The Need for Confession, Not Concession The Church has in abundance all the bread and fish (true spiritual nourishment) that any soul could ever need. It is the sacred duty of its clergy, monastics, and faithful to refuse to offer stones and serpents in their place, as feminism would have us do. What we need is confession, not concession. Let us defend the Church on one hand, and administer to suffering souls from the treasury of the Church’s good gifts on the other. There are two areas of church life especially in need of confession at the present time. One is the translation of texts. This refers especially to the revision of liturgical and other texts to allow for “inclusive language” and “political correctness requirements.” The second is the question of women’s ordination either the deaconate or the priesthood. Both issues are very large, and proper treatment of each deserves its own book. However, some key issues can be mentioned here. The Inclusive Language Issue Before addressing inclusive language in the Church, we need to note three facts about the issue. First, the demand for inclusive, non-sexist, or politically correct language is not an authentic issue per se. It is an ideological tactic, a tool in the feminist subversion plan.51 Second, inclusive language is an impediment to clear writing and communication. It results in clumsy, cluttered tests that draw attention to construction rather than meaning. This eliminates the possibility of transparency, which is so desirable in good writing. Even in secular use, this tyranny should be fought. As James Kilpatrick wrote, “That was the King’s English eight centuries ago. I say, if it was good enough for Richard I, it’s good enough for me.”
