Just one perhaps but very important reason for other problems in the Church was the feminization of Christ. It wrought all sorts of distortions of the truths of the gospel and then too disordered psychologies. annelynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389530333077823143.post-22118072710262518752013-03-07T04:24:14.813+00:002013-03-07T04:24:14.813+00:00this is very moving.Really it is.I'll come bac...this is very moving.Really it is.I'll come back later and read it again.Many times I've heard of The Imitation of Christ.Now I'm going to read it.
