Gay Adult Pornography - Roman Catholic Hierarchy
Reaction Formation - Voilent Homophobia - Nazi Racial Purity - & Globalization
Roman Curia “The Machine of The Slime”
Continues
In 1997, I came out for the protection of children, as young as 4 and 5 years of age, from the lifetime harmful effects - directly caused by the influence of the unsubstantiated antigay social and religious norms. Now, 18 years later, these lifetime harmful effects have been clearly demonstrated by the majority of the members of the Roman Catholic curia and hierarchy, by their reaction formation treatment dehumanizing gay people, especially gay loving committed relationships. Instead of educating - they are enabling public hysteria to increase the dehumanization of gay people. It is evil allowed, by ignorance and indifference - to be disguised as God’s love that history has proven by the Nazi Racial Policy (https://ke.army.mil/bordeninstitute/published_volumes/ethicsVol2/Ethics-ch-14.pdf) 1933 - 1945 ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Church_and_Nazi_Germany) and by today’s uncontrolled corporate globalization greed that ends up destroying the lives of millions upon millions of human beings. Photo - Tommaso dei Cavalieri
The only thing that is immoral or sinful about gay adult pornography is that it is the direct product of the unconscionable immoral Vatican’s unsubstantiated teachings on homosexuality ( http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/belief/2014/jan/10/uganda-homophobic-googling-gay-porn ). This includes, the ignorance and indifference that allows them to continue to exist destroying the lives of millions of children, globally, as most blatantly demonstrated by the majority of the members of the curia and hierarchy, e.g. Vatileaks, Roman Curia “The Machine of The Slime” (PBS - http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/religion/secrets-of-the-vatican/transcript-58/). They are the child victims of the Vatican’s unsubstantiated teachings on homosexuality and the adult perpetrators of gay adult pornography, by their collective reaction formation expressed through their obsessive antigay crusade and negative reactions to “Welcoming gay people” Synod 2014, denying their homosexuals desires.
Naturam expellas furca, tamen usque recurret.
(Though you drive Nature out with a pitchfork, she will still find her way back.)
The past 30 years - of the fierce fortified preservation of the Vatican’s unsubstantiated teachings on homosexuality is an obsessive and unconscious reenactment of Pope Benedict’s early childhood years - traumatized by the Nazis dehumanizing homosexuality publicly to create an effective scapegoat - to silence and remove Catholic clergy openly opposing the Nazi radical policy. The unopposed - Nazi racial policy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racial_policy_of_Nazi_Germany) led to the destruction of 70 million people (http://www.npr.org/2011/03/29/134956180/criminals-see-their-victims-as-less-than-human).
Benedict’s unconscious reenactments of the Nazis public dehumanization of homosexuals - it has been used as a scapegoat for bishops child sexual abuse coverups. It has also been exploited, as a political wedge - to usher people into elected office that over the past 30 years has led to the ravages of globalization - valuing profits over human beings and the destruction of climate change.
The obsessive public demonizing gay adult pornography by the majority of the Roman Catholic members of the curia and hierarchy - is again - an identical repeat of the Nazis public dehumanization homosexuals to maintain an effective scapegoat to keep the public distracted from their racial polices - as it is to continue the escalation of corporate greed of globalization.
As Catholic priests - we do not enable public hysteria against gay people, including gay adult pornography - we educate them, by first educating ourselves. So, let us “get a grip” and start doing our job!!!
Gay adult pornography is an internal representation of the unnatural traumatic forced repression of one’s homosexual sexual orientation during early childhood years growing up. Gay adult pornography - would cease to exist - if and only when a child’s natural human and divine expression need for love and to love is not impeded - by man made teachings disguised as being God’s will.
Other than the unanimous agreement of the participants of the Synod of 2015 - to immediately renounce the Vatican’s unsubstantiated teachings on homosexuality will be a global confirmation of the unconscionable immorality that remains dominate among the majority of the hierarchical members of the Roman Catholic Church. This is the “moral edifice of the church is likely to fall like a house of cards (http://americamagazine.org/pope-interview).”

Pope Benedict XVI
Catholic resistance to Nazi Germany
After constant confrontations, by late 1935, Bishop August von Galen of Munich was urging a joint pastoral letter protesting an "underground war" against the church. Under Reinhard Heydrich and Heinrich Himmler, the Security Police and the SD were responsible for suppressing internal and external enemies of the Nazi state. Among those enemies were "political churches" - such as Lutheran and Catholic clergy who opposed the Hitler regime. Such dissidents were arrested and sent to concentration camps. In the 1936 campaign against the monasteries and convents, the authorities charged 276 members of religious orders with the offence of “homosexuality”…
By early 1937, the church hierarchy in Germany, which had initially attempted to co-operate with the new government, had become highly disillusioned…

Homosexuals and Nazi Germany
...Trumped up charges of homosexual behaviour could also be used against someone who had upset the Nazi Party hierarchy...
...On October 1st 1936 the Nazi Party introduced a new department – the Reich Central Office for Combatting Homosexuality and Abortion. The Gestapo was given the task of hunting out homosexuals – a task it carried out with vigour - and an assumption was made that homosexual behaviour equalled dissidence and opposition to the Reich. Some senior Nazi leaders also believed that homosexuality was contagious and could undermine the Third Reich…

“A Still and Quiet Conscience: The Archbishop Who Challenged a Pope, a President and a Church
by John McCoy - book - May 10, 2015
…Cardinal Josef Ratzinger rebukes Hunthausen for allowing the gay Catholic group Dignity to use St. James Cathedral. The Seattle archbishop replies by evoking John 8:11 in which the Pharisees bring to Jesus a woman caught in adultery and demand that she be stoned to death. Fireworks follow:
“Hunthausen was recounting the Gospel story when Ratzinger, his voice full of wrath, interrupted him. ‘Are you presuming to lecture me?'” he demanded.
“The archbishop paused, caught his breath and quietly continued. In regard to Dignity, he explained, ‘I tried to do what I thought Jesus would do. Jesus didn’t wait until people changed before he talked to them. He began a dialogue and I think that’s what they church ought to do with the gay community.’
“Infuriated, Ratzinger silenced him again. ‘Don’t preach to me,'” he said…

Late-onset of post- traumatic reactions in Holocaust survivors at advanced age * Haim Dasberg **
Y. Sadavoy (1997), in his paper on elderly survivors, speaks of the traumatically-induced "false self' which is an "armour to meet the world," providing the conditions are not too unfavorable. The traumatic inner "true self' remains hidden, waiting to be released by later triggers. From this psychoanalytic perspective, survivors with hidden post-traumatic problems essentially suffer from identity disorders, diagnosable post-factum, after the late-onset has occurred. They act ''as if' it were not true. This "dormant, sub-clinical coverage" (Krystal, 1981), held up by "splitting" of the personality has to come to an end, at a time when the natural urge for reminiscing and reintegration of old memories take over in old age or after reaching mid-Iife. Until then, the "dormant" problems continue to be "walled off' (H. Krystal's term). As was said, the avoidance, detachment, constriction and blotting out of awareness, and blocking off during the subclinical latency period, fulfill Criterion C (of the DSM definition of PTSD, above)…

The Compulsion to Repeat the Trauma
Re-enactment, Revictimization, and Masochism
Bessel A. van der Kolk, MD
During the formative years of contemporary psychiatry much attention was paid to the continuing role of past traumatic experiences on the current lives of people. Charcot, Janet, and Freud all noted that fragmented memories of traumatic events dominated the mental life of many of their patient…Janet thought that traumatic memories of traumatic events persist as unassimilated fixed ideas that act as foci for the development of alternate states of consciousness, including dissociative phenomena, such as fugue states, amnesias, and chronic states of helplessness and depression. Unbidden memories of the trauma may return as physical sensations, horrific images or nightmares, behavioral reenactments, or a combination of these. Janet showed how traumatized individuals become fixated on the trauma: difficulties in assimilating subsequent experiences as well. It is "as if their personality development has stopped at a certain point and cannot expand anymore by the addition or assimilation of new elements." Freud independently came to similar conclusions. Initially, he thought all hysterical symptoms were caused by childhood sexual "seduction" of which unconscious memories were activated, when during adolescence, a person was exposed to situations reminiscent of the original trauma. The trauma permanently disturbed the capacity to deal with other challenges, and the victim who did not integrate the trauma was doomed to "repeat the repressed material as a contemporary experience in instead or . . . remembering it as something belonging to the past.” In this article, I will show how the trauma is repeated on behavioral, emotional, physiologic, and neuroendocrinologic levels, whose confluence explains the diversity of repetition phenomena.
Many traumatized people expose themselves, seemingly compulsively, to situations reminiscent of the original trauma. These behavioral reenactments are rarely consciously understood to be related to earlier life experiences…

Update: October 19, 2015
The Nazis were far more publicly dehumanizing of the Jewish people, however, Benedict did not become obsessive-compulsive in mistreating Jewish people. Why homosexuals?
What is of crucial importance here is to note - that Benedict’s obsessive-compulsive mistreatment of homosexuals - was and has remained the unconscious reenactments of the perspective of a traumatized - 6 year old child - that has been frozen in time, of the Nazis pervasive public dehumanization tactics made against homosexuals lasting for several years. Benedict - a child victim of the most toxic authoritarian dehumanizing antigay social environment, as an adult through the process of unconscious reenactments - he shifts from being the child victim to being the adult antigay aggressor, all from the perspective of a traumatized - 6 year old child.
This is not unlike the same reaction observed by the African hierarchy who remain intensely antigay, raised in similar lethal antigay social environments, as observed by their reactions made at the follow up - Synod of 2015.
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…
“In many cases these are people who are at war with themselves and they are turning this internal conflict outward,” …

Parental Autonomy Support and Discrepancies Between Implicit and Explicit Sexual Identities: Dynamics of Self-Acceptance and Defense
Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 2012
Projection
…According to Freud (1922/1955), a crucial distinction between projection and paranoia is that paranoia is always characterized by repressed homosexual feelings toward the persecutor. Freud believed that the persecutor is inevitably a former friend of the same sex,..When homosexual impulses become too powerful, persecuted paranoiacs defend themselves by reversing these feelings and then projecting them onto their original object. For men, the transformation proceeds as follows. Instead of saying, “I love him,” the paranoid person says, “I hate him.” Because this also produces too much anxiety, he says, “He hates me.” At this point, the person has disclaimed all responsibility and can say, “I like him fine, but he’s got it in for me.” The central mechanism in all paranoia is projection with accompanying delusions of jealousy and persecution…

Reaction Formation - Homophobic men
Evidence.
…A comparable finding with male subjects was recently reported by Adams, Wright, and Lohr (1996). They assessed homophobia and then exposed participants to videotapes depicting homosexual intercourse. Homophobic men reported low levels of sexual arousal, but physiological measures indicated higher levels of sexual response than were found among other participants. Thus, again, the subjective response reported by these participants was the opposite of what their bodies actually indicated. This finding also fits the view that homophobia may itself be a reaction formation against homosexual tendencies, insofar as the men who were most aroused by homosexuality were the ones who expressed the most negative attitudes toward it… Photo

Standard
Intense Negative Reactions
Benedict’s intense negative reactions towards homosexuals that followed after his post-traumatic reaction in 1968, clearly defines an existing pattern that has been observed by the midterm report of the Synod 2014 “Welcoming gay people” and the US Supreme Court 2015 legalization of Gay Marriage. First, there is an immediate intense negative reaction. Second, there is a complete absence of any validating authoritative evidence to support the intensity of the negative reaction, except for demeaning remarks made against gay people. Third, there is a firm commitment to continue fighting against gay marriage or accepting gay people. It is this antigay obsession that is exhaustive and tends to be debilitating in the person’s reaching his or her fullest potential in life. The third, point is also how antigay violence is increased and perpetuated from generation to generation.
In Benedict’s case we can see the lifelong harmful effects caused to, a brilliant theologian, a beloved friend, professor, colleague, and the like. What would his life had been like had he never experienced the dehumanizing effects growing up in Nazi Germany? How would the world be different - not only minus his obsessive antigay crusade, but how much more would he have been able to have added - unimpeded by the lifelong post-traumatic effects of the past? Now, try to imagine the difference in the world - over the same period of time 1927 - 2015 - of the same type of restoration to 90% of the world population human potential had the unsubstantiated antigay social and religious norms never existed.
In brief, the willful suppression of a child’s homosexual sexual orientation is a traumatic experience for the child that is repeated throughout the child’s early childhood years growing up. The memory of the traumatic events experienced in early childhood, because the child’s stage of development - are usually deeply repressed, however, the overwhelming unpleasant emotions connected to the events remains alive and disruptive throughout the child’s lifetime. In adulthood, any similar event or situation, to the past repressed traumatic experience, will active the intensity of the overwhelming unpleasant emotions in the present, but not the event or situation that caused it. The adult experiences feeling intensely overwhelmed, and immediately wants to escape the feeling. This may help to explain - the instant intense negative reaction that people express at the idea of welcoming gay people or gay marriage that is followed by their immediate refusal to discuss or provide any validating authoritative data to support their position on the topic. This is, again, because just the idea of gay loving relationships - activates the intensity of the overwhelming traumatic feelings connected to long forgotten early childhood memories that willfully forbade a child’s homosexual or bisexual expression of love.
Surprise
What makes the experience traumatic for the child - is that a child has no adult concept of the meaning of homosexuality. The child is taken by surprise by the rejection of an adult parent, which to a child feels like abandonment, and to a child this is equivalent to an unending death - all for something the child neither understands, nor meant to cause any harm.
It appears that the more severe the traumatic suppression of a child’s homosexual sexual orientation is - during early childhood, the severer the antigay reaction is - as an adult that is projected outward.
Benedict was victimized by the severest and most twisted form early childhood suppression of a child’s sexual orientation that became frozen time. It began when the Nazis deliberately used propaganda to increased the social prejudices against homosexuals. They did this in order to use the “idea” of homosexuality as an effective scapegoat to coverup their removal of the Catholic clergy who openly opposed the Nazi racial policy by falsely accusing them of being homosexuals. The Nazis by publicly denouncing homosexuals, as they did to dehumanize the Jewish people - they were able to distract public attention a way from their - coverups of their implementation of their racial policy.
Nazis EXPLOITING - German Homophobia 1933-1941
…we have recent attempts to reduce the disaster of nazism to Hitler’s alleged homosexuality, or supposed syphilis. In each case, one or two bits of dubious hearsay evidence are surrounded by much inference, speculation and guesswork to come up with a case for world history shaped fatefully and decisively by Hitler’s ‘dark secret’. Reduced to absurdity, a rent-boy in Munich or a prostitute in Vienna thereby carries ultimate responsibility for the evils of nazism… Ian Kershaw

Nazis EXPLOITING - USA “Religious Freedom”?!? 1981-2015
Therefore, what Benedict has been promoting as “Religious Freedom” is from his traumatized perspective of a 6 year old child, who as an adult is unconsciously reenacting what he remembers believing that it was the homosexuals that threaten the very existence of the Catholic Church and not the Nazis.
So, what in fact, the US Catholic Bishops have relentlessly been fighting for is that they be permitted in the USA to continue the same Nazi dehumanization tactics against gay people that are directly related to the Nazi racial policy (https://ke.army.mil/bordeninstitute/published_volumes/ethicsVol2/Ethics-ch-14.pdf). What the US Catholic Bishops have been obsessively fighting for is the US Constitutional protection by law - to treat gay people as if they are “subhumans” not deserving of the same rights and privileges shared by the rest of humanity (http://www.npr.org/2011/03/29/134956180/criminals-see-their-victims-as-less-than-human ). But now these Nazi dehumanization tactics are under the disguise of hierarchy of the Catholic Church. This is what is so surrealistic - that the Nazi dehumanization tactics are the very antithesis of the Catholic Church, though they are being openly expressed as the will of God. Photo
“Cold-blooded Murderers” - Curia & Hierarchy
US “Religious Freedom”?!?
I am a recent victim, like so many before me over the past 30 years, of this most deadly US sanctioned Nazi dehumanization of tactics being orchestrated by the entrenched corruption of Roman Curia - to remove me from the priesthood, because I came out for the protection of children, in March 1997 - regarding the lifelong harmful effects caused by the influence of unsubstantiated antigay social and religious norms. These lifelong harmful effects have been most publicly made evident by the instance negative reactions to the Synod 2014 “Welcoming gay people” and the US Supreme Court 2015 legalization of Gay Marriage. However, these lifelong harmful effects have never been more clearly exposed than - by the majority of the members of the Roman Catholic curia and hierarchy, though definitely not all. I am to be removed without any just reparation made - for the past 18 years retaliation tactics, especially for the irreparable damage done to my reputation by Bishop Walter Hurley and the Roman Curia, and all that entails - all because I came out to protect children. My “coming out” for the protection of children - was considered “unprecedented” by the US Catholic Bishop Conference, in 1997. The entrenched corruption of the Roman Curia and among the US Catholic Bishops has been notorious for destroying reputations, mirroring the same tactics used by the Nazis regarding homosexuals (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/religion/secrets-of-the-vatican/transcript-58/). Pope Francis has on a number of occasions - identified the overwhelming existence of this tactics - the ruthless destruction people’s reputations belonging to the curia and he has strongly denounced it calling them “Cold-blooded Murderers” (http://en.radiovaticana.va/news/2014/12/22/). Pope Francis as, recently as, September 4, 2015, made another empathic public announcement condemning it stating 'Gossiping Is Like Terrorism’ “a sickness within the Catholic Church.” Photo
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.”…

Globalization EXPLOITING - Benedict’s Antigay Crusade
In Benedict’s case, though not hardly limited to, we can see the lifetime harmful psychological fallout of the Nazis obsessive dehumanization of homosexuals, caused to children during their early childhood years can be far more deadly and lasting endlessly through generations, than the atrocities committed by Hitler and the Nazis. The severity of Benedict’s obsessive-compulsive antigay crusade was motivated by homophobia that was generated by the most inhuman traumatizing authoritarian suppression of a child’s sexual orientation. The severity of his homophobia was frozen in time at the age of six year old of a terrorized child, who mostly likely was strenuously attempting to save the Church.
Nazis Scapegoating Homosexual
political wedge
Roman Curia and US Congress
Nazis scapegoating homosexuals to disguise their racial polices, continues for - the Bishops coverups child sexual abuse cases and in the USA, as a strong political wedge to usher certain individuals into elected office. Over time, the past 30 years, it accounts for the similarities in the entrenched corruption in the US Congress and the Roman Curia. Both groups have continued as the Nazis did - to keep demonizing gay people, directly against authoritative data to the contrary - to increase the fear and ignorance that already exists in society, to be able to use gay people as an effective scapegoat - to continue to be used to coverup, to disguise their covert corruption. Of course this is not true of every member of the US Congress or the Roman curia. In fact, we have witnessed some extraordinary courageous stands for gay people, some members have been relentless in this endeavor, this most especially has been true in the USA.
Scapegoating gay people is a very profitable business. There is a lot of big money - depending on the viability of a healthy antigay crusade - to coverup a multitude of crimes against humanity that are connected to the globalization that values profits over people. The Vatican’s unsubstantiated teachings on homosexuality have and continue to played a leading role in supporting this type of global structural violence.
The Vatican’s unsubstantiated teachings on homosexuality played a major part in the globalization of the world - where profits are more important than people, including increasing the harmful effects of climate change.
Roman Curia EXPLOITING - Benedict’s Antigay Crusade
However, Benedict’s homophobia has been and continues to be exploited by many of his staff members. Many of the disturbing immature antics that took place for decades are appearing to be happening in full, but obvious, force during this Synod 2015. This is quite evident by the “secret” letter of the 13 cardinals (http://www.religionnews.com/2015/10/16/conservatives-high-stakes-vatican-summit-overplaying-hand/). What the hell is that all about?!? Burke’s trademark is secrecy. It is this type of secrecy that was the cause of all the problems that started for me 2 months after I come out in March 1997.
I am personally aware of the tone of the re-emergence these deceptive antics that began with the letter that I received dated and mailed on the September 17, 2015 regarding my status in the priesthood, which I will be writing about later. It too referred to wanting to set up a time to meet with me in secrecy! Clearly, indicating that in some significant way I was perceived as a threat to this Synod 2015. Because I was coming too close to the fact that Benedict was a victim of being exploited by members of the curia and helping to unravel the corruption of the curia? This also includes, their enormous jubilation regarding the gay adult pornography, and the hysteria it would generate in spreading gossip. But fools that they are - it is all backfiring on them, because the gay adult pornography - is shedding light on the massive reaction formation that is pervasive - existing among the Catholic celibate clergy regarding issues of repression of homosexual feelings, as well as, exposing who is involved in the corruption. However, this extreme lack of awareness of the repression of homosexual feelings among the participants of at the Synod 2015, is a lethal liability to 90 % of the world population. It must be identified. Photo
Roman curia - - & - US Catholic Bishops
“Death Marches”
Trying to remove me from the priesthood by the entrenched corruption in the Roman curia and the US Catholic Bishops for the past 30 years, at this stage in history, with allied forces from within and abroad led by President Obama and Pope Francis, regarding - the Synod 2014 and the US Supreme Court 2015 supportive of gay loving committed relationships and legalizing gay marriage - is unbelievably so identical to the Nazis overwhelming fears about the exposure of their crimes against humanity that they frantically raced to destroy all the evidence of their atrocities. The Nazis, in 1944, initiated the “death marches” of the Holocaust - to destroy the remaining prisoners of their concentration camps. Photo
The hysterical fear of exposure of the Roman curia and the US Catholic Bishops of the inevitable possibility of their losing the USA protective shield of torturing gay people, deceptively disguised as “Religious Freedom” it is imperative for them that I be destroyed. This is because the history of their inhuman treatment of me stretches as far back as 18 years ago, March 1997 - when I came out for the protection of children. Including the fact that I have been writing about it for the past 8 years that began with -
December 26, 2008 - AUSCHWITZ - CHRISTMAS 2008 - A flashback far more severe than in - BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN – Fr. Marty Kurylowicz
Reposting
Their relentless attacks over the past 18 years have severely impacted my physical health leaving me penniless and as in 1997, 2006, 2012, 2013 and now - demanding me to meet in Grand Rapids - from where I live - a round trip of 300 miles. They are well aware that it is impossible for me to meet in Grand Rapids and then to penalize me for not meeting. It is the equivalent to the Nazis - “death marches.” And to think that it was - gay adult pornography - that is responsible for exposing them both in the USA and in the Roman curia, is truly astonishing. Their attempt to remove me was so obvious — planned two days before Pope Francis was to leave for Cuba and the USA and it was supposed to be over and done with before Pope Francis returned. It was as obvious as noted by their attempts to disrupt the process of the of the Synod 2015. e.g. “secret letter” to Pope Francis (http://www.religionnews.com/2015/10/16/conservatives-high-stakes-vatican-summit-overplaying-hand/).
These tactics used against Pope Francis leaking false news media rumors of his having a brain tumor at the end of the Synod 2015 are all because of his respect and support for gay people. They also - help to explain the same kind of tactics used against me trying to remove me from the priesthood - also without making the necessary justified reparation - comparable to any civil law suit for the irreparable damage done to my reputation by directives members of the curia, now at the age 65 years old. Photo
The tactics that they have been using against me for the past 18 years to remove me from the priesthood - begins with - Simplification / Complexification, and the Perspective Shift. This amounts to their deliberate public statements simplifying the complexities of my situation that by keeping secret (1) their use of coercion tactics - to intimidate me into leaving the priesthood privately, because (2) I came out, as a gay Catholic priest, for the protection of children March 1997. Instead, publicly (3) shifting the focus completely off their ongoing cruelty to me and (4) all the while - claiming that I am being obstinate refusing to return to my diocese. Photo
In addition, they continued (5) to spread gossip against me - destroying my credibility, my reputation and means to support myself. These are tactics known as Shifting Ground (Gamesmanship). These tactics of “Gamesmanship involves fostering a state of upset or unrest in the other party as a means of reducing their resistance to yielding. Surprise is an important element in the strategy – surprise which results in the other party becoming flustered or feeling off balance or uncertain how to proceed (http://dspace.library.uu.nl/bitstream/handle/1874/601/full.pdf?sequence=4).” The letter to remove me from the priesthood - sent to me on September 17, 2015 two days before Pope Francis was to leave for Cuba and the USA - was deliberately meant to be upsetting and disturbing to me - so much so that it would have prevented me from writing anything that would be of any influence before the beginning of the Synod 2015 - because it appeared that my writings on the Thalamus Center - had an influence on the Synod 2014 - welcoming gay people.
But fools that they are - what I write about and post is all academic - meaning anyone who is academic would have the ability to have acquired the same information on their own. If I had any influence on anyone - it would have only been to alert them the academic research that has been available for the past 6 decades. Jesuits are known to be far superior academics than I ever hope to be. If I hadn’t tripped over my dog and twisted my back - experiencing excruciating pain for several days before - ending up in St. Joseph’s emergency unit in Ann Arbor - their Nazi “death march” plan would have fully succeeded as they had planned.
Secret Letter?!? —- Brain Tumor?!?
Removal?!?
Are conservatives at high-stakes Vatican summit overplaying their hand? - October 16, 2015
VATICAN CITY (RNS) Ever since a Vatican summit last year raised the possibility of making the church more open to those whose family lives may not mirror the Catholic ideal, conservative foes have been in uproar, waging an intense campaign to block any reforms from being adopted…
With all these twists and turns the saga was quickly becoming as absurd as it was convoluted, and it might have been seen as just another chapter in the legacy of Vatican intrigue that stretches from the era of the Borgia popes to the novels of Dan Brown — except that the plot seemed so backhanded it made the synod look faithless as well as foolish.
“The general opinion I detected among the bishops was a sense of disgust,” Bishop Marcello Semeraro, an Italian who is on the final drafting committee along with Wuerl, told Vatican Insider.
Another synod delegate, Archbishop Mark Coleridge of Australia, called the leaked letter affair a “typically Roman melodrama” that was “not untinged with psychodrama.”
The problem, Coleridge wrote on his blog, is that episodes like this tend to “aggravate the sense that the Synod is not much more than a political caucus, with ideological riptides swirling around us and the odd stinger drifting by.”
Already, he said, the deliberations are struggling to battle against “a fear that can become a kind of paranoia.”
“My reading of all this is that the ploy has backfired,” wrote veteran Vaticanista John Thavis. “I suspect most synod participants are not amused at this rather obvious attempt to pre-emptively discredit the synod’s outcome.”…

Another blatant attempt to manipulate the outcome of the Synod 2015 - glaring by the timing of the false press leak that Pope Francis is suffering from having a brain tumor - insinuating that he is mentally unbalanced.
Vatican Says Rumors About Pope's Health Are Attempt To Undermine Him - October 22, 2015
After repeatedly denying reports that Pope Francis has a benign brain tumor Wednesday, the Vatican is going a step further, calling the rumor "false information" that's meant to destabilize the papacy. The doctor named in the reports also says they're untrue…

These are all the same lethal antics employed by the curia members that they have been using for the past several decades - intimidation strategies. All identified as - “the sleaze and corruption that surrounded” Benedict XVI - in the 2012 Vatileaks. Benedict was “horrified” then and ordered a thorough secret investigation of the - Roman Curia - later referred to as “The Machine of The Slime.” The full report was called the “red dossier,” which he received on December 17th, 2012 and two months later Benedict resigned on February 28, 2013.
…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… 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…
It was a foolish attempt to discredit Pope Francis - because he talks with everyone and consults on a regular basis with an entourage of experts and colleagues. But I am a poor simple priest who has been sacrificing my life for children the past 18 years, not unlike many other priests, I do not have the wherewithal to sustain myself worn out by the barrage over the years of such brutality by members of the Roman Curia. I am sure that an investigation will find that the same people who were behind falsely leaking that Pope Francis has a brain tumor - are the same people responsible trying to remove me from the priesthood. I hope that my situation will very soon be rectified - including that the necessary justified reparation be made. Remove me and keep Burke, Chaput, Gadecki, and the like, now there’s a real supportive pastoral team for gay people. Burke’s conspicuous absence is remindful of Raymond B in “Rear Window.” Their unreasonable contention without offering validating dialogue of authoritative data, so similar to a minority in the US Congress - cannot be tolerated in the Synod 2015. However, I believe the unity with the whole Catholic Church - they will be canceled out. Review the history of the rise of the Nazi Party to power in Germany - the tactics are the same, especially the Nazi use of propaganda.
This includes not tolerating - those (likely the same) connected to the curia’s plot to remove me from the priesthood while Pope Francis was away in Cuba and the USA - sending me a letter dated and mailed on September 17, 2015, two days before he left - are identical to the antigay tactics that they used against Archbishop Hunthausen in the 1980s, because of his outreach to gay people. Hunthausen’s case has been empirically researched - identifying these tactics used by the curial staff of the CDF (http://dspace.library.uu.nl/bitstream/handle/1874/601/full.pdf?sequence=4).
The tactics that they have been using against me for the past 18 years to remove me from the priesthood - begins with - Simplification / Complexification, and the Perspective Shift. This amounts to their deliberate public statements simplifying the complexities of my situation that by keeping secret (1) their use of coercion tactics - to intimidate me into leaving the priesthood privately, because (2) I came out, as a gay Catholic priest, for the protection of children March 1997. Instead, publicly (3) shifting the focus completely off their ongoing cruelty to me and (4) all the while - claiming that I am being obstinate refusing to return to my diocese. PhotoBut fools that they are - what I write about and post is all academic - meaning anyone who is academic would have the ability to have acquired the same information on their own. If I had any influence on anyone - it would have only been to alert them the academic research that has been available for the past 6 decades. Jesuits are known to be far superior academics than I ever hope to be. If I hadn’t tripped over my dog and twisted my back - experiencing excruciating pain for several days before - ending up in St. Joseph’s emergency unit in Ann Arbor - their Nazi “death march” plan would have fully succeeded as they had planned.
Together, the members of the Roman curia and the US Catholic Bishops, have both harmed and destroyed the lives of an incalculable people - far more than the atrocities committed by the Nazis - in the form of “structural violence” that is far slower than “direct violence" though just as deadly.
Death marches (Holocaust)
…Towards the end of World War II in 1944, Allied forces advanced from the west, while forces of the Soviet Union advanced from the east. Trapped in the middle, the SS – not wanting the world to know about the Holocaust – decided to abandon the Nazi concentration camps, moving or destroying evidence of the atrocities they had committed there. Thousands of prisoners were killed in the camps before the marches commenced. These executions were deemed crimes against humanity during the Nuremberg trials.
Although most of the prisoners were already very weak or ill after enduring the routine violence, overwork, and starvation of concentration camp or prison camp life, they were marched for miles in the snow to railway stations, then transported for days at a time without food, water, or shelter in freight carriages originally designed for cattle. On arrival at their destination, they were then forced to march again to new camps. Prisoners who were unable to keep up due to fatigue or illness were usually executed by gunshot…

Who is on Whose PayRolls???
But it is time to bring these psychopathic antics to an end, because they are a lethal liability the human population we are to be serving. They clearly are becoming annoying and angering a number of participants. Cardinal Burke should be removed from the priesthood, including his accomplishes. They have been instrumental in allowing Benedict’s obsessive-compulsive antigay crusade to be exploited in the USA, as political wedge that has led us to the dehumanizing effects of globalization and the disregard for the devastation of climate change.. The continuation of their obsessive antigay crusade, constantly raises the question - in addition, to their regular salaries, whose pay rolls are they on?
It is indeed imperative for members of the Synod 2015 - to - follow the money by studying the demographics in the USA to discover the added reasoning regarding the - greatest resistance to welcoming gay people, in particular - this most recent attempt to remove me from the priesthood. “Walkout”!!! First, even the idea of walkouts, is real sign of immaturity, unconscionable for a member of the hierarchy, second - it is a familiar tactic - of a small group in the US Congress. Unbelievable that they would be so stupid to even suggest such a blatant acknowledgment pointing to the existence of the entrenched corruption. Following the money was the key to resolving the Watergate coverup, in the 1970s in the USA.

Recruitment
The post-traumatic reaction that Benedict experienced in 1968 would seem to have seriously effected his recruitment of members of the curia and hierarchy. It would appear he was only interested in choosing members who would be ruthless in removing homosexuals from the Church, because from his perspective of a 6 year old traumatized child, it was the homosexuals who were destroying the Church, instead of the reality that it was Hitler and the Nazis. In his recruitment he would not have been interested in academic achievements or educational backgrounds, only the ability to obey his directives. And more than likely he would not have been interested in anyone who would openly challenge or question his directives.
“A Still and Quiet Conscience: The Archbishop Who Challenged a Pope, a President and a Church
by John McCoy - book - May 10, 2015
…Cardinal Josef Ratzinger rebukes Hunthausen for allowing the gay Catholic group Dignity to use St. James Cathedral. The Seattle archbishop replies by evoking John 8:11 in which the Pharisees bring to Jesus a woman caught in adultery and demand that she be stoned to death. Fireworks follow:
“Hunthausen was recounting the Gospel story when Ratzinger, his voice full of wrath, interrupted him. ‘Are you presuming to lecture me?'” he demanded.
“The archbishop paused, caught his breath and quietly continued. In regard to Dignity, he explained, ‘I tried to do what I thought Jesus would do. Jesus didn’t wait until people changed before he talked to them. He began a dialogue and I think that’s what they church ought to do with the gay community.’
“Infuriated, Ratzinger silenced him again. ‘Don’t preach to me,'” he said…

Low Intellectual and Maturity Levels
This could explain why some of Benedict’s closest friends didn’t work for him or he did not choose them. Over 30 years, this would explain the (1) low intellectual level among the members of the curia and hierarchy, as well as the (2) low level of maturity and childish behavior, e.g. gossiping, name calling, spying, squealing about each others sexual secrets, etc (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/religion/secrets-of-the-vatican/transcript-58/). Of course this not true of all members, as we have been finding out by the public intelligent and compassionate statements made by some of the participants of the synod. However, given Benedict’s international renowned reputation as a theologian and author, including the prestige position he holds in the Vatican - his recruitment would not allure the most reputable applicants, i.e. career seekers, opportunists.
Psychopaths
Hitler’s idea of promoting human violence under the disguise of national salvation attracted psychopaths from all levels of society (http://www.mconway.net/page1/page4/files/Uniqueness%20of%20Nazism.pdf). The same was true for Benedict - with the ruthless severity of his the witch hunt for homosexuals it would have attacked his share of psychopaths, e.g. the Wisconsin boys, - Cardinal Burke and McCarthyism (http://fathermartykurylowicz.blogspot.com/2015/07/part-2-obedient-to-whom-1997-2015.html). Weakland, also from Wisconsin, in 1986 raised a red flag along with other prelates, regarding the unwarranted investigation of Archbishop Hunthausen, identifying the staff members of the CDF - the Draconian measures used, by the psychopaths - “amateurs-turned-theologians” the second-rate and repressive mind “riding on the waves of fears” taking over (http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1986-09-28/news/8603120562_1_archbishop-weakland-seattle-archbishop-raymond-hunthausen-seattle-archdiocese).
It appears very clearly that Benedict was exploited by some of the members he chose. It is clear that the psychopath behavior of the curia is not associated to him. He was operating out the traumatized perception of a six year old, who was not psychopathic, but who was terrorized. It appears he trusted a number psychopaths he chose. Because Benedict at times, often appeared genuinely surprised by startling news reports related to dubious activities inside the Vatican that were attributed to him. It seemed that he was upset by the Dino Boffo case and intervened to put a stop to the deception.

Part 3b- - Protecting Children - Pope Francis - “Sharply Distinguishes” - Homosexuality - From - Pedophilia - Making Bishops Accountable Child Sexual Abuse Coverups | - | OBEDIENT to WHOM??? - 1997-2015 Protecting Gay Children - Fr Marty Kurylowicz
Atrocities of Roman Curia and Hierarchy
Homophobia
Returning to the question stated above - how did this form of homophobia become so extensive throughout majority of the members of the Roman Curia and hierarchy for the past 30 years? It became the most destructive form of structural violence to all of humanity in modern times - far surpassing the atrocities of the direct violence - committed by Hitler and his Nazi Regime.
Pope Benedict XVI in 1968 appeared to have a delayed post traumatic reaction - triggered by the student riots, expressing a violent and blatant disrespect for the clergy and the bible - bringing back long forgotten terrorizing emotional memories from his early childhood related to the endless events of Hitler’s Nazi regime anti-Catholic siege - to silence and remove to concentration camps - all clergy who spoke against the Nazi ideology(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_views_of_Adolf_Hitler). The Nazis did this by increasing elements the ignorance and fear to the preexisting homophobia in German society, at that time. From the start of Hitler’s rise to power in 1933, when Benedict was 6 years old - the Nazis began their endless attacks against the resistance of the Catholic Church - who openly opposed the Nazi racial policy (http://alphahistory.com/nazigermany/religion-in-nazi-germany/). The Nazis in retaliation - made highly public false accusations that the Catholic priests were homosexuals. “Joseph Goebbels, the Minister for Propaganda, led the Nazi persecution of the Catholic clergy and wrote that there was ‘an insoluble opposition between the Christian and a heroic-German world view (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Catholicism).’” They did this to avoid public outrage for removing them to the concentration camps (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Church_and_Nazi_Germany), which they did this to silence them and to intimidate others from speaking against their racial policies. To the public - it look like homosexuals were destroying the Catholic Church. This very public dehumanizing propaganda denouncing homosexuals last for several years. Photo
…In the 1936 campaign against the monasteries and convents, the authorities charged 276 members of religious orders with the offence of “homosexuality". 1935-6 was the height of the "immorality" trials against priests, monks, lay-brothers and nuns…Kershaw wrote that the Vatican was anxious to reach agreement with the new government, despite "continuing molestation of Catholic clergy, and other outrages committed by Nazi radicals against the Church and its organisations…
…By the latter part of the decade of the thirties church officials were well aware that the ultimate aim of Hitler and other Nazis was the total elimination of Catholicism and of the Christian religion. Since the overwhelming majority of Germans were either Catholic or Protestant this goal had to be a long-term rather than a short-term Nazi objective…
Note: that this is the same tactic that has been used endlessly by members of the curia and hierarchy - for the past 30 years, “…‘the machine of the slime’ …words, dossiers of documents created to destroy reputations all based on lies…(http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/religion/secrets-of-the-vatican/transcript-58/).”
It was at this time, in 1968, that's has been documented - when Benedict seemly switched from being liberal to being conservative. It was the time he switched (1) from a few years earlier - being a major participant, along with his close friend and colleague Hans Kung, in the reforms of Vatican II - expounding the vital importance for greater openness on the part of a pope to hear from everyone in the Church before making a major decision - (2) to the time at Tubingen University - during the students Marxists revolts in 1968 (http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-21425105) that he stated was a time of terror “…where discussion must stop because it is turning into a lie and resistance must begin in order to maintain freedom (https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/ej-dionne-pope-benedicts-legacy-is-one-of-paradox/2013/02/11/441aa800-745a-11e2-aa12-e6cf1d31106b_story.html).”
Post-traumatic Reaction 1968
It was a drastic change in personality - more likely indicating the symptoms of a post-traumatic reaction that remained - significantly causing for the person - problematic situations - socially, at work and in relationships (http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/post-traumatic-stress-disorder/basics/symptoms/con-20022540). Among the many possible symptoms of a post-traumatic reaction are those of (a) avoidance, (b) negative changes in thinking and mood, and (c) changes in emotional reactions. There is a marked avoidance - in thinking or talking, including avoiding people (http://209.157.64.201/focus/f-news/1394392/posts) who are reminders of the traumatic events. The overall attitude about life and one’s self - is negative and hopeless (fatalistic - https://www.commonwealmagazine.org/blog/smaller-purer-church) about the future. Emotional reactions are uncharacteristically marked by angry outbursts (http://blog.seattlepi.com/seattlepolitics/2015/04/20/kneecapping-a-catholic-archbishop-the-hunthausen-saga-remembered/) and aggressive behavior, obsessively on guard for recurrent danger of past events, overwhelmed by guilt (http://209.157.64.201/focus/f-news/1394392/posts) and easily startled. There are any number of possible triggers in the present - may cause a flashback to memories the traumatic events of the past. It is like a war veteran, who suffers from symptoms of PTSD, when he hears a car backfire or door slam shut - he is likely to relive the traumatizing experiences of combat.
Brokeback Mountain - 2005
Ennis's Flashback
An example of this is most vividly portrayed in the movie "Brokeback Mountain." It takes place when Ennis and Jack are together again for the first time in 4 years, after first meeting on Brokeback Mountain. They are sitting around a campfire in the evening and Ennis is relaxing reclining back starring up at the stars. Jack looks over at Ennis and says to him, "Is there anything interesting up there in heaven?" Ennis replies with a very pleasant smile on his face "I was just sending up a prayer of thanks." This is a very tender moment in the film, which Jack is in a way proposing to Ennis. Jack tells Ennis that "... it could be like this always, just like this, always." Ennis's face loses its smile becoming strained as he turns his face away from Jack, looks down at the ground. Ennis then begins to soberly tell Jack about this vivid flashback he is having to his early childhood days growing up. Ennis describes for Jack this disturbing scene from his past how his father took him and his brother along this pathway in the country to show them the kind of violence that happens to adult men who lived together. The traumatic psychological effects from this event with his father appear to have remained vivid throughout Ennis's adult life. It is shown in Ennis's inability to form and be in a relationship, any kind of relationship, but particularly the one with Jack, to go with Jack, and build a life together.

Nazis EXPLOITING - German Homophobia 1933-1941
The evidence regarding Pope Benedict XVI indicates that as a 6 year old child - he was traumatized by the Nazis increased dehumanizing anti-homosexual propaganda - by building on the preexisting ignorance and fear of the societal prejudices against homosexuals. The Nazis used it to publicly accuse the Catholic clergy on trumped up charges of being homosexuals. They did this to coverup and avoid public outrage for removing the opposition of the Catholic clergy who were condemning Hitler’s racial policy. It was also a fierce means of intimidation to assure the silence of any further open criticism of their efforts to reach the racial purity of the Aryan Race as the "Master Race.” (There are many similarities that are found in Benedict’s efforts to silence and remove priests, sisters who openly discussed the emerging science on homosexuality, for the past 30 years.)
It is these traumatizing events from Benedict’s early childhood, beginning at 6 years of age that have been frozen in time, and that he has unconsciously been reenacting for the last 30 years (http://fathermartykurylowicz.blogspot.com/2015/01/cold-blooded-murderers-part-2-ghosts-in.html). From the traumatized perspective of a 6 year old child, he believed that it truly were homosexuals who were destroying Church. He did not see that it was the Nazis who were intent on destroying the Catholic Church to prevent any opposition to their implementation of their racial policy. The Nazis publicly continued to falsely demonized homosexuals, in order to use them as the scapegoats, to coverup the escalation of their crimes against humanity of their racial policies, to create the power of being the “Master Race.”
Surrealistic
This is where the surrealistic atmosphere of the curia and hierarchy generates from - because it is the dictates of a victim of a severe form of Nazi child abuse, Benedict, that is solely related to the subject of homosexuality - who as an adult, has unconsciously been reenacting the events of a traumatized child of 6 years of age growing up in Nazi Germany.
The decades of this long lasting obsessiveness of these childhood reenactments strongly indicate that they have been - frozen in time. They have been governing the Catholic Church, for the past 30 years.
It is amazing from this perspective of a traumatized 6 year old child, we can identify all the elements of that period of history of the Nazi Regime being unconsciously reenacted for the past 30 years: (1) the continuation of the Nazis unsubstantiated demonization of homosexuals 1981-2015, incorporated into the Vatican’s teachings on homosexuality, forcefully reiterated by Cardinals Burke (http://fathermartykurylowicz.blogspot.com/2015/07/part-2-obedient-to-whom-1997-2015.html), Bertone, Muller, Chaput, Gadecki, Cordileone, the majority of the US Catholic Bishops and the members of the Roman curia, though not all, as found in the Synods 2014 and 2015, (2) continually, against authoritative data, have been building on societal unfounded prejudices of homosexuals - scapegoating gay priests to coverup the bishops coverups of the child sexual abuse cases, (3) using the same Nazi tactics to suppress the emerging science of homosexuals, including pastorally meeting the needs of gay people e.g. Hunthausen, for the past 3 decades, by silencing, removing, theologians, priests, sisters, using means of intimidation, coercion, character assassinations to destroy credibility and reputations, (4) endlessly demanding “Religious Freedom” - to continue the Nazis subhuman treatment of homosexuals under the disguise of the Catholic Church, - the curia and hierarchy have been fighting to deny gay people the rights and privileges share by the rest of humanity, as the Nazis did, in particular to the Jews, Gypsies, handicapped people, ethnic Poles, Russians were all treated as subhumans, (5) recreating the same atmosphere described as "Working Towards the Führer” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Kershaw#cite_note-57).
FOR YOUR OWN GOOD
Hidden cruelty in child-rearing and the roots of violence (1980) - By Alice Miller
...In the earliest stage of life, it is possible for a child to forget about the extreme acts of cruelty he or she has endured and to idealize their perpetrator. But the nature of the subsequent enactment reveals that the whole history of early persecution was stored up somewhere; the drama now unfolds in front of the spectators with an amazing resemblance to the original situation but under another guise: in the reenactment, the child who was once persecuted now becomes the persecutor...

Realistic
Monsignor Krzysztof Charamsa
The contrast between surrealistic and realistic forms Roman Catholic priesthood could not have been more vividly portrayed than by Monsignor Charamsa, a theologian and an official of the CDF, who made a courageous act of self-sacrifice at great personal lost - by “coming out” on the eve of the Synod 2015 - to publicly challenged hierarchical inhumane treatment of gay people. Mgr. Charasma is a visible example of a priest who responsibly faced his own past inconsistencies regarding his rejecting his sexual orientation. In his interview, he is responsibly, as a priest, educating people on the topic of homosexuality.
Charamsa admitted that he had chosen his moment to come out: on the eve of the synod. “I wish to tell the Synod that homosexual love is a family love, that it needs the family. Every person, including gays, lesbians, transsexuals, carry in their heart a desire for love and family (life). Every person has a right to love and that love must be protected by society, and by laws.”
“Above all – he stated - it must be cared for by the Church” since “Christianity is the religion of love: that is what characterizes Jesus whom we bring to the world”. He emphasized that “a lesbian or homosexual couple should be able to say to their church, we love according to our nature and this good of our love we offer to others because it is a public, not private fact, and it is not an exasperated search for pleasure.”
…He had always known that he was gay, he said, but “in the beginning, I did not accept it” and so he “zealously” sought “to subject” himself to the teaching of the Church and the life it imposed on him; that homosexuality does not exist, and if it does then it is to be destroyed.”
…“He explained that he has passed from “rejection” of his own homosexuality to being “happy” that he is gay, “by studying, praying and reflecting on myself” and by “dialogue with God, and confronting with theology, philosophy and science.” He now has “a companion that helped me to transform my last fears into the force of love.”
He recognizes that the Church “will see me as one who did not know how to keep his promise, as someone who has got lost, and not for a woman but for a man.” He recognizes too that he will have “to renounce the ministry, which is also my whole life.” He insisted, however,“ I am not doing it so as to be able to live with my companion”, rather “this is a much wider decision that is born of reflection on the thinking of the Church.”
He explained this, saying: “If I was not transparent, if I could not accept myself, I could not be a good priest because I would not be an agent for (communicating) the happiness of God.”

Now, who is acting irresponsibly? Mgr. Charasma applied all the elements necessary in forming one’s conscience from the data from science, biblical studies, theological research and personal prayer. And in the end he makes the great personal sacrifice - out love for God and his people. We are most grateful for his courage and his commitment to God and His Church.
Update 10 26 15
Monsignor Krzysztof Charamsa: The Church Needs to Wake Up - Oct. 25, 2015
BARCELONA, Spain — The Vatican kicked him out and his diocese fired him, but Krzysztof Charamsa says his faith is not shaken. If anything, he says he's a better priest for coming out — and it's time for the Church to wake up…
Courage, he said, is exactly what the Church is lacking — a realization he came to after years of secretly studying scientific journals and textbooks about sexuality while working in the heart of the Vatican.
His intellectual approach brought him to the conclusion that the Church position on sexuality is based on outdated ideas rather than reality, Charamsa said.
"We have 50 years of human research about sexuality," Charamsa told NBC News in an interview in Barcelona. "We have certitude in many points, but the Church does nothing."
He likened staying in the closet to a psychological and spiritual prison. Yes, his coming out was public — but it enabled him to live with love and truth as the Church teaches.
"Today, I am a better priest," he said. "The paradox is that today, I cannot exercise my being a priest.”…

Indifference
And equally revealing is how society’s indifference allows the dehumanization of one group of people, as during the time of Hitler and Nazi party, those who they arbitrarily classified as “subhuman” that led to the destruction of 70 million people. It is the same way then - as it is now that led to the ravages globalization leading to the destruction of an untold number human beings.
The road to Auschwitz was built by hate,
but paved with indifference.
Ian Kershaw
Popular Opinion and Political Dissent in the
Third Reich, Bavaria 1933-1945
It is crucial to fully understand that Pope Benedict XVI is NOT a Nazi. He has long proved himself as a devoted and faithful Catholic priest, a brilliant theologian, a major reformer of Vatican II. To consider Benedict - a Nazi is to ignore how tragically children are traumatized by the influence of societal inhuman ideologies, and how it allows the violent destructive forces to mutate and continue to infect generations after generations unnoticed. This is especially true of the unsubstantiated antigay social and religious norms suppressing a child’s homosexual sexual orientation. Benedict, as a child was victimized by the severity of the Hitler’s and the Nazi Regime ideology of racial purity and as an adult victim, he has unconsciously reenacted many of the same humanizing elements - in the belief that he is protecting the Church, though in actuality he was causing it great harm.
Indifference - plays a major part in the atrocities committed in human history, most especially when children are left unprotected. From research, it is clear that Benedict’s father tried relentlessly to protect his family having to move the family - four times, when Benedict was a child. However, according to Kershaw - the social environment was toxic with indifference. Benedict like many other children during that time were left unprotected, mainly because people did not know how vulnerable children are to the elements of violence whether explicitly or implicitly inflicted on human beings in the social environment (http://www.adoptionsupport.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Module-5-Handout-5.3.pdf).
When looking for ways to make a difference for the better in the world, - it is important to remember - never look for a crowd to lead the way against indifference. It is truly the road less traveled, but one that makes all the difference in the world.
Recruiting Members - Curia & Hierarchy
Benedict from his unconscious reenactments endlessly reliving the traumatized perspective of a 6 year old child, Benedict in 1968 stated “…I learned where discussion must stop because it is turning into a lie and resistance must begin in order to maintain freedom (https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/ej-dionne-pope-benedicts-legacy-is-one-of-paradox/2013/02/11/441aa800-745a-11e2-aa12-e6cf1d31106b_story.html).” It is likely that any further discussion on the topic of what is likely related to the cause of the original traumatizing events - may be re-traumatizing for the individual - so any discussion on the topic appears to be avoided at all cost. (There are examples of this type reaction - regarding those who were opposed to the legalization of gay marriage in the USA 2015.) It is well documented that he ended all discussion on the topic of homosexuality. This behavior has been explained about what happens when -
…traumatic memories of traumatic events persist as unassimilated fixed ideas that act as foci for the development of alternate states of consciousness, including dissociative phenomena, such as fugue states, amnesias, and chronic states of helplessness and depression. Unbidden memories of the trauma may return as physical sensations, horrific images or nightmares, behavioral reenactments, or a combination of these…traumatized individuals become fixated on the trauma: difficulties in assimilating subsequent experiences as well. It is "as if their personality development has stopped at a certain point and cannot expand anymore by the addition or assimilation of new elements."
…early memory traces can be activated by later events that cause partial reliving of earlier traumas in the form of affect states, anxiety, or re-enactments. Their patients generally had a poor memory for traumatic childhood events…

Intellectual Deficiency
This seems to have significantly impacted Benedict’s selection of the members to the curia, CDF and the hierarchy. Benedict - from the traumatized perspective of a 6 year old child, would not have been interested in the intellectual background of the clerics he chose. In fact, it is likely he preferred clerics who were less intellectually proficient to be assured that there would not be any surprise challenges or open discussions on the topic of homosexuality. Therefore, this one criterion would help to account for the significantly lowering the overall intellectual level of the Church’s members of the curia and hierarchy, especially regarding any researching of the authoritative data on homosexuality.
Violence - & - Subhumans
Again, it is important to remember that Benedict is working out of the traumatized perspective of a 6 year old child. From that state of mind it seems - he erroneously believed the lies of the Nazis made up about homosexuals to divert public attention away from their real reason for removing Catholic clerics that it was because the clerics were openly opposing the Nazis racial policy. The Nazis retaliated by falsely accusing the clerics of being homosexuals, so that the Nazis had in the view of the public’s eye - a legitimate reason for removing the clerics - instead of because the clerics were opposed to the Nazi racial policy (https://ke.army.mil/bordeninstitute/published_volumes/ethicsVol2/Ethics-ch-14.pdf). Benedict, as a traumatized - six year old child, truly believed that homosexuals were destroying the Church, he did not see the reality that it was the Nazis destroying the Church.
Immaturity
Antigay Fixation
Benedict in his selection process would have only wanted those clerics who agree to obey his erroneous directives of protecting the Church from homosexuals. However, implied in Benedict's directives would be the unconscious reenacting of the Nazi dehumanizing principles of the their racial policy that considered homosexuals like the Jewish people to be subhuman. This means that they are not really human beings that they are no different than rats, and could be easily dispose of without regret and now this violence was sanctioned by a top official of the Catholic Church. It was an unstated contempt for gay people and over time he recruited a population of what strongly appears to be serious repressed and dissociated clerics from their homosexual sexual orientation. This helps to explain the extreme degree of the intensity of their collective antigay fixation suggests a level developmental immaturity though this is not true of all.
Benedict’s antigay crusade - would have also attracted the appetites of psychopaths, who went further in their ruthless and deceitful ways of removing gay priests, theologians, and those attempting to meet the pastoral needs of gay people e.g. Hunthausen. It would not be what Benedict intended, because he was working out the traumatized perspective of a 6 year old child, however, this was the intent of the Nazis in removing the clerics, they wanted them dead and they did kill many of them.
Mistaking the Vatican for the
Colosseum
However, this is where it seems his directives began to be mutated, to be exploited for personal greed of power and profit - among much less scrupulous clerics and accomplices. It was the perceived as the license to destroy people’s lives that a number of members of the curia and hierarchy mistaken the Vatican for the Colosseum and that it then attracted psychopaths from all walks of life. It is where the witch hunts for gay people became more severe and inhuman and the corruption of the curia greatly increased that eventually imploded as revealed in the Vatileaks 2012 and Benedict’s retiring 2013, ( Roman Curia “The Machine of The Slime” - PBS - http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/religion/secrets-of-the-vatican/transcript-58/). This unchecked form of Church violence still exists today in the curia - as was most recently found with the attempt to remove me from the priesthood. It is like it was with Hitler’s idea of promoting human violence under the idea of disguise of national salvation that was the attraction for psychopaths -
…Not only the street-fighters and beer-hall brawlers in the nazi movement were attracted by the idea of violently-attained national salvation. As much recent research has shown, a new generation of intelligent, middle-class students at German universities in the early 1920s soaked up völkisch ideas, those of extreme racist nationalism, intrinsic to the ideas of national regeneration. In this way, ‘national salvation’ found intellectualized form among groups which would constitute a coming élite, groups whose doctorates in law combined with a rationalized ‘Neue Sachlichkeit’ (or ‘new objectivity’) type of approach to the ‘cleansing’ of the nation: the excision of its ‘life-threatening diseases’…

Benedict XVI - Reenacting Childhood - Nazi Demagoguery
Homosexuals
Benedict, as a child of six years old and throughout his early childhood years, experienced traumatization of the absolute extreme form of authoritarian (1) dehumanization of homosexuals that was exceptionally deceptive and intentionally murderous, by the Nazi Regime (http://fathermartykurylowicz.blogspot.com/2012/02/gay-marriage-propaganda-tacticsb16s.html). The Nazis used (2) the tactics of demagoguery ( http://www.drw.utexas.edu/roberts-miller/sites/www.drw.utexas.edu.roberts-miller/files/demagoguery.pdf ) of their unchallenged dishonest and fallacious public discourse in rousing and justifying hatred - against homosexuals - in order to use them, as a scapegoat, to distract the public attention way from - Hitler’s and the Nazis covert promotion of their irrational, ruthless and lethal racial purity agenda. The Nazis then - having sufficiently increased demonization of homosexuals publicly - (3) they then accused the Catholic clergy - who openly challenged and opposed the Nazi racial purity agenda of being homosexuals to maintained the public support removing them to concentration camps to disposed of them.
The indifference that allows the dehumanization of any group of people - will end up being catastrophic for everyone.
In closely observing Benedict’s unconscious reenactments of his obsessive antigay crusade lasting more than 30 years, not only strongly indicates that (1) he has been suffering from the post-traumatic reactions from the ultimate authoritarian unsubstantiated demonization of homosexuality throughout his early childhood years that was simultaneously fanatically publicized by both Himmler (http://fathermartykurylowicz.blogspot.com/2015/01/cold-blooded-murderers-part-2-ghosts-in.html) and Goebbels (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Church_and_Nazi_Germany). It is likely to some degree - Benedict was (2) unconsciously reenacting many of the demagogic tactics that the Nazis used to promote their ruthless and lethal racial purity agenda, Benedict used to protect what he wrongly believed the Church to be endangered by homosexuals. But his beliefs are all still built on his childhood perceptions of the false diabolical deception that the Nazis made against homosexuals. Then - as now - the Catholic Church was never endangered by homosexuals, in fact, research found that as more gay priests entered the priesthood in the 1980s - the child sexual abuse dropped off “If anything, the report says, the abuse decreased as more gay priests began serving the church… (http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/r/roman_catholic_church_sex_abuse_cases/index.html)." However, the overall use of the Nazis demagogic tactics, hardly seems possible that they can all be contributed to Benedict reenactments, especially, the intense degree of ruthlessness and deception involved. Considering, Benedict’s post-traumatic state of mind - it is most likely that the severity of his instructions to silence and remove homosexuals may have been misinterpreted and for some the license to unlash more psychopathic retaliation. It is likely this situation - that got out of control - like all the other forms of corruptions that ultimately led to the collapse of the structure and organization of the curia, riddled with the immaturity of all the infighting and power struggles that led to Benedict retiring in February 2013. All the same antics that are happening throughout the Synod 2015 - the remnant of those who exploited Benedict and became intoxicated for the lust of power and greed for money.
“Walkout”!?!
Remnants of this lethal surrealistic behavior emerged before and during the Synod 2015 - attempting to derail the proceedings directly to prevent any restoration of the humanity of gay people, as real human beings (http://ncronline.org/news/vatican/cardinals-reportedly-criticize-synod-letter-francis-signatories-disassociate). It is the reversal of the Nazi racial policy the very core of the Nazi Ideology and attempting to move it out of the Catholic Church (https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/religion/us-archbishops-chaput-and-cupich-offer-sharply-different-visions-of-vatican-synod/2015/10/16/b797d128-743d-11e5-ba14-318f8e87a2fc_story.html). The annoyance and even anger, by what appears to be the majority of the participants at these attempts to derail the proceedings of the Synod 2015, is a sign that the reemergence of these types of past destructive antics, are backfiring (http://www.religionnews.com/2015/10/16/conservatives-high-stakes-vatican-summit-overplaying-hand/). The suggested “walkout” by a few members at the Synod - is blatantly identical to the forever derailments of a small group in the US Congress (http://www.cruxnow.com/church/2015/10/16/cardinal-pell-rejects-conservative-call-for-a-walkout-at-synod-of-bishops/). Is there a connection between these two groups? The Synod is the place about saving lives - not for destroying peoples’ lives. Archbishop Blase Cupich, directly addressed the issue of treating all people, as human beings - is most encouraging in reversing the past 30 years - dehumanization of gay people.
Cupich emerges as strong voice in synod - October 17, 2015
Amid reports of drama, division and deadlock among Roman Catholic bishops meeting in Rome, a delegate emerged from the closed-door meetings Friday to deliver a message of hope for many in the flock: The church will find new ways to offer help for families. That messenger was Chicago's own Archbishop Blase Cupich…
"I think we have to make sure that we don't pigeonhole one group as though they're not part of the human family, so there's a different set of rules for them," Cupich said during the roundtable news briefing Friday. "That would be, I think, a big mistake."
"In Chicago I visit regularly with people who feel marginalized, whether they're elderly or the divorced and remarried, gay and lesbian individuals, also couples," Cupich said at the briefing. "We need to get to know what their life is like if we're going to accompany them.
"I try to help people along the way. And people come to a decision in good conscience," he said about personally counseling Catholics.
"Then our job with the church is to help them move forward and respect that," he said. "The conscience is inviolable. And we have to respect that when they make decisions, and I've always done that.”
Pressed to explain whether that same approach applies to same-sex couples, Cupich said "gay people are human beings too, and they have a conscience.”…

Archbishops Cupich, Martin, Cardinals Pell, Wuerl, Nichols and others are signs that the Synod 2105 is working. There is a change in their attitude. They act like they experienced something unique, they never experienced before more captivating and worthwhile than the petty, but lethal nonsense - the remnants terror and fear. If I am right - it is a good sign. It is a special brief moment in time of maybe wonder? God’s wonder? I could be wrong.
I hope it is more than a collective calm on the part of some - because the issue of gay loving couples has been put to rest - so they do not have to deal with their own individual dissociated feelings about their inner homosexual desires. That would be most revealing and destructive to all of humanity further destroying the credibility of the hierarchical members of the Church. Photo
The structure and set up of the Synod - are all part of an academic process that has been researched and when they are used for the purpose of issues great than one’s self - they can transcend the realms of science in ways that are not researchable, but just as real. It is the understanding that comes with the effort and pains of open dialogue, essential for any organization, but crucial for the Synod. Where it will all end up, no one knows - but it should be a lot better than where we have been. My thought is that Pope Benedict would have likely been in the midst of it all, if he had never experienced the traumatic events of his early childhood years growing up in Nazi Germany. Because Pope Francis is implementing what he advocated that it is the duty of the pope to first hear from the differing voices in the Church before making a decision, as he stated in his 1968 book Introduction to Christianity. The participants of the Synod 2015 - first and foremost - should be making sure that what happened to Pope Benedict XVI never ever happens again to any child.
A significant number of participants of the Synod 2015 appear to be reversing the Nazi racial policy the core of the Nazi Ideology that in many ways were be unconsciously reenacted for the past 30 years. It is a most encouraging contrast to past 30 years, as expressed by remnants of this lethal surrealistic behavior attempting to disrupt the progress of the Synod 2015.
"Working Towards the Führer”
Benedict in his (3) single minded - traumatic state of reenactments of forever trying to save the Church from homosexuals - it appears he ended up choosing only those men who would obediently follow his exact orders - to be members of the curia and hierarchy - to witch hunt for homosexuals and annihilate them. But his idea of annihilation of homosexuals would be that of a 6 year old - that did not have the adult conception of lethal harm, for a child it just meant get “out of my sight.” Though - the idea of an all out open “witch hunt” for homosexuals and the idea of hatred and annihilation of human beings, as it did for Hitler - would attract many psychopathics, as well as, those suffering from similar though not as extreme authoritarian early childhood repression of their own homosexual sexual orientation.
In many ways, though most unintentionally, Benedict recreated the same personnel that joined the Nazi party “…the street-fighters and beer-hall brawlers in the nazi movement were attracted by the idea of violently-attained national salvation (http://www.mconway.net/page1/page4/files/Uniqueness%20of%20Nazism.pdf).” Archbishop Weakland was among the first, in 1986, to raise the red flag identifying the personnel of the CDF calling them “amateurs-turned-theologians” who became “headhunters and leaders” picked only because of their rigidity to doctrine - were, in fact, “second rate and repressive minds riding on the waves of fear ( http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1986-09-28/news/8603120562_1_archbishop-weakland-seattle-archbishop-raymond-hunthausen-seattle-archdiocese ).” It would also help to account for the lack of academic abilities and low intelligence of the majority of the members of the curia and hierarchy. Because Benedict in his post-traumatic reenactments would be in a state of terror to save the Church and would not be interested with any intellectual disagreements or discussion - only that homosexuals would be silenced and removed.
“A Still and Quiet Conscience: The Archbishop Who Challenged a Pope, a President and a Church
by John McCoy - book - May 10, 2015
&
There are four basic trademarks that belong to Benedict XVI or rather they belong to Himmler and the Nazi regime: (1) the irrational and arbitrary use of science, (2) Himmler’s dehumanizing and unsubstantiated obsessive antigay propaganda, (3) the infallibility of Hitler and by extension the Nazi regime and (4) blind unconditional obedience to Hitler.
Throughout the Benedict’s reign in the two highest offices at the Vatican: - (a) if he stated or wrote something, especially on (b) homosexuality - no other explanation was required, regardless if it was (c) contrary to science and he (d) demanded unconditional obedience. He strongly appears he picked only those who unquestionably agreed with all of the above to be members of the hierarchy and the curia. The most likely type of personality to agree to such absurd requirements would be of lower intelligence, insecure and the person’s sense of self-worth would be tightly tied to the prestige of being associated with Benedict XVI. In addition, it would likely attract a mixture of mercenary types of personality, bordering on being psychopathic, whose intentions are to exploit others, which has been well documented to have been the case, particularly throughout the Roman curia. There are many similarities between (1) Benedict’s unconscious reenactments in the composition of the members of the curia, though not all and their ultimate demise as noted in the Vatileaks and the documentary - August 2014, the “Secrets of the Vatican” presented by PBS - FRONTLINE (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/religion/secrets-of-the-vatican/transcript-58/) and (2) the formation and demise of the bureaucracy of the Nazi Party under Hitler, as noted in Ian Kershaw’s essay "Working Towards the Führer.”
"Working Towards the Führer”- Ian Kershaw
In a 1993 essay "Working Towards the Führer", Kershaw argued that the German and Soviet dictatorships had more differences than similarities. Kershaw argued that Hitler was a very unbureaucratic leader who was highly averse to paper work in marked contrast to Stalin. Likewise, Kershaw argued that Stalin was highly involved in the running of the Soviet Union in contrast to Hitler whose involvement in day-to-day decision making was limited, infrequent and capricious. Kershaw argued that the Soviet regime, despite all of its extreme brutality and utter ruthlessness, was basically rational in its goal of seeking to modernise a backward country and had no equivalent of the "cumulative radicalization" towards increasingly irrational goals that Kershaw sees as characteristic of Nazi Germany. In Kershaw's opinion, Stalin's power corresponded to Weber's category of bureaucratic authority, whereas Hitler's power corresponded to Weber's category of charismatic authority. In Kershaw's view, what happened in Germany after 1933 was the imposition of Hitler's charismatic authority on top of the "legal-rational" authority system that had existed prior to 1933, leading to a gradual breakdown of any system of ordered authority in Germany. Kershaw argues that by 1938 the German state had been reduced to a hopeless, polycratic shambles of rival agencies all competing with each other to win Hitler's favour, which by that time had become the only source of political legitimacy. Kershaw sees this rivalry as causing the "cumulative radicalization" of Germany, and argues that though Hitler always favoured the most radical solution to any problem, it was German officials themselves who for the most part, in attempting to win the Führer's approval, carried out on their own initiative increasingly "radical" solutions to perceived problems like the "Jewish Question", as opposed to being ordered to do so by Hitler…

Are conservatives at high-stakes Vatican summit overplaying their hand? - October 16, 2015
VATICAN CITY (RNS) Ever since a Vatican summit last year raised the possibility of making the church more open to those whose family lives may not mirror the Catholic ideal, conservative foes have been in uproar, waging an intense campaign to block any reforms from being adopted.
Yet as a follow-up meeting this month has progressed, the enthusiasm of the traditionalists could be overwhelming their tactical judgment — annoying and even angering enough of their fellow bishops they may have weakened what was once considered a strong position…
“My reading of all this is that the ploy has backfired,” wrote veteran Vaticanista John Thavis. “I suspect most synod participants are not amused at this rather obvious attempt to pre-emptively discredit the synod’s outcome.”…
At the same time, nearly every day conservative churchmen or their allies are holding press conferences to denounce their opponents or their arguments in the strongest terms, or are delivering hard-line speeches in the synod hall that seem to provide little space for compromise…

Uncertainty surrounds cardinals’ letter voicing doubts about the synod - October 12, 2015
…According to Magister’s account of the letter, which was dated a week ago (Oct. 5), the cardinals reportedly told the pope that changes in the synod process seem designed to “facilitate predetermined results on important disputed questions.”
Such questions include the three hot-button issues that have caused the most division during the synod process that began in 2013:
• The Church’s stance on whether divorced and civilly remarried Catholics should be able to receive Communion
• A more welcoming stance toward members of the LGBT community
• Couples in irregular situations, such as living together without being married
Several of the reported signers are conservative bishops who are on the record expressing reservations about changes in Church teaching on any of these issues…

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…

Parental Autonomy Support and Discrepancies Between Implicit and Explicit Sexual Identities: Dynamics of Self-Acceptance and Defense
Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 2012
Projection
When an internal impulse provokes too much anxiety, the ego may reduce that anxiety by attributing the unwanted impulse to an external object, usually another person. This is the defense mechanism of projection, which can be defined as seeing in others unacceptable feelings or tendencies that actually reside in one’s own unconscious (Freud, 1915/1957b). For example, a man may consistently interpret the actions of older women as attempted seductions. Consciously, the thought of sexual intercourse with older women may be intensely repugnant to him, but buried in his unconscious is a strong erotic attraction to these women. In this example, the young man deludes himself into believing that he has no sexual feelings for older women. Although this projection erases most of his anxiety and guilt, it permits him to maintain a sexual interest in women who remind him of his mother.
An extreme type of projection is paranoia, a mental disorder characterized by powerful delusions of jealousy and persecution. Paranoia is not an inevitable outcome of projection but simply a severe variety of it. According to Freud (1922/1955), a crucial distinction between projection and paranoia is that paranoia is always characterized by repressed homosexual feelings toward the persecutor. Freud believed that the persecutor is inevitably a former friend of the same sex, although sometimes people may transfer their delusions onto a person of the opposite sex. When homosexual impulses become too powerful, persecuted paranoiacs defend themselves by reversing these feelings and then projecting them onto their original object. For men, the transformation proceeds as follows. Instead of saying, “I love him,” the paranoid person says, “I hate him.” Because this also produces too much anxiety, he says, “He hates me.” At this point, the person has disclaimed all responsibility and can say, “I like him fine, but he’s got it in for me.” The central mechanism in all paranoia is projection with accompanying delusions of jealousy and persecution…

Reaction Formation - Homophobic men
Concept. The concept of reaction formation involves converting a socially unacceptable impulse into its opposite. To apply this notion to esteem protection, one may propose the following: People respond to the implication that they have some unacceptable trait by behaving in a way that would show them to have the opposite trait. Insinuations of hostility or intolerance might, for example, be countered with exaggerated efforts to prove oneself a peace-loving or tolerant person.
Evidence. The original ideas about reaction formation pertained to aggressive and sexual impulses, and these are still plausible places for finding defenses, provided that acknowledging those impulses or feelings would damage self-esteem. With sex, there are undoubtedly still cases in which people regard their own potential sexual responses as unacceptable…
A comparable finding with male subjects was recently reported by Adams, Wright, and Lohr (1996). They assessed homophobia and then exposed participants to videotapes depicting homosexual intercourse. Homophobic men reported low levels of sexual arousal, but physiological measures indicated higher levels of sexual response than were found among other participants. Thus, again, the subjective response reported by these participants was the opposite of what their bodies actually indicated. This finding also fits the view that homophobia may itself be a reaction formation against homosexual tendencies, insofar as the men who were most aroused by homosexuality were the ones who expressed the most negative attitudes toward it…

Sexual Repressed Homosexuals & Bisexual
And
Gay Adult Pornography
Truly I tell you,
the gay porn actors and
the gay prostitutes
are entering the
kingdom of God
ahead of you.
Gay Adult Pornography
&
Sexual Fetishes
There tends to be an overwhelming pervasive self-righteous attitude and disdained disapproval of anyone who has viewed gay adult pornography. However, this self-righteous reaction of superiority is far more revealing of the people who project their scornfulness onto those they deemed to be far less righteous.
These people would have had to viewed gay adult pornography and had been considerably - sexually aroused by the content to the degree that activated their repressive defenses to attempt to obliterate from memory the erotic feelings it evoked. They may be able to block it from their conscious memory, but not entirely, because it will remain alive and active in their unconscious minds. And when it surfaces - it will be projected on to someone else as if it never came from them.
Because, otherwise why would they become so outraged about someone viewing gay adult pornography - unless of course they are familiar with the content and the erotic feelings it evokes . Otherwise, why become so outrage about something they have no knowledge of, this would then be a symptom of a form of mental illness.
But the issue of viewing gay adult pornography goes far more deeper than activating the defense of repression and then projection. The ubiquitous spread of gay adult pornography throughout the Internet and the collective intense self-righteous reactions to it - says something about the truth about homosexuality - sexual orientation.
There is considerably much more to gay adult pornography, and that of all forms of adult pornography, including the display of all types of sexual fetishes than evoking intense erotic feelings. There is a lot to learn about human sexuality and the reasons that leads to the global population accessing of adult pornography, but in particular of gay adult pornography.
The truth appears to be that the sexual orientation of homosexuality is a normal and natural part of human sexual development that is set very early in life either just before birth or very soon after birth. And any attempt to disrupt the natural development of child’s particular sexual orientation - depending the kind and degree of intensity of this disruption - will have lifelong lasting negative effects regarding there ability to love others and to be loved. It negatively effects their ability to form meaningful lifelong and nurturing relationships. There is a real tendency that it will lead to some form of sexual acting out behaviors, such as, though not limited to, viewing adult pornography and the possibility of developing any number of sexual fetishes.
Burke’s Tormented - Gay Sexual Repression
Fuels
Gay Adult Pornography Industry
If it wasn’t for sexual repression - the pornography industry would be out of business, thus ending the exploitation of human beings.
Depending on the kind and degree of intensity of the unnatural sexual repression of the development of a person’s sexual orientation, beginning in early childhood, whether heterosexual or homosexual, will have varying corresponding lifelong disruptive effects, especially, regarding the person’s ability in forming and maintaining relationships.
Clinical Assessment
Internet - Gay Adult Pornography
These corresponding lifelong disruptive effects - include the likely possibility of being expressed through any number of sexual acting out behaviors, and sexual fetishes. This is visibly evident, as found on the Internet, today, that display an incalculable array of adult pornography depicting endless forms of sexual behaviors and fetishes that are heterosexual, bisexual and homosexual in nature.
Why Research - Gay Adult Pornography?
An academic objective clinical research assessment of the ubiquitous forms of gay adult pornography found on the Internet, would be crucial in our understanding how harmful is the sexual repression on a child growing up who has a gay sexual orientation or a child growing up who has a bisexual sexual orientation. It would be vital to learn, what are the life sustaining harmful effects caused by the varying degrees of the sexual repression of a child’s sexual orientation has on the child for life and how it may impact the lives of others.
In the case of Pope Benedict XVI and Cardinal Burke the sexual repression of the homosexual orientation was extremely authoritarian and pervasive throughout their years growing up in their social environments. This was especially true for Benedict, as both hostile social environments are historically documented as being heavily influenced with the dehumanizing antigay propaganda of Himmler and McCarthy respectively. The lasting harmful effects from the extreme sexual repression imposed on the early childhood years of both Benedict and Burke have been extremely severe globally on not only gay adults and gay children, but on everyone. This is evident by their unending obsessive antigay campaign that has also been historically documented for the past 30 years, noted by their fierce silencing the emerging science of homosexuality.
Such research, could begin to help us to understand the nature - in how and in what ways gay adult pornography differs from adult heterosexual pornography. Adult heterosexual sexual behavior that is not overt, but is benign, such as, public expressions of affection and love for another human being, a simple kiss, holding hands, embracing are ubiquitously displayed endlessly throughout every aspect of society, i.e. in love songs, operas, movies, advertisements, etc. Photo
However, for gay people, these same benign public expressions of affection and love are completely absent in society. Largely, because signs of affection, especially, between two gay males, evoke such hostile reactions from disgust to, as documented, to outright violence, to torture even to death by supposedly heterosexual male onlookers. How, why - on earth would simple expressions of love between two men - evoke in some other men, who claim to be straight - the absolute opposite expression of love - to become to mercilessly want to annihilate another human being(s)?
Burke’s Ruthless - Gay Sexual Repression
Genocide
Instead, these same harmless benign public expressions of love by gay couples have more often invoked intense violence even grounds deserving of the death penalty. But what is most reprehensible is that such unconscionable inhuman, cold-blooded violence directed against gay human beings continues to be ruthlessly fueled by Cardinal Burke’s public statements, such as, referring to gay couples as murders, and most recently his orchestration of Italy's fifth annual National March for Life, on May 10, 2015. Christians are killed “in the name of God.”
Public Obliteration of Any Visual Representation
of
Gay Couples
This kind of obliteration of any visual public representation of the natural and normal expression of affection and love of gay couples is a severe form of collective homosexual sexual repression promoting violence against human beings, a genocide.
Who’s The Blame
for
Gay Adult Pornography? Photo
It not only (1) fuels violence against gay people, at the same time fuels the (2) viewing of gay adult pornography, including making it the only source that (3) validates the reality and existence of adult gay people, admittedly not the best source, nonetheless the only source. And who is the blame for this? Those who chose to (a) remain ignorant (vincible ignorance) and those who (b) enforced the ignorance of homosexual sexual orientation i.e. Cardinal Burke. Together, they form a group on the basis of their unquestionable willful ignorance of homosexual sexual orientation an extreme form of gay sexual repression - reinforced by their intense self-righteous attitude that perpetuates their collective blindness - causing structural violence atrocities.

Psychopath Cowboys; Sociopath Herds: A New Theory of How Evil Happens - July 19, 2011
…Patriotism is but one of a great many ways to claim the moral mantel by assuming the role of ultimate moral judge and condemning others. More generally and more to the point, moral condemnation of one's opponents is the first refuge of a psychopath.
To look like a moral leader a psychopath need only follow a simple formula. Project your psychopathy onto your opponent. Simply inventory the list of dirty tricks you would be willing to play on your opponent and accuse your opponent of employing each one. If you lie, call your opponent a liar. If you slander accuse him of slander. If you corrupt public debate accuse him of corrupting public debate. If you don't care about the downtrodden, accuse your opponent of not caring about the downtrodden.
Isn't such hypocrisy easily detected? Not if the hypocrite is first to accuse. Projecting from normal moral sensitivities, he who casts the first stone must have a damned good reason, because it's such an audacious thing to do. The seconded to accuse, we assume needn't have a good reason. A retaliator is just trying to weasel out of the hot seat the first to accuse rightfully put him in…

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…

The Global Divide on Homosexuality - June 4, 2013
Pew Research Center
What lies behind religious homophobia - February 26, 2013
"And why is your church so anti-gay?," came back the obvious question. "Because it is so gay," I replied.
A furrowed brow invited further exposition. I then spelt out the logic. We interviewed clerics and ex-seminarians in the UK, US and Rome and uncovered a huge irony: the very institution that teaches that the homosexual orientation is "intrinsically disordered" attracts gay candidates for the priesthood in numbers way in excess of what one would expect, based on numbers in society at large. One seminary rector based on his own experience told me the number was at least 50%.
Gay Catholics like me will appreciate another irony with the news of Cardinal Keith O'Brien's resignation: that the very man whose trenchant rhetoric on the subjects of gay adoption and marriage has been brought down by accusations of improper same-sex behaviour from no less than four men who crossed his path in the 1980s, either as a seminary rector or as archbishop of Edinburgh. His decision not to participate in the papal conclave is not to be taken as an admission of guilt and he contests the accusations made against him. Nevertheless, it does raise some general questions about a possible relationship between the tone of anti-gay rhetoric and the identities of those who engage in such high-octane language on same sex attraction…

The Size of the LGBT Population and the Magnitude of Anti-Gay Sentiment are Substantially Underestimated - October 2013
Measuring sexual orientation, behavior, and related opinions is difficult because responses are biased towards socially acceptable answers. We test whether measurements are biased even when responses are private and anonymous and use our results to identify sexuality-related norms and how they vary…
…The results show non-heterosexuality and anti-gay sentiment are substantially underestimated in existing surveys, and the privacy afforded by current best practices is not always sufficient to eliminate bias. Finally, our results identify two social norms: it is perceived as socially undesirable both to be open about being gay, and to be unaccepting of gay individuals.

How Many American Men Are Gay? - December 7, 2013
WHAT percent of American men are gay? This question is notoriously difficult to answer. Historical estimates range from about 2 percent to 10 percent.
But somewhere in the exabytes of data that human beings create every day are answers to even the most challenging questions.
Using surveys, social networks, pornographic searches and dating sites, I recently studied evidence on the number of gay men. The data used in this analysis is available in highly aggregated form only and can be downloaded from publicly accessible sites. While none of these data sources are ideal, they combine to tell a consistent story.
At least 5 percent of American men, I estimate, are predominantly attracted to men, and millions of gay men still live, to some degree, in the closet. Gay men are half as likely as straight men to acknowledge their sexuality on social networks. More than one quarter of gay men hide their sexuality from anonymous surveys. The evidence also suggests that a large number of gay men are married to women…
…Additional evidence that suggests that many gay men in intolerant states are deeply in the closet comes from a surprising source: the Google searches of married women. It turns out that wives suspect their husbands of being gay rather frequently. In the United States, of all Google searches that begin “Is my husband...,” the most common word to follow is “gay.” “Gay” is 10 percent more common in such searches than the second-place word, “cheating.” It is 8 times more common than “an alcoholic” and 10 times more common than “depressed.”
Searches questioning a husband’s sexuality are far more common in the least tolerant states. The states with the highest percentage of women asking this question are South Carolina and Louisiana. In fact, in 21 of the 25 states where this question is most frequently asked, support for gay marriage is lower than the national average…

Porn Studies - 2004
Editor: Linda Williams
Contributors: Heather Butler, Richard Cante, Jake Gerli, Minnette Hillyer, Despina Kakoudaki, Franklin Melendez, Tan Hoang Nguyen, Ara Osterweil, Zabet Patterson, Constance Penley, Angelo Restivo, Maria St. John, Eric Schaefer, Deborah Shamoon, Michael Sicinski, Thomas Waugh, Linda Williams
Brief description:
In her pioneering book Hard Core, Linda Williams put moving-image pornography on the map of contemporary scholarship with her analysis of the most popular and enduring of all film and video genres. Now, fifteen years later, she showcases the next generation of critical thinking about pornography and signals new directions for study and teaching. Porn Studies resists the tendency to situate pornography as the outer limit of what can be studied and discussed. With revenues totaling between ten and fourteen billion dollars annually—more than the combined revenues of professional football, basketball, and baseball—visual, hard-core pornography is a central feature of American popular culture. It is time, Williams contends, for scholars to recognize this and give pornography a serious and extended analysis.
The essays in this volume move beyond feminist debates and distinctions between a “good” erotica and a “bad” hard core. Contributors examine varieties of pornography from the tradition of the soft-core pin-up through the contemporary hard-core tradition of straight, gay, and lesbian videos and dvds to the burgeoning phenomenon of pornography on the Internet…
Linda Williams is Professor of Film Studies and Rhetoric and Director of the Program in Film Studies and of the Center for New Media at the University of California, Berkeley.

Pornography Consumption and US Adults' Attitudes toward Gay Individuals' Civil Liberties, Moral Judgments of Homosexuality, and Support for Same-Sex Marriage: Mediating and Moderating Factors
Paul J. Wright, Robert S. Tokunaga & Soyoung Bae - 18 Feb 2014
Abstract
This study compared views on homosexuality among US adults who varied in their consumption of pornography. Nationally representative cross-sectional data generated by the General Social Survey (GSS) between 2000 and 2012 were employed. Pornography consumers expressed more positive attitudes toward gay individuals' civil liberties, more moral acceptance of homosexuality, and more support for same-sex marriage. Moderation analyses indicated the importance of consumers' views on personal freedom and morality. Associations between pornography consumption and positive views on homosexuality were strongest when consumers placed a premium on personal freedom and adopted a relativistic perspective on morality. Mediation analyses indicated that pornography consumption indirectly predicted more positive views on homosexuality through a nontraditional attitude toward sex. Supplementary analysis of nationally representative three-wave GSS panel data confirmed the temporal sequencing of these links. Prior pornography consumption predicted a more positive subsequent attitude toward nontraditional sex, which in turn predicted more positive subsequent views on homosexuality.

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

June 28, 1997 - Kurylowicz Comes Out

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?”...

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.
