Roman Curia
“The Machine of The Slime”
Since, Pope Francis election to the papacy 2013, spoke often that he was given a mandate to reform the curia. He stated from the started that the reform of the curia was a big job and that he was going to need a lot of help, because he claimed that he is not that organized. However, the factual evidence since that time seems to indicate that he has exceptional organizational skills. Though, no one could have known, the full extent of the enormous amount of work and organizational skills that he was already aware of, at that time, would be required to even begin the reforming the curia. Photo
A Mandate - March 2013
“Anger over the dysfunctional state of the Vatican bureaucracy, which includes many Italians, is said to have been one factor in the cardinal electors' decision to choose a non-European pope for the first time in nearly 1,300 years (http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/06/12/us-pope-gaylobby-idUSBRE95B00I20130612).” The fact that it was a mandate that he received from the cardinals who elected him to reform the curia - would indicate that the magnitude of the corruption of the curia had already been assessed and evaluated to have reached a crucial stage of being on the brink of collapse. As he stated, “We have to find a new balance; otherwise even the moral edifice of the church is likely to fall like a house of cards…(http://www.americamagazine.org/pope-interview ).” This assessment would be understandable, considering the decades of the curia’s: child sexual cover-ups, their irrational and obsessive antigay crusade, the never ending closeted-gay sex scandals, the revelations of the Vatileaks regarding the curia’s hostile organizational culture and their ongoing multi levels of criminal activities i.e. the Vatican Bank, character assassinations - all reached the point of being blatant. This list is not even the tip of the iceberg, of the extent of corruption that exists and has existed in the curia that would later be revealed. It was as if a bunch of 4 and 5 year olds were turned loose inside the Vatican, to run the Church. It all appears to be related to the retirement of Pope Benedict XVI.
State-of-the-Art “Inclusive Entourage"
Pope Francis already appeared to have known from the start what was needed implement the reform: (1) the state-of-the-art entourage of diverse groups of consultants and experts, (2) the continuous involvement and input of the cardinals from around the world, and (3) the input of everyone in the Church, including (4) many many other people. Most importantly, he and along with other responsible members of the hierarchy, though not all, seemed well aware of the immediacy to implement the reform of the curia. From that time onwards, he appears to have been and continues to be on a non-stop “Church cleaning.”
Secrets of the Vatican - PBS - 2014
NARRATOR: A year ago, when the cardinals converged on Rome to elect a new Pope, they all understood what was at stake.
CARDINAL CORMAC MURPHY-O’CONNOR, Archbishop Emeritus of Westminster:
The atmosphere was the most serious, the most intense that I’ve ever— ever known because of the issues which the Church was facing. At the top level in Rome, things were not going well.
And then the shame of child abuse has had a real serious effect, I think, on the Church not just in the West, but I think all over the world. The Catholic Church, and in particular the Pope, has the highest moral voice in the world. If that voice is diminished by scandals, that’s a serious matter.
Twitter #FrontlinePBS
NARRATOR: This was one of the shortest conclaves ever. By the evening of the next day, white smoke from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel confirmed that 1.2 billion Catholics had a new Pope.
ROBERT MICKENS, Vatican Correspondent, The Tablet: He said, “I’ll give you my blessing, but before the Bishop blesses the people,” he said, “I want you to pray over me.” You could have heard a pin drop. And there were people crying in the square with joy.
Pope Francis comes on the scene at a time when the Church is a in deep crisis. He said the Church is like a field hospital after a battle. He’s talking about people who are wounded within the Church…
NARRATOR: The Vatican’s secret archives contain the Church’s records back through the centuries, including evidence relating to sexual abuse cases from the early Middle Ages to the present day.
As a sovereign nation, the Holy See cannot be compelled to hand over its original documents, or any copies held by their embassies worldwide. The only hope for those representing victims of sexual abuse is to sue individual dioceses. That was how Jeff Anderson was able to subpoena crucial correspondence between Monica’s former archbishop, Cardinal Dolan, and Cardinal Hummes, Prefect of the Congregation for the Clergy in Rome.
JEFF ANDERSON: We have evidence that Archbishop Dolan got express permission from the Vatican to move $57 million from diocesan funds into a cemetery trust, and that permission was given by the Vatican almost immediately.
NARRATOR: Two key words in Latin from Cardinal Hummes said it all, “Nihil Obstat”— “nothing stands in your way.” With these two words, the Vatican allowed the diocese to protect its millions from further legal claims of abuse victims.
JEFF ANDERSON: To me it was designed to do one thing, to keep the archdiocese and the Vatican from having to account for their crimes and complicity in them. No other real or legitimate reason.
NARRATOR: The Church argued that the money was always committed to their cemeteries, and a court upheld the transfer. Meanwhile the diocese declared bankruptcy. While they recently proposed to set aside $4 million in a victims’ fund, there are over 550 outstanding claimants, Monica Barrett and Peter Isely, among them.
PETER ISELY: This is a beautiful cemetery. They’re doing a terrific job of really maintaining this sacred space. You don’t need $57 million for this space and seven other cemeteries. The real purpose was to keep money from compensating childhood victims of sexual assault by priests in this archdiocese from court-ordered settlements, period.
And that is so cynical and so just unacceptable. And it’s just a further way of trying to hide— hide things. You’re hiding money in a cemetery, just like you hide sex offenders in parishes…

It is hard to believe anyone fully understood the magnitude of what he was speaking about - hardly anyone knew and still do not know - the full extent of he what he meant. At 77 years old, what a major undertaking. The fact that Pope Francis called the situation “a field hospital after battle,” seems a clearer indication that he meant it less metaphorically and more as a literal assessment, in the same way he publicly announced that he is a sinner (http://americamagazine.org/pope-interview ). He appeared to be able to actually see globally - the severity of those wounded and fatalities - victimized by the decades of the highly dysfunctional and corrupt operations of the curia with their insatiable propensity for vindictive and intimidating tactics. It helps to explain his immediate and relentless pursuit to reach out to the marginalized, to those most in need, while reforming the curia.
In the exclusive interview with Pope Francis “A Big Heart Open to God” September 30, 2013 - he gives an assessment of the damage done. It is the aftermath of a global battle and you must treat the wounded, first, then reform will follow.
I see the church as a field hospital after battle…You have to heal his wounds. Then we can talk about everything else…
The structural and organizational reforms are secondary—that is, they come afterward. The first reform must be the attitude. The ministers of the Gospel must be people who can warm the hearts of the people, who walk through the dark night with them, who know how to dialogue and to descend themselves into their people’s night, into the darkness, but without getting lost…
In Buenos Aires I used to receive letters from homosexual persons who are ‘socially wounded’ because they tell me that they feel like the church has always condemned them. But the church does not want to do this. During the return flight from Rio de Janeiro I said that if a homosexual person is of good will and is in search of God, I am no one to judge…
The church’s pastoral ministry cannot be obsessed with the transmission of a disjointed multitude of doctrines to be imposed insistently…We have to find a new balance; otherwise even the moral edifice of the church is likely to fall like a house of cards, losing the freshness and fragrance of the Gospel. The proposal of the Gospel must be more simple, profound, radiant. It is from this proposition that the moral consequences then flow…

The internal corruption of the curia was entrenched for decades. The 2012 Vatileaks revealed an endless litany of infighting, rivalry, power struggles, mismanagement, and of the most serious crimes being committed (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/26/world/europe/popes-butler-arrested-in-vatican-letters-leak.html?_r=0). August 2014 the “Secrets of the Vatican” presented by PBS - FRONTLINE reviewed the relative recent history of the past 29 years of the tsunami of corruption that the Roman Curia has been and seems to be still engaged in, e.g. the continuous delay of justice for protocol number 20131723/F (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/religion/secrets-of-the-vatican/transcript-58/). Jeff Anderson, the attorney representing the victims of child sexual abuse for 29 years states,
When it comes to the Vatican and its role in this crisis, all I have ever seen them do is talk, both denying responsibility and saying that they’re doing something, when in fact, they’re doing nothing other than what they’ve done in the past for decades and centuries, which is to deny, minimize blame, keep secrets and protect themselves.
PETER ISELY: Intimidation is the strategy. It’s not part of it, it is the strategy. “You’ve exposed this part of us. We’re coming after you. We’re coming after you, and no one’s going to dare to file a lawsuit again.” And it’s meant to intimidate and make people afraid.
The source of the Vatileaks,
…was Paolo Gabriele, the Pope’s butler. He was offering thousands of secret documents from the Pope’s private office. He said he wanted to protect the Pope from the sleaze and corruption that surrounded him. He went on, “I’m afraid the Pope doesn’t have the strength to expel the money changers from the temple.”
These documents were given to a television journalist in Milan, Gianluigi Nuzzi. Nuzzi stated,
I published documents and stories dealing with corruption, scandals, frauds, nepotism, pedophilia, sexual abuses, self-advancement, all the issues which for so many years, too many years, no one wanted to talk about in relation to the Vatican.
It was noted that Pope Benedict XVI was “horrified” by the Vatileaks. He insisted that a thorough secret investigation should continue, when finished the full report was called the “red dossier,” which he received on December 17th, 2012. Two months later Benedict XVI resigned on February 28, 2013.
Ignazio Ingrao, an investigative journalist, probed those who were involved in this investigation. He stated that
It was to be an X-ray inquiry into the Roman Curia, more detailed than ever before…People who testified before these cardinals talked about what we call in Italian “the machine of the slime”— in other words, dossiers of documents created to destroy reputations all based on lies.
There were some groups bound together by homosexuality. It cemented relationships by brotherhood or blackmail. This is the map that was drawn, the picture that emerged from the dossier that the cardinals handed in to Benedict.
The Pope had phoned to invite Scalfari for a chat. It would be a wide-ranging discussion, which Scalfari described in an article that attracted worldwide attention. When it came to the Church hierarchy, Francis was uncompromising. “Heads of the Church,” he is quoted as saying, “have often been narcissists, flattered and thrilled by their courtiers. The court is the leprosy of the papacy. This Vatican-centric vision neglects the world around it, and I will do everything to change it (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/religion/secrets-of-the-vatican/transcript-58/).”
Pope Francis Delivers 'Gossiping Is Like Terrorism' Speech In Vatican City - September 4, 2015
VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis on Friday likened a person who gossips to “a terrorist who throws a bomb,” telling his followers that sowing divisions is a sickness within the Catholic Church.
Speaking during his homily at his Santa Marta residence, Francis criticized people who think gossip is harmless.
“Gossiping is like terrorism because the person who gossips is like a terrorist who throws a bomb and runs away, destroying,” he said. “With their tongue they are destroying and not making peace.”…

It is the sickness of the cowardly who, not having the courage to speak directly to the people involved, instead speak behind their backs”….

Part 2 - cold-blooded murderers - Ghosts in the - Synod 2014 ---- & ---- Fr Kurylowicz’s - Appeal Letter - “Coming Out” March 1997 - For Protection of Children - 1/16/14 - Update 3/14/15:
Addressing the - Immediacy of Protecting Children
by - First - Protecting Gay Priests
Though publicly it may have appeared that the child sexual cover-ups were not a priority, but there are clear indications that from the very beginning, he fully understood the gravity of the harm done. To secure the protection of children was his top priority that he began addressing - before starting his reforms on corruption of the Vatican Bank. The history from the beginning of his papacy and onwards has shown - a clear and steady pace of continuous initiatives taken to hold bishops accountable for the coverups of the child sexual abuse. He began this process by publicly, on his flight back from Brazil, July 29, 2013, removing the protective shield that the bishops were hiding behind that was generated by the curia staff members who ordered the coverups.
On Gay Priests, Pope Francis Asks, ‘Who Am I to Judge?’ - July 29, 2013
…In that context, brief remarks by Pope Francis suggesting that he would not judge priests for their sexual orientation, made aboard the papal airplane on the way back from his first foreign trip, to Brazil…
“If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?” Francis told reporters, speaking in Italian but using the English word “gay.”
Francis’s words could not have been more different from those of Benedict XVI, who in 2005 wrote that homosexuality was “a strong tendency ordered toward an intrinsic moral evil,” and an “objective disorder.” The church document said men with “deep-seated homosexual tendencies” should not become priests…
But the fact that he made such comments — and used the word “gay” — was nevertheless revolutionary, and likely to generate significant discussion in local dioceses, where bishops are divided over whether to accept priests who are gay but celibate…
Before he resigned in February, Benedict’s papacy had been marked by scandals — a sexual abuse scandal, a leaks scandal and trouble with the secretive Vatican Bank. Francis, with his style of radical simplicity and his direct manner, has shifted things. “He’s completely changed the narrative about the church,” Mr. Allen said. “In five months, now the dominant Catholic story is ‘Charismatic Pope Takes World by Storm.’ ”…
Francis did not dodge a single question, even thanking the person who prompted his comments on homosexuality, asking about Italian news reports of a “gay lobby” inside the Vatican, with clerics blackmailing one another with information about sexual missteps…
Francis had appointed to look into the Vatican Bank, Msgr. Battista Ricca, had been accused of having gay trysts when he was a Vatican diplomat in Uruguay. The pope told reporters that nothing in the documentation he had seen substantiated the reports.
…that he did not have anything against gay people and that their sins should be forgiven like those of all Catholics. Francis said that homosexuals should be treated with dignity, and that no one should be subjected to blackmail or pressure because of sexual orientation…

He implicitly and publicly confirmed, the past 6 decades of the emerging science and biblical interpretations regarding homosexuality that had been fiercely and violently suppressed for over the past 30 years, by members of the curia.
Protecting Children
Pope Francis - “Sharply Distinguishes” - Homosexuality
From - Pedophilia - Bishops Accountable
On his flight back from Brazil, by publicly confirming the past 6 decades of the authoritative data on homosexuality he implicitly clarified the crucial distinction between the non-criminal - adult homosexual sexual behavior - from the criminal act of child sexual abuse of pedophiles. By emphatically making it clear that gay priests were not responsible for the child sexual abuse and he threw - the focus back onto the curia and the hierarchy being solely responsible of the coverups. Pope Francis’s statement instantly received global attention, "If a person is gay, seeks God and has goodwill, who am I to judge?" Francis said. "They should not be marginalized (http://articles.latimes.com/2013/jul/29/world/la-fg-pope-gays-20130730)." Pope Francis’s statement regarding Monsignor Battista Ricca:
...In response to the question of why he had not removed Monsignor Battista Ricca, whom he had appointed to a supervisory group at the Vatican Bank, he affirmed his nonjudgmental affirmation of the person and his willingness to keep him in the position—despite allegations that Monsignor Ricca had a homosexual relationship in his past...Thus, Pope Francis makes an important shift insofar as he sharply distinguishes between the criminal act of sexual abuse and homosexuality—and he did not withdraw his appointment of Monsignor Ricca. Will this distinction also lead him to move against bishops who cover up sexual abuse by transferring priests from one parish to another? If he does, that will signal an even more significant shift…

Facts about Homosexuality and Child Molestation - Gregory M. Herek, Ph.D.
John Jay College of criminal justice - 5-Year Study by American Bishops – Roman Catholic Church Sex Abuse Cases - May 18, 2011
…the study is likely to be regarded as the most authoritative analysis of the scandal in the Catholic Church in America. The study, initiated in 2006, was conducted by a team of researchers at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York City at a cost of $1.8 million… The National Institute of Justice, the research agency of the United States Department of Justice, supplied about $280,000…
...Since the scandal broke, conservatives in the church have blamed gay priests for perpetrating the abuse, while liberals have argued that the all-male, celibate culture of the priesthood was the cause. This report will satisfy neither flank.
The report notes that homosexual men began entering the seminaries “in noticeable numbers” from the late 1970s through the 1980s. By the time this cohort entered the priesthood, in the mid-1980s, the reports of sexual abuse of minors by priests began to drop and then to level off. If anything, the report says, the abuse decreased as more gay priests began serving the church…

Pope Francis boldly flies with the backing of the authoritative rationale of homosexuality - directly into the popular irrational prejudices of antigay social and religious norms. He reversed and ended the obsessive and irrational antigay demagoguery of Cardinals Bertone and Burke, used to wrongfully scapegoat gay priests for the bishops’ coverups of the child sexual abuse that they ordered.

It exposed the bishops, as well as, the curia’s accountability for their child sexual abuse coverups. The protection of children was his top priority, before reforming the Vatican Bank The history from that time onwards has shown - a steady pace of continuous initiatives taken that have not ended. The latest of his reform was in setting up a new department in the Vatican to investigate bishops who cover up sexual abuse (http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-06-11/pope-approves-new-office-to-investigate-bishops-on-sexual-abuse/6536990 - & - http://ncronline.org/news/accountability/pope-francis-dumps-two-more-bishops-house-cleaning-continues).
1. Pope Francis “Who am I to judge?”
2. US Supreme Court Legalizing Gay Marriage
3. Gay Adult Pornography
We know that Pope Francis, in flight to Rome, on July 29, 2013, made a direct hit into the antigay demagoguery that was all solidly built on popular irrational prejudices of antigay social and religious norms, because his simple words “Who am I to judge?” caught instant global recognition that has not stopped resonating around the world.
Existence of Bisexuals - 80% World’s Population
It is significantly noteworthy that nothing seems to attack instant global attention more than homosexuality, gay marriage and gay adult pornography. This phenomena has yet to be fully realized though there are few issues that stand out. (1) It is blatantly clear from these there three sources, listed in above the subtitle, - is that homosexuality is not confined to just 10% or less of the world's population. It strongly appears to the validate the existence of bisexuality that makes up 80% of the world’s population. Together homosexuals and bisexuals make up 90% of the world’s population.
Suppression Sexual Orientation - Dissociation
Gay Adult Porn
(2) This phenomena not only validates the existence of bisexual human beings, but in addition - it confirms the fact that bisexual children equally suffer from the lifetime effects caused by influence of unsubstantiated antigay social and religious norms. First, the people in the world who are extremely prejudice against homosexuality - the research of gay adult pornography has found that (a) they are among the - highest Googlers - googling - gay adult pornography websites (http://fathermartykurylowicz.blogspot.com/2015/07/part-1-obedient-to-whom-1997-2015.html).
Given Uganda's homophobia, why does it lead the way in Googling gay porn? - 10 January 2014
Is there a connection, then, between homophobia and suppressed homosexuality, along the lines of "me thinks he protesteth too much"? Is it that homosexual desires, when shut out because of some sense of shame, can easily express themselves as a form of homophobia? When the US conservative evangelical pastor Ted Haggard, well known for his anti-gay preaching, was discovered to have been paying a masseur for gay sex, he explained that "I think I was partially so vehement because of my own war". Freud coined the description "reaction-formation", in which anxiety-generating feelings are masked by an exaggerated reaction in the opposite direction. There is some experimental evidence to back this up, with one study showing that 20% of those who self-described as "highly straight" indicated some level of same-sex attraction. This discrepancy is often put down to highly controlling parents who do not allow their children room to explore their sexual identity.
Yes, of course, there are many people who do not experience same-sex attraction who are anti-gay. But one of the features of reaction-formation is its paranoia and lack of proportion. And this is precisely what the scaremongering nonsense about gay people being out to get our children – a common line in the Ugandan debate – clearly demonstrates. In conservative religious environments where God is depicted as a powerful all-controlling parent, it makes sense to me that this reaction-formation will be particularly strong…

Why Is Gay Porn So Popular in Pakistan? - June 13, 2013
Earlier this month, the Pew Research Center published results of a public survey of gay tolerance in 39 countries worldwide. The numbers are fairly unsurprising: While a high proportion of respondents in Western Europe and North America answered "yes" to the question "Should society accept homosexuality?" few respondents in the Middle East and Africa agreed with them.
Among the least tolerant nations surveyed was Pakistan, where only 2 percent of those surveyed said society should accept homosexuality. That statistic might be unsurprising, considering that gay sex is illegal under the Pakistani penal code. But what is surprising is how those views compare to Pakistani search traffic around gay-porn-related terms…

In the USA, (b) we have witnessed that this research is consistent through the news media reports regarding heterosexual married men - who are public figures, politicians, Christian clergy/ministers and have been publicly extremely outspoken condemning homosexuals, including gay adult pornography - who have been found having gay anonymous sex in public restrooms or traveling with a gay escort or though married have also been simultaneously involved in a secret - long term gay relationship.
The same is true, especially about the (c) obsessive antigay crusade of the Roman Curia and then being inundated with endless gay sex scandals (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/religion/secrets-of-the-vatican/transcript-58/), “…Italian news reports of a ‘gay lobby’ inside the Vatican, with clerics blackmailing one another with information about sexual missteps…(http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/30/world/europe/pope-francis-gay-priests.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0).”
Pope Francis: `Gay lobby' exists inside Vatican
June 11, 2013
(CNN) – Pope Francis said a “gay lobby” exists inside the Vatican, a surprising disclosure from a pope who has already delivered his share of stunners, and a resurrection of church conflicts that had bedeviled his predecessor's papacy.
“In the Curia,” Francis said, referring to Catholicism’s central bureaucracy, “there are holy people. But there is also a stream of corruption.”
“The 'gay lobby' is mentioned, and it is true, it is there,” Francis continued. “We need to see what we can do.”
Hints that the Holy See contained a network of gay clergy surfaced last year in reports about a series of embarrassing leaks to Italian journalists.
The "Vatileaks" scandal factored in Pope Emeritus Benedict XIV's shocking decision to resign earlier this year, according to some church experts, as it impressed upon the 86-year-old pontiff that the modern papacy requires a vigorous and watchful presence.
Francis' enigmatic comments came during a meeting Sunday with CLAR, the Latin American and Caribbean Confederation of Religious Men and Women, who head Catholic communities of priests, sisters and monks…

Often in these situations, it appears to be about the person’s inability to face their own personal homosexual feelings within themselves. This process is referred to as a dissociated state of mind from one’s own homosexual feelings, which is explained thoroughly in the book by Harry Stack Sullivan MD, Dissociative Processes, Clinical Studies on Psychiatry (1956) (http://books.google.com/books?id=sNlxOZJp6aUC&printsec=frontcover&dq=inauthor:%22Harry+Stack+Sullivan%22&client=safari).
The Psychology of the Closeted Individual and Coming Out
Jack Drescher, M.D - 2007
Many LGB individuals report developmental histories with difficulty acknowledging their homosexuality, either to themselves or to others. This is because, starting in childhood, LGB individuals are often subjected to antihomosexual attitudes, not only from strangers, but also from their own families and communities (Drescher, Stein and Byne, (2005). The childhood need to hide may persist into adulthood, leading many LGB individuals to conceal important aspects of themselves…Closeted individuals cannot acknowledge homoerotic feelings, attractions and fantasies to themselves. They cannot or will not integrate homosexuality into their public personae and these feelings must be dissociated out of conscious awareness…
Some gay men, before coming out, were either gay-baiters or gay-bashers. To maintain a psychological distance from their own homoerotic feelings, they also exhibit dissociative tendencies. Attacking those perceived to be gay can serve several functions. One penile plethysmography study indicated that men with strong antihomosexual beliefs actually had significant homosexual arousal patterns (Adams, 1996). Interpersonally, strong antihomosexual feelings may represent
an effort to control perceptions of a gay-basher’s own sexual identity. If they attack gay people, others will not think of them as gay...

Why Public Ignorance and Fear About Homosexuality?
(3) This phenomena clearly indicates the lifelong lasting harmful effects - caused by the severity of subjecting a child, as young as 4 an 5 years of age, to the unsubstantiated antigay social and religious norms, forcing the suppression of a child’s gay or bisexual sexual orientation. It remains an unidentified form of child abuse, because the dissociative tendencies begin in early childhood, at a time when children are most vulnerable, and often persist into adulthood, having little to no conscious recollection of the traumatizing memories of the events and situations of this early childhood abuse. As adults, the child victims, switches from being the victims to being the adult aggressors - perpetuating this same form of child abuse - onto children. It is the homosexual dissociative tendencies that perpetuates the ignorance and the fear about homosexuality through the generations.
All that remains is an unexplainable intense unpleasant emotion triggered only by any event or situation that arouses the person’s suppressed homosexual feelings to begin surfacing attempting to break into person’s consciousness. However, before, possibly these suppressed homosexual feelings even come close to, breaking through the person’s consciousness - it most often will be met by, what has likely become a seamlessly reflexive intense negative, even explosive reaction of the person that forcefully keeps the homosexual feelings suppressed. It is this unconscious 24/7 vigilance that is absorbing a tremendous amount of psyche energy - obsessively keeping these homosexual feelings suppressed. It is not only depleting the person’s ability in reaching his or her fullest potential, but it is depriving the person of the fullness of love.

Denying One’s Desires Tied to Homophobia - April 9, 2012
New studies suggest those who express virulent dislike of homosexuals may have an unacknowledged attraction to the same sex. Researchers also discovered homophobia is more pronounced in individuals who grew up with authoritarian parents who forbade such desires.
The study is the first to document the role that both parenting and sexual orientation play in the formation of intense and visceral fear of homosexuals, including self-reported homophobic attitudes, discriminatory bias, implicit hostility towards gays, and endorsement of anti-gay policies.
“Individuals who identify as straight but in psychological tests show a strong attraction to the same sex may be threatened by gays and lesbians because homosexuals remind them of similar tendencies within themselves,” said Dr. Netta Weinstein, a lecturer in psychology at the University of Essex and the study’s lead author.
“In many cases these are people who are at war with themselves and they are turning this internal conflict outward,” said co-author Dr. Richard Ryan, professor of psychology at the University of Rochester who helped direct the research…

Triggers
Gay Loving Committed Relationships
Gay Adult Pornography
&
Pedophilia
We know from psychology that - “we are born - wanting to love and to be loved - to feel one with another” - and we can not live without love. This makes sense because as Christians - we believe that we were created by God who is love - the highest the purest form of love.
Sexual orientation, whether heterosexual, bisexual or homosexual begins at birth and immediate from that moment onwards throughout the lifetime of the infant it is forever operative related to the basic human need “wanting to love and to be loved - to feel as one with another.” It is a basic human need essential for human survival, as important as eating, as Rene Spitz has shown. In 1945, Rene Spitz has shown his research "hospitalism" that love is necessary from the moment of birth - without love - we cannot exist ( http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21004303 & http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/René_Spitz ). As in any traumatic disruption in a child’s nourishment intake that is necessary for the child’s growth, and health - it can have lifelong harmful effects, the same is true for a child’s sexual orientation. Any traumatic disruption in child’s early childhood sexual orientation development can have lifelong lasting effects - especially
…at the time when the human is most vulnerable to the effects of trauma— during infancy and childhood…
Deprivation of critical experiences during development may be the most destructive yet least understood area of child maltreatment. Unlike broken bones, irreversible maldevelopment of brain areas mediating empathy resulting from emotional neglect in infancy and childhood is not readily observable...
Some of the most powerful clinical examples of this phenomenon are related to lack of attachment experiences early in life. The child who has been emotionally neglected early in life will exhibit profound attachment problems which are extremely insensitive to any replacement experiences later, including therapy. Examples of this include feral children, children in orphanages observed by Spitz and Wolf (1945) and, often, the remorseless, violent child...
Profound sociocultural and public policy implications arise from understanding the critical role of early experience in determining the functional capacity of the mature adult — and therefore our society. Persistence of the destructive myth that "children are resilient" will prevent millions of children, and our society, from meeting their true potential. Persistence of the pervasive maltreatment of children in the face of decreasing global and national resources will lead, inevitably, to sociocultural devolution.
It need not be so.

Childhood Trauma, Neurobiology... Development of the Brain:
(4) This phenomena indicates that it is not only the research of gay adult pornography reveals the reality of about “the lifelong harmful effects caused by the severity of subjecting a child, as young as 4 an 5 years of age, to the unsubstantiated antigay social and religious norms, forcing the suppression of child’s gay or bisexual sexual orientation.” Within in less than a year, in two events - we have witnessed these lifetime harmful effects as publicly displayed by those who so forcefully opposed the thought of the public acceptance of gay committed loving relationships, gay marriage, in contrast to those who were supportive of gay marriage. These two events begin with (A) the Synod 2014 “Welcoming Gay People” and considering the “importance of gay loving relationships” and (B) the US Supreme Court legalization of Gay Marriage, June 26, 2015.
Gay Love - Triggering Memories
What was so surprising was the immediate reactions of people “triggered” at the time of - the release of the Synod 2014 midterm report - and the decision of the US Supreme Court - evoking either “irrational hostile rejection” or “empathic understanding acceptance.” For all those opposed to public acceptance of gay marriage it evoked the same 3 identical aspects of rejection:
(a) An immediate intense outburst of emotional negative
reactions - against the thought of - gay marriage,
gay loving relationships
(b) A complete lack of any supporting authoritative data
no justifiable rationale to support their fierce
negative reaction
- except for name calling & verbalizing a litany of
their own personal sexual shocking obsessive
fantasies
- most likely used to keep their homosexual feelings
suppressed - the strongest being - attempting to
equate pedophilia with homosexuality
(c) Lastly - Followed by an intense unyielding
commitment to keep fighting against gay loving
relationships, gay marriage
- likely what has become a lifetime obsession
This identical intense negative response on the part of large population, - evoked by the thought of gay loving couples that is without any rational authoritative explanation ending with the individual pledges of these people that they will continue to fight against gay marriage sounds a lot like dissociative tendencies at work. Dissociative tendencies that started in their early childhood years - because of the traumatic effect - when they were being forced to suppress the gay or bisexual sexual orientation (http://www.sequeltsi.com/files/library/Closeted_and_Coming_Out.pdf). It is interesting that the issue of the Synod 2014 midterm report - valuing committed gay loving relationships and the US Supreme Court’s decision regarding gay marriage both were issues that were completely focused on love and that the idea of love would evoke such intense negative reactions that are obsessive. It sounds in many ways as the compulsion to repeat the traumatic situations the happened during early childhood.
The Compulsion to Repeat the Trauma
Re-enactment, Revictimization, and Masochism
Bessel A. van der Kolk, MD
Trauma can be repeated on behavioral, emotional, physiologic, and neuroendocriniologic levels. Repetition on these different levels causes a large variety of individual and social suffering. Anger directed against the self or others is always a central problem in the lives of people who have been violated and this is itself a repetitive re-enactment of real events from the past…
People who have been exposed to highly stressful stimuli develop long-term potentiation of memory tracts that are reactivated at times of subsequent arousal. This activation explains how current stress is experienced as a return of the trauma; it causes a return to earlier behavior patterns. Ordinarily, people will choose the most pleasant of two alternatives. High arousal causes people to engage in familiar behavior, regardless of the rewards. As novel stimuli are anxiety provoking, under stress, previously traumatized people tend return to familiar patterns, even if they cause pain…
Childhood abuse and neglect enhance long-term hyperarousal and decreased modulation of strong affect states…Victimized people may neutralize their hyperarousal by a variety of addictive behaviors, including compulsive re-exposure to victimization of self and others. Gaining control over one's current life, rather than repeating trauma in action, mood, or somatic states, is the goal of treatment. The only reason to uncover traumatic material is to gain conscious control over unbidden re-experiences or re- enactments. The presence of strong attachments provides people with the security necessary to explore their life experiences and to interrupt the inner or social isolation that keeps them stuck in repetitive patterns. In contrast with victimized children, adults can learn to protect themselves and make conscious choices about not engaging in relationships or behaviors that are harmful.

In contrast, those who were supportive of the public acceptance of gay loving couples - the US Supreme Court decision - evoked personal individual memories of being in a loving relationship and what the importance of marriage meant to them that allowed them to empathize what the meaning of love meant to gay couples.
President Obama responded - how wonderful it was to see couples standing out in front of the rainbow lit White House, on a summer evening free and in love. And when the news reporter asked him was it his best week - he responded when he met Michelle was his best week and the weeks his daughters were born (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-politics/wp/2015/06/30/for-obama-rainbow-white-house-was-a-moment-worth-savoring/). Justice Kennedy wrote “…No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice, and family. In forming a marital union, two people become something greater than once they were… (http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2015/06/26/417717613/supreme-court-rules-all-states-must-allow-same-sex-marriages).” Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg - stated the importance of people coming out - help to people to realize how many other close relatives, such as, nieces, nephews and neighbors’ sons and daughters who were gay that then - it was not difficult for people to accept gay marriage. She states, “The change in people’s attitudes on that issue has been enormous. In recent years, people have said, ‘This is the way I am.’ And others looked around, and we discovered it’s our next-door neighbor — we’re very fond of them. Or it’s our child’s best friend, or even our child. I think that as more and more people came out and said that “this is who I am,” the rest of us recognized that they are one of us (http://time.com/3937882/ruth-bader-ginsburg-gay-marriage-ruling/).” Most notably, was the CNN reporter, whose office overlooked the Supreme Court. As she was watching the reactions of huge crowds people standing outside the Supreme Court when the decision was announced, she uncontrollably broke into tears. She explained that she is a professional and that she is not prone to such uncontrollable displays of emotions. However, she stated that she was human and could not help it - that she just knew how much this decision meant to them. She states, “I didn’t plan to break down on national television last week. But as I sat in a studio at CNN, mere blocks from the steps of the Supreme Court, watching a monitor as the ruling on gay marriage unfolded, the cameras panning to excited, emotional families for whom I know this meant so much, I just couldn’t help it. In that moment, I was human…(http://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/s-e-cupp-republicans-gay-marriage-crying-camera-article-1.2275390).”
All these people were instinctively able to excess their most profound loving and meaningful memories and therefore could empathized what it meant to gay people. They were not only able to empathize - but also to share in the joy and happiness the gay couples were expressing at the same time. It was, as if time had stopped, for the majority of the citizens of the United States, to access their individual personal memories of the most profound and meaningful times in their lives all related to LOVE. For a brief moment in time the majority of Americans were truly united in love. It validates just how immensely powerful and meaningful love is above all pleasant emotions.
However, it also helps to indicate just how life threatening the absence of love is in a human being’s life. It also validates just how devastating harmful the suppressing of a child’s sexual orientation is to the child throughout the child’s life - to be forced to live in isolation, never to be in love.
It also explains why those who have been forced in early childhood years to suppress their gay or bisexual orientation that is damaging to the child for life and why it forces them acquire a number of the dissociative tendencies that causes them to act out, in ways explained above. In brief, it helps to explain - how the extremely fanatical antigay religious leaders are found excessing gay adult pornography websites. It gives a clearly understanding why the public figures who forcefully keep condemning gay people and then are found having gay anonymous sex in public restrooms or traveling with a gay escort, etc. The same is true of the Roman Curia their 30 years of an obsessively fierce antigay crusade and then being inundated with endless gay sex scandals (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/religion/secrets-of-the-vatican/transcript-58/), and “…Italian news reports of a ‘gay lobby’ inside the Vatican, with clerics blackmailing one another with information about sexual missteps…(http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/30/world/europe/pope-francis-gay-priests.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0).”
This is the global harm that the Vatican’s unsubstantiated teaching on homosexuality has been and is continuing to cause globally to 90% of the world’s population.

A new command I give you: Love one another.
As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
By this everyone will know that you are my disciples,
if you love one another.
John 13:34-35
Any attempt to save face in a sense of collegiality among the members of curia and hierarchy - by discrediting even in the slightest the person with the protocol number 20131723/F or refusing proper restitution - for the harm inflicted upon me by the Vatican - with all due respect, if you will pardon the expression - you can kiss your ass - Good-by!
I say this in no way to protect myself - because the issue is not about me it is about truth and children - all children globally. The only thing I can be accused of - is resisting risking my life - in standing up for children, by “coming out.” And isn't that the very core of what it means to be a priest that we willingly sacrifice our lives for others, most especially for children! Or did you become a priest so that you could wear a dress! I willingly admit - I tried to get out of what I knew I had to do, however, now - it has been passed on to you. Photo
I will explain, as I have written to many US politicians, how I handled this situation:
WELL-INFORMED CONSCIENCE
Protect Religious Freedom - but not
Tyranny in Religion
June 20, 2011
The way to begin for us all, not only the NY State Senators, to protect Religious Freedom and not Tyranny in Religion is by obtaining a well-informed conscience. We start by individually approaching and studying in great detail, because it involves the lives of children, from the best and the brightest (1) scripture scholars regarding the references related to homosexuality and (2) scientists in the field of study of human sexuality, in particular, but [not] limited to, the onset of sexual orientation. The prerequisite to the formation of a well-informed conscience is making a thorough study of all sides of the issue from all available authoritative data and research, including opposing views. Then in this way we are better equipped to decide who and what needs government protection in regards to the gay marriage bill. This exhaustive procedure follows to the letter the Gospel quotation about the “plank” and the” speck.”
How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
Luke 6:42
The “plank” for us is ignorance. If we satisfactorily resolve this ignorance, then together we will be able to see more clearly, whether or not, as NY State Senators (government officials) and as citizens we are colluding with the Catholic Hierarchy and are harming children, as was found to be the case in the Ireland Murphy Report.
…This piece of legislation the gay marriage bill is not like any other in that it involves the well-being of children, at its very root…
How I resolved this situation was through hours upon hours of continuous prayer. Afterwards, I came to the realization that my life had already been altered – changed forever. Because there was no way I could pretend I did not know what I knew, how severely children are harmed for life by the Vatican unsubstantiated antigay teachings and antigay social norms. I decided that I could not live with the regret knowing that I had a chance to make a profound difference for the better for others, most especially children and that I did nothing. My life would be nothing. I took the bungee jump and I came out to my parishioners. It definitely was not easy, but one thing that happened to me is - I gained a real sense of peace and well-being that has remained constant and unshaken. The scripture passages that kept repeating over and over in my head were:
For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.
Matthew 16:25

Background information - 1997 - 2015: Photo
Fr Marty Kurylowicz’s “Coming Out” 1997
News Reports:
March 29, 1997 - Parishioners Supportive of Gay Priest - “coming out” for the protection of children.
(check The Grand Rapids Press for accuracy)
June 28, 1997 - Kurylowicz Comes Out
“...U.S. Catholic Bishops Conference said Kurylowicz” coming out to his congregation, first in a newsletter then from the pulpit on Holy Thursday, is “unprecedented.”
(check The Grand Rapids Press for accuracy)
October 8, 2005 - Impending rules on gay priests creates Catholic divide
…Rev. Martin Kurylowicz...said...the struggle would be made harder for many others if the Vatican issues new rules that reportedly would ban gays from becoming priests… “Kids as young as 4 or 5 know they're different," said Kurylowicz... "They grow up with this pervasive guilt, which sabotages their growth and motivation." The result is thousands of dollars in therapy to accept their natural orientation, he said, adding, "Does the Vatican want to take that on, like the tobacco industry had to take on for the damage it caused consumers?”...
(check The Grand Rapids Press for accuracy)
May 27, 2006 - Gay priest removed from ministry
(check The Grand Rapids Press for accuracy)
Note: Bishop Hurley unethically manipulates canon law misrepresenting my situation: by excluding the factual details of the Vatican’s equally unethical punitive sanctions and threats imposed on me for “coming out” for the protection of children in March 1997, e.g. lost of the possibility of future assignments, regular priest salary and educational benefits, to coerce my compliance to be reeducated - to assure my silence in protecting children or to force me to leave the priesthood. Hurley’s dishonest response to the press was meant to destroy my credibility and reputation. Hurley also disclosed the cost of my psychotherapy sessions, a breach of employer employee confidentially. There are No USA civil laws to protect gay priests from such a fatal destructive public attack on my reputation. The same tactic was used, again in 2012, against Vatican Bank, ex-president Tedeschi, who was attempting to increase the transparency of the scandal-ridden Vatican institution. There is “…the publication of a letter from a psychotherapist detailing the mental health of the Vatican's recently ousted bank chief…and appeared aimed at further discrediting and humiliating the Vatican bank's ex-president, Ettore Gotti Tedeschi, once a top papal adviser…”(http://www.businessweek.com/ap/2012-06/D9VBK7581.htm)
Hurley’s deliberate distortion of the facts of my situation was meant to humiliate me publicly, a character assassination against me. This was not just one single isolated character assassination attack made against me. The exact pattern of this character assassination attack, since 2004 to 2014 has been over used by the Vatican under Benedict XVI - against anyone - deemed as a threat to their specific ideology, especially related to gay sexual orientation. On, April 30, 2014, Cardinal Muller of the CDF, issued a forceful public statement against the LCWR leaders that is confusing and irrationally based on a misrepresentation of unsubstantiated facts. Cardinal Burke during and after the Synod on the Family, October 2014 - fiercely demonstrated by his unwillingness to even discuss issues related marriage and gay sexual orientation, the pervasive hostile attitude against homosexuality.
