ROME - An Italian priest has provoked outrage after putting up an article that said women were partly to blame for encouraging domestic violence by failing to clean their houses and cook properly and for wearing tight and provocative clothing.
Italian media reported that parish priest Piero Corsi fixed a text to the bulletin board of his church in the northern village of San Terenzo di Lerici, which said women should engage in “healthy self criticism” over the issue of femicide, or men murdering women.

To put it into perspective: San T. (whatever the heck that is), is a village of about 2,500 in old world Italy.
Although I'm sure he's not alone with those thoughts, there are few places on this earth where one would be so stupid as to express them in writing.
For him........ a Catholic Confession and all is forgiven.

The village is small, but nonetheless representative of a lot of people in Italy and elsewhere who because of religion follow what a priest tells them. Many Catholic women do not divorce because they are told not to by priests because it is the doctrine of the church. http://www.cuf.org/faithfacts/details_view.asp?ffID=54 These women live in abusive homes and have miserable lives because god says they are suppose to stay. But……………HE LOVES YOU!
The same applies to women in other Christian sects.

Woman and Two Children Beheaded in Afghan "Honor" Killing
(Reuters) - A 30-year-old woman and two of her children were beheaded overnight in Afghanistan's east, police said, in what appeared to be the latest in a rapidly growing trend of so-called honour killings.
Police said they suspected the woman Serata's divorced husband of barging into her house in the capital of Ghazni province and murdering her, alongside their eight-year-old son and nine-year-old daughter.
"The children saw the killer take their mother's head off, so he killed them too," a local policeman told Reuters, adding that the attacker had spared Sereta's two-year-old daughter.
Activists say there has been a sharp rise in violent attacks on women in Afghanistan over the past year.
They blame President Hamid Karzai's waning attention to women's rights as his government prepares for the exit of most foreign troops in 2014 and seeks to negotiate

parish priest Piero Corsi
What has he got to lose. His wife will never cut him off because of his opinions. And, no doubt, he has a female housekeeper to cook and clean for him. He doesn't have to work. He gets paid and a home and all his needs are met by his poor parishioners. If he can live with the celibacy thing (and many priests don't), the guy has it made.

He has nothing to lose because he can fall back on the cushion....the bible.
The bible lays out the laws for women to follow like slaves……
“Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.”
“Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.”
“If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger: her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of an husband's brother unto her.”

Now as the church submifs to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
I don't think our wives will buy that arguement. Not mine anyway.

While I realize that enlightened civilizations strive for freedom of religion, why is there no provision for freedom FROM religion (& all its attendant wing-nuts?)?:|

Do the math,
Mother Earth brings forth life.
Father time taketh away.
Now who's to blame?
