You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.

On these two commandments hang

WHY? & HOW?
A Reaction Formation Against Porn
Those who advocate against the dangers of sexual arousal fear their own desires
David J. Ley Ph.D. - May 25, 2014
In May 2014, a Chicago-area Catholic priest was arrested, allegedly for exposing himself to other adults at a gas station. He turned himself in after he was identified by the license plate on his car. Even now, I imagine the man is sitting in a police station, tormented by his actions, in agony for his mistakes. I sympathize with the pain he must feel, and his fear of the rejection, judgment and scorn he will surely experience from his Church and congregation.
The irony of his hypocrisy is made worse by the monsignor’s recent campaign against the seductive, insidious and “addictive” dangers of Internet porn. The clergyman has written and spoken publicly about how Internet pornography, so readily accessible to teens on their phones and computers, causes neurochemicals changes in their brains, and warps the young people’s ideas of sex, love and intimacy:
“One huge concern is the personal isolation that porn creates. It is such a fake form of intimacy and love, it does the absolute opposite of fulfilling each person’s need for intimacy and love. ... There are great negative effects on people on a social, personal, family and relational level.
“It is just a lie, a false presentation (of love and intimacy) … Many, if not most, kids are starting to get addicted.”
He went on to suggest that the crisis of Internet pornography was something that parents, congregations and communities needed to act on, because “Kids ages 11 to 17 are the highest consumers of pornography, according to recent statistics.”
This man’s well-meaning but destructive campaign was based on misconceptions, driven by fear, probably his own fears, of the power that sexual arousal has in his life and that of others. Porn isn’t addictive, it doesn’t change one’s brain, and children under 17 are definitely not the highest consumers of pornography. Porn isn’t addictive, but perhaps fear is.
As an advocate against the sex/porn addiction industry, I am regularly challenged with fear-based rhetoric, that porn and sex can lead people to dangerous, destructive, frightening sexual acts…
A reaction formation is a psychological concept, whereby a person with a strong, uncomfortable desire, develops an even stronger, exaggerated, public stance against that secret, shameful desire. Shakespeare knew this human dynamic, when he wrote in Hamlet, “The lady doth protest too much, methinks.”
Mark Foley is a former US House Representative, who was a political leader against child pornography, homosexuality and sex offenses against children. He resigned from the House after revelations of a scandal involving a young male page and Foley’s inappropriate communications with the young man. Ted Haggard is an American minister, who preached against homosexuality and exhorted his congregations to support anti-gay legislations. Haggard was later exposed as engaging in homosexual relationships, and even later identified himself as bisexual. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrichcastigated President Bill Clinton’s infidelity during impeachment proceedings, while Gingrich himself was having an affair…

Lee McIntyre - 2018
...Are we living in a post-truth world, where “alternative facts” replace actual facts and feelings have more weight than evidence? How did we get here? In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, Lee McIntyre traces the development of the post-truth phenomenon from science denial through the rise of “fake news,” from our psychological blind spots to the public's retreat into “information silos.”
What, exactly, is post-truth? Is it wishful thinking, political spin, mass delusion, bold-faced lying? McIntyre analyzes recent examples—claims about inauguration crowd size, crime statistics, and the popular vote—and finds that post-truth is an assertion of ideological supremacy by which its practitioners try to compel someone to believe something regardless of the evidence…

Only Bad for Believers? Religion, Pornography Use, and Sexual Satisfaction Among American Men
January 2018 - The Journal of Sex Research
Abstract
Research has often demonstrated a negative association between pornography use and various intrapersonal and relationship outcomes, particularly for men. Several recent studies, however, have suggested that the negative association between pornography use and these indicators is stronger among more religious Americans, suggesting that moral incongruence (engaging in an activity that violates one's sacred values) and the attendant shame or cognitive dissonance, rather than the pornography use per se, may be the primary factor at work. The current study tested and extended this theory by examining how religion potentially moderates the link between pornography use and sexual satisfaction in a national random sample of American adults (N=1,501). Analyses demonstrated that, while pornography use was negatively associated with sexual satisfaction for American men (not women), among men who rarely attended religious services or held a low opinion of the Bible, this negative association essentially disappeared. Conversely, the negative association between frequency of pornography consumption and sexual satisfaction was more pronounced for men with stronger ties to conventional religion. These findings suggest that the connection between pornography use and sexual satisfaction, especially for men, depends largely on what viewing pornography means to the consumer and their moral community, and less so on the practice itself.

Perceived addiction to Internet pornography and psychological distress: Examining relationships concurrently and over time.
Abstract
In the United States, Internet pornography use is a common behavior that has risen in popularity in recent years. The present study sought to examine potential relationships between pornography use and well-being, with a particular focus on individual perceptions of pornography use and feelings of addiction. Using a large cross-sectional sample of adults (N = 713), perceived addiction to Internet pornography predicted psychological distress above and beyond pornography use itself and other relevant variables (e.g., socially desirable responding, neuroticism). This model was replicated using a large cross-sectional sample of undergraduates (N = 1,215). Furthermore, a 1-year, longitudinal follow-up with a subset of this sample (N = 106) revealed a relationship between perceived addiction to Internet pornography and psychological distress over time, even when controlling for baseline psychological distress and pornography use. Collectively, these findings suggest that perceived addiction to Internet pornography, but not pornography use itself, is uniquely related to the experience of psychological distress.

America’s Sexual Hypocrisy Addiction
June 23, 2015
A new poll shows a rather large discrepancy between what Americans say they think about porn, extramarital sex, and sexually active teens—and what they actually practice in their real lives.
When it comes to sex, America’s motto is “Do as I say, not as I do.”
New data from Gallup’s Values and Beliefs Survey shows that men and women differ in their moral attitudes toward controversial sexual subjects like pornography, extramarital affairs, and premarital sex. Most notably, 43 percent of American men over 18 morally approve of pornography but only 25 percent of women do, constituting the largest gender gap in the study.
But Americans of all genders are sexual hypocrites. For many of the major issues that Gallup tracks, American sexual behaviors are drastically at odds with American sexual beliefs. As a society, we often wag our collective fingers at porn viewers, sexually active teens, cheaters, and the promiscuous but, statistically speaking, we’re only chastising ourselves.
Americans are perhaps most two-faced about their use of pornography, especially given that less than half of men and only a quarter of women told Gallup that they condone the medium.
…Here’s what we do know about America’s relationship to porn: Domestically, porn is a $10 billion industry. Most major porn websites receive millions of unique visitors per month, with PornHub ranking as one of the top 50 websites in the U.S. by traffic. One study of American university students found that 87 percent of young men and 31 percent of young women view pornography. And in 2010, Nielsen found that 29 percent of American working adults had accessed adult websites from their work computers.
Putting these pieces together, it’s clear that American porn enthusiasts far outnumber the statistical minority of professed pornography viewers and supporters… Read more: https://www.thedailybeast.com/americas-sexual-hypocrisy-addiction

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…

A Personal Concern
Repression seems to figure prominently into the puzzle of pornography. In 2009 Michael P. Twohig, a psychologist at Utah State University, asked 299 undergraduate students whether they considered their pornography consumption problematic; for example, causing intrusive sexual thoughts or difficulty finding like-minded sex partners. Then he assessed the students with an eye to understanding the root causes of their issues.
It turns out that among porn viewers, the amount of porn each subject consumed had nothing to do with his or her mental state. What mattered most, Twohig found, was whether the subjects tried to control their sexual thoughts and desires. The more they tried to clamp down on their urge for sex or porn, the more likely they were to consider their own pornography use a problem. The findings suggest that suppressing the desire to view pornography, for example, for moral or religious reasons, might actually strengthen the urge for it and exacerbate sexual problems. It’s all about “personal views and personal values,” Twohig says. In other words, the effects of pornography—positive or negative—have little to do with the medium itself and everything to do with the person viewing it…Read more: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-sunny-side-of-smut/?page=2
It is obvious to the world that for over the past 30 years, the majority of the members of the curia and hierarchy have been obsessively leading a global antigay crusade - publicly condemning homosexuality, while simultaneously fiercely and completely suppressing the science on homosexuality and this their obsession has only exacerbated the gay sexual acting out activity of the Vatican and expedited the expansion of globalization...
As always, the above does not apply to all members of the curia and hierarchy. We have some truly remarkable members, however, it is a small number, but regardless when they shine with kindness - the love of Christ - their light is so bright it is more than just comforting - it is renewed hope - it lets us know that we are not alone in our struggles, because they are struggling too and keeping the faith. Few but enormously essential in Christ. It seems that great things never happens in a herd, even Christ started with only a few to change the world. When any of us mirrors that is when we love one another as Christ has loved us - Christ's love shines through us with the same bright light. I am harsh to the rest of the members of the curia and hierarchy because children lives are being destroyed for life - children like Benedict XVI who grew up in the 1930s, this violence against children - continues moment to moment every day - because of their fear to face the truth about the science on homosexuality and who they are. They rather spend theirs lives projecting their repressed homoerotic feelings and thoughts onto others - onto others who cannot defend themselves. The US bishops obsessive concerns over condemning pornography - gay ADULT pornography, which anyone who has a mature understanding of sexuality - meaning they have come to know and accept their sexuality (they have spent the time to remove the plank in their own eye first) know that they are outwardly trying to repress their forever recurring internal sexual desires that they were wrongly told during their early childhood years - were evil. It was a traumatic experience that they have long forgotten, however, they are tormented by it every hour of every day. This is harm that they are causing to children around the world. Pornography is not the problem - the problem exists within themselves - individually. They are truly very unhappy people and have never been in love, in fact, they do not know the meaning of love. This is likely, because they have never been truly loved for who they are. The absence of authoritative facts from the science on homosexuality determined after listening to people's strong negative emotional reactions against pornography, gay ADULT pornography tells us everything about who they are. Because their statements are projections "a form of defense in which unwanted feelings are displaced onto another person, where they then appear as a threat from the external world."

Sincerely, no disrespect meant to Cardinal Kevin Farrell, the prefect of the Dicastery for Laity, the Family and Life, however, he appears to demonstrate a common, though, a blatant mistake in judgment that we all make. Farrell made a statement regarding the fact that
…Priests are not the best people to train others for marriage…
“They have no credibility; they have never lived the experience; they may know moral theology, dogmatic theology in theory, but to go from there to putting it into practice every day … they don’t have the experience,”
This of course, is clearly true, but this is nothing new. In 1970, we were taught this fact in the seminary and parishes for decades in the US - have organized married couples do to this training for those wishing to get married. Whenever, we make an accusation about another person, we should always check to see if the same accusation applies to us personally. This is the Gospel story about the speck and the plank in the eye (Matthew 7:3-5). In psychological terminology - it is labeled projection.

However, in the absence of the authoritative knowledge of the science of human sexuality, especially the science on homosexuality - the members of the curia and the hierarchy have no credibility in training anyone in moral or dogmatic theology. Human sexuality is all about love - it is inseparable in attempting to understand human beings. The absence of the science on homosexuality renders whatever they have to say, about gay people, as meaningless, in fact it is lethal. Their words are empty - they simply do not resonate in people, because the authentic emotion of love is absence. Their meaning of love is so twisted around that it means the opposite. They have never experienced real love, an adult form of love. Though, they will adamantly deny this fact to be sure - however, there obsessive animosity directed at gay people proves them wrong. This is because they have an immature understanding of human sexuality, they are not in touch wth their own sexuality - a latency fixation - they haven’t developed an adult understanding of sexuality or an acceptance of their gay sexual orientation. They spend most of their life attempting to repress their true sexual orientation that is a human impossibility.You can no more repress - the 24/7 functioning of your sexual orientation (The Eyes Have It: Sex and Sexual Orientation Differences in Pupil Dilation Patterns, August 3, 2012),
than you can repress your heart from beating or your breathing without causing serious harm to your life, even threatening your life. Therefore, their continuous attempt to repress the 24/7 functioning of their sexual orientation - becomes for them - a torturous lifestyle (Henry Krystal PDF) and this is what constitutes the murderous mayhem. Examples of this torturous lifestyle are clearly visible throughout the Vatican's members of the curia and the hierarchy and described, though, not intentionally by Pope Francis, in his yearly Christmas addresses to them, beginning in 2014.

Jan 8th 2014
FORMER PRESIDENT OF Ireland, Mary McAleese, has made a number of strong comments about the Catholic Church.
Speaking before a lecture at the Royal Society of Edinburgh, McAleese commented on homosexuality in the church and the treatment of gay people during an interview.
She also said that if former Cardinal Keith O’Brien – who retired following allegations he had engaged in inappropriate sexual activity with men – told his story it “could have been of great assistance to gay people”…
…The Herald Scotland reports that McAleese said that homosexuality is “not something that is perceived as something that is intrinsically disordered” nowadays, and that things written by figures such as former Pope Benedict are contradictory to the understanding of most Catholics today.
She said that the issue of homosexuality was “not so much the elephant in the room but a herd of elephants” for the Catholic Church…

“Murderous Mayhem”
Hate & Anger
Addiction
They seem to be always, disproportionally in a fit of an emotional outrage, an emotional outburst - complaining about or fiercely condemning - something quite trivial about being gay but they are never happy or at peace. It appears more and more like an addiction to hate and anger. Their relationships seem to be all involved in discussions a intense emotional hatred - arousing and sustaining a heighten degree of anger - like addicts gathering at a crack house or alcoholics at a bar, they are never at a gathering without their drug of choice. So, it seems.
“Murderous Mayhem” is related to the sexual repression of a person beginning in early childhood. The suppression of a child’s gay sexual orientation - is a destruction of a child’s development of empathy. It is a destruction of a child’s ability to love. These are the lifelong harmful effects that are caused to children growing up gay - the severity of these effects are depended on the degree of the antigay hostility and type or manner of this antigay hostility existing in the social environment in which they were raised. The Vatican is overflowing with an assortment of these lifelong harmful effects, easily observable among the majority of the members of the curia and hierarchy, in fact it is so blatant that it like a bright flashing neon sign, a 100 times larger than St. Peter’s. This is due to their arrogance that comes from being isolated behind the walls of the Vatican that allows a false perception of reality about homosexuality, to thrive, unchallenged. And from this homophobic distorted existence they make canonical judgments about issues and people that they have no realistic factual knowledge of, these are flashbacks to the arbitrary disorganization structure of the Nazi regime. It is criminal to allow them to continue, destroying people’s lives. This type of violence is known as structural violence, it “…produces suffering and death as often as direct violence does, though the damage is slower, more subtle, more common, and more difficult to repair.is just a deadly as direct violence (Structural Violence - Introduction by Deborah Du Nann Winter and Dana C. Leighton - Christie, D. J., Wagner, R. V., & Winter, D. A. (Eds.). (2001). Peace, Conflict, and Violence: Peace Psychology for the 21st Century.).” Mr. Cruz did not have chance in a billon of ever experiencing justice, most especially because he is gay, if it was not for Pope Francis. When you do not have the seasoned dialogue between science and religion on homosexuality to back up, to substantiate your statements on homosexuality - this is known as the breach - then the only place to find validation for your statements, however, leads back to their own unconscious personal thoughts and feelings on homosexuality. And this is what lights the neon sign of repressed homosexuals. And if your antigay statements are in lockstep like they are with the majority of the members of the curia hierarchy then the neon sign burns so brightly and clearly that there is no question about the fact that they are closeted repressed homosexuals. In the complete absence of the science on homosexuality - renders their obsessive antigay crusade - their demonizing gay people, as they did with Mr. Cruz, and their enthusiastic and fanatical concern about gay adult pornography - as vivid insights into torturous lifestyle trying to repress the 24/7 functioning of their gay sexual orientation. Their complete lack of concern for those suffering in world that Pope Francis is attending to is further validation of their lives as repressed homosexuals.
The Compulsion to Repeat the Trauma
Re-enactment, Revictimization, and Masochism
Bessel A. van der Kolk, MD
Early Childhood Antigay Traumas
Unconsciously
Recreating the Nazi Regime
Organizational Culture
Globally - Today
They seem to have the same disorganization, fierce infighting and rivalry organizational culture that existed within the Nazi regime. This is what led to their demise and the deaths of over 70 million people by the end of World War 2 (Ian Kershaw). This is an extraordinary phenomenon destined for further and future critical investigations and research, especially, in this age of social media. How did this Nazi organizational culture come to be recreated within the Vatican and throughout the members of the curia and hierarchy, for the past 3 decades?
Have they succeeded?
What is key is that - they are neither at peace with one another or with themselves. It is as if they were attempting to recreate the same Nazi organizational culture throughout the world, though it does not appear to be a conscious intent. Regardless, have they succeeded? Note: that the recreation of this deadly organizational culture of the majority of the members of the curia and hierarchy (though not every member) all stems from the repressed homosexuals - in the ruthless and deceitful absence of the science on homosexuality. We are all susceptible of unconsciously recreating the violent past experiences that as children we were subjected to - in the present without knowing it (Selma Fraiberg). This gives new meaning to the words "Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour (1 Peter 5:8)."
We can now maybe understand more clearly, Deuteronomy 5:8-10, how the children of parents who sin against the God’s love are punished for their parents sins - down to the third and fourth generations. However, the sign of corrective hope - is that those parents who love God and keep his commandments he shows love to a thousand generations. Christ clarifies God’s commandment of love - Matthew 22:36-40 and gives us a new command - to love one another as He has loved us - John 13:34-35.
Is it any wonder why the world turns a deaf ear to members of the curia and the hierarchy - to their understanding of human sexuality, or their meaning of love - finding them to be irrelevant, and hateful, because it is without real love, God's love - thus they are helping to end the cycle of violence and destruction dating as far as to the Nazi regime. These are the words of caution of St. Paul - regarding to what is and what is not of love:
If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

“Destruction of Mankind”
Why should the Nazis bother about homosexuals? After all, some of the most loyal supporters of the Nazi movement were homosexual, and Hitler refused to condemn the sexual preference of Ernst Röhm, even after it featured prominently in the opposition’s campaign against the Nazis in 1931. Tolerance for homosexuals had increased in Germany during the first three decades of the twentieth century to the extent that an open gay culture flourished in cities such as Berlin in the 1920s, and parliament seemed well on the way to abolishing §175, the clause of the penal code dealing with homosexual offenses. So why bother about them? First, because Nazi opposition to this emancipation sought to appeal to the conservative backlash that the Nazis wished to co-opt. In terms of immediate action when Hitler came to power, there were well-publicized closures of gay bars in big cities…
...The whole Aryan race was threatened by homosexuality, and it would spread inexorably, not least through the pernicious efforts of the Jews, who would actively and successfully seek to drag Germans down these perverse paths in their efforts to destroy the German people. The metaphor of homosexuality as a disease that, if unchecked, would reach epidemic proportions, became a staple expression of Himmler’s in later years…
…Himmler remained adamant that harsh punishment should be meted out to presumed homosexuals, as a deterrent to spreading this “plague.” Read more:
Why bother about homosexuals? : homophobia and sexual politics in Nazi Germany / Geoffrey J. Giles
We cannot complain about the fact that people do not take seriously the science on climate change, especially global corporations - that they do not care about natural environment, when the Church that is the Vatican - the curia and hierarchy - sets a vivid example of how to discredit and to ruthlessly and deceptively suppress the science on homosexuality. Why should the people who ignore the science on climate change care about the devastation and destruction of human life - when the Vatican doesn’t care about the destruction of human life by their suppression and ignoring the science on homosexuality. Pope Benedict XVI had it grievously wrong in his Christmas address December 22, 2008, when he suggestively equated homosexuality - as if it was a life threatening force, a disease that humanity need protection from. Though Pope Benedict XVI never used the words homosexual or same-sex in his Christmas address - Catholic news editors and journalists remarked that the meaning was clear enough that led to news headlines make the connection between the need of saving the rainforest from destruction is as important as saving humanity from the destruction of homosexuals and transgenders. The words that Benedict does use are about the “innate order” of God’s creation, need to “protect man from self-destruction” and the “self-destruction of man himself” who attempt to change or disregard this “innate order.”
…Our faith in creation is the ultimate basis of our responsibility for the earth. The earth is not simply our property, which we can exploit according to our interests and desires. Rather, it is a gift of the Creator, who designed its innate order and has thus given us guidelines which we, as stewards of his creation, need to respect…
…She [the Church] has a responsibility towards creation, and must also publicly assert this responsibility. In so doing, she must not only defend earth, water and air as gifts of creation belonging to all. She must also protect man from self-destruction. What is needed is something like a human ecology, correctly understood.
If the Church speaks of the nature of the human being as man and woman, and demands that this order of creation be respected, this is not some antiquated metaphysics. What is involved here is faith in the Creator and a readiness to listen to the “language” of creation. To disregard this would be the self-destruction of man himself, and hence the destruction of God’s own work.
What is often expressed and understood by the term “gender” ultimately ends up being man’s attempt at self-emancipation from creation and the Creator. Man wants to be his own master, and alone – always and exclusively – to determine everything that concerns him. Yet in this way he lives in opposition to the truth, in opposition to the Creator Spirit.
Rain forests deserve indeed to be protected, but no less so does man, as a creature having an innate “message” which does not contradict our freedom, but is instead its very premise.
The great scholastic theologians described marriage, understood as the life- long bond between a man and a woman, as a sacrament of creation, which the Creator himself instituted and which Christ – without modifying the “message” of creation – then made part of the history of his covenant with humanity…
Christmas greetings to the members of the Roman Curia and Prelature (December 22, 2008) | BENEDICT XVI
I am not a scholar of Pope Benedict’s writings. I only attempt, as a priest and as a psychologist - to make clinical observations from a historical and a psychological perspective of Benedict’s life: (A) beginning with his first 18 years of life being born and growing up throughout the rise and fall of Hitler and the Nazi regime 1933-1945, a time in human history described by Ian Kershaw as “…the most radical face of modern inhumanity – how an advanced society can undergo a breathtaking descent into modern barbarity that’s quite without precedent…(http://www.open.edu/openlearn/history-the-arts/history/ou-lecture-2005-transcript),” and (B) his life from 1945 to 2018. In brief, I make clinical observations - as I would in a psychotherapy session, looking for any possible connections and or relationships between a person’s adult behavior and the history of a person’s early childhood years growing up - to help resolve problematic inconsistencies disrupting the person’s life and relationships in the present that may be attributed to unconscious reactions to past traumatic events. Such observations are, of course, always open to any number of related possible reinterpretations: (1) by qualified clinicians, who have an in depth knowledge of the history of Hitler, the Nazi regime, the holocaust and the life experience of the Catholic priesthood, and (2) especially as new factual information comes to light.
However, the core thrust of attempting to understand Benedict’s life is to explain his years of his fierce antigay obsession that begins: with his (a) not acknowledging, but suppressing the emerging science on homosexuality, leading to (b) his dehumanizing homosexuals, claiming that if homosexuals are allowed human rights it would lead to the destruction of humanity, this mindset paves the way that permits (c) ruthlessly and deceptively silencing and removing anyone who admits to being gay or those who are supportive of gay people (i.e. Hunthausen 1980s) e.g.permitting character assassinations, etc. The above are unquestionably inconsistencies found in Benedict’s adult life, especially beginning with his 25 years as the Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and followed by 8 years as Pope Benedict XVI - a total 33 years in a very public life holding the 2 highest positions in the Catholic Church. These inconsistencies of Benedict’s are the most inhuman and barbaric are of an unprecedented nature. They are the complete opposite, agreeably light years from his normal adult behavior, he is beloved by millions.
NAZI - DEHUMANIZATION
1. Eliminate the Humanity - Less Than Human
2. Caricaturize - Victim Threatening Your Existence - Deserving to be Killed
2. Caricaturize - Victim Threatening Your Existence - Deserving to be Killed
Benedict’s inconsistencies can be traced back to his early childhood years growing up in Nazi Germany. The fundamental, though unspoken premise of Benedict’s treatment of homosexuals is - that homosexuals are not really human beings, rather homosexuality is a life-threatening disease that if allowed freedom to exist - it would threaten the existence of humanity, the human race. Therefore, since homosexuals are not human - they are deserving of human rights and the emerging science on homosexuality is of no importance, because it is not accepted as real science.
Why We Demean, Enslave, and Exterminate Others
To the Nazis - Jewish people, homosexuals, and others were all not believed to be real human beings. The Jewish people were Hitler’s main target and “ …when the Nazis described Jews as Untermenschen - as subhumans - they didn't mean this metaphorically; they didn't mean they were like subhumans. They meant they were, literally, subhuman (David Livingstone Smith https://www.npr.org/templates/transcript/transcript.php?storyId=134956180).” It is psychologically very difficult “…to kill another human being up close and in cold blood, or to inflict atrocities on them (DLSmith).” The way people, like the Nazis, overcome this innate psychological barrier to kill another human being(s), the target - is by dehumanizing the other as “less than human.” It is only through the process of dehumanization that “can liberate aggression, and exclude the target of aggression from the moral community (DLSmith).” There are two parts to the process of dehumanization. The first part, is to eliminate the humanity of the intended person or people to be killed, but this is not enough to overcome the psychological barrier to kill another. The second part, is to caricaturize (exaggeration by means of often ludicrous distortion of parts or characteristics ) the intended victim as deserving to be killed, because they threaten your existence.
…the dehumanization formula. Half of it is eliminating the humanity of that which you are wanting to kill or harm or treat cruelly. Full-blooded dehumanization goes a bit further. It not only eliminates the humanity but caricaturizes the other as a creature that deserves to be killed because it's dangerous, because it will contaminate you… Read more: https://www.npr.org/templates/transcript/transcript.php?storyId=134956180
To the Nazis, especially by Heinrich Himmler, homosexuals, like the Jewish people were dehumanized to be - “less than human” and caricaturize on the same order as “dangerous, disease-carrying rats” that threatened as Hitler declared to contaminated the racial purity of the German people. It was the dehumanizing mindset of the Nazis that it is wrong to kill a human being, but it is “permissible to exterminate a rat” that threaten the health of the German people. The Jewish people, homosexuals and other groups were exterminated in gas chambers, like rats.

Benedict’s antigay obsession dehumanization of homosexuals follows along the same mindset of Hitler and the Nazi regime - first, not to acknowledge the fact that homosexuals are human beings and second, allowing them human rights would threaten the whole human race, “self-destruction of man himself.” Benedict is absolutely not a Nazi. Benedict dehumanization is solely confined to homosexuality. The Jewish people were the main target of the Nazi dehumanization propaganda by Joseph Goebbels and yet Benedict has great sympathy for the atrocities committed against Jewish people. In fact, Benedict many times over has been beloved by the Jewish people for his advocacy for them (https://www.haaretz.com/jewish/.premium-a-pope-true-to-the-jewish-nation-1.5229436). We are all susceptible, more often then not, to unconsciously recreating our traumatic past early childhood years in the present (Selma Fraiberg, “Ghost in the Nursery,” Deuteronomy 5:8-10, Generational Violence).

&
Violates
"Caritas in veritate" 2009
"Caritas in veritate" 2009
Why does Benedict have an identical nazi antigay obsession against homosexuality using some of the same terminology and key phrases and not an antisemitic obsession against Jewish people? Remember, Benedict's experience of these Nazi atrocities was as a very young child beginning from birth, through his first 18 years of life. The emerging science on homosexuality since 1957 - that has dispelled all the dehumanizing statements, beliefs and antigay propaganda targeted against homosexuals led by Himmler. In 1957, “Evelyn Hooker’s groundbreaking research exploded the notion that homosexuality was a mental illness, ultimately removing it from the DSM (http://www.apa.org/monitor/2011/02/myth-buster.aspx).” And yet Benedict completely ignores and forcefully suppresses all the emerging science on homosexuality, why? For over more than 30 years, as head of the CDF 1981-2005 and than as pope 2005-2013 - Benedict was not alone in this crusade to ruthlessly suppress this emerging science on homosexuality - it appears, whether or not he was fully aware of the fact that he had (and still has) an entourage of fierce fanatical devotees i.e. Cardinal Raymond Burke, who chose ever more increasingly radical tactics to suppress this science and attack those in the Church who academically were openly exploring and discussing it or who were supportive of gay people, e.g. Fr. Charles Curran and Archbishop Raymond Hunthausen. Mr. Cruz is the first gay victim that exposed this barbaric dehumanization tactics concocted by these fanatical devotees that has been going on behind closed doors, due to Pope Francis's investigation of the Chile sexual abuse cover-ups, 2018.
What is puzzling about Benedict is that his complete exclusion of the science on homosexuality for over 3 decades - violates his basic warning that he writes about in his encyclical "Caritas in veritate" 2009 - not to cause a breach in the dialogue between reason/science and faith/religion. Benedict writes - “...Reason always stands in need of being purified by faith: this also holds true for political reason, which must not consider itself omnipotent. For its part, religion always needs to be purified by reason in order to show its authentically human face. Any breach in this dialogue comes only at an enormous price to human development…(http://w2.vatican.va/content/benedict-xvi/en/encyclicals/documents/hf_ben-xvi_enc_20090629_caritas-in-veritate.html).”
This type of behavioral inconsistency is not uncommon. We all have blind shots, about what we say and what we do, mostly benign. However, if it is disrupting our lives then in psychotherapy sessions - it is a situation that we explored with person - in an attempt to understand it to deactivate its harmful effects. When it is present in a person with an extraordinary intellectual ability, like Benedict, the contrast is glaring. It does not make sense and even more if the person does not see the inconsistency, which appears to be the case with Benedict. In Benedict's case - a therapist has to seriously have a working knowledge of the historical situation in which the person grew up in. I wrote about Benedict's Christmas address to the curia December 22, 2008, in a piece I titled "AUSCHWITZ -- CHRISTMAS 2008 -- A flashback far more severe than in --- BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN (posted at the bottom)," I have read and reread his address numerous times trying to understand how and why he stated what he stated. It was a most disturbing, horrific dehumanizing statement that he stated calmly -as if it was an everyday occurrence, unconcerned about the magnitude of the atrocities that were committed by Hitler and the Nazi regime espousing the same dehumanizing attitude.
...And when I heard what Pope Benedict XVI said about homosexuals and transgendered human beings at Christmas 2008, I felt that same trauma all over again. Because in some way, somehow, he was conveying in a non-verbal manner the horror of the Holocaust, in what appears to be a traumatized, trance-like, accepted social norm from that period of time dictating that some people just don’t count, aren’t important, and can be easily disposed of. And if you rock the boat, you could be next to be disposed of...

Pope Francis - Born 1936
Buenos Aires, Argentina
Men Dancing the Tango Together
The situation about Benedict became clearer and clearer after the arrival Pope Francis from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Pope Francis is not a repressed homosexual - he plainly is not sexually repressed at all. He has demonstrated this by his tremendous energy, his ability and comfort level to talk to anyone and everyone, including gay people, transgender people, having real empathy - backed by total involvement for those most in need of our help throughout the world. This is what it means to be Catholic, everyone is welcome - no one is excluded. And most of all - Pope Francis appears overall to naturally be a happy person. He is a complete contrast to the lethargic, seemingly unempathetic, arrogant and narcissistic members of the curia and hierarchy. This is because they simply do not move, again this not true of everyone just the majority. Why are they not involved with Pope Francis's work to help the poor or studying the science on homosexuality. They can barely say the word 'gay." Pope Francis does not fit in with the rest of the Vatican prelates. Why? The difference is because he comes from a social environment that was the complete opposite of the antigay social environment of Nazi Germany. In Buenos Aires, Argentina, since the late 1800s men have been dancing the tango together and not every man that dances the tango with another man is gay. Unlike Cardinal Burke and the rest, including Cardinal Robert Sarah - who all come from extreme hostile antigay social environments - but none as extreme as Nazi Germany.
The Lifelong Harmful Effects
Early Childhood Years
Growing Up Gay
Antigay Social Environments
Together they all prove the lifelong harmful effects that are caused to children during their early childhood years growing up gay antigay social environments. One situation that happens to a child is traumatized during their early childhood years is that there is a built-in safety mechanism that protects the child from being overly traumatized - is the traumatic event and the attached emotion are separated pass into the unconscious. This means the child will not remember the traumatic event over and over again. Though, the traumatic event(s) and the emotion are forgotten in the unconscious mind of the child - the emotion remains active and disruptive - until some years later when the traumatic event and emotion are rejoined and understood.

Understanding normal development of adolescent sexuality: A bumpy ride
J Hum Reprod Sci. 2015 Apr-Jun; 8(2): 70–74.
Abstract
Adolescence, derived from the Latin word “adolescere” meaning “to grow up” is a critical developmental period. During adolescence, major biological as well as psychological developments take place. Development of sexuality is an important bio-psycho-social development, which takes an adult shape during this period. During adolescence, an individual's thought, perception as well as response gets colored sexually. Puberty is an important landmark of sexuality development that occurs in the adolescence. The myriad of changes that occurs in adolescents puts them under enormous stress, which may have adverse physical, as well as psychological consequences. Understanding adolescent sexuality has important clinical, legal, social, cultural, as well as educational implications… Read more: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4477452/
In the case of repressed homosexuals that is the force suppression of a child’s gay sexual orientation - these traumatic events happen during early childhood years. However, it is not until the onset of puberty that all sexual orientations become active and functioning 24/7. This stage is problematic and confusing enough when a child’s expressions of his or her sexual orientations are identified, known and accepted. However, it is lethally near impossible time when a gay child’s sexual orientation expressions were scorned and despised during early childhood years - has burst sexual feelings he is completely unaware of and is unable to process successfully. It is during this time that the suicide rate, drug and other addictions, youth homelessness, survival sex rate, enslavement and homosexual confusion (Sidney H. Phillips, M.D. "Homosexuality: Coming out of the confusion"), dissociated inappropriate sexual acting out episode occurs are all increased. This is a time that the Vatican needs to be prosecuted for and held responsible for the threatening harm they cause children. More of this, especially the adolescences inappropriate sexual acting out episode are all on the verge of a full-fledged public exposure - holding the Vatican responsible due to their unsubstantiated antigay teachings - endangerment to children growing up gay. And Pope Benedict’s situation will lead the way. When the safety of KIDS, globally are at RISK - especially the hysterical repressed homosexual local bishops, including their consultants, accomplices and the Vatican, who are all uncontrollably sexual aroused by gay ADULT pornography - “Fasten your seat-belts, it's going to be a bumpy night.” Best to meticulously and thoroughly review ALL the details of your evidence, and facts - all substantiated by the science on homosexuality or lack thereof and completely avoid relying on the antigay hysterical support of "post-truth" populism (built solely on ignorance and fear) it strongly appears that - YOU ARE MOVING OUT OF THE PROTECTION OF THE ARBITRARY, HYSTERICAL HOMOPHOBIC, "POST-TRUTH" CORRUPTION OF CANONICAL PROCEEDINGS.

Former Irish president calls Church teaching on homosexuality “evil”

…Mary McAleese, the former president of Ireland
…“It [the Church’s teaching against homosexual acts] conduces to homophobia; homophobia is evil. It ruins people’s lives. It has ruined families’ lives. It has caused people to commit suicide. It has caused people to live in dark shadows,” she said in a public discussion with the Irish Times’s Joe Humphreys, at the Columban headquarters in Dalgan Park.

Who Is to Blame for
the Dissociated Homosexuals In The
Curia and Hierarchy?
Who is to blame for this horrendous global destruction? The majority of the members of the curia and hierarchy were very young children growing up during their early childhood psychological developmental years - in social environments saturated with extremely unsubstantiated societal antigay prejudices. How can they be blamed? We are aware of the mental dissociation of being gay that takes place beginning in early childhood after being forced out traumatizing fear of parental abandonment - to suppress their gay sexual orientation that this form of dissociation is formed and can last throughout a lifetime. It is extremely destructive to not only the person but to society as well...

It causes the child to dissociate from any awareness or understanding of his gay sexual orientation. This means that as the child continues to mature and enters into his adolescent years (13 to 19 years old) that like all adolescents he will begin for the first time to experience of a flood of new sexual sensations. However, these powerful feelings of being sexually aroused, will not be identified, as such by this gay adolescent. This is because from early childhood - out of traumatic fear - as a child, he has been coerced into accepting the unfounded and perverted belief that anything gay is evil. Even though the child, at that age, has absolutely no conceptual understanding of the adult's perception of what gay means. The child will only mirror the adult’s ignorance and fear of gay people. Driven by childhood traumatizing fear and hysteria of being abandoned by his parents the child - for the sake of survival that child will learned how to automatically dissociated from anything that is even remotely perceived as gay, such:
…Hiding activities learned in childhood often persist into young adulthood, middle age and even senescence, leading many gay people to conceal important aspects of themselves.

Parental Autonomy Support and Discrepancies Between Implicit and Explicit Sexual Identities: Dynamics of Self-Acceptance and Defense - 2012
When individuals grow up with autonomy-thwarting parents, they may be prevented from exploring internally endorsed values and identities and as a result shut out aspects of the self perceived to be unacceptable. Given the stigmatization of homosexuality, individuals perceiving low autonomy support from parents may be especially motivated to conceal same-sex sexual attraction, leading to defensive processes such as reaction formation…
…Psychodynamic traditions hold that people have a preferred view of themselves, which may not reflect reality. When this idealized view is threatened by contradictory thoughts or feelings, people engage in one or more unconscious processes to defend against the threat to self. Among defensive processes that have been recognized as having some empirical support is reaction formation, a process indicated in the modern body of research on self-esteem preservation (e.g., Baumeister, Dale, & Sommer, 1998). Reaction formation refers to the process of adopting values or beliefs, or engaging in behaviors, that are in opposition to feelings or impulses experienced within oneself that are deemed unacceptable. Empirical work has shown reaction formation processes with respect to sexism (Sherman & Garkin, 1980), sex guilt (Morokoff, 1985), and prejudice (Dutton & Lake, 1973), indicating that individuals sometimes defend against self-relevant, threatening information by engaging in opposing behaviors…
Who is to Blame
for the Dissociation of Gay Teenagers?
Being dissociated from the reality of being a gay person from early childhood is extremely dangerous, especially during adolescence years of childhood development. It is a time when a child begins experiencing the maturation of his or her sexual development of mind and body. It is a time of great confusion experiencing an explosion of new sexual sensations never experienced before. It can be even overwhelming for some. It is a time hard enough for heterosexual children turning into teenagers in social environments that are strongly supportive of heterosexual relationships, ubiquitously appearing everywhere in all forms of media. This time is even more extreme for a dissociated gay child turning into a teenager - homosexual relationships are not ubiquitously seen everywhere and even less and less 30, 40, 50 years into the past...

The Overstimulation of Everyday Life:
I. New Aspects of Male Homosexuality
Sidney H. Phillips, M.D., 2002
Dr. Phillips views homosexuality as a normal process of the variations of human sexuality. He has found as other researchers in this area have found that men in their twenties and early thirties who are openly gay report histories of remembering as early as 4 and 5 years of age and older being attracted to other boys and men. These men report that in their midadolescence stories about their first loves, which they remember in “rich detail” and these stories obtained were “remarkably similar.”
They fell “head over heels” in love with a heterosexual boy. These sexually unconsummated love affairs went on for many months. The homosexual boy had to overcome some reluctance on the heterosexual boy’s part to permit greater and greater physical intimacy, especially sleeping in the same bed together. The heterosexual boy’s reservations were invariably overcome by the homosexual boy’s ingenious rationalizations and energetic persistence.
What was striking in all these stories was how both participants attended to and would not cross what seemed like a carefully constructed boundary against erotic behavior or dialogue. As long as all proceeded under the “innocent,” permissive guise of, mutual, close friendship, the relationships continued. These strange love affairs between homosexual and heterosexual adolescent boys predictably all ended the same way: the heterosexual boy eventually turned his attentions to a heterosexual girl…

The Overstimulation of Everyday Life:
I. New Aspects of Male Homosexuality
Sidney H. Phillips, M.D., 2002
Ann Psychoanal 30:131-45
Abstract
Western heterosexual culture surrounds the homosexually inclined boy in a climate of erotic overstimulationthat powerfully affects his development and adult sexual adaptation. This assertion is illustrated through a case presentation of a homosexual man who shared a bed with his brother from childhood into adolescence. Analysis of the patient's transference enactment—repeatedly falling asleep on the couch—gradually revealed the psychic impact of this everyday overstimulation: the creation of a tantalized inner world of longing. The regular occurrence and developmental understanding of adolescent homosexual boys' unrequited love affairs with adolescent heterosexual boys are described and explored. Finally, the overstimulation of everyday life is proposed as a new model for understanding certain behavioral aspects of male homosexuality, such as the avoidance of rough-and-tumble play in childhood and homosexual cruising.

Sidney H. Phillips, M.D., is a training and supervising analyst of the Western New England Institute for Psychoanalysis; Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, Yale School of Medicine.
In this paper, Dr. Phillips describes the complications of how the historical context of social norms can significantly influence the classification of the components of homosexuality by clinicians causing them to be blind to their own biases. Mindful of our susceptibility to this kind of phenomenon, Dr. Phillips calls to task these biases that pathologize homosexuality simply because it is not consistent with heterosexuality and therefore to be classified as a mental disorder. He offers an alternative description of homosexuality from his clinical research that is consistent with other researchers of early childhood psychological development of children who grow up to be gay.
When homosexuality is understood as a natural developmental process of human sexuality, what happens to the children who grow up to be gay? These children are often subjected to a kind of continuous harm that can be considered torturous being raised in a world where heterosexuality is considered the only accepted norm. A psychological harm is inflicted on these children throughout their early childhood developmental years that have lasting effects throughout their adult years having been raised in a social environment influenced by harsh antigay social and religious norms…

E r r o n e o u s B e l i e f
Ignorance and Fear of Societal Antigay Prejudices
I N N A T E
Not only is a gay child, at 4 and 5 years of age (1) traumatized by his parents disproval of his expression of love, (2) he is forced to suppress something that has no adult conceptual understanding of what it is (his gay sexual orientation) and in addition, (3) he is being forced to suppress something (his gay sexual orientation) that he has no control over to suppress. Because these inhuman expectations that are placed onto the gay child happens early in life, are overwhelming to the child - (4) the child is likely not going to remember the exact situations when they started. The built in safety mechanism of early childhood protects the child from overwhelming events by relegating the memories of such events to the unconscious. The song from the American children's novel the “Wizard of Oz” “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” seems to directly identify this built-in early childhood safety mechanism when to a child “all the world is a hopeless jumble” and it is sung that then “Heaven opens a magic lane.”
When all the world is a hopeless jumble
And the raindrops tumble all around
Heaven opens a magic lane
When all the clouds darken up the skyway
There's a rainbow highway to be found,
Leading from your window pane
To a place behind the sun, just a step beyond the rain
Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true
Someday, I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh, why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why, can't I?
However, because of the (a) enduring parental expectations that the gay child suppress any expression of his gay sexual orientation that is supported by (b) the pervasive ignorance and fear of societal antigay prejudices of the social environment that the gay child is raised in - this child as an adult - will (c) erroneously and firmly believe that these societal antigay prejudices to be “innate” that they are “inborn” “natural” created by God. They are not “innate.”
Although, it is as if heaven opens a magic lane to protect the child at that young age to survive the emotional traumatic events, - by relegating those memories to the unconscious where they are forgotten. Forgotten, yes, but in no way are they eradicated - destroyed completely forever. These extremely unpleasant feelings from early childhood will remain active causing continuous disruption throughout the person’s life. The destructive power of these feelings is only deactivated, when they are consciously remembered, identified, differentiated and put into words (Henry Krystal MD)...

Back to Pope Benedict XVI - growing up in Nazi Germany was more horrendous than we can possibly imagine or want to imagine. It appears now after, Pope Francis’s extraordinary endless activity caring for those most in need - being on the scene and reviewing Benedict’s writings, especially his Christmas address 2008 - it seems clearer that he believes his thoughts about homosexuality to be innate (inborn natural), however, he is completely unconcerned by the blatant absence of the science on homosexuality and gender theory - in his December 2008 address, as well as, in all his writings that in so doing he violates his own stern warning to avoid making this breach. In addition, this violation, as he states,in his encyclical "Caritas in veritate," which was completed in 2007 but not published until January 2009, it renders everything he has to say about homosexuality and gender theory to be arbitrary, having no foundation in truth and therefore are not about love. Why would he contradict himself? There is a major inconsistency here that does not make sense because it goes directly against the way his mind appears to work that is extraordinary precisely detailed and logical, a brilliant scholar and deeply spiritual man. It seems as though Benedict is attempting to make sense of something he believes is innate - as designed by God, but that on some unconscious level does not make sense to him and that he is stuck, because the pieces do not go together. And he may be blaming himself for this impasse. It must be remembered that Benedict was born and raised at the rise and fall of Hitler and the Nazi regime and what he experienced - he experienced as a very young child, which not the same way that an adult experiences life. A child is more fragile than adult and is easily overwhelmed by situations and events than an adult would be. Benedict's father was a policeman. He was outwardly intensely anti-nazi. He attempted to reign in the Brownshirts, which caused his father demotions and forcing the family to have to move several times before Benedict was 10 years old in 1937, when his father retired.

From the wording that Pope Benedict uses in his statements and writings regarding homosexuality that he seems to believe is innate, however, in his complete absence of offering any authoritative scientific research to help to substantiate his claims - it appears to be the wording taken from his early childhood traumatic memories of Heinrich Himmler dehumanizing propaganda against homosexuals that were automatically suppressed into his unconscious. Himmler believed that if homosexual behavior was left unchecked it would threaten the existence of the whole Aryan race:
…homosexual persons, they constituted nonetheless a dangerous phenomenon of devastating possibilities. The whole Aryan race was threatened by homosexuality, and it would spread inexorably, not least through the pernicious efforts of the Jews, who would actively and successfully seek to drag Germans down these perverse paths in their efforts to destroy the German people. The metaphor of homosexuality as a disease that, if unchecked, would reach epidemic proportions, became a staple expression of Himmler’s in later years…

Benedict expressed nearly identical wording and sentiment of Himmler in his Christmas address to the curia, December 22, 2008 that homosexuals are a threat to God's creation. The duty of the Church he states, "...She must also protect man from self-destruction. What is needed is something like a human ecology, correctly understood." I could be wrong, but Benedict seems to have traveled the intellectual world searching high and low for some possible explanation for something he believes is innate - which does not exist. What Benedict believes to be innate - is absolute non-sense about homosexuality that was contrived by the Nazis, which is also absence of any science. Hitler used the prejudices against homosexuality to gain the support of the conservatives to get elected the Dictator of Nazi Germany, and to sustain their support. In brief, it seems that what Benedict believes to be innate about homosexuality - coming from God - actually comes from a child's unconscious traumatized memories growing up during the escalating horrific events in Nazi Germany that in reality is purely Hitler's and the Nazis's exploited use of societal prejudices homosexuals to gain and sustain power. This is quite the opposite of anything innate from God. Trying to imagine how a child growing up during his early childhood years experienced the atrocities of Hitler and the Nazi regime - for me is traumatizing even to begin thinking about having previously been traumatized in the process doing graduate research on the Holocaust. Often speaking about Pope Benedict growing up in Nazi Germany very few people will realized that you have to switch from an adult's perspective to a child's perspective in reviewing events of those years, realizing that a child often experiences painful situations with an intensity 10 times more severe than an adult.

From Fascism to Populism In History
A book excerpt from Federico Finchelstein
September 26, 2017
...Populism is an authoritarian form of democracy. Defined historically, it thrives in contexts of real or imagined political crises, wherein populism offers itself as antipolitics. It claims to do the work of politics while keeping itself free from the political process. Democracy in this sense simultaneously increases the political participation of real or imagined majorities while it excludes, and limits the rights of, political, sexual, ethnic, and religious minorities. As noted above, populism conceives the people as One — namely, as a single entity consisting of leader, followers, and nation. This trinity of popular sovereignty is rooted in fascism but is confirmed by votes. Populism stands against liberalism, but for electoral politics. Therefore, we can better understand populism if we think of it as an original historical reformulation of fascism that first came to power after 1945. Populism’s homogenizing view of the people conceives of political opponents as the antipeople. Opponents become enemies: nemeses who, consciously or unconsciously, stand for the oligarchical elites and for a variety of illegitimate outsiders. Populism defends an illuminated nationalist leader who speaks and decides for the people. It downplays the separation of powers, the independence and legitimacy of a free press, and the rule of law. In populism, democracy is challenged but not destroyed.
As I finish this book, a new populism has taken the world’s reins. Once again, the electoral success of a narcissistic leader has come with off ending, and downplaying the value of, others. Intolerance and discrimination have opened the way for a definition of the people that relies simultaneously on inclusion and exclusion. As in the past, this new, recharged populism challenges democracy from within, but history teaches us that democratic institutions and a strong civil society can forcefully challenge populists in power. In short, we can learn from historical instances of resistance… Read more: Photo
Lee McIntyre - 2018
...Are we living in a post-truth world, where “alternative facts” replace actual facts and feelings have more weight than evidence? How did we get here? In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, Lee McIntyre traces the development of the post-truth phenomenon from science denial through the rise of “fake news,” from our psychological blind spots to the public's retreat into “information silos.”
What, exactly, is post-truth? Is it wishful thinking, political spin, mass delusion, bold-faced lying? McIntyre analyzes recent examples—claims about inauguration crowd size, crime statistics, and the popular vote—and finds that post-truth is an assertion of ideological supremacy by which its practitioners try to compel someone to believe something regardless of the evidence… Read more: https://mitpress.mit.edu/contributors/lee-mcintyre
Selma Fraiberg, in the 1970s, was on the research team at the Child Development Project in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Michigan. Fraiberg’s noted research titled “Ghosts in the Nursery,” helps to explain or at least gives us a framework to help to understand how repressed homosexual prelates - became and remains dominant throughout the Vatican and the hierarchy around the world. In part, it may help to explain how the curia and the hierarchy played and continues to play - an essential part in the unbalance economy of globalization 'valuing profits over human beings,' the reemergence of a global Neo-nazi like government leaders (populists?) voted into office by the people and why the science on climate change is ignored. Repressed homosexuals have one thing in common - the near absence of EMPATHY. Repressed homosexual are childhood victims of an antigay form of hysterical populism, the absence of reason, logic and science that accounts for the hysteria, the absence of the workings of rational mind. Through Benedict’s early childhood antigay Nazi traumatic past, the Vatican's doors were opened specifically to other repressed homosexual prelates that took place for over the past 30 years and together they all recreated their early childhood traumatic antigay pasts. Together they greatly were increasing to likely an unprecedented heighten degree of the antigay hysterical populism, seemingly - a collective unconscious mutilation formed from their antigay hysterical traumatic pasts void of rational thinking.
They are a vivid example of Deuteronomy 5:8-10 - how the sins of the parents are played out through the lives of children generation after generation. Antigay hysterical populism is absolutely void of any science on homosexuality and therefore is not about true love. Benedict, not intentionally, but indirectly - he describes how and what this antigay hysterical populism looks like in Caritas in veritate of how the word love is empty of its value and meaning and is then arbitrarily refilled with subjective emotions and opinions, until it has the opposite meaning of love.
…Without truth, charity degenerates into sentimentality. Love becomes an empty shell, to be filled in an arbitrary way. In a culture without truth, this is the fatal risk facing love. It falls prey to contingent subjective emotions and opinions, the word “love” is abused and distorted, to the point where it comes to mean the opposite. Truth frees charity from the constraints of an emotionalism that deprives it of relational and social content, and of a fideism that deprives it of human and universal breathing-space. In the truth, charity reflects the personal yet public dimension of faith in the God of the Bible, who is both Agápe and Lógos: Charity and Truth, Love and Word…
REASON always stands in need of being purified by faith: this also holds true for political reason, which must not consider itself OMNIPOTENT. For its part, RELIGION always needs to be purified by reason in order to show its authentically human face. Any breach in this dialogue comes only at an enormous price to human development…

These members of the curia and hierarchy need to learn, as we all need to continuously keep learning - what true love is as described by Christ in Matthew 22:36-40 - regarding the greatest commandment and in John 13:34-35 - the degree and intensity that real love demands - the goal is to have - same kind of love that Christ has for us. I believe this is what Pope Francis has been preaching and doing for the past 5 years. And as hard as some screaming hysterics try to tear him down - they are unable to do so, because he strenuously keeps working through prayerful discernment to built his papacy on the very core meaning of God's love. Pope Francis boldly admits he is a sinner - but he seems to never give up, knows how to seek God's forgiveness and begin again, to make right the wrongs e.g. Chile, Mr. Cruz. So, some hysterics are going to keep trying to tear him down? For what reason? What? You are going try to get people to hate a man - who endlessly spends his life helping the least of our brothers and sisters!!! Pope Francis is the reverse of populism, because he is ruled by God's love and when he falls down - he knows how to get up seeking God's forgiveness and endlessly continues on with God's mission. Pope Francis gets it.
Pope appeals for end of migrant shipwrecks, prays for dead
Jul 22, 2018
Paramedics carry a person rescued from a boat that capsized off Cyprus's northern coastline, as he is brought to a hospital in Silifke, near the city of Mersin, southern Turkey, late Wednesday, July 18, 2018. A boat carrying about 150 migrants capsized off the northern coast of Cyprus on Wednesday, with the search continuing and some 105 people rescued so far according to the Turkish coast guard.
VATICAN CITY - Pope Francis has lamented the latest migrant deaths in shipwrecks of smugglers’ boats and entreated nations to act swiftly to prevent more tragedies…
…He called on “the international community to act decisively and quickly so similar tragedies aren’t repeated” and said the “safety, respect of rights and the dignity of all must be guaranteed…”
With Italy’s new populist government and Malta not allowing aid groups’ boats to dock, rescued migrants lately have been stranded at sea for days.

Selma Fraiberg, lays out the blueprint of how this early childhood victimization by this antigay hysterical form populism causes various forms a traumas for the child of loss, of abandonment, of loneness and isolation is past onto generation to generation. Built into her blueprints we learn how this cycle of early childhood victimization by this antigay hysterical form populism, is broken and kids can be safe once again.
Fraiberg explains how our early childhood traumas of loss, abandonment, loneliness, neglect, and abuse are repressed, and when these painful emotional memories are not remembered, they remain forgotten but continued to be seriously disruptive in our lives - disrupting our most basic need for love - that is the ability to love and to be loved. We continue to reenact the same early childhood violence we experienced as children throughout our adult lives onto others. In a blind way we are trying to makes sense of something we do not fully understand, we are not fully aware that major portions of the violence we experienced - we at the same time repressing. It is like we got one foot on the gas and the other foot on the brake applying pressure to both simultaneously and go nowhere. WE unknowingly have become compulsive by over and over reenacting - recreating our past traumatic lives in the presence - all in an attempt to find understanding. WE waste a tremendous amount our lives in this compulsive process.
It is only when we receive empathy, usually through psychotherapy sessions, that we receive the empathy that was absence in our early childhood years. We are then likely to feel safe enough to remember and reconnect our traumatic situations along with the painful emotions that then we able to come to a new understanding. The weight of the enormous amount of time and energy we needed to repress these traumatic situations is removed - it is as if - we are given a new life - new strength. We see everything in a new way and we have empathy for the suffering - because we know what it feels like and we wish no one to ever have to endure such tortuous pain or to live such a tortuous life style.
Reflections on the Work of Professor Selma Fraiberg
Vivian Shapiro - 2007
…We developed a model of seeing parents and their infants together either in the clinic or in a home visiting model. This model was an expansion of the earlier Fraiberg Intervention Model. Our therapeutic approach was to focus on the present parent/infant relationship, and to also encourage the parent to tell us about their own childhood history…
Within a developing positive transference relationship to the therapist, the parents slowly began to reveal their childhood stories; stories of loss, abandonment, loneliness, neglect, and abuse emerged. Moreover, as the therapeutic relationships deepened and a sense of trust with the therapist developed, the parents began to reveal their childhood feelings of anxiety, fear, and anger. These feelings had been repressed and submerged since childhood.
As the therapists responded with empathy to the parents’ feelings, the mothers often began to look at their infants in new ways—as though they were seeing them realistically for the first time. Many mothers, still crying from their hurtful recovered memories began to reach for their infants, to hold them, talk to them, and rock them with empathy. It was as though when the flood gates of tears were released, they could see their child more clearly, as an infant needing their love, not as a ‘‘bad’’ object that had entered their world. They could begin to talk about their wish not to repeat their own traumatic experiences, and not to impose pain on their child. In essence, they began to develop a more hopeful sense of parental identity and concern for their child. This beginning relationship was satisfying to both parent and infant, evident in the emotional changes within the child, and the changing internal view of the parent’s sense of self.
In summary, Selma formulated and investigated hypotheses designed to explain the factors that caused some parents to repeat their own traumatic history with their child, and to raise questions about why some parents, who also had been traumatized did not repeat their history of early trauma. It was more likely, she suggested, that parents who remembered the painful feelings of their childhood, could empathize with their infants, and choose to create a different more positive path of relationships with them. But, those parents who had repressed their feelings of pain and loss had shut off their capacity to feel. They could not empathize with their child. Indeed they had responded to their pain with primitive defense mechanisms of repression and identification with the aggressor and had internalized their parents pathological attachment patterns. They had shut down their feelings of the need for love, but the birth of their dependent infant had reawakened some subliminal feelings within them. However they continued to repress their unacknowledged need for parental empathy and love, and could not respond to their own child’s needs. It was as though the ghosts from the past had risen, and unconsciously these parents built an emotional wall between themselves and their infants…

Pope Francis gives us the religious/theological view on how to end this violence. Selma Fraiberg gives us scientific blueprint on how this generational violence continues generation after generation that is due to the absence of parental love - real love - true love (as describe above by Pope Benedict XVI) and how we need to be vigilant to end it - by restoring real love, Deuteronomy 5:8-10. In this regard, together Pope Francis and Selma Fraiberg give us a small glimpse into the deep harmony that exists between religion and science - reaffirming the fact that Pope John Paul II and Dr. Francis S. Collins, physician-geneticist explains in their writings how there are no irreconcilable differences between science and religion. Dr. Francis S. Collins, was appointed to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences 2009 by Pope Benedict XVI. The Vatican's teachings on homosexuality are unsubstantiated because they are void of any substantiating facts from the science on homosexuality. This constitutes the breach that Benedict warns us "comes only at an enormous price to human development..."
What Benedict has unconsciously succeeded in doing is recreating the same antigay social environment of Nazi Germany in the Vatican that he traumatically experienced during his early childhood years growing up in Nazi Germany. These are the Nazi Ghosts that exist in the Vatican, as described by Selma Fraiberg - more numerous than I dare risk being traumatized by trying to imagine. It is important realize that Benedict is not a Nazi!!! He is childhood victim of the most radical form of inhumanity and barbarity ever recorded in human history growing up in Nazi Germany. A childhood victim is a child who was exposed the atrocities of the Nazis as a very young child, which is very different from how an adult experiencing the same atrocities. There are psychological similarities of a child's who is exposed to domestic violence, that even if the child is never physically touched, the child still suffers abuse from witnessing the violence. Benedict was born 1927, he spent his first 18 years of life in Nazi Germany, beginning from infancy onwards.
Benedict was exposed to the Nazi dehumanizing treatment of homosexuals, due to the fact that his father a was intensely anti-nazi policeman who tried to reign in the Brownshirts resulting in demotions that caused the family to move several times before retiring in 1937, when Benedict was 10 years old.
Hitler was indifferent about homosexuals, but allowed Joseph Goebbels, the minister of propaganda and Heinrich Himmler, leader SS, Secret State Police "Gestapo," directly responsible for the Holocaust, the "Final Solution", "killing centers" - to run full scale national pubic dehumanizing champagnes building on the ignorance of German societal prejudices against homosexuals, as they did with the Jewish people. They did this by caricaturing (exaggeration, ludicrous or grotesque distortion version of someone) homosexuals as a threat to your children, as a disease, a plague and the “destruction of mankind” - to be exploited as an effective "smoke scene" to gain and sustain power - to cover-up their aggressive attacks and removal Nazi political opposition, especially between 1933 to 1937, when Benedict was 6 to 10 years old.
Hitler's 1930s EXPLOITED Homophobia
An INSIDIOUSLY Effective Political Weapon
Flawless - Reproductions
Manufactured Globally Exclusively
By the Vatican 1981-201_
In 1933, they arranged for highly publicized the closing of gay bars - to gain the conservative vote that allowed Hitler to become dictator of Germany. In 1934, Himmler had been falsely accusing the Brownshirts (Storm Troopers; SA) of being made up homosexuals that Hitler used as the "smoke scene" for the massacre of nearly 400 political opponents, in the "Night of the Long Knives" from June 30 and July 2, 1934. In 1934, Benedict was 7 years old. Remember that Benedict's father a was intensely anti-nazi policeman who tried reign in the Brownshirts (Stormtrooper SA) resulting demotions - causing the family to move several times before retiring when Benedict was 10 year old.
Andrew Wackerfuss, Georgetown University, Washington, D.C. writes in his book, “Stormtrooper Families: Homosexuality and Community in the Early Nazi Movement” that the Stormtroopers SA. Debunks the myth that the Stormtrooper was fill with debased, degenerated homosexuals. Through his research he found that the Stormtroopers (Brownshirts) “…harbored only a handful of gay men in its ranks; the stormtroopers were later cast by Adolf Hitler as a brotherhood of degenerates so that he could justify a bloody purge and intense surveillance of even straight citizens' sexualities in Germany (https://www.advocate.com/books/2016/2/03/new-book-debunks-pink-swastika-myth)." In an excerpt from Wackerfuss’s book, that was printed in the Advocate, he gives a “brief history of homosexuality and homophobia in the Nazi SA”
…Tensions between same-sex camaraderie, revolutionary demands, and the SA’s new pretension to legitimate authority reached a head by mid-1934. The stormtroopers’ loud insistence on their honor and privileges, their rampant corruption and excess, and their continued use of violence in public spaces now threatened to undermine the Nazi movement. Hitler and his cronies took action, purging the SA of its leaders and settling old scores in a national massacre that lasted for days.
Hitler then mobilized political homophobia as his prime justification for the purge, arguing that he had acted to extirpate the rot of homosexuality from SA and party ranks. Now that the group was cleansed, he said, every German mother could again feel safe with the party in charge. The stormtroopers had thus fallen victim to sexualized political paradigms that they themselves had strengthened.
After June 1934, not only were homosexual stormtroopers (who had been accepted or lived undercover) chased out of the organization, all SA men were now under the scrutiny of a Nazi Party able and eager to police its citizens’ sexual morality and family circumstances. In other words, the authoritarian family policies the Nazis later imposed on all Germany came first to the stormtroopers.
In 1935, the regime chose the anniversary of the purge to publish its extended version of P175, which expanded the category of the crime far beyond “actions resembling coitus,” the previous standard. Now, Nazi judges could decree any act — even a simple touch or look — as evidence of homosexuality. The situation had become so inflamed that denouncers even began to consider negative interest in homosexuality as evidence of same-sex orientation.
The SA resolved to prevent any association between itself and homosexuality in the public mind. It did so first by hunting down its own homosexual members, no matter how valuable their service had been. Hitler ordered the SA cleansed of any association with homosexuality, whether proven or alleged. Yet even heterosexual men now discovered that the Party and the SA intended to monitor their sexual lives and their family relationships as well… Photo

The Traumatic Child Abuse
of Benedict
When children at a young age suffer from abuse there is the tendency for the child to blame and to punish himself or herself for being abuse, this is not true of an adult who suffers through a horrific event(s). Both Pope Benedict XVI and Pope John Paul II suffered through the atrocities of Hitler and Nazi regime, however, John Paul was 19 years when the Nazi invaded Poland in September 1939 and Benedict was born and raised through the rise and fall of Hitler. An adult is developmentally is able better able to process and reason through horrific events. This is not true for a very young child. A very young child does not have to understand what is happening to be traumatized. A child can easily be traumatized by listening to parents or adults discuss the horrific events taking place. In brief, as stated above - Benedict’s father being a policeman who was a diehard anti-nazi opponent who tried to reign in the Nazi violent Brownshirts SA (Stormtroopers) that caused his father’s demotions and forcing the family having to move several times before the age of 10, would have cause lifelong symptoms similar to those of domestic violence. “Very young children – even as young as babies and toddlers – can become “stressed out” or traumatized when their developing sense of trust is threatened by repeated exposure to violence as well as other events such as a serious car accident or losing a trusted caregiver (https://cehdvision2020.umn.edu/blog/children-of-domestic-violence/).”
It is likely from the birth of Benedict 1927, his family was in turmoiled due to the violence of the Brownshirts the first 10 years of his life until his father retired from the police department in 1937. It is more than likely that Benedict raised in this contentious traumatizing home environment from infancy onwards that he would have over heard or heard directly the historical events of the Brownshirts, their violence recounted by his father’s who, as a policeman, would have had first hand knowledge of these events. His father would have recounted Hitler’s and Himmler’s dehumanizing tactics (the same used against the Jewish people), first portraying homosexuals- as less than human and followed by caricaturizing them in ways - as a threat to the Germany race and then falsely accusing the Brownshirts of being depraved homosexuals that was all highly publicized by Joseph Goebbels the minister of Nazi propaganda. What Benedict was not told was the truth that the dehumanization of homosexuals and the accusation that the Brownshirts were predominantly homosexuals were all LIES. They were lies manufactured by Hitler, Himmler and Goebbels for the intended purpose to be used as a "smoke scene” to justify Hitler’s massacre of the Nazi political opponents, in the "Night of the Long Knives" lasting from June 30 and July 2, 1934. The historical research of Andrew Wackerfuss, 2015, also verifies that the Brownshirts were not predominantly homosexuals. At the same time that Benedict was being exposed to the false accusations of the Brownshirts being filled with deprave homosexuals - he was also being expose to the same false accusations that the Catholic Church was filled with depraved homosexuals.
Night of the Long Knives, in German history, purge of Nazi leaders by Adolf Hitler on June 30, 1934. Fearing that the paramilitary SA had become too powerful, Hitler ordered his elite SS guards to murder the organization’s leaders, including Ernst Röhm. Also killed that night were hundreds of other perceived opponents of Hitler.
Benedict, from infancy to the age of 10 years old was exposed daily to the dehumanization statements against homosexuals and the unsubstantiated claims that homosexuals are a threat to the existence of the German people and to children. All were lies - but a child believes whatever he hears from adults as sacred as if coming from God. If the child is traumatized these false statements become embedded and forgotten in the child unconscious mind. This child as an adult will likely have long forgotten the traumatic situation(s) connected to these false statements about homosexuality and will believe these false statements to be true that they are innate, as if coming from God. These innate feelings, such as homosexuality is evil, need to be challenged by the dialogue between science and religion. Benedict’s childhood situation is extreme to say the least.
Exploiting Societal Homosexual Prejudices
Hitler - Staged
‘immorality trials’
Against Catholic Clergy
Hitler continued to the use of the same propaganda exploiting the German’s antigay prejudices that he used against the Brownshirts - to launch another ruthless and lethal campaign accusing the outspoken anti-nazi opposition of the Catholic clergy of being depraved homosexuals arranging highly publicized “immorality trials” from 1935 to 1937.
A History of Christianity,
by Owen Chadwick, 1996
…In July 1933 pope Pius XI shocked the democratic world by signing a concordat with Hitler, which was very favorable to the rights of the Catholic churches in the German states. The Nazis had no intention of keeping this agreement and gradually move towards outright 'repression; the stage persecution of monks for homosexuality, with the maximum of publicity. In 1937 Pius issued an encyclical, Mit brennender Sorge (‘With burning anxiety’), in which he listed all the breaches of the concordat committed by the Germans (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2316392.A_History_of_Christianity p 254)."
Hitler. 1936-1945: Nemesis
Ian Kershaw 2001
…The stranglehold that the Churches maintained over the values and mentalities of large sections of the population was an obvious thorn in the side of a Movement with its own highly intolerant ‘world-view’, which saw itself as making a total claim on soul as well as body. The assault on the practices and institutions of the Christian Churches was deeply embedded in the psyche of National Socialism…
At the same time, the activists could draw on the verbal violence of Party leaders towards the Churches for their encouragement. Goebbels’s orchestrated attacks on the clergy through the staged ‘immorality trials’ of Franciscans in 1937 – following usually trumped-up or grossly exaggerated allegations of sexual impropriety in the religious orders – provided further ammunition. And, in turn, however much Hitler on some occasions claimed to want a respite in the conflict, his own inflammatory comments gave his immediate underlings all the licence they needed to turn up the heat in the ‘Church struggle’, confident that they were ‘working towards the Führer’.
Hitler’s impatience with the Churches prompted frequent outbursts of hostility. In early 1937, he was declaring that ‘Christianity was ripe for destruction’ (Untergang) , and that the Churches must yield to the ‘primacy of the state’, railing against any compromise with ‘the most horrible institution imaginable’…However, he indicated that at some point in the future Church and state would be separated, the Concordat of 1933 between the Reich and the Vatican dissolved (to provide the regime with a free hand), and the entire force of the Party turned to ‘the destruction of the clerics (Pfaffen)’…
Addressing the Gauleiter in mid-March, Hitler announced that he wanted ‘no ordinary victory’ over the Churches. Either one should keep quiet about an opponent (totschweigen), or slay him (totschlagen), was how he put it. In April, Goebbels reported with satisfaction that the Führer was becoming more radical in the ‘Church Question’, and had approved the start of the ‘immorality trials’ against clergy. Goebbels noted Hitler’s verbal attacks on the clergy and his satisfaction with the propaganda campaign on several subsequent occasions over the following few weeks…

Rainforest & Homosexuals
Christmas greetings to the members of the Roman Curia and Prelature (December 22, 2008) | BENEDICT XVI
Benedict throughout his early childhood years had been
subjected to nearly daily to unbelievable antigay violence that would been traumatizing beyond belief though physically he remained untouched. I would speculate that his strong close family love protected him from completely falling apart and that much of the emotional traumatizing affect was suppressed into his unconscious mind. And there it remained dormant until the late 1960s while he was teaching theology along with his colleague and friend Swiss Catholic theologian Hans Kung at the University of Tübingen, after he was appointed to the chair of dogmatic theology - the Marxist leaning students began rioting seemed to have triggered a flashback awakening for Benedict, in part possibly portions of the traumatic memories of the riots of the Brownshirts during his early childhood years growing up in Nazi Germany - along with memories of the Nazis dehumanizing tactics homosexuals. This flashback was a major turning point for Benedict that caused a significant and lasting change in his behavior. This type of behavior is not unusual for people who suffered through the atrocities of the Holocaust to have a delay onset of a traumatic reaction, in midlife. People are not often cognizant of the trauma that children suffer from exposure to violent situations i.e. war, terrorist attacks, etc., especially if the child becomes a pope. We are not even cognizant of our own the childhood traumas and these unidentified traumas will disruptively play themselves out in our everyday lives. They are our disruptive ghosts in our lives. When we are able to identify them, acknowledge them and grieve through the pain they represent - we are then able to move on to live a fuller life. It is the speck and the plank process. We cannot help others through situations that we have not worked through ourselves, personally. For repressed homosexual members of the curia and hierarchy this means facing the truth about your gay sexual orientation.
E.J. Dionne: Pope Benedict’s legacy is one of paradox - Feb.11, 2013
…The student revolts of 1968 deeply alarmed him. “At the time,” he wrote, “I was dean of the faculty of theology at [the University of] Tubingen, and in all the university assemblies in which I participated, I could notice all kinds of terror, from subtle psycho-terror up to violence.”
He described how he initially regarded Marxism as a possible corrective to certain strains of modern thought. But he came in the late 1960s to identify it with “terror.” He added: “I think that in those years, I learned where discussion must stop because it is turning into a lie and resistance must begin in order to maintain freedom.”…
The paradoxes of Benedict — and perhaps of Catholicism itself — were visible in two statements he made at Christmastime. Progressives could only welcome an op-ed piece he wrote for the Financial Times on Dec. 19 in which he declared that “Christians fight poverty out of a recognition of the supreme dignity of every human being, created in God’s image and destined for eternal life.”
Yet he followed this with a Christmas sermon denouncing gay marriage, insisting that gays and lesbians were turning their backs on the “essence of the human creature” and denying “their nature.”

The Pope: Journey from liberal to conservative
12 February 2013
…Joseph Ratzinger - as he was known before his election - has lived a life of surprises.
…But the most important surprise of his career was his transformation from revolutionary to conservative in the 1960s.
In 1962 Pope John XXIII summoned the bishops of the world to the Second Vatican Council. He wanted to open up the Roman Catholic Church to the 20th Century, and the Council introduced a wide-ranging set of reforms. It replaced the Latin mass with worship in local languages, emphasised the Church's duty towards the poor, and, for the first time, the Church recognised a universal right to religious freedom.
St Peter's Basilica was transformed into a makeshift parliament for the Council debates, which were conducted in Latin. Joseph Ratzinger was there as a "peritus", or theological adviser, working for Cardinal Frings, the Archbishop of Cologne and one of the leading modernisers.
With a reputation even then for formidable intelligence, the young Father Ratzinger helped draft some of the key speeches with which Cardinal Frings swung the meeting behind the reformers.
In an interview many years later, the future Pope said that he had then believed that the old theology "had to get out of its armour. It also had to face the situation of the present in a new language, in a new openness".
A greater freedom, he argued, also had to arise within the Church.
In 1966, just after the end of the Council, Joseph Ratzinger took up a new academic position at Tubingen University, which was at the time the flagship of liberal theology in Germany. So when student revolutions convulsed Western Europe and the United States two years later, he was a first-hand witness.
The experience changed his life. Years afterwards he recalled the "traumatic memory" of a group of theology students at Tubingen who put out a flier claiming that "the New Testament is a document of inhumanity, a large scale deception of the masses", and asking "so what is Jesus's Cross but the expression of a sado-masochistic glorification of pain?
Prof Ratzinger, as a German who had grown up in the 1930s, understood all too well what a totalitarian regime could do. He saw a new left-wing totalitarianism at work in the revolutionary spirit of the 1960s.
"It is true I saw a new spirit creeping in," he said. "A spirit in which fanatical ideologies made use of the spirit of Christianity… Here I saw very clearly… that there was an abuse of the Church and the faith, which were used as instruments of power."
He concluded that a return to traditional teaching was the only rational response…
…Although many liberal Catholics were impressed by the gentleness of Benedict's style as Pope - another of his surprises - the conservative views he adopted in the aftermath of the 1960s student revolutions had a profound impact on his pontificate.
On most of the sensitive areas of Church teaching - women priests, contraception and homosexuality, for example - he was uncompromising. And he campaigned against what he strikingly called the "dictatorship of relativism" in post-Christian western societies.
But his decision to resign suggests the radical young Fr Joseph Ratzinger is still there in the old Pope Benedict… Read more: https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-21425105
For Benedict rereading the Vatican’s teaching on homosexuality that Benedict had revised - they sounded more like a form of severe self-punishment - a reaction of being irrationally forced under extraordinary circumstances growing up in Nazi Germany to totally suppress one’s gay sexual orientation and taking blame for it, as abused children do for the being abused, like they were the cause of the abuse. Taking blame for being gay? Another inconsistency is the fact that Benedict is a brilliant man and in his Christmas address December 22, 2008 to the curia he knew the science about the rainforest - Why did he not know the science on homosexuality?
Why did he think that homosexuals were a threat to all mankind so much so that he felt that mankind needed to be protected from homosexuals?
How come he felt that it was so necessary to publicly warn people of this looming threat of world doom?
And why did he not clearly state the word homosexual, instead of making extraordinary coded references to it without stating it? Some people have said it was just his way of secretly attacking gay people and not being able to accused him of doing so. I thought this way also,in the beginning 2008, but not today. It was after rereading Himmler’s public statements on homosexuality that I realized that many of Benedict’s statement almost identically matches Himmler. It is a matter of getting in the frame of mind and staying in that state of mind that as you are reading the history of Benedict growing up in Nazi Germany and viewing everything from the perspective of child in his early childhood years. In the absence of any substantiating science, to support what and how Benedict states his thought regarding homosexuality I realize that the statements he makes are related to childhood fears about homosexuals as he has heard or heard through his father that Himmler or Goebbels made. After, the massacre of the "Night of the Long Knives” there was a hysteria that broke out to rid the Brownshirts of all homosexuals. The difficulty was that there was no easy identifiable way to pick out homosexual men. That is when they came obsessive that a touch, a look at another man was reason to classify someone as a homosexuals. It got so ridiculous that if a man said or did nothing to classify him as homosexual - that to was grounds to classify him as a homosexual. When I realized that Benedict’s caution of not referring directly to homosexuality, may have been terrorized learned behavior growing up in Nazi Germany.

Gay. Straight. and the Reason Why: The Science of Sexual Orientation 2011
by Simon LeVay
Neuroscientist Simon LeVay has served on the faculties of Harvard Medical School and the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, and is well-known for a 1991 study in which he reported on a difference in brain structure between gay and straight men. His forthcoming book Gay, Straight, and the Reason Why: The Science of Sexual Orientation examines the evidence that suggests sexual orientation results primarily from an interaction between genes, sex hormones, and the cells of the developing body and brain. In this original post, LeVay explains how he initially reacts to new reported findings in this field.

Absence of
Science on Homosexuality
Is the breach
in this dialogue between science and religion that continues to come at an enormous price to human development and to the environment...
To destroy the gay sexual orientation of a child - is to destroy the development of EMPATHY - destroys LOVE and creates HATE. It is the birthing of POST-TRUTH POPULISM, because this destruction of a child's ability to love is a traumatic experience for the child, who is told that it this violent abuse - is the love of God, according to the Vatican's unsubstantiated (by science or scripture) teachings on homosexuality.
This is how for this child that pleasure and pain feelings get switched around, where the child for life is fearful of what is pleasant and feels safe only with what is painful (Henry Krystal, Integration and Self Healing: Affect, Trauma, Alexithymia, 1993).
Their BREACH renders them ‘hysterical’ unlawful Church authority, who are disproportionally overwhelmed over gay ADULT pornography that is found to be authoritatively harmless - to the complete exclusion to those who are considered to be the least among us, who are suffering the most in the world. They are unlawful because they are not built on the truth of Christ and therefore their rulings are not about love and definitely not about justice. History will prove this to be true, especially in this age of social media. “From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked, Luke 12:48-49.”
Caritas in veritate
…Truth is the light that gives meaning and value to charity. That light is both the light of reason and the light of faith, through which the intellect attains to the natural and supernatural truth of charity: it grasps its meaning as gift, acceptance, and communion. Without truth, charity degenerates into sentimentality. Love becomes an empty shell, to be filled in an arbitrary way. In a culture without truth, this is the fatal risk facing love. It falls prey to contingent subjective emotions and opinions, the word “love” is abused and distorted, to the point where it comes to mean the opposite. Truth frees charity from the constraints of an emotionalism that deprives it of relational and social content, and of a fideism that deprives it of human and universal breathing-space. In the truth, charity reflects the personal yet public dimension of faith in the God of the Bible, who is both Agápe and Lógos: Charity and Truth, Love and Word…
REASON always stands in need of being purified by faith: this also holds true for political reason, which must not consider itself OMNIPOTENT. For its part, RELIGION always needs to be purified by reason in order to show its authentically human face. Any breach in this dialogue comes only at an enormous price to human development… Read more:

Brain, Mind, and Body in The Healing of Trauma with - Bessel van der Kolk MD
…my group and I did the very first neuroimaging study on people having flashbacks. That turned out to be a very interesting study. We discovered that when people relive their trauma, a fair amount of their brain actually goes offline, particularly in the left anterior prefrontal cortex where the capacity for analyzing, understanding, and language is located. So, essentially we were able to visualize how people become dumbfounded...
...and struck with speechless terror. That is a very big issue. The other thing we discovered or confirmed was that when people relive their trauma, their survival brain, their emotional brain, becomes very activated, and their frontal lobes, their more rational brain, gets deactivated, so that people sort of “take leave of their senses” in some ways—so that people’s cognitions fail them. We learned that the insula, the part of the brain that’s involved in registering and noting what is going on in your body, becomes impaired, so there’s a decreased body–mind connection that needs to be reactivated. Various people have discovered that the medial prefrontal cortex—the part of the brain that allows you to feel yourself, notice yourself and be in touch with yourself—gets quite thrown off track, basically, so that it is really hard to notice what goes on inside of you and to manage what goes on inside of you…

Pope Benedict XVI IS NOT A NAZI !!!
If you are educated enough: if you have not overdosed on stupid pills, as the global example presented by the majority of the RC members of the curia and hierarchy, who have lost their way - falling victim to populism of the “post-truth” era, disregarding truth overwhelmed by the hysteria of the crowds fantasy about human sexuality - that has fueled their unconscious repressed homosexual fear having become frozen, paralyzed and controlled to follow the flow of the crowd - who are unable or unwilling to activate their rational brain and reverse the trauma - if you are this kind of person - you may be able to begin to understand the unprecedented complex levels of the horrific effects of nazism on a child growing up in Nazi Germany. To think of Benedict as a Nazi - is a way to maintain “the just world” fallacy. It devalues Benedict as a victim, and it obscures the truth and allows violence to continue.
Just-World Hypothesis Definition
The just-world hypothesis is the belief that, in general, the social environment is fair, such that people get what they deserve. The concept was developed in part to help explain observations that to preserve a belief that the world is a just place, people will sometimes devalue a victim. A just world is defined as a world in which people do get what they deserve. The just-world hypothesis is important because it suggests that people may treat certain victims badly, oddly enough, out of a desire to sustain their belief in justice…

Benedict is a childhood extremely traumatized victim of Nazi inhumanity and barbarity unprecedented in human history.
This form of childhood traumatization the effects of which are tightly hidden in the unconscious mind, however, there tends to be a continuous unconscious re-enactment that takes place throughout the person’s lifetime. It is an unconscious attempt to try to make sense of a traumatizing event(s) until a time in the future, if ever that the early childhood trauma can be safely identified, acknowledge and accepted by the victim.
FORMER PRESIDENT OF Ireland,
Mary McAleesey
Youth Synod
Youth Synod
Through Benedict’s unconscious re-enactments of the tactics of Hitler’s radical barbarity, specifically surrounding the understanding of homosexuality, that like Hitler’s radical dehumanization of the Jewish people gave license to the Nazi regime that unleashed ever more radical forms of dehumanizing barbarity - Benedict opened the Vatican’s door to the same. Their disrespect for the science on homosexuality mirrored an example to the world that as Benedict describes in his letter - the absence truth empty’s love of its meaning - to be arbitrarily filled till the meaning of love is so twisted around that it comes to mean the opposite - and worst it is past off as God’s love, e.g. Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone like the Nazis falsely claimed homosexuals molest children, and Cardinal Burke calls gay people the same as murders. For over 30 years, they were and still are major contributors to shaping and fueling, on many different levels, to the “post-truth” era of a form of populism. It ignored the aspects of reason, logic, science and clung to the emotional hysteria of their repressed homosexual fear. They have fallen victim to the phenomenon known as GROUPTHINK. For proof of this curia and hierarchical idiocy of “post-truth” just look at who the US bishops chose to send to the synod on youth this October 2018 i.e. Chaput. Chaput's continuous insistent to avoid “hot button” issues like gay marriage is more clearly his attempt to repress his own homosexual erotic feelings and thoughts. Chaput’s chronic antigay statements demonstrates the meaning of reaction formation, which has been the typical attitude shared among the majority of the US prelates. Is there any wonder how and why they fuel the “post-truth” era? No one seems the least concerned that Chaput is not at all a safe person to send to the synod on youth??? If anyone was serious in the curia and hierarchy about truth, love and our youth we would send the FORMER PRESIDENT OF Ireland, Mary McAleese. McAleese cares about LGBT youth, she has more knowledge, wisdom, spirituality not to mention her stills as a president than any member of the curia and hierarchy - beside she is a real mom - about relating and understanding youth. Asking McAleese to take the place of Chaput - would create more good will and credibility about the synod on youth. However, she would have to be granted an equal voice on all aspects of the synod.
Outspoken archbishop takes the reins in Philly - September 8, 2011
…Chaput is also likely to have a higher profile in the East Coast media market, and receive greater scrutiny for his frequent remarks and writings on issues like gay marriage (“The issue of our time,” he says), abortion rights and what he calls the perilous American drift into secularism and moral relativism.
In a crucial swing state with a bevy of Catholic voters, Chaput told The Associated Press on Tuesday that if Catholic politicians who support abortion rights “don’t believe what the church teaches, they’re not really Catholic.”
Those are the kind of remarks that have dismayed more progressive Catholics who say Chaput and other bishops should worry more about pastoral concerns than politics, especially given the ongoing sexual abuse scandal… Read more: https://religionnews.com/2011/09/08/outspoken-archbishop-takes-the-reins-in-philly/

Former president Mary McAleese has said she likes the fact that Pope Francis is “an argumentative pope.” She liked it that he encouraged debate within the Catholic Church and wasn’t afraid of divergence…
Problem
The overriding problem with the church was that it operated as an empire in an age when that model of governance was long since outdated, she said. At the centre was a small all-male cohort who acted as “legislators and judges and juries” as well as being “purveyors of doctrine”.
The problem was a structure in which the men at the top spoke down to the people at the bottom. But that way of communicating was becoming increasingly problematic for church leaders because the people at the bottom had found their voices and were speaking up, and cardinals and bishops were not able to control that – as in the recent abortion referendum in Ireland, she said… Read more: https://www.irishtimes.com/news/social-affairs/religion-and-beliefs/mary-mcaleese-likes-argumentative-pope-francis-who-likes-you-to-argue-back-1.3566069
Pope Francis: The Church is not just the bishops – it’s everyone
Jun 6, 2018
…In his June 6 general audience, the pope said the sacrament of Confirmation unites candidates more closely to the Church, and gives them a stronger identity as “a living member of the mystical body of Christ.”
“The mission of the Church in the world proceeds through the contribution of those who are a part of it,” he said, noting in off-the-cuff comments that when it comes to how the Church is understood, “some think that there are only bishops, the bosses, and then there are the workers.”
“No, the Church is all of us, everyone, each person has their role in the Church, but we are all the Church,” he said, adding that “we must think of the Church as a living organism, composed of people who we know and with whom we walk, and not as an abstract and distant reality.”
“The Church is we who walk, we who are here in the square. It’s everyone,” he said…

“Divas on tour”
Pope tells cardinals: Avoid palace intrigue, serve Christ and the Church
Jun 28, 2018
ROME - Don’t waste your time being involved in palace intrigue, and focus solely on serving Christ and his Church, was Pope Francis’s message to the 14 new cardinals he created on Thursday.
“What does it profit us to gain the whole world if we are corroded within?” asked Francis at a consistory at St. Peter’s Basilica. “What does it profit us to gain the whole world if we are living in a stifling atmosphere of intrigues that dry up our hearts and impede our mission?”
“Here, as someone has observed, we might think of all those palace intrigues that take place, even in curial offices,” Francis continued.
In keeping with what has become his custom, Francis’s new appointments to the College of Cardinals come from remote corners of the globe, including non-majority Catholic locations such as Pakistan, Madagascar, Iraq, and Japan…

Pope at Angelus: Two characteristics of missionary disciples - July 15, 2018
…“The second characteristic of the missionary style,” Pope Francis said, is that the mission has “a face,” an aspect that it presents to the world. This “face” consists in “poverty of means.” The disciples were ordered to “take nothing for the journey but a walking stick.” Pope Francis said this means Jesus wants His disciples to be free, depending only on “the love of Him who sends them, strengthened only by His Word which they proclaim.” Missionary disciples are not “all-powerful managers, or irreplaceable functionaries, or divas on tour.”
How Pope Francis Is Changing the Catholic Church- JULY 16, 2018
by JASON HOROWITZ
It’s a June morning at the Vatican, and Pope Francis is wearing a hangdog expression—all watchful eyes and soft apostolic chins. It’s how he looks opposite strongmen in Myanmar or posing with Donald Trump or preparing to berate the Vatican hierarchy for being out of touch and insular. Today, though, we’re in the marble lobby of the Paul VI audience hall, and schoolchildren are preparing to sing songs. I’m a little worried what they might think.
But when the kids ask him questions, Francis brightens dramatically. He suddenly radiates ebullience and avuncular warmth. As a journalist who has covered Francis for years, I’ve seen this shift before—when he’s broken from sermons to share homespun wisdom or embraced a Muslim asylum seeker in a refugee camp or drifted back to the press section of the papal plane to amiably sign books, bless family photos, and accept gifts. I’ve met my share of presidents and prime ministers, and have seen some of the greats at working the press. The time Francis laughed convincingly at my lame joke, I knew I was in the presence of a natural.
He is perched on the edge of his armchair fielding questions: about his first teacher (“Estela; I had her in first and third grade”), where he is from (“the most beautiful city in the world, Buenos Aires”), and what his favorite game was as a child (“We played a lot with kites”). Then one boy stands up and asks him what it felt like when he was elected pope.
“But that question isn’t original!” Francis says with a chuckle. He turns pensive. “I felt peace. That’s the word. That’s not a lie. I’ve felt peace from that day to today.”…
…Inside the Roman Catholic Church, Francis has led a kind of revolution by deemphasizing culture-war issues such as abortion and homosexuality, and by focusing on pastoral outreach to the destitute. His allies tell me he is bringing the gospel back to its simple and radical roots. The tiny Fiats and Fords in which he rides, his humble Vatican residence, his simple white robes—all are designed to send a message…

World Meeting of Families welcoming to all, says Archbishop Martin
July 19, 2018
Mistakes were made where same sex-people were concerned in preparation for the World Meeting of Families, Archbishop Diarmuid Martin has said.
As the person in charge he took responsibility for what happened. But he insisted “the overall thrust of the preparation has been welcoming everybody and that remains the thrust”…
Cardinal Kevin Farrell, prefect of the Vatican’s Dicastery for the Laity, Family and Life – which oversees organisation of the World Meeting of Families from Rome – said he was not responsible for removal of the pictures or for editing Bishop O’Connell’s comments.
Asked whether he was responsible, the Archbishop replied: “I don’t think I was either. But, (as) it happened in the World Meeting of Families, I take responsibility as the person in charge and if mistakes were made I take responsibility for those.”…

LGBTQ Youth At Higher Risk For Homelessness, Sex Trafficking
Jan 24, 2018
…Nationally, about 40 percent of homeless youth identify as LGBTQ. In Springfield, the average is higher - at 55 percent.
Reynolds says their sexual orientation is most likely the reason they ended up on the streets. Because they need shelter and food, homeless youth are a vulnerable target for labor and sex trafficking.
…”The biggest target right now is young gay men," said Reynolds.
It's a situation that can be even harder to spot. For any person looking from the outside, it can look like a normal relationship.
"A typical scenario would be if a young gay man would go to Martha's and then two or three days later he would tell me that he's been staying at an old gentleman's house," said Reynolds. "And everything was going great for a while, and then the older gentleman started asking for favors in return for staying there. That's sex trafficking."

"And everything was going great for a while, and then the older gentleman started asking for favors in return for staying there. That's sex trafficking."
The situation can escalate and go as far as that person forcing the youth to perform favors for others in exchange for shelter and other goods.
"A lot of the at-risk population that we have are the ones that are engaging in that survival sex, or having to give something in order to have a place to stay, and we would consider that unsafe housing," said Sudduth.
Reynolds says young gay men are also less likely to report.
"That's the last thing they're going to do, is to tell someone that they are being taken advantage of every night by another person," said Reynolds.
Reynolds believes what they are fighting are overwhelming religious implications in the area.
"It's sort of top heavy. There really isn't another answer. It's either this religion or not," she said. "It's difficult to fight that money and that power when that's what existed for so long. It sort of tends to lead a blind eye to what's happening on the underside of society."
"No one chooses to be homeless. No one chooses to be taken advantage of by an older gentleman. No one chooses to be sex trafficked," said Reynolds. "We've got to get past the religion oppression. It cannot matter anymore what you believe religiously, you have to look at them as a human being. It's that simple.”…

The Presence of
Parental Love
Written by - Diane Warren - to honor her father
Sung by - Celine Dion
For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through through it all
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
You gave me faith 'cause you
believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
You gave me faith 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

The letter dated: July 12, 2017
July 12, 2017
Bishop David J. Walkowiak
Bishop of the Grand Rapids Diocese
360 Division Avenue S.,
Grand Rapids, MI 49503-4501
Dear Bishop David,
I received your letter dated October 2015, that included a request to set an appointment to dialogue with you. At the time, my commitments,obligations and lack of financial means did not permit me to follow through. Furthermore, the around trip from Canton, MI to Grand Rapids, MI would have been about eight hours. However, after seeking reliable spiritual direction I was advised to write a letter to accept your request to meet. In the process of writing this letter, I began to thoroughly research the situation, from the combined insight obtained from three professionals perspectives, as a priest, as a psychologist, and as a historian. Through these perspectives, I have analyzed the many ways in which I was a victim of antigay hierarchal violence, having no judicial oversight to appeal to for protection within the church or civilly. This is an unidentified form of structural violence directed not at me alone but also many priests, theologians, sisters, religious and others, including Pope Francis for the past four decades - all have been victims of this form of violence.
S t r u c t u r a l V i o l e n c e
Introduction
by Deborah Du Nann Winter and Dana C. Leighton
Peace, conflict, and violence: Peace psychology in the 21st century
…Direct violence is horrific, but its brutality usually gets our attention: we notice it, and often respond to it. Structural violence, however, is almost always invisible, embedded in ubiquitous social structures, normalized by stable institutions and regular experience. Structural violence occurs whenever people are disadvantaged by political, legal, economic, or cultural traditions. Because they are longstanding, structural inequities usually seem ordinary—the way things are and always have been. But structural violence produces suffering and death as often as direct violence does, though the damage is slower, more subtle, more common, and more difficult to repair. The chapters in this section teach us about some important but invisible forms of structural violence, and alert us to the powerful cultural mechanisms that create and maintain them over generations…
One outcome of exclusionary thinking is the belief that victims of violence must in some way deserve their plight. But certainly it is easy to see that young children do not deserve to be victims…
Section II: Winter, D. D., & Leighton, D. C. (2001). Structural violence. In D. J. Christie, R. V. Wagner, & D. D. Winter (Eds.), Peace, conflict, and violence: Peace psychology in the 21st century. New York: Prentice-Hall.
The main purpose of this form of structural violence is to silence and remove anyone in the Church who openly discusses the science on the sexual orientation of homosexuality - gay people. This antigay hierarchical, structural violence has been successful in firmly suppressing this science on homosexuality for the past 60 years. In 1957, world renowned psychologist, Dr. Evelyn Hooker conducted ground breaking research proving that homosexuality is not a mental illness. She proved that being homosexual was just as normal as being heterosexual. For years the hierarchical church has rebuked such scientifically sound findings and have championed the obsessive suppression of gay people. Such actions lead to question who benefits from falsifying truth? The hierarchical church did not suppress the scientific research on heart surgery or cancer for the past 60 years. This vicious form of gay suppression is entrenched in the corruption of the curia in which speaking the truth has become a reprehensible thing. Through my years of analysis, I have come to find that the greatest harm this suppression imposes is on our children.
Truly I tell you, unless you
change and become like little children,
you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this
child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
And whoever welcomes one such child in
my name welcomes me.
Matthew 18: 3-5
…whoever causes one of these
little ones
who believe in Me to stumble,
it would be better for him
to have a heavy millstone hung around his neck,
and to be drowned in the
depth of the sea.
Matthew 18:6
My “coming out” in March 1997 was all based on substantiated science and scripture. Furthermore, it was motivated to protect defenseless children. How did risking my life by coming out warrant such extreme vindictive retaliation for the past 20 years by members of the curia and hierarchy?
How did it get twisted around that I refused to return to the Grand Rapids Dioceses, when in fact, it was made clear to me that it was unsafe for me to return by their coercing me to acquiesce to being sent away to be re-educated on the science on the sexual orientation of homosexuality. They wanted me to leave the priesthood on my own, which would be another grave sin to commit. Since I had no recourse to appeal to for justice in 1997 - what recourse would I have available to me if I returned and more severe immoral tactics were used against me?
This tactic of the curia to dispose of someone was most recently demonstrated by Cardinal Raymond Burke firing Boeselager the Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Malta. Burke falsified a papal decision of Pope Francis that no one was to be fired, that the problematic issues with the Knights of Malta should be resolved through dialogue. Burke without any true dialogue with Boeselager stated that it was Pope Francis’s wish that he resign as the Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Malta. When Boeselager refused to resign because of “unreasonable circumstances,” Burke fired him on the grounds of disobedience. Sound familiar? Boeselager, then appealed directly to Pope Francis and an investigation was ordered into the firing of Boeselager. It was later exposed that the grounds that Burke had used against Boeselager were over “condoms.” However, this information was contrived by a group of Burke’s supporters known as “Lepanto Institute for the Restoration of All Things in Christ.” This group is described as a “militant traditionalist organization close to Burke (Austen Ivereigh).” “This ultraconservative organization specialized in the denunciation of "gays” entering the Church and in attacks on the major development associations that question unfettered economic liberalism (La Croix International).” On February 4, 2017, Pope Francis replaced Cardinal Burke as the Patron of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta and overnight all over Rome appeared posters of Pope Francis with a sad expression with the words - “Where is your mercy?”
It was the truth from science and religion that morally obligated me to come out for the protection of children growing up gay in March 1997. This was an act of love and my duty as a priest. It is the true meaning of being a priest. Pope Francis on Thursday, June 22, 2017 in his homily during Mass at Casa Santa Marta confirmed this fact stating,"The Good Shepherd gives his life for his sheep,” using as an example the parish priest of Barbiana, Fr. Don Milani, the from the Diocese of Firenze (Florence).
The research to find the answers to these questions endlessly kept unfolding more and more information that led back in time - more than a century and a half. The research doors were opened wide once Pope Francis was elected and he along with his team of experts, and cardinals began reforming the curia. The research revealed two main historical events that were dependent on exploiting societal prejudices against gay people to rise and to stay in power. The, first, began with the ideology of Nazism promoted by Hitler and the Nazi regime that led to the deaths of 70 million people unprecedented in human history. The, second, began the with ideology of the “trickle-down theory” known as Reaganomics that led to Globalization and the greatest inequality in human history - “A world where 1% of humanity controls as much wealth as the bottom 99% will never be stable (President Obama’s departing speech to the UN General Assembly September 2016).‟ Ian Kershaw explains what Hitler’s place in history will be:
…Primarily, as the inspiration of the most lethal and destructive war in history, and of the most terrible genocidethe world has ever seen. He left behind him not just physical, but also moral, ruination such as history has never previously experienced. He represented an extreme pathology of modern society. He showed us the most radical face of modern inhumanity – how an advanced society can undergo a breathtaking descent into modern barbarity that’s quite without precedent. That’s what, with the passage of time, we can see was historically defining about Hitler. Never before Hitler’s time had we seen so clearly what human beings are capable of…
…we shouldn’t mystify Hitler’s personality. The uniquenessof Nazism can’t be reduced to that strange personality. Another time, another place, and Hitler would have had no impact at all. He couldn’t have derailed a modern society without that society itself making a major contribution to its own fate… We shouldn’t be complacent about the future. New forms of fascism and racial intolerance rightly appal and worry us…
…what we can do is to remind ourselves of the essential point about Hitler: he represented the most fundamental and frontal assault ever launched on all that we associate with humanity and civilisation.
Excerpt from: - Hitler’s Place in History - Ian Kershaw
Professor of Modern History at Sheffield University
Lecture - Wednesday 27th April 2005
Over the past year and a half - I have been researching and writing 24/7, since I received your letter - gathering significant amounts of factual data on all three levels (as a priest, psychologist and historian). This research includes my personal experience of being a victim of the hierarchical, antigay violence. As it happens when I do research, such as it did when I was doing the qualitative research on the Holocaust in graduate school for psychology, it is only after thoroughly exhausting every possible avenue several times do all the pieces begin to fall into place like a jigsaw puzzle that a picture is formed.
The picture centers on the crucial importance for the safety and well-being of all of humanity present and on into the future and is dependent on maintaining an ongoing dialogue between science and religion. This is necessary to obtain truth that which then gives meaning and value to love. Without this truth formed through this process -
…Love becomes an empty shell, to be filled in an arbitrary way. In a culture without truth, this is the fatal risk facing love. It falls prey to contingent subjective emotions and opinions, the word “love” is abused and distorted,to the point where it comes to mean the opposite…
Benedict XVI - Caritas in Veritate 2007 2009
Pope Benedict XVI goes on to make the warning that “Any breachin this dialogue comes only at an enormous price to human development…” St. Pope John Paul II made an early statement to this effect explaining how science and religion cannot be separated. He explains - as Benedict does that science is the study of all of God’s creation and religion is formed from the bible, which is the inspired word of God. They both explain how the dialogue between science and religion becomes a self-correcting mechanism of oversight, preventing abuse and maintaining integrity of both science and religion - thus allowing science and religion to guide us on our journey into the future. Both John Paul II and Benedict XVI are writing from their experience having lived through the atrocities of Hitler and the Nazi regime (1933-1945) that resulted from their manipulation and abuse of science and religion to invent a pseudo-science to legitimize Hitler’s ideology of Nazism and pseudo-religious terms to promote it. They experienced living in a social environment saturated in the racial ideology of Nazism - where the meaning of love was so twisted around that in actuality love meant the opposite. Love meant exterminating people considered to be less than human or subhuman - “Life Unworthy Of Life.”
With the recent election of President Trump we are experiencing living in a similar social environment saturated with the ideology of the “trickle-down theory.” This led to Globalization that was also legitimized by the manipulation of science and religion that twisted the meaning of love around to mean the exact opposite. In addition to Mr. Trump’s behavior, the Republican Convention 2016 slogans, “Lock her up!” (that sounded like the palpable hysteria of the Nazi Party “Sieg Heil” chant at a Cathedral lit Nuremberg Rally of the 1930s) and his being elected US president are all blatant examples of love twisted to mean the opposite. Both the rise of Nazism and Globalization were depended on the exploitation of societal prejudices against gay people.
However, in regards to rise of the “trickle-down theory”of the 1980s that led to Globalization - the majority of the members of the curia and hierarchy are responsible for the exploitation of societal prejudices against gay people. The research of Dr. Evelyn Hooker and subsequent research completely dispel prejudices against gay people. Instead of the curia and hierarchy acknowledging the truth of this science - they manipulated religion by misusing the bible and continued to wrongly condemn homosexuality. Thus they twisted the meaning of truth around to the point that it continues to mean the opposite. They and their supporters are not about truth and therefore not about love. They are no different than the palpable hysteria of the Nazi Party “Sieg Heil” members at the Nuremberg Rallies of the 1930s. And this is the violence, their twisted meaning of truth - the complete absence of love, they have used against me and against so many others before and after me. Some of our best and brightest theologians and bridge makers, such as, Sister Jeannine Gramick and Fr. Robert Nugent. Gramick and Nugent have been responsible since 1977 for saving millions of people’s lives, especially very young children. To the best of my knowledge, they were the first to begin an ongoing dialogue on the science of the sexual orientation of homosexuality - gay people and religion - scripture and theology.
S c i e n c e can purify religion from error and superstition;
R e l i g i o n can purify science from idolatry and false absolutes.
Each can draw the other into a wider world,
a world in which both can flourish.
For the truth of the matter is that the Church and the scientific
community will inevitably interact; their options
do not include isolation.
St. Pope John Paul II - 1988
I came out in March 1997: for the protection of children, as young as 4 and 5 years of age, who are growing up gay. Since then it has become a moral obligation to educate and prevent forced parental suppression and unsubstantiated antigay social and religious norms.What has bothered me ever since was the fact that I found it difficult to find the r o o t c a u s e in understanding “how” and “why” and “when” did the meaning of “love” and “truth” get so monumentally - twisted around; notably among the majority of the members of the curia and hierarchy to mean the exact opposite.
For the past 10 years I have been writing in an effort to explain how this mindless inquisition that started almost immediately after coming out in June 1997 - of being coerced “behind closed doors” by a directive from the curia conveyed by the bishop for me to acquiesce to being sent away “somewhere” to be re-educated on the science on the sexual orientation of homosexuality. This directive was not only shocking, but traumatizing as well.
This irrational directive from the curia completely negated the immediate need of protecting the lives of millions of very young defenseless children from lifelong debilitating harmful effects. It also negated the wealth of the authoritative substantiated research gathered from the major medical and mental health associations, institutions, and organizations, including universities. This was the reason for my “coming out.”
Through knowledge acquired during my studies at the University of Michigan and attending the American Psychological Association National Conventions my research was reinforced on the science of sexual orientation. The action of the curia and hierarchy was a blatant affront, a direct attack on truth and love, as taught and embodied in Jesus Christ, of which the entire purpose and meaning of priesthood is based on. It was like a supervisor telling a heart surgeon that he is going to be be sent away on a sabbatical to be reeducated on the ancient system of medicine known as “bloodletting.” I cannot explain how twisted it sounded - to be told such absurdity!!! “Who in the hell is running this ship?!?” I was 47 years old at the time.
How did the curia and hierarchy cause a breach in the dialogue between science and religion that ended up twisting the meaning of love around to mean the opposite?
We will learn from studying the - science on sexual orientation that it is composed of interrelated biological and psychological processes that are not able to be consciously controlled or suppressed. These interrelated processes function outside our conscious awareness - automatically and continuously throughout life as part of the autonomic nervous system - like the heart beating and breathing. The continuous functioning of our sexual orientation - is essential in meeting our most basic human need for love, attachment, intimacy, through which empathy is developed. The continuous functioning of our sexual orientation is as vital to human survival from the beginning of life to the end - as the heart beating and breathing. Any attempt to force the suppression of a child’s gay sexual orientation is the same as suppressing the heart and breathing rate which can cause a number of lifelong adverse effects (persistent form of depression (dysthymia), suicidal ideation, and obsessive dislike for gay people that is implicit, to explicit verbal expressions of hate, to lethal forms of violence, and torture).
The majority of the members of the curia and hierarchy are European. They are the ones who grew up in the toxic antigay social environments left behind by Hitler’s Nazi regime. This begins to explain the long history of the majority of the members of the curia and hierarchy’s collective obsessive antigay crusade. This collective thought suppressed all emerging science on homosexuality for the past 60 years. For these members of the curia and hierarchy the thought of gay science has been a long closed door slammed shut in their early childhood years. This was out of great fear from their witnessing the terror in the adult’s warnings of how Hitler treated priests who were found out to be homosexuals. As this trauma of the early childhood events are not remembered, only the emotional terror of the event remains. It is this emotional terror that is wronglymistaken as an innate guiding voice of their conscience strongly conveying to them that homosexuality is evil. This misunderstanding then becomes a force that completely obliterates years of scientific research on homosexuality. It is more likely that such scientific research ignites seemingly unending waves of unexplainable terror. That door slammed tightly shut - is the breach in the dialogue between science and religion on the issue of homosexuality. This is a childhood defense mechanism. It is the only means available to the child to stop the unending waves of fear. However, as adults, these childhood defenses must be reexamined in a safe environment - to be challenged in the adult dialogue between science and religion on issues of homosexuality. As Pope Benedict XVI explains, this is the only process to find truth and give real value and meaning to the understanding of love. I do not presume this to be an easy task to unravel and should only be attempted in a safe environment. However, this situation - is not unusual - it brings to mind the words of St. Paul to be understood with great care and empathy.
When I was a child, I talked like a child,
I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child.
When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.
1 Corinthians 13:11
No, no, no this type of breach in the dialogue between science and religion on gay sexual orientation has to stop! Justice demands that I be exonerated and proper restitution be made for all harm endured, including the lost salary for the past 20 years to be made quickly. Not to follow through on this road of true justice is to continue this breach in the dialogue between science and religion on gay sexual orientation. Am I, like so many others, going to be made an example of what happens when a priest speaks aloud the truth? Will this be a situation reminiscent of Hitler’s regime to remove and silence Anti-Nazi priests? Are you going demonstrate publicly how an advanced society of people made a major contribution to the modern barbarity of Hitler and the Nazi regime by their complicity and indifference?
My moral obligation as a priest is to protect people, especially children.
I look forward to setting a time to dialogue the reality of this situation in the light of the warnings of both St. Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI while maintaining an open discussion between science and religion for the search of truth that leads to love.
Sincerely yours,
Fr. Marty Kurylowicz

Re-education Clinics - of homosexual sexual orientation
QUACKS: 'Conversion Therapists,' the Anti-LGBT Right, and the Demonization of Homosexuality May 25, 2016
This is a report about junk science and some of the people who propagate it. It is not about silly, perhaps amusing theories about ESP or life on the moon or even purported miracle cures for cancer. The “science” examined here actively harms people, leading with grim regularity to suicide, depression and an array of self-destructive behaviors. It demeans, defames and defrauds human beings, typically at their most vulnerable moments. And, as if that weren’t enough, it regularly lays the blame for the alleged malady of homosexuality at the feet of gay people’s parents, despite the fact that they are wholly innocent.
Executive Summary
...The real science is perfectly clear. A consensus of the vast majority of psychiatrists, psychologists and other counselors and their professional organizations agree that homosexuality is a normal variation of human sexuality. Likewise, they condemn reparative therapy and other attempts to change sexual orientation…

The Pope: Journey from liberal to conservative
12 February 2013
…In 1966, just after the end of the Council, Joseph Ratzinger took up a new academic position at Tubingen University, which was at the time the flagship of liberal theology in Germany. So when student revolutions convulsed Western Europe and the United States two years later, he was a first-hand witness.
The experience changed his life. Years afterwards he recalled the "traumatic memory" of a group of theology students at Tubingen who put out a flier claiming that "the New Testament is a document of inhumanity, a large scale deception of the masses", and asking "so what is Jesus's Cross but the expression of a sado-masochistic glorification of pain?
Prof Ratzinger, as a German who had grown up in the 1930s, understood all too well what a totalitarian regime could do. He saw a new left-wing totalitarianism at work in the revolutionary spirit of the 1960s.
"It is true I saw a new spirit creeping in," he said. "A spirit in which fanatical ideologies made use of the spirit of Christianity… Here I saw very clearly… that there was an abuse of the Church and the faith, which were used as instruments of power.”…

E.J. Dionne: Pope Benedict’s legacy is one of paradox
Feb.11, 2013
…The student revolts of 1968 deeply alarmed him. “At the time,” he wrote, “I was dean of the faculty of theology at [the University of] Tubingen, and in all the university assemblies in which I participated, I could notice all kinds of terror, from subtle psycho-terror up to violence.”
He described how he initially regarded Marxism as a possible corrective to certain strains of modern thought. But he came in the late 1960s to identify it with “terror.” He added: “I think that in those years, I learned where discussion must stop because it is turning into a lie and resistance must begin in order to maintain freedom.”…
The paradoxes of Benedict — and perhaps of Catholicism itself — were visible in two statements he made at Christmastime. Progressives could only welcome an op-ed piece he wrote for the Financial Times on Dec. 19 in which he declared that “Christians fight poverty out of a recognition of the supreme dignity of every human being, created in God’s image and destined for eternal life.”
Yet he followed this with a Christmas sermon denouncing gay marriage, insisting that gays and lesbians were turning their backs on the “essence of the human creature” and denying “their nature.”

Fr. Marty Kurylowicz - June 9, 2017 - Excerpts:
The hierarchy and Pope Francis - vividly validated the reasoning for the immediacy - why I came out in March 1997, as pastor of Holy Family Parish, Sparta, Michigan - for the protection of gay children, as young as 4 and 5 years of age - from the lifelong harmful effects growing up gay or bisexual - during early childhood caused by the influence of anti-gay social and religious norms. These lifelong harmful effects can be clearly observed in the curia and hierarchy fierce homophobic behavior - their inability to form life-long meaningful and fulfilling relationships, including their inability to connect with others, their lack of empathy for others, their over concerns about outward appearance, status and careers, as noted in Pope Francis "Christmas address to the curia", December 22, 2014. It is not only their complete absence of maintaining any ongoing dialogue between science and religion on the topic homosexual sexual orientation for the past 60 years, which is directly against the words of Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI , it is also by their immediate emotional explosive outbursts to the 2014 midterm report of Synod session on Family - that listed notes of the open discussion that took place - discussing ways of how to be pastorally more welcoming to gay people and their families, including ways of valuing long term committed gay relationships. There was a lot of emotional outbursts among the curia and hierarchy, however, there is absolutely - no detail reasoning to substantiate their extraordinary hostile and aggressive reactions to the report. So intense was their fierce emotional reaction that the continuation of this open discussion on gay people scheduled for the second synod on Family session 2015 had to be canceled.
Sadly, one cannot, also, help to notice the enormous amount of the emotional psychic energy that is use by the curia and the hierarchy completely absorbed in an anti-gay obsession and the enormous amount of Pope Francis emotional psychic energy is used in reaching out to all people globally in nearly every situation in extraordinary effort to be inclusive of everyone, particularly those most forgotten and are in need of our help. Pope Francis has been relentless in this regard since his election to the papacy in March 2013.
As Church Shifts, a Cardinal Welcomes Gays; They Embrace a ‘Miracle’ The New York Times - June 13, 2017
NEWARK — The word “pilgrimage” usually evokes visions of far-off, exotic places, but for some 100 gay and lesbian Catholics and their families, a pilgrimage to the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart here on a recent Sunday was more like a homecoming.
The doors to the cathedral were opened to them, and they were welcomed personally by the leader of the Archdiocese of Newark, Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin. They were seated on folding chairs at the cathedral’s center, in front of the altar in the towering sanctuary, under the blue-tinted glow of stained glass.
“I am Joseph, your brother,” Cardinal Tobin told the group, which included lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Catholics from around New York and the five dioceses in New Jersey. “I am your brother, as a disciple of Jesus. I am your brother, as a sinner who finds mercy with the Lord.”
The welcoming of a group of openly gay people to Mass by a leader of Cardinal Tobin’s standing in the Roman Catholic Church in this country would have been unthinkable even five years ago. But Cardinal Tobin, whom Pope Francis appointed to Newark last year, is among a small but growing group of bishops changing how the American church relates to its gay members. They are seeking to be more inclusive and signaling to subordinate priests that they should do the same…
Four years ago, Pope Francis shook the Catholic world with his comment about gay priests seeking the Lord: “Who am I to judge?” But it was unclear how his words would affect Catholics seeking acceptance in the pews…
But gestures like Cardinal Tobin’s are evidence that Pope Francis’ words are having an impact…Read more: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/13/nyregion/catholic-church-gays-mass-newark-cathedral.html?_r=0

DR. EVELYN HOOKER
In the USA, 1957, Evelyn Hooker’s most notable and ground breaking research proving that homosexuality is not a mental illness was completed called:-
in which she administered several psychological tests to groups of self-identified male homosexuals and heterosexuals and asked experts to identify the homosexuals and rate their mental health. The experiment, which other researchers subsequently repeated, argues that homosexuality is not a mental disorder, as there was no detectable difference between homosexual and heterosexual men in terms of mental adjustment... Photo
Being Gay Is Just as Healthy as Being Straight
Evelyn Hooker's pioneering research debunked the popular myth that homosexuals are inherently less mentally healthy than heterosexuals, leading to significant changes in how psychology views and treats people who are gay...
Hooker's work was the first to empirically test the assumption that gay men were mentally unhealthy and maladjusted. The fact that no differences were found between gay and straight participants sparked more research in this area and began to dismantle the myth that homosexual men and women are inherently unhealthy.
In conjunction with other empirical results, this work led the American Psychiatric Association to remove homosexuality from the DSM in 1973 (it had been listed as a sociopathic personality disorder). In 1975, the American Psychological Association publicly supported this move, stating that "homosexuality per se implies no impairment in judgment, reliability or general social and vocational capabilities…(and mental health professionals should) take the lead in removing the stigma of mental illness long associated with homosexual orientation." Although prejudice and stigma still exist in society, this research has helped millions of gay men and women gain acceptance in the mental health community.

i.e. Curia & Hierarchy
October 01, 2004 | Cultural Psychiatry, Dissociative Identity Disorder
By Jack Drescher, MD
In the jargon of contemporary homosexual culture, those who hide their sexual identities are referred to as either closeted or said to be in the closet. Revealing one's homosexuality is referred to as coming out. Clinical experience with gay patients reveals hiding and revealing behaviors to be psychologically complex.
Homosexual Identities
In the developmental histories of gay men and women, periods of difficulty in acknowledging their homosexuality, either to themselves or to others, are often reported. Children who grow up to be gay rarely receive family support in dealing with antihomosexual prejudices. On the contrary, beginning in childhood--and distinguishing them from racial and ethnic minorities--gay people are often subjected to the antihomosexual attitudes of their own families and communities (Drescher et al., 2004). Antihomosexual attitudes include homophobia (Weinberg, 1972), heterosexism (Herek, 1984), moral condemnations of homosexuality (Drescher, 1998) and antigay violence (Herek and Berrill, 1992). Hiding activities learned in childhood often persist into young adulthood, middle age and even senescence, leading many gay people to conceal important aspects of themselves…
Dissociation
What psychological mechanisms facilitate separating one's sexual identity from the rest of one's persona? Sullivan's (1956) concept of dissociation may be illuminating, particularly its most common aspect: selective inattention. A ubiquitous, nonpathological process, selective inattention makes life more manageable, like tuning out the background noise on a busy street. However, through dissociation of anxiety-provoking knowledge about the self, a whole double life can be lived and yet, in some ways, not be known. Clinical presentations of closeted gay people may lie somewhere in severity between selective inattention--most commonly seen in the case of homosexually self-aware patients thinking about "the possibility" that they might be gay--to more severe dissociation--in which any hint of same-sex feelings resides totally out of conscious awareness. More severe forms of dissociation are commonly observed in married men who are homosexually self-aware but cannot permit the thought of themselves as gay (Roughton, 2002).

17 Antigay Leaders Exposed as Gay or Bi
- January 27, 2016
- January 27, 2016
The internet was buzzing in January when an editor at a gay website in Virginia wrote that he'd encountered an antigay Republican lawmaker while on Grindr, without naming the person. Not every antigay crackpot is actually gay, but there's no shortage of those who actually are. Here are some hypocrites who just couldn't practice what they preached…
A child’s sexual orientation is not about sexual behavior - it is about love, wanting to feel one with another. Depending on the severity of this rejection of a child’s expression of love - the child wants to desperately please his parents and will learn to hid from his parent such emotions of love that are disturbing to them. He will even hide them from himself and thus begins the mental dissociation of this child - attempting to suppress the never ending - regular functioning of his sexual orientation of the emotional impulses - to be loved and to love and to feel one with another
Sexual orientation refers to an enduring pattern of emotional, romantic and/or sexual attractions to men, women or both sexes... http://www.apa.org/topics/lgbt/orientation.aspx
Autonomic nervous system The autonomic nervous system is a control system that acts largely unconsciously and regulates bodily functions such as the heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate, pupillary response, urination, and sexual arousal…https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomic_nervous_system#cite_note-Human_Physiology_-_Janig-2
However, as explained above - a person’s sexual orientation like the heart beating, breathing, sexual arousal, etc., are all under the control autonomic nervous system that operates automatically and unconsciously - they cannot be suppressed.
The Eyes Have It: Sex and Sexual Orientation Differences in Pupil Dilation Patterns
August 3. 2012 …pupil dilation to stimuli indicates activation of the autonomic nervous system. This system is associated with many automatic processes such as perspiration, digestion, blood pressure, and heart rate. For this reason, pupil dilation has been used as indicator of automatic response, for example, in studies of implicit reaction and cognitive load. Other research suggests that pupil dilation can reflect automatic attention, or attention that is likely not in the conscious control of participants. It is therefore unlikely that participants suppress pupil dilation to stimuli they are sexually attracted to. Pupil dilation patterns could therefore reflect, with high sensitivity, automatic attention related to sexual attraction and sexual orientation…

AUSCHWITZ -- CHRISTMAS 2008 -- A flashback far more severe than in --- BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN
December 26, 2008 – Fr. Marty Kurylowicz
Dear Fr. Geoff Farrow,
I have been so saddened by Pope Benedict XVI's cruel words to LGBTQ people around the world, to their parents, families and friends, most ESPECIALLY TO CHILDREN. After reading the accounts of this human travesty, I did not know where to find comfort or hope. And then I thought about your blog. And just like receiving a wonderful Christmas present, sure enough I found the hope and comfort I needed to hear. Photo
I am a priest and a clinical psychologist (MS). And for one of my research projects I chose to do a qualitative research project of the recorded verbal accounts of survivors of the Holocaust, 50 years after the event. It was a difficult research project, because I could not make sense of one of the accounts of the survivors.
For example, one survivor was describing what it was like riding the train to AUSCHWITZ, but he was describing how he was trying to make conversation with a girl on the train. I listened and wrote out this one account almost 30 times but I just was not getting it. I could not understand how this man could be talking about wanting to make conversation with this girl on the same train to AUSCHWITZ!?!
Because I had taught high school religion classes for nearly 20 years, it hit me hard, like a flash of lightning. Instantly, all the pieces came together, so fast. Though this survivor was in his late 60’s when he gave his account of his story on audiotape, he was remembering the events that took place, but naturally they were recounted through the mind of a teenager, the age he was on the train to AUSCHWITZ. That is why the dialogue wasn’t making any sense. I was thinking of him as an old man because the voice on the audiotape was the voice of a 68-year-old. As shocking as a bomb going off, all the different aspects of the psychological developmental stages of a teenager kicked in. I realized only too fully that he was just a young normal teenager on that train!!! And so was the girl he was trying to make conversation, and their moms and dads were there with them!!! There was no way to pretend I did not realize what I discovered. It kept hitting me: this is not some script from a movie or TV miniseries on the Holocaust. No; as much as I wished it were. The reality of this horror hit me all at once, on so many different levels of consciousness: what an unbelievable horror it was!!! How could we treat human beings like this! I remember when the realization of the magnitude of this horror first hit me, like an instant reflex. I threw down the transcript I was holding as if it were a blazing hot poker. It kept hitting me over and over again that this is not a movie script or some kind of play – this really happened! It really happened! Oh, my God, how could this have happened!?!!!
My supervisor told me at the time that I was traumatized by the oral content. Qualitative research is an attempt to understand the complexity of emotions, the kinds of emotions, and the degree of intensity involved. Our emotions are what allow us to connect with other human beings. We identify with the non-verbal quality of emotions more immediately and strongly than with the words used to express them. The non-verbal qualities include tone of voice, eye contact, facial expression, body posture, and gestures, all of which express emotions. Emotions are why we can connect with people through time, across cultures, and individually. It is the expression of human emotions in the arts that makes some works of art timeless, because they continually speak to all people through the ages.
And when I heard what Pope Benedict XVI said about homosexuals and transgendered human beings at Christmas 2008, I felt that same trauma all over again. Because in some way, somehow, he was conveying in a non-verbal manner the horror of the Holocaust, in what appears to be a traumatized, trance-like, accepted social norm from that period of time dictating that some people just don’t count, aren’t important, and can be easily disposed of. And if you rock the boat, you could be next to be disposed of.
I truly have to believe that a person in his position would not be doing this consciously or intentionally. The horror of the Holocaust is like an atomic bomb with fallout so extensive that it spreads over a radius of more than 150 miles. The horror of the Holocaust began in 1933 and ended in 1945. The psychological fallout would have been far more extensive and more deadly, especially when it is not identified as such.
It hit me the way it did when I realized that the research I was doing about a Holocaust survivor, a man 68 years old telling his story, who was remembering what it was like to be on the train to AUSCHWITZ, from the perspective of a young teenage boy who just wanted to talk to a girl. It seemed like the same kind of horror, a tacit assumption that some people don't count and can be disposed of without remorse. Could it be that Benedict XVI is unconsciously repeating Hitler's crime against humanity by taking on a long-accepted social attitude from that period of time?
The question I asked myself was: what would it have been like for someone growing up gay during the Nazi Persecution of Homosexuals 1933 -1945?
What would be the severity of the psychological effects on a boy who grew up to be gay in Germany during the time of Hitler’s NAZI PERSECUTION OF HOMOSEXUALS 1933 -1945? During the Nazi regime, homosexuals were publicly defamed and falsely accused for the major social problems of that time, which was done to incite massive public hatred and hostility directed against homosexuals. Homosexuals were used for medical experiments, physically mutilated, brutally tortured and exterminated.
Would this child, as an adult, in a severe dissociated state of mind from his own homosexual feelings (Harry Stack Sullivan MD, Dissociative Processes, Clinical Studies on Psychiatry (1956)), unconsciously perpetuate the terrifying horror of the insensitivity he had experienced growing up? If he found himself in a position of authority would he recreate the same social and political environment of violence and terror for homosexuals that he experienced, as a child who grew up to be gay, during the NAZI PERSECUTION OF HOMOSEXUALS?
I think in truth on a much deeper level I was frightened, really frightened, to hear Pope Benedict XVI’s Christmas remarks against homosexuals and transgendered human beings and even more frightened by the silence from the larger global community of human beings. What is so frightening is, even if there is agreement that one person does not matter or is not important, in truth then no one matters. Therefore, when I thought about your blog and what you did on October 5, 2008, I felt more reassured, I felt hope, and I felt comforted. NOW, isn’t that the true meaning of Christmas?
God Bless you,
Fr. Marty Kurylowicz
