Thanks Jake, I forwarded it to Talk2000 the Catholic millennium list.
This letter of Francoise has gone straight as a die into the Genesis of
Eden where it stands very powerfully alongside all the abrogations of
things like witch burning:

Now you beloved list recipients - will the REAL ecofeminists please stand up!
Who is going to stand up for liberation and end the epoch of dominion?
Remember everything that has gone down ... a reminder of what is to be sung ...
Why punish Eve for the fear of her Wisdom
when all you can do is lay waste to this place?
Why do you stand with your thumb on the button
ready to press it to end the human race?
Why did you have to unleash Armageddon?
Why did you have to make nuclear war?
Why did you circumcize all your daughters?
Why did you stone them and say they were whores?
Why did you shut them in houses and nunneries,
naked in brothels, imprisoned in veils?
And why did you slaughter the bridegroom of summer,
a light to the gentiles, hanging on nails?
Why the six hundred year long Inquisition
and why did you burn every witch at the stake?
Why did you burn all the groves from the temples
and cut out the tongues of the women who spake?
and so on ...

Incidentaly the women who had their tongues cut out were the slave singers
of Mecca who sang against Islam, one by the name of Sarah even, killed on
the day Muhammad entered Mecca. So much for being able to stand insult!
love, Chris
