“50 Shades of Gay, 
Is Beyond Comprehension...” 

Andrew Sullivan: The Corruption of the Vatican’s Gay Elite Has Been Exposed 
Feb. 22, 2019 - New York Magazine
I spent much of this week reading and trying to absorb the new and devastating book by one Frédéric Martel on the gayness of the hierarchy at the top of the Catholic Church, In the Closet of the Vatican: Power, Homosexuality, Hypocrisy. It’s a bewildering and vast piece of reporting — Martel interviewed no fewer than “41 cardinals, 52 bishops and monsignori, 45 apostolic nuncios, secretaries of nunciatures or foreign ambassadors, 11 Swiss Guards and over 200 Catholic priests and seminarians.” He conducted more than 1,500 interviews over four years, is quite clear about his sources, and helps the reader weigh their credibility. He keeps the identity of many of the most egregiously hypocritical cardinals confidential, but is unsparing about the dead… 
…Martel didn’t expect this remarkable candor, or, clearly, what he was about to see: “Whether they are ‘practising’, ‘homophile’, ‘initiates’, ‘unstraights’, ‘wordly’, ‘versatile’, ‘questioning’, or simply ‘in the closet’, the world I am discovering, with its 50 shades of gay, is beyond comprehension.” 
Among the named sources: Francesco Lepore, a brilliant young gay Latin translator and priest. He soared through the ranks, directly serving Popes Benedict XVI and Francis, until, as a gay man, he found a way to quit his post because he couldn’t abide the double life he was forced to lead, or the rancid hypocrisy of the whole system. He says he saw everything from the inside: “He has had several lovers among archbishops and prelates; he has been propositioned by a number of cardinals, whom we discuss: an endless list. I have scrupulously checked all of those stories, making contact myself with those cardinals, archbishops, monsignori, nuncios, assistants, ordinary priests or confessors at St Peter’s, all basically homosexual.” This is not the peddling of innuendo, or salacious gossip. It’s reporting. 
I’m no naïf when it comes to the gayness of the church. I’ve lived in it as a gay man for all my adult life, and my eyes are open. And so the book did not surprise me, as such, but it still stunned, shocked, and disgusted me. You simply cannot unread it, or banish what is quite obviously true from your mind. It helps explain more deeply the rants of Pope Francis about so many of his cardinals, especially his denunciations of “Pharisees” and “hypocrites,” with their sexual amorality and their vast wealth and power. “Behind rigidity something always lies hidden; in many cases, a double life,” he has said. He has excoriated “hypocrites” who live “hidden and often dissolute lives,” those who “put makeup on their soul and live off makeup”; he has exclaimed in public that “hypocrisy does a lot of harm: it’s a way of life.” 
The only tiny consolation of the book is the knowledge that we now have a pope…who knows what he’s dealing with, and has acted, quite ruthlessly at times, to demote, defrock, or reassign the most egregious cases to places where they have close to nothing to do. And if you want to understand the ferocity of the opposition to him on the Catholic right, this is the key. His most determined opponents are far-right closet cases, living in palaces, leading completely double lives, backed by the most vicious of reactionaries and bigots on the European and American far right, and often smarting at their demotions…
       ...Gay men need to be embraced not as some manifestation of “intrinsic moral evil” but as human beings made in the image of God and capable of mutual love, care, and support. Gay priests with integrity need to be defended as strongly as the hypocrites need to be exposed and expelled. Francis is nudging the church toward this more humane and Christian future, but the more he does so, the more fervently this nest of self- haters and bigots will try to destroy him...
       ... It will also be fascinating to see how the various factions within Catholicism will respond to it. Some liberals — the Jesuit Jim Martin and Frank Bruni — fret that this book provides the far right with all the ammunition they need to wage a new war on homosexuality in the church. Martin is obviously embarrassed by what he calls “an ocean of gossip and innuendo,” although he doesn’t argue that anything in the book is untrue. But if the Catholic right wants to weaponize the book, they’ll have to take on their own icons, John Paul II and Benedict XVI, and a whole range of their closest allies in the church. And the core thesis of the book — which is that it is the hypocrisy of the closet that is the real problem — is not one the right will be able easily to absorb.
        My own view is that all that matters is the truth. “Be not afraid!” as John Paul II once said. “Of what should we not be afraid? We should not be afraid of the truth about ourselves.” Critically, Martel reaches the same conclusion I did recently — the omertà of the closet was a core reason for sex abuse. Gay priests felt unable to report pedophiles or abusers or hypocrites because they too could be outed by the abusers and forced out. There is no vast organized conspiracy. There is no “gay lobby.” There is a “honeycomb of closets,” often insulated from each other, built on deception and self-hatred, that amounts to a system where protecting the image of the church became far more important than saving children from rapists. There can be no meaningful reform until this closet is ended, and the whole sick, twisted syndrome is unwound...

It is important to repeat:

The problem with early childhood exposure and or experienced traumatic events is that the memories of such events can be sealed in the unconscious that continue to disrupt the adult-child victims lives - until if these repressed memories are able to be recovered and integrate in the person’s life. On continuum from mild to extreme this happens to everyone to some degree. It is just that in Benedict XVI's case the traumatic situation and events are historically unprecedented way over the top. We need to have some clear idea of the historic times that Benedict grew up in from birth until he was 18 years old. Ian Kershaw “is regarded by many as one of the world's leading experts on Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Kershaw).” Kershaw describes in great detail - the horrific atrocities instigated by Hitler and how we should see his place in history. Kershaw looks upon Hitler’s place in history as: 

Primarily, as the inspiration of the most lethal and destructive war in history, and of the most terrible genocide the 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…

AUSCHWITZ - CHRISTMAS 2008 
A flashback far more severe than in
BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN December 26, 2008 
Fr. Marty Kurylowicz


























…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…
AUSCHWITZ -- CHRISTMAS 2008 -- A flashback far more severe than in --- BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN – December 26, 2008 – 
Fr. Marty Kurylowicz
(posted below, original posting)


 From my studies and research on the Holocaust:

I have learned emphatically NOT to be self-righteously judgmental, because, first, it is near impossible to fully understand how pervasive and how extremely inhuman the atrocities committed by Hitler and Nazi regime were from 1933 to 1945 therefore, no one knows how they would react if they were put in the same situation. Being self-righteously judgmental - is destructive because it severely minimizes the magnitude of the complexity of this "most radical face of modern inhumanity – how an advanced society can undergo a breathtaking descent into modern barbarity that’s quite without precedent… (Kershaw)" and we learn very little, if anything, how to prevent this from happening again, by protecting very young defenseless children, globally. This is because we don't even try to understand the depths of the trauma that children like Benedict have experienced and how it has continued to disrupt their lives as adults. 

In Benedict’s case, his life-long harmful effects have been reenacted throughout his Vatican career of 32 years and seem to be solely focused on the topic of homosexuality, obsessively so. It is important to note that Benedict has no Nazi re-enactments against Jewish people.  

It is crucial to remember that Benedict is NOT a Nazi!!! However, unconsciously from endless traumatic events and situations that he had been exposed to throughout his early childhood years and until he reached the age of 18 years growing up in Nazi Germany, there are some identifiable reenactments that are seeds of Nazism e.g.  in his arbitrary sections of what sciences he considers essential and what sciences he considers not essential, in regards to his formulation of his document on homosexuality in particular his -1986 LETTER TO THE BISHOPS OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH ON THE PASTORAL CARE OF HOMOSEXUAL PERSONS. Benedict is nowhere close to the irrational thinking of Hitler and the Nazis, this fact is heavily documented throughout his life - except on the topic of homosexuality.  Benedict’s "regressive unilateral reductionism" of limiting the science on homosexuality to natural sciences - in essence he eliminated the empirical research of Evelyn Hooker's 1957 ''The Adjustment of the Male Overt Homosexual’' finding gay men who are openly accepting of their sexual orientation are mentally as healthy as heterosexual men. This decision of Benedict is the same kind of Nazi irrational thinking that formulated the pseudo-science that became the basis of the “Racial Policy Nazi Germany” that combined a Eugenics Program with Racial Hygiene that led to Compulsory Sterilization and Extermination of the Jewish people as the Untermenschen (“sub-humans”) that Culminated in the HOLOCAUST (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racial_policy_of_Nazi_Germany). Benedict’s 1986 regressive unilateral reductionism formulation of homosexuality has been culminating into a Holocaust of Structural Violence of children in their early childhood years that far surpasses the atrocities of Hitler’s and the Nazi regime’s Holocaust of the Jewish people and all the other peoples they arbitrarily consider to be “less than human.” And the silence and indifference like it was with the Jewish people 1933-1945 the same is true of the laity the past 30 years, though many have been courageous in trying to rectify these atrocities, but it is especially shockingly true of the RC hierarchy, though not all, however, the majority. That is until the Vatican’s Bishops Summit on Child Sexual Abuse this past February 2019…


BENEDICT’S CRACKDOWN

HUNTHAUSEN 1980s

 In 1981, Benedict XVI, as Ratzinger was named Cardinal-Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith by John Paul II. The Hunthausen Affair of the 1980s caught national public attention by the drastic actions taken against Seattle Archbishop Hunthausen by Benedict as the head of the CDF. Criticism by US prelates in particular by Weakland stated “forthrightly told the Vatican to…soften its drive to coerce doctrinal uniformity by punishing dissenters (http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1986-09-28/news/8603120562_1_archbishop-weakland-seattle-archbishop-raymond-hunthausen-seattle-archdiocese).” 

Weakland went on to state “that Draconian measures used throughout Christian history to silence those who challenge traditional church teaching have resulted in
“much cruelty, suppression of theological creativity and lack of growth.” It seemed strange that Weakland did not aim his criticisms directing at Ratzinger (Benedict XVI) but instead it seemed that he was identifying Ratzinger's entourage of not the brightest neophytes of the “Vatican inquisitors” who appeared to be acting independently from Ratzinger. Weakland indirectly described this group of the CDF staffers, their lack of qualifications, their off based purpose and the harm they caused to the Church by stating that these “amateurs-turned-theologians easily became headhunters and leaders were picked (on the basis of) the rigidity of their doctrine, so that often second-rate and repressive minds, riding on the waves of fear, took over.” The most recent evidence of these facts happen this last August 2018 by Vigano and his wealthy accomplices and news media networks - their global character assassination attempt to destroy Pope Francis's reputation by making  fragrant outlandish false accusations against him - in hopes to force Pope Francis to resign, again related to homosexuality. Pope Francis found that clericalism was the cause of the child sexual abuse cover-ups not homosexuality.  In essence Pope Francis was mending Benedict's Breach in his 1986 letter regarding homosexuality - by accepting the science on homosexuality that found there is no connection between the child sexual abuse cases and homosexuality. 
Archbishop Asks Rome To Ease Up
September 28, 1986
   MILWAUKEE — Rembert George Weakland long has been regarded by his peers as the brightest member of the hierarchy in the American Roman Catholic Church...has politely but forthrightly told the Vatican to, in effect, soften its drive to coerce doctrinal uniformity by punishing dissenters.
   He asserted that Draconian measures used throughout Christian history to silence those who challenge traditional church teaching have resulted in “much cruelty, suppression of theological creativity and lack of growth…”
   Bishop Thomas J. Gumbleton of Detroit predicted that the “cruel (and) demeaning” treatment of Archbishop Hunthausen would effectively “intimidate” his fellow prelates…  
   …in his columns, titled “The Price of Orthodoxy,” Archbishop Weakland appeared to be directing his remarks to Vatican inquisitors. 
   He contended that previous efforts to monitor and safeguard Catholic doctrine have been undertaken in an atmosphere where “amateurs-turned-theologians easily became headhunters and leaders were picked (on the basis of) the rigidity of their doctrine, so that often second-rate and repressive minds, riding on the waves of fear, took over.
   “Religion under such circumstances then can become an ideology that tolerates no obstacle and that values ideas more than people…”

Hunthausen also seeks a perspective shift when he asks his hearers to evaluate the “justice” of Church procedures according to the standards of civil law…

For the past several years, from both a historical and psychological perspective I have been researching the first 18 years of Benedict’s life growing up in Nazi Germany, trying to understand this seemingly unprecedented phenomenon, why the RC hierarchy has ignored and silenced anyone who openly discussed the science on homosexuality for over the past 30 years. I have previously completed graduate research on the Holocaust that involved a Jewish teenager riding the train to Auschwitz with his family, so I was already familiar with the history and the psychological background of Hitler and the Nazi Regime. I was traumatized, as diagnosed by my supervisor, in the process of doing this research on the Holocaust. I was so  overwhelmed by the overall unbelievable pervasive barbaric inhuman brutally involving thousands of willing participants to systemically exterminate millions of innocent people, adults and children of two countries and that no one was trying to stop it!!!     

Researching Benedict’s life began with cautiously viewing the history of the rise and fall of Hitler and the Nazi regime through the perspective of the developmental stages of Benedict from infancy through the first 18 years of his life.    It was alarming to say the least, unmasking such inhuman cruelty that few people considered the kind of psychological fallout from these horrific events that it would have on children who witnessed them and the lifelong harm it causes for them. It is a form of structural violence on children and in the case of Hitler and the Nazis it is an extreme of unprecedented form of structural violence. "The cruelties of structural violence on children are often subtle, unspoken, unrecognized, and even normalized, regarded by many people as natural or “just the way things are (https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/c249/81c402cee59648940f1cec01c5366a7165ac.pdf ).” The cruel effects of structural violence that children suffer "has long-lasting consequences on their intellectual, social, and emotional development." In Benedict's case his reenactments as an adult of the traumatic events of his early childhood years are so subtly, so normalized that they appear to be seamlessly interwoven in his personality that makes it nearly impossible to recognized, to separate and to identify the complexities of the multiple forms of the different kinds of traumatic events he experienced during his first 18 years growing up in Nazi Germany. 

 When Benedict gave his Christmas address 2008 regarding his likening the need to save the rainforests is as important as saving the world from homosexuality that I was able immediately recognized Benedict's reenactment. The only reason that this was possible, was because his words immediately trigged an emotional flashback to the trauma I experienced researching the Holocaust 5 years earlier 2003. If I had never experienced being traumatized doing the Holocaust research, I do not think that I would have been able to detect that he was traumatized as a child. Regardless how many people tried to explain away what Benedict stated it could not erase the underlining traumatized feelings. It is absolutely clear that Benedict is not a NAZI nor is he an evil demented person. He is an adult victim of unprecedented severe child abuse growing up the first 18 years of his life in Nazi Germany.  And why we are observing are re-enactments of those years that deeply suppressed. This is because these re-enactments are not consistent with his life as a whole, which makes it only unbelievably more sad.  After rereading his Christmas address this re-enactment was seamlessly stated without any hint of emotional malice that in itself was frightening. To me it sounded like some learned behavior of a child of a social accepted norm that was normalized that some people are just considered to be less than human. So through Benedict's re-enactments we are able observe from a different perspective again how unprecedented the horrific the social environment was in Nazi Germany.
POPE FRANCIS ARRIVAL
MARCH 13, 2013
OUT OF SYNC CURIA 
TURNED ON THE LIGHTS
IN SYNC WORLD  

 It was not until the arrival of Pope Francis that initiated my research of Benedict, because Pope Francis was so naturally  out of sync with organizational culture of the Vatican set for the past 30 years, though he was surprisingly completely in sync with the rest of the world. The very first information we heard about Pope Francis was his endless concern for the poor, and his regular visits walking through the slums of Buenos Aires, which endeared us all, because people generally feel deficient in some area of their lives. It was like we all found a more secure home, a chance to begin again. It was HOPE that Pope Francis brought to the Vatican. And Pope Francis accepted everyone, spoke to everyone, he was completely comfortable with everyone, including the press. 

 However, it seemed that every move Pope Francis made or thing he said caused such a tremendous rippling effect among to old guard of the curia prelates, especially his July 2013 statement “who am I to judge?”. It was the outspoken reactions against Pope Francis that began to identify who the “amateurs-turned-theologians” were who became the “headhunters and leaders were picked (on the basis of) the rigidity of their doctrine.” It explains how over time they were the “second-rate and repressive minds” who took over “riding on the waves of fear,” just as Weakland described in 1986 e.g. Burke, Muller, Chaput, Brandmüller, Vigano, etc., etc., etc. 
Hitler A Biography, By Ian Kershaw 2008       
"The Hitler biography of the twenty-first century" (Richard J. Evans), Ian Kershaw's Hitler is a new, distilled, one-volume masterpiece that will become the standard work. From Hitler's origins as a failed artist in fin-de-siecle Vienna to the terrifying last days in his Berlin bunker, Kershaw's richly illustrated biography is a mesmerizing portrait of how Hitler attained, exercised, and retained power. Drawing on previously untapped sources, such as Goebbels's diaries, Kershaw addresses crucial questions about the unique nature of Nazi radicalism, about the Holocaust, and about the poisoned European world that allowed Hitler to operate so effectively. Photo

EXPOSING
RC CURIAL 
BLUEPRINT
30 YEARS OF VIOLENCE
“amateurs-turned-theologians"
“CUMULATIVE RADICALIZATION”

 As Pope Francis began in great earnestness his non stop caring for all the least in the world while reforming the curia - the members of curia their every reaction, their every criticism, their indifference continued - it started dotting out a blueprint of their organized structure and culture and it took a lot of focus off from Benedict, who was receiving all the blame for the past 30 some previous years. Benedict 1981 likely in the beginning set the course by his reenactments against homosexuals that launched a anti-gay crusade, but it is clear that from that point on it took on a life of its own that was led independently the RC curial staffers with ever increasing radical efforts to silence the emerging science on homosexuality by removing those theologians, sisters, priests, even archbishops: who openly were discussing this science, who were supportive of gay people and like Hunthausen who open the Seattle's Cathedral of St. James to the Gay Catholic group Dignity and was supportive of gay people. It was reported that Benedict was often absence from the CDF office busy writing. This fits with Weakland's remarks made on September 28, 1986 that news reporter remarked that Weakland "appeared to be directing his remarks to Vatican inquisitors." This type of curial organizational culture as Weakland predicted in 1986 led to a fanatical doctrinal rigidity being enforced by “amateurs-turned-theologians" who became headhunters and leaders that eventually these "second-rate and repressive minds riding on the waves of fear, took over." And exactly as Weakland predicted came about “Religion under such circumstances then can become an ideology that tolerates no obstacle and that values ideas more than people… (http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1986-09-28/news/8603120562_1_archbishop-weakland-seattle-archbishop-raymond-hunthausen-seattle-archdiocese).” 

 This curial organizational culture was doom to implode and implode it did in 2013. This implosion was inevitable, because the curia was not built on TRUTH. The moment that Benedict in his 1986 letter on the "PASTORAL CARE OF HOMOSEXUAL PERSONS" made the perspective shift excluding the “human sciences” he eliminated the science of the research of Evelyn Hooker's 1957 ''The Adjustment of the Male Overt Homosexual’' that found that gay men who are openly accepting of their sexual orientation are mentally as healthy as heterosexual men. Benedict UNILATERALLY reduced the authoritative science on homosexuality - to fit his idea of homosexuality in "one particular set of strictly intraecclesial perspectives" in so doing he committed the BREACH that he warns us not to make that "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).”

 Benedict's perspective shift was made to maintain the suppression of the sexual orientation of homosexuality that realistically is impossible to do. Suppressing sexual feelings will continue arise and usually are acted out in disguised ways most often inappropriately.  And what was the cause of this Vatican's implosion that led to Benedict retiring February 2013 - Frederic Martel spells out the answer in his book “In the Closet of the Vatican: Power, Homosexuality, Hypocrisy” February 21, 2019. However, there has been an endless list of public Vatican CLOSETED GAY SEX scandals imploding for more than the past decade.
Hitler always favoured the most radical solution to any problem, 
it was German officials 
themselves who for the most part, in attempting to win the Führer's approval, carried out on their own initiative increasingly "radical" solutions to perceived problems like the "Jewish Question", as opposed to being ordered to do so by Hitler…

Benedict had imitated many aspects of the Nazi social environment that he grew up in regards to creating the same ‘cumulative radicalization’ phenomenon as Hitler.  Hitler was rarely involved in the day to day governing administration. He was absent for long periods of time. Kershaw links Hitler’s ‘charismatic authority’ with the concept ‘working towards the Führer’ that explains how Hitler’s an ideologue of unshakeable convictions - the most radical of the radicals as exponent of an internally coherent ‘world-view’, integrated with his notion of human history as the history of racial struggle formulated his utopian vision of national redemption. The Nazi social environment embodied Hitler’s utopian vision of national redemption through his rhetorical skills set in motion by the initiatives of others that led to ‘cumulative radicalization’ of the regime.  Promoting idea that these goals for Germany are actualized by making it the “duty of each person in the Third Reich ‘to work towards the Führer' along the lines he would wish’ without awaiting instruction from above.” It seems that this approach development with Benedict in his governing the CDF office among the curial staffers that they followed Benedict’s directives about purifying the Church by removing homosexuals “without awaiting instructions from him.” Like Burke's faux pas with the Knight of Malta 2016 disobeying Pope Francis's directives and then misusing his authority, Sarah did the same by overriding Pope Francis's liturgy document and Pope Francis immediately  publicly denounced Sarah's for acting in opposition. It seems that Benedict may have created the same ‘cumulative radicalization’ phenomenon among the curial staffers vying to win his approval - for higher positions in the hierarchy by using the most radical tactics to meet Benedict’s goals regarding homosexuality to impress him in the way they were silencing and removing those in the Church who were supportive of gay people e.g. Hurley is another one looking for approval. Such as employing outside accomplices to attack those supportive of gay people using character assassination tactics to destroy their reputations and credibility, as it was so well demonstrated by Vigano and all his accomplices this past August 2018 attacking Pope Francis because he found the root cause of the child sexual cover-ups was due to clericalism and NOT HOMOSEXUALITY. Once again people like Burke, Brandmüller, and Vigano exposed the blueprint of their ‘cumulative radicalization’ activity.

In a 1993 essay "Working Towards the Führer", Kershaw argued that the German and Soviet dictatorships had more differences than similarities. Kershaw argued that Hitler was a very unbureaucratic leader who was highly averse to paper work in marked contrast to Stalin. Likewise, Kershaw argued that Stalin was highly involved in the running of the Soviet Union in contrast to Hitler whose involvement in day-to-day decision making was limited, infrequent and capricious. Kershaw argued that the Soviet regime, despite all of its extreme brutality and utter ruthlessness, was basically rational in its goal of seeking to modernise a backward country and had no equivalent of the "cumulative radicalization" towards increasingly irrational goals that Kershaw sees as characteristic of Nazi Germany. In Kershaw's opinion, Stalin's power corresponded to Weber's category of bureaucratic authority, whereas Hitler's power corresponded to Weber's category of charismatic authority. In Kershaw's view, what happened in Germany after 1933 was the imposition of Hitler's charismatic authority on top of the "legal-rational" authority system that had existed prior to 1933, leading to a gradual breakdown of any system of ordered authority in Germany. Kershaw argues that by 1938 the German state had been reduced to a hopeless, polycratic shambles of rival agencies all competing with each other to win Hitler's favour, which by that time had become the only source of political legitimacy. Kershaw sees this rivalry as causing the "cumulative radicalization" of Germany, and argues that though Hitler always favoured the most radical solution to any problem, it was German officials themselves who for the most part, in attempting to win the Führer's approval, carried out on their own initiative increasingly "radical" solutions to perceived problems like the "Jewish Question", as opposed to being ordered to do so by Hitler… Read more:


Hitler: A Biography 
by Ian Kershaw 2008
this concept of ‘charismatic authority’ …helps in evaluating the relationship between Hitler and the mass following that shaped his rise…the image of ‘heroic’ leadership attached to Hitler, exploiting pre-existing pseudo-religious expectations of national salvation, was in good measure a manufactured propaganda product. And I also found it invaluable in examining the way Hitler’s highly personalized rule eroded systematic government and administration and was incompatible with it… 
…I linked ‘charismatic authority’ to another concept as a way of showing how Hitler’s highly personalized form of rule functioned. This, as referred to in the text and operating as a kind of leitmotiv throughout the biography, was the notion of ‘working towards the Führer’, which I tried to use to show how Hitler’s presumed aims served to prompt, activate or legitimate initiatives at different levels of the regime, driving on, consciously or unwittingly, the destructive dynamic of Nazi rule. I did not mean, with this notion, to suggest that people at all times asked themselves what Hitler wanted then tried to put it into practice. Some, of course, especially among the party faithful, did more or less just that. But many others – say in boycotting a Jewish shop to protect a rival business, or denouncing a neighbour to the police on account of some personal grievance – were not asking themselves what the Führer’s intentions might be, or operating from ideological motivation. They were, nevertheless, in minor ways, helping to sustain and promote ideological goals represented by Hitler and thereby indirectly promoting the process of radicalization by which those goals – in this case, ‘racial cleansing’ of German society – gradually came more sharply into view as realizable short-term aims rather than distant objectives. 
…All-consuming though power was for Hitler, it was not a matter of power for its own sake, devoid of content or meaning. Hitler was not just a propagandist, a manipulator, a mobilizer. He was all those. But he was also an ideologue of unshakeable convictions – the most radical of the radicals as exponent of an internally coherent (however repellent to us) ‘world-view’, acquiring its thrust and potency from its combination of a very few basic ideas – integrated by the notion of human history as the history of racial struggle. His ‘world-view’ gave him a rounded explanation of the ills of Germany and of the world, and how to remedy them. He held to his ‘world-view’ unwaveringly from the early 1920s down to his death in the bunker. It amounted to a utopian vision of national redemption, not a set of middle-range policies. But it was not only capable of incorporating within it all the different strands of Nazi philosophy; combined with Hitler’s rhetorical skills, it also meant that he soon became practically unchallengeable on any point of party doctrine. 
Hitler’s ideological goals, his actions, and his personal input into the shaping of events need, then, to be accorded the most serious attention. But they explain far from everything. What Hitler did not do, did not instigate, but which was nevertheless set in train by the initiatives of others is as vital as the actions of the Dictator himself in understanding the fateful ‘cumulative radicalization’ of the regime. 
An approach which looks to the expectations and motivations of German society (in all its complexity) more than to Hitler’s personality in explaining the Dictator’s immense impact offers the potential to explore the expansion of his power through the internal dynamics of the regime he headed and the forces he unleashed. The approach is encapsulated in the maxim enunciated by a Nazi functionary in 1934 – providing in a sense a leitmotiv for the work as a whole – that it was the duty of each person in the Third Reich ‘to work towards the Führer along the lines he would wish’ without awaiting instruction from above. This maxim, put into practice, was one of the driving-forces of the Third Reich, translating Hitler’s loosely framed ideological goals into reality through initiatives focused on working towards the fulfilment of the Dictator’s visionary aims. Hitler’s authority was, of course, decisive. But the initiatives which he sanctioned derived more often than not from others…

“...50 Shades of Gay, Is Beyond Comprehension...” 

 This RC curial blueprint is the “CUMULATIVE RADICALIZATION” of 30 YEARS OF ANTI-GAY VIOLENCE led by the “amateurs-turned-theologians." This is the organizational culture that Pope Francis walked into March 13, 2013. Prior to Pope Francis's arrival these closeted gay “amateurs-turned-theologians" "second-rate and repressive minds riding on the waves of fear" that took over were able to operate their ruthless clandestine tactics shielded behind a thick wall of the Vatican's "bureaucratic anonymity" (Conflict in the Catholic Hierarchy: Pdf http://dspace.library.uu.nl/bitstream/handle/1874/601/full.pdf). It is because Pope Francis was so out of sync with the Vatican's closeted gays - that their anti-gay “CUMULATIVE RADICALIZATION” had leaks of public emotional outbursts e.g. Burke, Chaput, Brandmüller, Cordileone, Sarah, etc., etc., etc., objecting to Pope Francis curial reforms and especially his treating gay people with respect and kindness. The Vatican's closeted gays - appeared not to realize that they were no longer protected behind the Vatican's shield of "bureaucratic anonymity." This was first evident at the release of the midterm report of the 2014 October synod session on Family that revealed that an open discussion on how to be more pastorally welcoming to gay people, including discussions on valuing lifelong committed gay relationships - especially with Burke's continuous emotional negative outbursts condemning this open gay discussion. For as powerful hysterical Burke's tirade was he offered absolutely not a single piece of substantiated evidence to support his outrage.    

 Members of the RC curial hierarchy continually kept publicly exposing their ineptitude for the offices they held, their lack of academic knowledge, their emotional irrational mentality that it was clear that though Benedict initiate this anti-gay crusade he was not the sole orchestrator of all that went on in the Vatican.  

This is how Pope Francis's arrival was the reason why and when I began researching Benedict’s life growing up in Nazi Germany. I was doing all of this in order to try an understand: how they all could ignore the science on homosexuality for the past 60 years and the severe violence they employed to maintain the suppression of this science, because very young defenseless children are continually being harmed for life - caused by the influence of the unsubstantiated Vatican’s teachings on homosexuality. It is the Holocaust of structural violence of these children and like with the Nazis at the end of the WWII when the Holocaust of the Jewish people and many others was revealed and the trials began - the same seems sure to happen to these “amateurs-turned-theologians,” like Burke and all his accomplices. It was at this past February Summit of bishops - on the child sexual abuse that for the very first time in 62 years the silence on the science on homosexuality was broken and not in a wimpish manner but forthrightly. Maltese Archbishop Charles Scicluna expressed what had been absence for decades at the Vatican - such intelligence, university quality, with such competency and  surprisingly real empathy, “To generalize, to look at a whole category of people is never legitimate. We have individual cases. We don’t have categories of people (https://www.americamagazine.org/faith/2019/02/24/despite-external-pressure-little-talk-homosexuality-vatican-abuse-summit).” Scicluna was not alone, there were others who spoke just as emphatically and empathically about the science on homosexuality that the topic of homosexuality was irrelevant at this summit meeting. Together they were not only building a safer world for child from being sexuality abused, but by acknowledging the science on homosexuality - they are beginning to protect children who are growing up gay. It is a beginning search for truth that brings love back online in the Vatican and to the world, even if it was only momentarily, it was a start!!! Pope Francis since his election has been protecting gay children, but he seemed to be basically alone, however, not this February 2019. These bishops created a sense of hope and another contrast that revealed more light into the past trying to understand what happened - how for the past some 30 years there was absolute silence on the science on homosexuality.

THE BIG
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN

GAYS who are OUT
MENTALLY HEALTHY
AS
STRAIGHTS 
& 
GAYS who are CLOSETED

In Frederic Martel’s new book, “In the Closet of the Vatican: Power, Homosexuality, Hypocrisy” makes the statement that the “...50 Shades of Gay, Is Beyond Comprehension…” Is a true statement that like it or not it is similar to Scicluna’s “To generalize, to look at a whole category of people is never legitimate. We have individual cases. We don’t have categories of people.” Martel is writing about individual cases. The distinction that needs to be made is that the “50 Shade of gay” found in the Vatican and all their acting out behaviors is classified as “closeted gays” that is not the same the way it is for gay people who are OUT and who accepting of and comfortable with their gay sexual orientation. This is what the empirical research of Evelyn Hooker's 1957 ''The Adjustment of the Male Overt Homosexual’' is all about. She found that gay men who are openly accepting of their sexual orientation are mentally as healthy as heterosexual men. It is the “closeted” gay people, most especially those in the Vatican - who have the mental disorders and physical problems. What gives Martel’s book real credence is the 62 years of absolute silence on the science on homosexuality by the Vatican's inmates is the fact that there is not one kind of closeted gay person. No one can suppressed any emotion, especially sexual emotions! Read a book and learn this!!! The emotion that a person is trying to suppress will only continue to bubble up to the surface of one's unconscious mind trying to break through to the conscious mind of the person and that is what creates tremendous anxiety that continues to keep it suppressed. This process absorbs a tremendous amount of psychic energy.  It is this type of sexual suppression that leads to people to act out in disguised ways - releasing the emotion, usually in ways that are inappropriate. Sexual feelings are among the strongest. This is how psychologists make a lot of money. People I see for psychotherapy will often say to me "You must think that I am crazy." And I always respond, as I do believe many other psychologists respond that crazy people never seek out psychotherapy, and I usually add just take a look at the Vatican. Vatican in the 1990s, specifically June 1997, regarded psychology to be irrelevant and not what was needed in the Church - they forcefully stated that what the Church needed is more Canon Lawyers and Liturgists. Oh, yes, this is NUTS!!! But, it describes the long established curia perfectly. Even by the late 1990s their closeted gay acting out behaviors were already beginning to implode, by both excessively condemning homosexuality and increasing  sexually acting out. There are no openly gay clerics in the curia - only closeted gays with “Deep-Seated Homosexual Tendencies” that they continuously deny and keep suppressed all the while projecting their “Deep-Seated Homosexual Tendencies” outward onto others. Oh, yes this is NUTS!!!

 These are the windows that I believe Pope John XXIII wanted to throw open so people can see in and they can see out. Only healthy people recognize when something is not quite right and they have the courage to work to fix it or make it better.

The Compulsion to Repeat the Trauma - Re-enactment, Revictimization, and Masochism 
Bessel A. van der Kolk, MD
          During the formative years of contemporary psychiatry much attention was paid to the continuing role of past traumatic experiences on the current lives of people. Charcot, Janet, and Freud all noted that fragmented memories of traumatic events dominated the mental life of many of their patient…Janet thought that traumatic memories of traumatic events persist as unassimilated fixed ideas that act as foci for the development of alternate states of consciousness, including dissociative phenomena, such as fugue states, amnesias, and chronic states of helplessness and depression. Unbidden memories of the trauma may return as physical sensations, horrific images or nightmares, behavioral reenactments, or a combination of these. Janet showed how traumatized individuals become fixated on the trauma: difficulties in assimilating subsequent experiences as well. It is "as if their personality development has stopped at a certain point and cannot expand anymore by the addition or assimilation of new elements.” …The trauma permanently disturbed the capacity to deal with other challenges, and the victim who did not integrate the trauma was doomed to "repeat the repressed material as a contemporary experience in instead or . . . remembering it as something belonging to the past.” In this article, I will show how the trauma is repeated on behavioral, emotional, physiologic, and neuroendocrinologic levels, whose confluence explains the diversity of repetition phenomena. 
       Many traumatized people expose themselves, seemingly compulsively, to situations reminiscent of the original trauma. These behavioral reenactments are rarely consciously understood to be related to earlier life experiences…
Trauma can be repeated on behavioral, emotional, physiologic, and neuroendocriniologic levels. Repetition on these different levels causes a large variety of individual and social suffering. Anger directed against the self or others is always a central problem in the lives of people who have been violated and this is itself a repetitive re-enactment of real events from the past…
People who have been exposed to highly stressful stimuli develop long-term potentiation of memory tracts that are reactivated at times of subsequent arousal. This activation explains how current stress is experienced as a return of the trauma; it causes a return to earlier behavior patterns. Ordinarily, people will choose the most pleasant of two alternatives. High arousal causes people to engage in familiar behavior, regardless of the rewards. As novel stimuli are anxiety provoking, under stress, previously traumatized people tend return to familiar patterns, even if they cause pain…
        Childhood abuse and neglect enhance long-term hyperarousal and decreased modulation of strong affect states…Victimized people may neutralize their hyperarousal by a variety of addictive behaviors, including compulsive re-exposure to victimization of self and others. Gaining control over one's current life, rather than repeating trauma in action, mood, or somatic states, is the goal of treatment. The only reason to uncover traumatic material is to gain conscious control over unbidden re-experiences or re- enactments. The presence of strong attachments provides people with the security necessary to explore their life experiences and to interrupt the inner or social isolation that keeps them stuck in repetitive patterns. In contrast with victimized children, adults can learn to protect themselves and make conscious choices about not engaging in relationships or behaviors that are harmful... Read more: http://www.cirp.org/library/psych/vanderkolk/

Hitler and the Nazi regime have succeeded in invading the Vatican to destroy the Church - through the traumatizing memories of a terrorized child who in his early childhood years growing up in Nazi Germany and was taught the formation of the pseudoscience of nazism of racial superiority as stated in the LETTER TO THE BISHOPS OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH ON THE PASTORAL CARE OF HOMOSEXUAL PERSONS 1986. No one has the right to pick and choose which sciences that will be considered and which sciences will not be consider to find TRUTH. From that point on they are no longer on the journey to find TRUTH and like Hitler and the Nazi regime have emptied the meaning of LOVE. They HAVE fallen victim to arbitrary twisting the meaning of LOVE around to the point that it comes to mean the opposite.

JOSEPH CARDINAL RATZINGER 
Prefect
…As in every moral disorder, homosexual activity prevents one's own fulfillment and happiness by acting contrary to the creative wisdom of God. The Church, in rejecting erroneous opinions regarding homosexuality, does not limit but rather defends personal freedom and dignity realistically and authentically understood…

The above is a subjective statement made by Cardinal Ratzinger (Benedict XVI) in 1986 that is not based on the complete science on homosexuality. It is alarmingly not TRUTH. From authoritative accepted science on homosexuality from both the medical and mental health fields of studies - it is noted that the forced suppression of a child’s homosexual sexual orientation jeopardizes the child’s safety and well-being - causing depression and suicidal ideation significantly limiting the child’s fulfillment and happiness even the child's life. Benedict has managed to commit (most likely unconsciously) THE BREACH in the dialogue between science and religion - what he severely warns against in Caritas in veritate - twisting the meaning of love around to come to mean the opposite: 

…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…
“…we must overcome every regressive
tendency to a unilateral
reductionism, 
to fear, and to

self-imposed isolation… 
...Science can purify religion from error and superstition; 
religion can purify science from idolatry and false absolutes. Each can draw the other into a wider world, a world in which both can flourish.

TO REVEREND GEORGE V. COYNE, S.J.
DIRECTOR OF THE VATICAN OBSERVATORY 
1June, 1988 

The letter of Pope John Paul II to Rev. George Coyne dated 1988 two years  after Benedict’s LETTER TO THE BISHOPS OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH ON THE PASTORAL CARE OF HOMOSEXUAL PERSONS 1986. John Paul addresses and corrects the specific Breach made by Benedict of his “regressive tendency to a unilateral reductionism, to fear, and to self-imposed isolation.”

Benedict at the very beginning of his letter states:
“1. The issue of homosexuality and the moral evaluation of homosexual acts have increasingly become a matter of public debate, even in Catholic circles.” 

Benedict acknowledges his fears of these public debates: 
“often advances arguments and makes assertions inconsistent with the teaching of the Catholic Church.” 

Benedict then out of exaggerated fear (PTSD?) he regressivelyoverreacts  by asserting a self-imposed isolation of the whole church from any open debate on this issue:  
“…is quite rightly a cause for concern to all engaged in the pastoral ministry, and this Congregation has judged it to be of sufficiently grave and widespread importance to address” which for him is to globally address a letter to all the bishops of the Catholic Church."

Even though Benedict admits the complexities of homosexuality - he nonetheless gives into a unilateral reductionism, by minimizing the complexities of homosexuality to justify his arbitrary understanding of homosexuality:
 “2. Naturally, an exhaustive treatment of this complex issue cannot be attempted here…but we will focus our reflection within the distinctive context of the Catholic moral perspective. It is a perspective which finds support in the more secure findings of the natural sciences, which have their own legitimate and proper methodology and field of inquiry.” 
“…we must overcome every regressive tendency to a unilateral reductionism, to fear, and to self-imposed isolation… 
...Science can purify religion from error and superstition; 
religion can purify science from idolatry and false absolutes. Each can draw the other into a wider world, a world in which both can flourish.”

IMPEDIMENTS

Development of Human Sexuality 

Pope Francis wants psychological testing to prevent problem priests. But can it really do that?
March 21, 2019
As the Catholic Church quakes through one sexual abuse scandal after another, Pope Francis recently announced a policy he wants to implement on a worldwide scale: No man should become a priest without a psychological evaluation proving he is suited to a life of chastity.
In the United States, most men seeking to enter a Catholic seminary undergo psychological testing, often a battery of questions that probes their deepest secrets and can last for days.
As Francis elevates the visibility of this type of testing, it raises the question of just how this profiling works and whether any psychologist can truly determine a young man is cut out for a lifelong vow to abstain from sex or is likely to commit sexual crimes. As it stands, there is no single agreed-upon method for conducting these assessments of priests. There is also no reliable way of measuring the tests' effectiveness at weeding out problem priests.
"Standard psychological testing, it's not very good in ferreting out sexual difficulties among the general population," said Monsignor Stephen Rossetti, a Catholic University professor who formerly led St. Luke Institute, a mental health facility for priests. "There isn't much. We've been working hard to figure out what to do, how do we better understand sexuality.”…

When such news headlines come out about Pope Francis and gay people, gay priests - it is good to search out the specific document where Pope Francis made the statement, however, in this case such a document has yet to be found. Regardless, from the very beginning of his papacy March 2013 he has already long established himself as not an enemy of gay people. In fact, the bishops summit on child abuse this February 2019 did not even considered homosexuality as a root cause. This is because as the bishops reported that the science on the issue is clear that homosexuality is not a cause. The root cause is clericalism. This article does mention that psychological testing has been a norm for more than the past four decades. It would make more sense if the psychological testing is to weed out the irrational obsessive antigay ideologues e.g. Burke, Brandmüller, Muller, Chaput, Vigano, etc., etc., etc., who are problem priests and have caused great harm to millions of people by their ruthless suppression of the science on homosexuality - attacking clerics, religious, RC prelates who were openly supported of gay people, especially during the height of the AIDS crisis in the US -1980s, not unlike the attacks they made on Pope Francis, e.g. Vigano's August 2018.  
The Last Judgment
The Sheep & the Goats
“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left…
…“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’
“They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’
“He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’
“Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

HOMOSEXUALITY 
is a GIFT from 
GOD!
NOTHING LESS WILL BE
TRUE!!!
The flashing neon sign of the Vatican’s ongoing abuse of very young defenseless children growing up in the early childhood years, globally is found in their unsubstantiated teachings regarding homosexuality. These teachings are the BREACH in the dialogue between science and religion, because they are NOT based on the science on homosexuality. The immediate course correction in this matter is announcing nothing less than “Homosexuality is a Gift from GOD!” Do the science and religion on homosexuality or do time in jail and pick your place out among the goats. But “Who am I to judge?


DEVELOPMENTAL 
GOAL of ADOLESCENCE
IS
UNDERSTANDING &
ACCEPTANCE of ONE'S 
SEXUALITY 


The goal of the adolescence stage of development involves a multitude of changes - “changes that occur during this period are sweeping, spanning biological, physical, psychological and behavioral domains of functioning. The breadth of these changes makes the period somewhat risky, given that problems in one domain may spill over and influence functioning in other domains (https://www.apa.org/pi/families/resources/newsletter/2014/12/adolescence-developmen).” The major task of adolescence is the development of human sexuality. “Human sexuality is much more complex than the biological forces that initiate the sexual maturation process. As such, the development of adolescent sexuality includes not only physical development but also cognitive, emotional, social, and moral development…(https://www.mentalhelp.net/articles/the-development-of-adolescent-sexuality/).” The developmental process of adolescence of all the components is an ongoing movement forward to becoming a fully functioning adult. The developmental process of human sexuality is NOT a separated component - it is an inseparable interrelated component of human development. “Becoming a sexually healthy adult is a developmental task of adolescence that requires integrating psychological, physical, cultural, spiritual, societal, and educational factors. It is particularly important to understand the adolescent in terms of his or her physical, emotional, and cognitive stage…(https://pedsinreview.aappublications.org/content/34/1/29).” 

What is KEY during the developmental process of adolescence, is that the teenager becomes knowledgeable in understanding the interrelated components of his/her sexuality, attaining a level of a comfortable ACCEPTANCE of his/her sexual identity and sexual orientation. Reaching this developmental goal of human sexuality in adolescence is a level of sexual maturity of adulthood. Sexually mature adults are able modulate and incorporate their sexual desires and emotions in their movement forward in life perfecting his/her talents, skills building a fulfilling life together with others.

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… Read more: http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0040256

…When an internal impulse provokes too much anxiety, the ego may reduce that anxiety by attributing the unwanted impulse to an external object, usually another person.  This is the defense mechanism of projection, which can be defined as seeing in others unacceptable feelings or tendencies that actually reside in one’s own unconscious (Freud, 1915/1957b)…
…An extreme type of projection is paranoia, a mental disorder characterized by powerful delusions of jealousy and persecution. Paranoia is not an inevitable outcome of projection but simply a severe variety of it. According to Freud (1922/1955), a crucial distinction between projection and paranoia is that paranoia is always characterized by repressed homosexual feelings toward the persecutor. Freud believed that the persecutoris inevitably a former friend [or sibling] of the same sex…When homosexual impulses become too powerful, persecuted paranoiacs defend themselves by reversing these feelings and the projecting them onto their original object [a former friend or sibling of the same sex]. For men, the transformation proceeds as follows. Instead of saying, “I love him,” the paranoid person says, “I hate him.” Because this also produces too much anxiety, he says, “He hates me.” At this point, the person has disclaimed all responsibility and can say, “I like him fine, but he’s got it in for me.” The central mechanism in all paranoia is projection with accompanying delusions of jealousy and persecution…

Theories of Personality
Jess Feist and Gregory J Feist


The failure of the developmental task of adolescence is the inability of understand and accept one’s sexuality. This becomes a developmental block not just with sexuality but effecting all the interrelated components of human sexuality. The suppression of a person’s sexuality will cause continual disruption (in varying degrees of severity ) not only for that person, but for all others that person is involved with throughout a lifetime. This person NEVER reaches a level of adult maturity, unless this person completes the developmental task of adolescence - understanding and accepting his/her sexuality. This most definitely is the case with the majority of the members of the Roman Catholic curia and hierarchy - they have NOT reached a level of adult maturity. This fact is proven not only by their complete ignorance of the science on homosexuality  BUT also by their emotionally fierce refusal to openly discuss the science on homosexuality. They have not come to accepting their homosexual sexual orientation -  that is - as a GIFT FROM GOD!!! These facts have been fully and glaringly demonstrated, though not limited to: by their emotionally negative outbursts AGAINST the open discussions of welcoming and accepting gay people - at both synod sessions on family 2014 and 2015, including the youth synod sessions held in May and October 2018 and their rejection of the summary of the bishops summit on child abuse February 2019 declaring clericalism as the root cause of the crisis and NOT homosexuality - because science has proven that there is NO connection between homosexuality and pedophilia e.g. Vigano, Muller, Burke, Chaput, etc., and their supporting news media websites, including their wealthy accomplices.       

The Vatican’s unsubstantiated teachings on homosexuality are the major blockage to a child’s developmental task of human sexuality. The Vatican’s unsubstantiated teachings on homosexuality are a PSYCHIATRIC VIOLENCE RISK lethally threatening the safety and well-being of children growing up gay (https://www.psychiatry.org/file%20library/about-apa/organization-documents-policies/policies/position-2000-therapies-change-sexual-orientation.pdf). The Vatican’s unsubstantiated teachings on homosexuality are the same as the “Psychotherapeutic modalities to convert or ‘repair’ homosexuality are based on developmental theories whose scientific validity is questionable. Furthermore, anecdotal reports of ‘cures’ are counterbalanced by anecdotal claims of psychological harm (https://www.psychiatry.org/file%20library/about-apa/organization-documents-policies/policies/position-2000-therapies-change-sexual-orientation.pdf).” The “American Psychiatric Association ‘Homosexuality as a Mental Disorder Simply Not Backed Up by Science’(https://www.psychiatry.org/news-room/apa-blogs/apa-blog/2016/03/homosexuality-as-a-mental-disorder-simply-not-backed-up-by-science).” The statement made by the American Psychological Association on “Science on Homosexuality” is clear from their - “Research Summary: The longstanding consensus of the behavioral and social sciences and the health and mental health professions is that homosexuality per se is a normal and positive variation of human sexual orientation…(http://www.apa.org/about/policy/sexual-orientation.aspx).”

FAILURE

Internalized Homophobia  
Prejudice, Social Stress, and Mental Health in Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Populations: Conceptual Issues and Research Evidence - Psychol Bull. 2003 September ; 129(5): 674–697. - Ilan H. Meyer - Columbia University
Internalized Homophobia
    —In the most proximal position along the continuum from the environment to the self, internalized homophobia represents a form of stress that is internal and insidious. In the absence of overt negative events, and even if one’s minority status is successfully concealed, lesbians and gay men may be harmed by directing negative social values toward the self. Thoits (1985, p. 222) described such a process of self-stigmatization, explaining that “role-taking abilities enable individuals to view themselves from the imagined perspective of others. One can anticipate and respond in advance to others’ reactions regarding a contemplated course of action.” 
    Clinicians use the term internalized homophobia to refer to the internalization of societal antigay attitudes in lesbians and gay men (e.g., Malyon, 1981–1982). Meyer and Dean (1998) defined internalized homophobia as “the gay person’s direction of negative social attitudes toward the self, leading to a devaluation of the self and resultant internal conflicts and poor self-regard” (p. 161). After they accept their stigmatized sexual orientation, LGB people begin a process of coming out. Optimally, through this process they come to terms with their homosexuality and develop a healthy identity that incorporates their sexuality (Cass, 1979, 1984;Coleman, 1981–1982;Troiden, 1989). Internalized homophobia signifies the failure of the coming out process to ward off stigma and thoroughly overcome negative self-perceptions and attitudes (Morris et al., 2001). Although it is most acute early in the coming out process, it is unlikely that internalized homophobia completely abates even when the person has accepted his or her homosexuality. Because of the strength of early socialization experiences, and because of continued exposure to antigay attitudes, internalized homophobia remains an important factor in the gay person’s psychological adjustment throughout life. Gay people maintain varying degrees of residual antigay attitudes that are integrated into their self- perception that can lead to mental health problems (Cabaj, 1988;Hetrick & Martin, 1984;Malyon, 1981–1982;Nungesser, 1983). Gonsiorek (1988) called such residual internalized homophobia “covert,” and said, “Covert forms of internalized homophobia are the most common. Affected individuals appear to accept themselves, yet sabotage their own efforts in a variety of ways” (p. 117)… Read more: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2072932/pdf/nihms32623.pdf

Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.
Matthew 12:32

How can the REPRESSED CLOSETED HOMOSEXUAL PRELATES & STAFF of the “Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF)” WHO have ABSOLUTELY NO COMPETENCY in FULLY UNDERSTANDING the SCIENCE on HOMOSEXUALITY, or in thoroughly COMPREHENDING HOW and WHY there is NO CONNECTION between HOMOSEXUALITY and PEDOPHILIA, which also PRECLUDES their same lack of COMPETENCY in FULLY UNDERSTANDING HUMAN SEXUALITY (meaning that NO ONE in the CDF office or even in the curia OR the hierarchy - could PASS a 3 HOUR GRADUATE LEVEL EXAM on HUMAN SEXUALITY and most likely not even a COLLEGE level exam on human sexuality) therefore, HOW can this group with absolutely no substantiating knowledge on the science on homosexuality, who are only filled with not only their own unsubstantiated personal homophobia of antigay societal prejudices “expressed through a belief system that regards  gays and lesbians as "spiritually immoral, infected pariahs, disgusting [and] generally inferior to heterosexuals (Sussal C M - Blumenfeld, 1992)“ but also with the very well known dominating institutional homophobia pervasive throughout the majority of the members of the curia and hierarchy - though not all, HOW can this group MAKE ANY OBJECTIVE JUDGMENT regarding the gay sexuality of any priest or anyone. The “Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF)” is heinously flawed - it is the BREACH - that “comes only at an enormous price to human development…” What they (CDF) do not realize is that without the balance of scientific substantiating evidence on homosexuality their unidentified forms of homophobia runs rampant. They are not aware of the researched fact that “projection was the major psychological defense used in homophobia. Rejected, unacceptable urges are projected onto gay men and lesbians without recognizing that the urges are one's own (Sussal C M - Herek (1985)).”  WHO ARE THEY KIDDING??? 
…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


The Vatican’s unsubstantiated teachings on homosexuality also brings into serious question the priestly vows of celibacy. It seems it is a question of full knowledge and full freedom. Many priests make this vow in various mental states of dissociation from their gay sexual orientation and or believing that to be in a gay relationship is evil!!!

Whether gay, straight or bisexual, a person to make the vow of celibacy needs to know that a relationship in anyone of these sexual orientations is a gift from GOD!!! Otherwise, the person is making the vow of celibacy under false pretenses - how valid is that person's vow!!! Building a religious life on a lie???

The Vatican’s unsubstantiated teachings on homosexuality are also responsible for the adolescence sexual confusion, dissociation and unintended inappropriate acting out behavior!!!  

The Vatican’s unsubstantiated teachings on homosexuality are also responsible for numerous mental disorders and sexual addiction behaviors.

Adolescence: A unique period of challenge and opportunity for positive development 
American Psychological Association - December 2014
The teen years offer a chance to alter children's trajectory toward more positive long-term outcomes.
The transition from being a child, dependent upon one’s parents, to an independent and self-reliant adult, that is, the adolescent transition, represents one of the most dynamic, broad and influential periods of human development. The changes that occur during this period are sweeping, spanning biological, physical, psychological and behavioral domains of functioning. The breadth of these changes makes the period somewhat risky, given that problems in one domain may spill over and influence functioning in other domains. At the same time though, the transition may also represent an ideal time for interventions, largely for the same reason. Small alterations in one domain could have large, cascading and potentially long-term effects across other domains… Read more:



The Development Of Adolescent Sexuality
Human sexuality is much more complex than the biological forces that initiate the sexual maturation process. As such, the development of adolescent sexuality includes not only physical development but also cognitive, emotional, social, and moral development…
This portion of the article will describe the average, natural evolution of adolescent sexuality: their sexual thoughts and questions; their sexual feelings and concerns; and their sexual behavior and choices. Some youth may choose to remain entirely abstinent from sexual activity due to their personal values and beliefs; even so, they will still experience similar thoughts, feelings, and desires, as their sexually active peers. Parents are cautioned to remember that every youth is unique. Children may reach these developmental milestones at ages that are different from averages listed here and still be considered “normal.”..,

Adolescent Sexuality
Trisha Tulloch, Miriam Kaufman
Pediatrics in Review
January 2013, VOLUME 34 / ISSUE 1
Adolescence is a transitional stage of physical, emotional, and cognitive human development occurring before the onset of puberty and ending by adulthood. Sexuality, the expression of interest, orientation, and preference, is a normal part of adolescence. Adolescent sexuality encompasses multiple factors, such as developing intimate partnerships, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, and culture…
Early Adolescence
Earlier onset of puberty leads us to question whether adolescence starts with puberty, because the other aspects of adolescence often are not present before the age of 10 years. In general, the early adolescent experiences physical changes, attempts to adjust to the changes, and often wonders if they are normal. Children at this stage are self-preoccupied and concerned about body image and privacy. These privacy concerns evolve into some separation from family and an increased focus on relationships with peers and group activities… 
Although early adolescents may begin to experiment with their sexuality (particularly with sexual fantasy and masturbation), sexual intercourse is not common. Homosexual and heterosexual experimentation is common in early adolescence. If an adolescent has had sex with someone of the same sex, this experience does not mean that the teen is gay. It is important to note that many gay teens have never had a sexual experience with someone of the same sex, and that “teens who will eventually identify as gay, lesbian or bisexual do not always do so during adolescence.”(6)…
Middle Adolescence 
This stage is marked by the full establishment of secondary sexual characteristics and growth deceleration. Feelings of omnipotence and invincibility peak (although this can also be a time of increased sense of vulnerability)…Abstract thinking and other executive functions continue to develop but still are not fully formed. 
During this stage, teens are moving toward forming a sexual orientation and identity. They become increasingly concerned with whether they are attractive and place more importance on their peer group. Many adolescents in this stage may “fall in love” for the first time. Sexual experimentation is common, and many will have intercourse during middle adolescence. 
Late Adolescence
It can be argued that late adolescence continues through the postsecondary education period. Brain development, particularly of the prefrontal cortex, can continue until age 22 years in female subjects and 25 years in male subjects. (8) Late adolescents tend to focus on autonomy and thinking beyond themselves. Most teens during this stage are able to think abstractly; they are future oriented and more insightful. They are secure with their body image and gender role; sexual orientation also is nearly secured. Teens in late adolescence work on transitioning to adult roles in relationships, school, and work. However, they may still act impulsively. (5) Becoming a sexually healthy adult is a developmental task of adolescence that requires integrating psychological, physical, cultural, spiritual, societal, and educational factors. It is particularly important to understand the adolescent in terms of his or her physical, emotional, and cognitive stage…

Gay 'Conversion Therapy' Often Begins at Home
THURSDAY, Nov. 15, 2018 (HealthDay News) -- The new movie "Boy Erased"-- about a gay teen's ordeal when forced to attend a "conversion therapy" program -- is shining a spotlight on a treatment deemed bogus and harmful by most experts.
And new research shows the key role parents often play in efforts to change an LGBT child's sexual orientation.
The first-of-its-kind study, which surveyed white and Latino young adults identifying as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT), indicated more than half of them experienced efforts to change their sexual orientation during adolescence.
Also notable: Rates of depression and suicide attempts more than doubled for LGBT young people whose parents tried to change their orientation, compared to peers who reported no conversion efforts.
"I wasn't surprised there was a negative impact. What was really important in this study is that most people don't realize [sexual orientation] change efforts start at home and often when children are young," said study author Caitlin Ryan. She's director of the Family Acceptance Project, a research, intervention, education and policy effort at San Francisco State University to promote health among LGBT youth.
"We found that when efforts to change a young person's identity occurred in adolescence, it had an impact that followed them into young adulthood," Ryan said. "Two things that were surprising to see was that negative impact included limiting their income as a young adult and restricting their educational attainment.”…
In "Boy Erased," a true story adapted for film starring Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe, a teenage boy is signed up for gay conversion therapy after coming out to his parents. The program proves traumatic for the boy and threatens to tear the family apart.
More than half of LGBT teens report conversion efforts
Among the 245 LGBT young adults (aged 21 to 25) surveyed by Ryan and her colleagues, 53 percent reported efforts to change their sexual orientation during adolescence. Of those, 21 percent said parents or caregivers at home tried to change their orientation, while 32 percent said parents, therapists and religious leaders had tried to convert them.
"We hope people use our findings to educate and guide families, providers and religious leaders to help understand these behaviors are wrong," Ryan said. "Whether a licensed practitioner or anyone tries to change a child's identity, it really undermines their sense of self-worth and self-esteem at a very basic level. As we see in this study, it also contributes to serious health risks and undermines their ability to care for themselves as a young adult."
Suicide attempts among those surveyed nearly tripled for those who reported both home-based efforts to change their sexual orientation by parents and intervention efforts by therapists and religious leaders. Levels of depression also more than tripled among this group…

One of the Most 
Significant Developmental 
Milestones
Toward Becoming an Adult 
is Adolescents'
EMERGING SEXUALITY  

Adolescent Sexual Development
Emerging Sexuality
This article has emphasized that adolescent development is an amazing and remarkable journey toward becoming an adult. Perhaps one of the most significant developmental milestonesalong this journey is adolescents' emerging sexuality. Although sexual development is discussed here as a separate area of development, in reality it represents a complex merger of youths' physical, cognitive, emotional, social, and moral development…
During adolescence, youth must make many decisions about their sexuality, and will come to learn a great deal about themselves including an understanding of their own sexual identity and sexual orientation…As part of that process, youth must also form a gender identity; i.e., whether they consider themselves to be masculine, feminine, or both (transgendered). For most youth their gender identity will correspond to their biological sex. But a minority of youth will identify themselves as transgendered; meaning, their gender identity may be opposite their biological sex.
Another aspect of sexual development is sexual orientation. Sexual orientation refers to patterns of attraction to others and includes physical, emotional, sexual, and romantic attraction. Like gender identity, adolescents' sexual orientation typically evolves throughout all three phases of adolescence. In this section we explore these many facets of adolescent sexuality. Our goal is simply to describe this process of development. 



The Development Of Self-Identity
Emotional Maturity 
…emotional maturity is indicated by the ability to identify and express emotions appropriately, and the ability to demonstrate a repertoire of positive coping responses to stress. Because emotional maturity requires the ability to understand and reflect upon oneself, it is closely related to the parallel development of self-identity and self-esteem. Self-identity refers to the descriptive characteristics, qualities, and abilities that people use to define themselves. Self-esteem is a concept very similar to self-identity but includes a value judgment about one's identity…



Emotional Self-Efficacy
Just as youth must learn to express their thoughts and ideas through written and oral communication, youth must also learn to identify, understand, and express their emotions in healthy ways. This includes the ability to understand the impact of their emotions on their thoughts and behavior, and the ability to delay or inhibit impulsive reactions to powerful, intense emotions. Once these skills are developed youth acquire confidence in themselves, knowing they "have what it takes" to master difficult challenges without becoming consumed by emotions, or acting out destructive impulses. Collectively, these emotional skills are referred to as emotional self-efficacy and youth that lack emotional self-efficacy may by unable to formand maintain positive interpersonal relationships. In addition, the lack of emotional self-efficacy may interfere with their ability to achieve important life goals, such as finishing school or maintaining a steady job. Thus, the failure to develop emotional self-efficacy can have life-long consequences.
Emotional self-efficacy is marked by the ability to manage emotions internally, rather than externally. Younger children will typically "act out" their emotions by throwing temper-tantrums and screaming to express their displeasure; or by dancing and twirling around to express their delight. In contrast, adolescents who have developed emotional self-efficacy will cope with their emotions internally by consoling and soothing themselves, congratulating themselves, and/or problem-solving a difficult situation.
Moreover, emotional self-efficacy is demonstrated by expressing emotions in a manner that is socially acceptable and appropriate to the circumstance. For instance, if someone were to receive a job promotion, it would be perfectly fine to jump around and dance with joy while at home, but not fine to behave this way in the boss's office.
Finally, emotional self-efficacy involves taking ownership of one's feelings and understanding that emotions do not reflect objective facts. In other words, feelings represent a personal and subjective experience that result from a qualitative interpretation of events. Therefore, everyone is responsible for their own emotional responses because each person has their own unique, subjective interpretation of the world around them…

"At the peak of the McCarthy period, in 1953, Evelyn Hooker applied and received a grant from the National Institute of Mental Health" to begin her ground breaking research on homosexuals completed in 1957.  It was during the peak era of US Senator Joseph McCarthy - his witch hunting for homosexuals in the 1950s. 


 The empirical research of Evelyn Hooker's 1957 ''The Adjustment of the Male Overt Homosexual’' found that gay men who are openly accepting of their sexual orientation are mentally as healthy as heterosexual men. 

It is interesting to note that Dr. Evelyn Hooker was in Berlin from 1937 to 1938 on a fellowship to study at the Institute for Psychotherapy in Berlin, at the time that Goebbels was orchestrating the highly publicized staged homosexual "immorality trials" against the outspoken anti-nazi Catholic clergy (Nazis Unleash Vicious Attacks on Roman Catholic Church - May 29, 1937 - Chicago Daily Tribune). And in addition, Dr. Hooker was also in the United States during the era of US Senator Joseph McCarthy - his witch hunting for homosexuals in the 1950s. Dr. Hooker was a courageous woman researcher because - "At the peak of the McCarthy period, in 1953, she applied and received a grant from the National Institute of Mental Health" to do her groundbreaking research on homosexuals.

SEXUAL ORIENTATION refers to an ENDURING pattern of emotional, romantic and/or sexual attractions to men, women or both sexes…Research over several decades has demonstrated that sexual orientation ranges along a continuum, from exclusive attraction to the other sex to exclusive attraction to the same sex. However, sexual orientation is usually discussed in terms of three categories: heterosexual (having emotional, romantic or sexual attractions to members of the other sex), gay/lesbian (having emotional, romantic or sexual attractions to members of one's own sex) and bisexual (having emotional, romantic or sexual attractions to both men and women). This range of behaviors and attractions has been described in various cultures and nations throughout the world… 
…sexual orientation is defined in terms of RELATIONSHIPS with others…sexual orientation is CLOSELY tied to the intimate personal relationships that MEET deeply felt NEEDS for Love, Attachment, and Intimacy. In addition to sexual behaviors, these bonds include NONSEXUAL  physical affection between partners, shared Goals, and Values, Mutual Support, and Ongoing Commitment…

PSYCHIATRIC VIOLENCE RISK ASSESSMENT
 …“Psychotherapeutic modalities to convert or ‘repair’ homosexuality are based on developmental theories whose scientific validity is questionable. Furthermore, anecdotal reports of ‘cures’ are counterbalanced by anecdotal claims of psychological harm. In the last four decades, ‘reparative’ therapists have not produced any rigorous scientific research to substantiate their claims of cure. Until there is such research available, [the American Psychiatric Association] recommends that ethical practitioners refrain from attempts to change individuals’ sexual orientation, keeping in mind the medical dictum to first, do no harm.
 The potential risks of reparative therapy are great, including depression, anxiety and self-destructive behavior, since therapist alignment with societal prejudices against homosexuality may reinforce self-hatred already experienced by the patient. Many patients who have undergone reparative therapy relate that they were inaccurately told that homosexuals are lonely, unhappy individuals who never achieve acceptance or satisfaction. The possibility that the person might achieve happiness and satisfying interpersonal relationships as a gay man or lesbian is not presented, nor are alternative approaches to dealing with the effects of societal stigmatization discussed…
Position Statement on Psychiatric Treatment and Sexual Orientation 
  Therefore, the American Psychiatric Association opposes any psychiatric treatment such as reparative or conversion therapy which is based upon the assumption that homosexuality per se is a mental disorder or based upon the a priori assumption that a patient should change his/her sexual homosexual orientation.”… https://www.psychiatry.org/file%20library/about-apa/organization-documents-policies/policies/position-2000-therapies-change-sexual-orientation.pdf

Jack Drescher, MD - Oct 1, 2004
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.
Closeted individuals frequently cannot acknowledge to themselves, let alone to others, their homoerotic feelings, attractions and fantasies. Their homosexuality is so unacceptable that it must be kept out of conscious awareness and cannot be integrated into their public persona. Consequently, these feelings must be dissociated from the self and hidden from others.
If and when same-sex feelings and attractions can no longer be kept out of consciousness, the individual becomes homosexually self-aware. Individuals to whom this happens can acknowledge some aspect of their homosexuality to themselves. While homosexually self-aware people might consider accepting and integrating these feelings into their public persona, acceptance is not a pre-determined outcome. For example, a religious, homosexually self-aware man may choose a celibate life to avoid what, for him, would be the problematic integration of his religious and sexual identities…


Staying in the Closet: 5 Ways You Damage Your Mental & Physical Health
March 11, 2016
…“Coming out is no longer a matter of popular debate, but a matter of public health,” claim scientists from Louis H. Lafontaine Hospital in Montreal. But for some who spent most of their lives in the closet, it might be just impossible. Whether it is the fear of being rejected by their now grown children, being criminalized by the homophobic society, ostracized by their own community, or the strong belief they would be unable to rebuild their lives with their new identity, these men and women are too broken to start anew.

Here are the main ailments that are likely to develop if you are forced to keep your sexual identity a secret from society and often from yourself:

Dissociative Identity Disorder. Notable psychiatrists Sullivan and Roughton have discovered that closeted individuals routinely separate their attractions and feelings for the persons of the same sex from their identity. That means these men and women find their desires so unacceptable that they keep them out of their conscious awareness, separating their sexual identity from the rest of their persona. Blocking the anxiety-provoking thoughts about their sexuality forces them to lead a double life and are very often unaware of it.
Chronic Depression. Increased fear and withdrawal from friends and relatives and the chronic stress of hiding one’s sexuality can lead to excess amounts of cortisol in the body, which contributes to severe depression as well as the general “wear and tear” of the body. Scientists at the Centre for Studies on Human Stress at Louis H. Lafontaine Hospital in Montreal found that staying in the closet weakens your whole immune system, in addition to leading to chronic depression.
Self-disgust and Self-hatred. Socialized into thinking that being non-heterosexual is somehow “mad,” “bad,” “wrong,” or “immoral,” many closeted gay and lesbian individuals develop internalized homophobia. They find that they do not belong and do not fit in either the “straight world” or the “gay world.” This painful feeling often leads to self-disgust, self-hatred, and contempt for the more open LGBT members. [PASTORAL CARE OF HOMOSEXUAL PERSONS 1986]
Low Self-esteem and Negative Self-view. Both can lead to avoiding fulfilling relationships with others. Spending the majority of their lives attempting to pass as heterosexuals to gain social approval, many closeted individuals develop low self-esteem and negative body image, which brings with them such issues as fear of intimacy, deep shame about their sexual experiences, and inability to develop emotional intimacy, psychologists claim.
Alcohol/Drug Abuse and Suicidal Thoughts. Growing increasingly withdrawn and depressed, closeted individuals often follow unsafe sexual practices and engage in other destructive, risk-taking behaviors. Being ostracized by the community, fearing shame and physical torture and imprisonment, creating heterosexual families, and dissociating themselves from the gay population altogether leads many to a life of substance abuse and addictions. Constantly haunted by suicidal thoughts, many consider ending their lives…


Coming Out of the Closet May Be Good For Your Health
JANUARY 29, 2013 - SMITHSONIAN.COM 
For lesbian, gay and bisexual individuals, a new study suggests that coming out provides a tangible health benefit, both mentally and biologically
A new study by a team of researchers from the University of Montreal seems to scientifically support what many have long suspected: For lesbian, gay and bisexual individuals, coming out provides a tangible benefit in terms of both biological and mental health.
The findings, published today in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine (the paper is not yet linked online), are the result of a study originally intended to see if, overall, lesbian, gay and bisexual individuals had higher levels of cortisol—a hormone whose presence in the body reflects chronic stress—as well as a greater chance of self-reported negative psychiatric symptomssuch as anxiety and depression. The researchers’ original hypothesis was that people in this group would be more likely to suffer from these symptoms.
Their main findings were something of a surprise—among their sample of 87 participants, gay and bisexual men actually had a slightly lesser chance of depression and anxiety, along with lower stress levels (as indicated by cortisol and 20 other biomarkers) than heterosexual men.
Perhaps most significant, though, was the secondary finding that they hadn’t even been searching for: In their study, lesbian, gay and bisexual individuals all tended to have lower stress levels and a smaller chance of depressive symptoms if they’d come out to friends and family than those who’d kept their sexual orientation a secret. “Coming out,” the authors write, “may no longer be a matter of popular debate, but of public health.”…


Study: People Who Come Out of the Closet Are Happier and Healthier
FEB 1, 2013
RESULTS: Lesbians, gays, and bisexuals who were out and open about their sexuality had fewer signs of anxiety, depression, and burnout (i.e. emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and feelings of personal accomplishment), and lower cortisol levels, than those who were still closeted to friends and family.
LGB adults who were out were just as happy, healthy, and satisfied with their jobs as their straight counterparts. Out gay and bisexual men actually had lower rates of depression, and were more physically fit, than straight men…

To the Roman Curia on the occasion of the presentation of Christmas greetings (22 December 2014) | Francis 
ADDRESS OF HIS HOLINESS 
POPE FRANCIS
Monday, 22 December 2014 
    1. The disease of thinking we are “immortal”, “immune” or downright “indispensable”, neglecting the need for regular check-ups. A Curia which is not self-critical, which does not keep up with things, which does not seek to be more fit, is a sick body… 
    2. Another disease is the “Martha complex”, excessive busy-ness. It is found in those who immerse themselves in work and inevitably neglect “the better part”: sitting at the feet of Jesus (cf. Lk 10:38-42)… 
    3. Then too there is the disease of mental and spiritual “petrification”. It is found in those who have a heart of stone, the “stiff-necked” (Acts 7:51-60), in those who in the course of time lose their interior serenity, alertness and daring, and hide under a pile of papers, turning into paper pushers and not men of God (cf. Heb 3:12). It is dangerous to lose the human sensitivity that enables us to weep with those who weep and to rejoice with those who rejoice!… 
    4. The disease of excessive planning and of functionalism. When the apostle plans everything down to the last detail and believes that with perfect planning things will fall into place, he becomes an accountant or an office manager. Things need to be prepared well, but without ever falling into the temptation of trying to contain and direct the freedom of the Holy Spirit, which is always greater and more flexible than any human planning (cf. Jn 3:8)… 
    5. The disease of poor coordination. Once its members lose communion among themselves, the body loses its harmonious functioning and its 
equilibrium; it then becomes an orchestra which produces noise: its members do not work together and lose the spirit of fellowship and teamwork… 
    6. There is also a “spiritual Alzheimer’s disease”…It involves a progressive decline in the spiritual faculties which in the long or short run greatly handicaps a person by making him incapable of doing anything on his own, living in a state of absolute dependence on his often imaginary perceptions… 
    7. The disease of rivalry and vainglory.[11] When appearances, the colour of our clothes and our titles of honour become the primary object in life, we forget the words of Saint Paul: “Do nothing from selfishness or conceit but in humility count others better than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others” (Phil 2:3-4)… 
    8. The disease of existential schizophrenia. This is the disease of those who live a double life, the fruit of that hypocrisy typical of the mediocre and of a progressive spiritual emptiness which no doctorates or academic titles can fill. It is a disease which often strikes those who abandon pastoral service and restrict themselves to bureaucratic matters, thus losing contact with reality, with concrete people… 
    9. The disease of gossiping, grumbling and back-biting. I have already spoken many times about this disease, but never enough. It is a grave illness which begins simply, perhaps even in small talk, and takes over a person, making him become a “sower of weeds” (like Satan) and in many cases, a cold-blooded killer of the good name of our colleagues and confrères. It is the disease of cowardly persons who lack the courage to speak out directly, but instead speak behind other people’s backs… 
    10. The disease of idolizing superiors. This is the disease of those who court their superiors in the hope of gaining their favour. They are victims of careerism and opportunism; they honour persons and not God (cf. Mt 23:8-    12). They serve thinking only of what they can get and not of what they should give. Small-minded persons, unhappy and inspired only by their own lethal selfishness (cf. Gal 5:16-25). Superiors themselves could be affected by this disease, when they court their collaborators in order to obtain their submission, loyalty and psychological dependency, but the end result is a real complicity…
    11. The disease of indifference to others. This is where each individual thinks only of himself and loses sincerity and warmth of human relationships. When the most knowledgeable person does not put that knowledge at the service of his less knowledgeable colleagues. When we learn something and then keep it to ourselves rather than sharing it in a helpful way with others. When out of jealousy or deceit we take joy in seeing others fall instead of helping them up and encouraging them… 
    12. The disease of a lugubrious face. Those glum and dour persons who think that to be serious we have to put on a face of melancholy and severity, and treat others – especially those we consider our inferiors – with rigour, brusqueness and arrogance (having or revealing an exaggerated sense of one's own importance or abilities)… 
    13. The disease of hoarding. When an apostle tries to fill an existential void in his heart by accumulating material goods, not out of need but only in order to feel secure…
    14. The disease of closed circles, where belonging to a clique becomes more powerful than belonging to the Body and, in some circumstances, to Christ himself…
    15. Lastly: the disease of worldly profit, of forms of self-exhibition. When an apostle turns his service into power, and his power into a commodity in order to gain worldly profit or even greater power. This is the disease of persons who insatiably try to accumulate power and to this end are ready to slander, defame and discredit others, even in newspapers and magazines…

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. Read more:http://www.apa.org/research/action/gay.aspx

Jesus Heals a Centurion’s Servant
After 
Jesus had finished all his sayings in the hearing of the people, he entered Capernaum. 
A centurion there had a slavewhom he valued highly, and who was ill and close to death. When he heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to him, asking him to come and heal his slave. When they came to Jesus, they appealed to him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy of having you do this for him, for he loves our people, and it is he who built our synagogue for 
us.” 
And Jesus went with them, but 
when he was not far from the 
house, the centurion sent friends 
to say to 
him, 
“Lord, do not trouble yourself, 
for I am not worthy to have 
you come under 
my roof; 
therefore I did not presume to come to you. But only speak the word, and let my servant be healed. For I also am a man set under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes, and to my slave, ‘Do this,’ and the slave does 
it.” 
When Jesus heard this he was 
amazed at him, and turning 
to the crowd that followed 
him, he said, 
“I tell you, not even in Israel 
have I found such faith.”
 When those who had been 
sent returned to the 
house, they found the 
slave in good health.

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:  Pope Benedict XVI 2007 2009 http://w2.vatican.va/content/benedict-xvi/en/encyclicals/documents/hf_ben-xvi_enc_20090629_caritas-in-veritate.html

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.

Issues of

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 anti-homosexual 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). Read more: http://www.psychiatrictimes.com/articles/closet-psychological-issues-being-and-coming-ou


17 Antigay Leaders Exposed as Gay or Bi
 January 27, 2016  Photos
  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… Read more:

Puerto Rico Republican …Sen. Roberto Arango has previously voted in favor of Resolution 99, a proposal that would block any attempt to permit  same-sex marriages in Puerto Rico. He has also opposed adoption rights for gay people. The AP reports that local news media published photos from the application showing, “a man’s nude upper body with a cell phone obscuring his face,” and another showing “a rear view of a nude man on his hands and knees… 

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...

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, 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

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

STRUCTURAL VIOLENCE
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…

The reduction of direct violence requires not only interventions aimed at individuals, but also structural changes aimed at how societies operate, as Kostelny and Garbarino have outlined in their chapter. In this chapter, we examine the effects of structural violence on children. Structural violence is the unequal distribution of power and wealth within and between societies, and it has insidious effects on the health, intellectual development, education, and general welfare of millions of children. The cruelties of structural violence on children are often subtle, unspoken, unrecognized, and even normalized, regarded by many people as natural or “just the way things are.” This chapter focuses on how children suffer the cruel effects of structural violence, and why it has long-lasting consequences on their intellectual, social, and emotional development…
