Joan and Jane: The Saint and the Traitor

Joan of Arc, the Patroness of Les Femmes, shines like a beacon of light in the Church Militant. Had she not saved France from the English, Martin Luther's rebellion 70 years later and Henry VIII's apostasy would likely have taken France out of the Church along with England. When you consider that the underground priests who returned to England were trained in Douai in France, Joan's actions take on even greater significance. She truly did save the faith in France. Read more about this glorious saint who, like many today, was persecuted by clerics of her own Church.

Then there's Jane Fonda who bears a form of the same name, but nothing of the character of the noble Joan. Jane is having a hissy fit because QVC TV cancelled her appearance to plug her new book. (See here.) Jane claims she never did anything to hurt her country which is patently untrue. She became part of the "karma" that treated vets as "baby killers" and the scum of the earth. I lived through that period and I remember the contempt those vets faced at the hands of liberals like Fonda. Read some of her statements here and don't let this traitor who gave aid and comfort to the enemy get away with her claim to "love her country." Read When Hell Was In Session to see what the North Vietnamese were doing to POWs while Fonda was sitting behind an anti-aircraft gun used to shoot down Americans. The country should never be allowed to forget what this traitor did to our soldiers and what she continues to do to the tiniest and most helpless Americans by her support for abortion. Pray for her conversion but don't buy her book. Here's the book to read. Aid and Cofort: Jane Fonda in North Vietnam.

The Church Militant needs warriors like Joan of Arc who listen for the Word of God and seek to do His will. Such women offer real hope, especially mothers training the troops in the domestic Church of the family. What we don't need are women like Jane Fonda with the hearts and minds of Judas "watching for an  opportunity to betray."

Pray that the Lord raises up an army of faithful women, gathered behind the banner of Christ and Mary, to rout the enemy's amazons and send them fleeing like the English at Orleans. Women are a key component in God's battle plan. When women become who they are called to be in the Church Militant victory for the Lord will follow.
