The Priest, The Woman And The Confessional was written by Father
Chiniquy in 1875. This book discussed the role of the priest in the
confessional in regards to women. The first chapter begins, "There
are two women who ought to be the constant objects of the
compassion of the disciples of Christ, and for whom daily prayers
ought to be offered at the mercy-seat--the Brahmin woman, who,
deceived by her priests, burns herself on the corpse of her husband
to appease the wrath of her wooden gods; and the Roman Catholic
woman, who, not less deceived by her priests, suffers a torture far
more cruel and ignominious in the confessional-box to appease the
wrath of her wafer-god. For I do not exaggerate when I say that for
many noble-hearted, well-educated, high-minded women to be forced
to unveil their hearts before the eyes of a man, to open to him all
the most sacred recesses of their souls, all the most sacred
mysteries of their single or married life, to allow him to put to
them questions which the most depraved woman would never consent to
hear from her vilest seducer, is often more horrible and
intolerable than to be tied on burning coals."
