter who we vote for, we still end up with a lying politician. So people become cynical and say things like; “How do we know when a politician is lying,” answer. “When you see his lips moving.” Which all suggests we are locked into a system where change seems to be impossible and the patriarchal system wants us to believe this. 

 

When we look at the patriarchal system we see that the worse types of people get into positions of power. But do we really want to live in a system like this? Of course not, any sensible people do not want this. So in theory, all the arguments for matriarchy has to be overwhelming favourable but modern female politicians throw away this big advantage by believing the patriarchal lie that; “love is a weakness”. So they act and behave like male politicians and become as corrupt and deceitful as what they are. So they fall in the patriarchal trap of never allowing people the choice between caring and loving women rulers and selfish and corrupt male rulers. 

 

Love is never a weakness when people are given the choice of being ruled by loving and caring women or selfish, uncaring and ruthless men. Women cannot compete against men for power by being assertive, violent and deceptive. They have to use feminine power which is the power of love and compassion. This is why we need a matriarchal movement so people know about this and if we can get enough people interested, then we can give people the choice of uncaring and corrupt patriarchy or loving and caring matriarchy. 

 

Also, men are not encouraged to learn how to love when they see it as a weakness. While many men fear love because they believe if they learn how to love they will become soft and weak. But if we have loving rulers who are in positions of power because they are loving people. Then men will then realize that love is not a weakness, and will want to learn from women how to love. 

 

Another point is that on a spiritual level, love in the power of the ONE. The universe is unite by love, so the universe is feminine in nature. Because a masculine universe would break apart and become chaotic because the masculine represents competition and aggression and cannot unite within itself. So love in the most powerful force in the universe as it is the power of unity and order. 

 

From Rasa to Answer the Previous

 

                   Hi William! That is a thousand word article! I cannot answer it all today as the last two days I neglected many things to create the article ‘Women Taking Over Religion.’ I want to do other things today. But I will ponder this, & here are the issues that should be clarified:

         

          What is love?

          How is love employed in time of war, when the enemy has all the advantages, such as laws in their favor, culture that says they are right, & a police force & military to push people into compliance?

          Did Martin Luther King Jr. employ love in the Civil Rights Movement? How would you describe his love? How was Rosa Parks using love when she refused to sit in the back of the bus - was arrested, fined, & she & her husband both lost their jobs. Explain her love.

          How was Mahatma Ghandi using love when he taught his countrymen to stand up to the British. Many Indians were killed – even massacred by the British military. In the end, he himself was martyred. How was he using & teaching love? Explain this love.

          We are asking here how does the underdog – the one defenseless, the one pushed down, use love in the lifting up of themselves & getting free from an oppressor?

          Sure, we all want loving & kind hearted leaders. Sure, we all want to be loved, accepted, tolerated, treated fairly – but how do we get up from the heel of the oppressor pushing us down – the tyrant who has no love, but the desire to use & exploit us at any cost & will even kill us for seeking freedom? How do we use love to get away from this oppressor, turn around & become the kind, benevolent leader?  Can you answer this?

Oh yes, & explain what exactly is a ‘dick in skirt’ or ‘dick in frock?’  What does she do, how does she act, & how should she act to be loving? Like if an enemy strikes her country should she say,

“No, don’t fight back. We love them. Let them do what they want to do.”

The twist is that for those who are leaders today - like Margaret Thatcher who you called a dick in skirt – they work in a land of Patriarchy with all its ills & evils. They cannot hug & kiss these demons & tell them ‘I love you.’ There could be many thoughts, many solutions, many ideas here. Let’s try to solve this.
