Confessions is
the honest and heart-rending account of a woman who was born into a Catholic
family, attended parochial schools and fully embraced the beliefs of her faith,
but ran into major roadblocks in college. Amidst the radical feminist college
environment of the 1960’s, she lost her faith, and her morality, jumping
aboard the bandwagon of “free love.” She indulged in a series
of love relationships in college, all of which crashed and burned. Despite
the obvious contradiction between feminist teachings and her own experience,
Murray still believed she had to free herself from the yoke of tradition.
Attaining a doctorate in philosophy, with an emphasis on the feminist writings
of Simone de Beauvoir, Murray taught philosophy in college. For many years,
she launched a personal vendetta against God and the Catholic Church in the
classroom, trying to persuade students that God did not exist, mocking values
Catholics hold dear, and touted feminism as the cure for many social ills.
When she discovered she was pregnant, Murray followed the route that feminists
offer as a solution for unmarried women. Much to her surprise, her abortion
was a shattering emotional experience, which she grieved over for years. It
was the first tragic chink in her feminist armor.
After her marriage in 1982, she anguished over the decision to have children,
but became an advocate of the “child-free” movement, believing
children were burdens and life could be happy life without them. Later in
her forties, Murray experienced a mysterious series of events in which it
seemed that “someone” was inviting her back to God. The mysterious
calls came from different ports, including nature, books and other people.
Gradually, she realized that the One seeking her was Christ, and the place
He was calling her to was the Catholic Church. Eventually realizing it was
only in the Church that she would find what she was seeking — the person
of Christ and his love and mercy — Murray returned to the Church, and
finally found healing and forgiveness for the abortion.
Lorraine Murray’s Confessions are a revelation. They reveal the nasty
truth behind women’s “liberation”. Her experiences, and
the lessons she learns from them, serve as a timely warning of the folly of
feminism and the destructive impact that feminism has on those who fall under
its malignant spell.
- Joseph Pearce, author The Quest for Shakespeare
"Confessions of an Ex-Feminist is the gripping story of millions of women
who lost their religious and intellectual anchors during the tsunami of the
fatal sixties and seventies. It is a movingly honest confession of how pride,
arrogance, immaturity, ambition, craving to be “liberated”, blinds
the female soul. Abortion kills babies and wounds a woman’s soul to
its very core. But a prodigal daughter found her way back home, crushed by
guilt, driven by repentance, and discovers that God’s mercy is boundless.
She is now given the crucial mission of shouting on roof’s tops: feminism
is the arch enemy of women. This book should become a vade mecum of young
girls".
- Dr. Alice von Hildebrand, author The Privilege of Being a Woman
"Lorraine Murray’s absorbing and poignant book traces her passage
from the heart of the Catholic Church to the epicenter of the sexual revolution
and back again. With candor, humor and a knack for storytelling, Murray reveals
the mysterious ways God worked in her soul and leaves readers richer for having
shared her journey."
