May 29, 1937 - Nazis Unleash
Vicious Attack on Roman Catholic Church, Chicago Tribune|
Pope Benedict XVI in 1933 was 6 years old at the start of these Nazi publicly traumatizing events attacking homosexuals (a
Nazi political wedge used to gain the conservative vote that led to Hitler becoming dictator of Nazi Germany) - for a child. He was 10 years old at the beginning of these - highly publicized ‘immorality trials’ of false homosexual accusations of the publicly outspoken anti-nazi Catholic priests. It was a severe Nazi attempt to destroy the Catholic Church. These Nazi ‘immorality trials’ would be overwhelmingly traumatizing experiences for a child i.e. Benedict XVI that would have
lasting lifelong harmful effects, throughout his
32 years holding the two highest positions of authority
in the Vatican:
beginning with his 1981 to 2005 , appointment as Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, and the throughout his election to the papacy from 2005 to 2013.
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…”

RC hierarchy
Homophobic
Closet
In brief:
Here in the USA, it is quite evident to the world that we are living through a reenactment of one of
Donald Trump’s bankruptcy - void of Truth/Justice, science and empathy. It is as disruptive, disorganizing of government institutions across the nation, as was the hallmark of Hitler and the Nazi regime. It has overwhelming exposed its neo-Nazi core seeking a racial purity e.g. the GOP states passing voter suppression laws. Author, David Livingstone Smith in his book “Less Than Human: why we demean, enslave, and exterminate others” pdf gives helpful insights.
The Catholic Church in the
USA is living in the
Homophobic
Closet
of the majority of the members of the RC hierarchy. It is a stagnated existence in the childhood, the Latency stage of human development. Being unable to come to a self-acceptance of one’s sexuality that is because of the Vatican’s
unsubstantiated
teaching on homosexuality.
This is the stagnation that prevents the successful completion of the Adolescence stage in order to move onto the maturity of the Adult stage of human development, which is moving out of a selfish existence to become concern about and relate to others. This stagnation can clearly be identify by the RC hierarchy’s obsessive concern over adult gay pornography and oblivious to world hungry. This has undeniably, over the past 4 decades - become the homophobic organizational culture of the RC hierarchy, globally. They are unable to see the life-and-death concerns others and are overly concern about promotions, hierarchal titles, liturgical grab, etc.. Of course, this is not true of every member of the RC hierarchy, thank God, it is however true of the majority of members as proven by the real lack of leadership in the Church. The lack of leadership by example of serving the needs of all people that has led to the weakening of the moral fabric of the USA that has paved the way for the godless ways of Trump and his supporters.

by Fr. Marty Kurylowicz
…when I heard what Pope Benedict XVI said about homosexuals and transgendered human beings [rainforest] 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.

“Brokeback Mountain” 2005
Love on a
lonesome
trail
Roger Ebert
December 15, 2005
Ennis [it is his flashback in “Brokeback Mountain”] tells Jack about something he saw as a boy. "There were two old guys shacked up together. They were the joke of the town, even though they were pretty tough old birds." One day they were found beaten to death. Ennis says: "My dad, he made sure me and my brother saw it. For all I know, he did it."
This childhood memory is
always there, the ghost in the room, in Ang Lee's "Brokeback Mountain." When he was taught by his father to hate homosexuals, Ennis was taught to hate his own feelings. Years after he first makes love with Jack on a Wyoming mountainside, after his marriage has failed, after his world has compressed to a mobile home, the laundromat, the TV, he still feels the same pain: "Why don't you let me be? It's because of you, Jack, that I'm like this -- nothing, and nobody."
But it's n o t because of Jack. It's because Ennis and Jack love each other and can find no way to deal with that. "Brokeback Mountain" has been described as "a gay cowboy movie," which is a cruel simplification. It is the story of a time and place where two men are
forced to deny the only great passion either one will ever feel. Their tragedy is universal…

Hitler and the Nazi regime built their edifice of the Third Reich from 1933 to 1945 based on Hitler’s arbitrary and irrational
formulation of the pseudo-science of racial purity and presented it in pseudo-religious terminology. It was this false dehumanizing edifice of Nazism that led them to starting World War II and that ended falling, destroying them and much of Germany. By the end of World War II , more than 70 million people died, equivalent to “wiping-out” the entire populations of both (a) the state of Michigan with 10 million people and (b) the country of Italy with 60 million people. It is “considered the single most destructive event in human history (Less Than Human - by David Livingstone Smith - The Psychology Of Cruelty
http://www.npr.org/2011/03/29/134956180/criminals-see-their-victims-as-less-than-human).” The Second World War from 1939 to 1945 was a global war. It was the most widespread war in history that involved over 100 million people, activated the total resources (economic, industrial, scientific capabilities) of 30 countries
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II).

remains
deeply rooted in the
Nazi’s
inhuman

and continues to perpetuate
this same

The problem with early childhood exposure and or experienced of traumatic events is that the memories of such events can be sealed in the unconscious that continues to disrupt the adult-child victims lives - until if these repressed memories are able to be recovered and integrated in the person’s life, which in some rare extreme cases is not always possible or advisable. On continuum from mild to extreme this is likely to happen to everyone to some degree regarding unpleasant early childhood memories. A noted difference in Benedict XVI's case is that the traumatic situations and events that he was exposed to are historically unprecedented. To attempt to acquire some understanding about Benedict, we need to do some extensive research into the unprecedented historic times that Benedict was born and grew up in and lasting until he was 18 years old. Our research should include the works of Ian Kershaw, who “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…

It was a severe Nazi attempt to destroy the Catholic Church, an overwhelming traumatizing experience for a child that would have lasting lifelong harmful effects, as ‘immorality trials.’
A History of Christianity,
by Owen Chadwick, 1996
…In July 1933 pope Pius XI shocked the democratic world by signing a concordat with Hitler, which was very favorable to the rights of the Catholic churches in the German states. The Nazis had no intention of keeping this agreement and gradually move towards outright 'repression; the stage persecution of monks for homosexuality, with the maximum of publicity. In 1937 Pius issued an encyclical, Mit brennender Sorge (‘With burning anxiety’), in which he listed all the breaches of the concordat committed by the Germans (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2316392.A_History_of_Christianity p 254)."
Hitler. 1936-1945: Nemesis
Ian Kershaw 2001
…In February 1937 Hitler made it plain to his inner circle that he did not want a ‘Church struggle’ at this juncture. The time was not ripe for it…The anti-clericalism and anti-Church sentiments of the grass-roots Party activists simply could not be eradicated…The stranglehold that the Churches maintained over the values and mentalities of large sections of the population was an obvious thorn in the side of a Movement with its own highly intolerant ‘world-view’, which saw itself as making a total claim on soul as well as body. The assault on the practices and institutions of the Christian Churches was deeply embedded in the psyche of National Socialism…
At the same time, the activists could draw on the verbal violence of Party leaders towards the Churches for their encouragement. Goebbels’s orchestrated attacks on the clergy through the staged ‘immorality trials’ of Franciscans in 1937 – following usually trumped-up or grossly exaggerated allegations of sexual impropriety in the religious orders – provided further ammunition. And, in turn, however much Hitler on some occasions claimed to want a respite in the conflict, his own inflammatory comments gave his immediate underlings all the licence they needed to turn up the heat in the ‘Church struggle’, confident that they were ‘working towards the Führer’.
Hitler’s impatience with the Churches prompted frequent outbursts of hostility. In early 1937, he was declaring that ‘Christianity was ripe for destruction’
(Untergang), and that the Churches must yield to the ‘primacy of the state’, railing against any compromise with ‘the most horrible institution imaginable’…However, he indicated that at some point in the future Church and state would be separated, the Concordat of 1933 between the Reich and the Vatican dissolved (to provide the regime with a free hand), and the entire force of the Party turned to ‘the destruction of the clerics (Pfaffen)’…
Addressing the Gauleiter in mid-March, Hitler announced that he wanted ‘no ordinary victory’ over the Churches. Either one should keep quiet about an opponent (totschweigen), or slay him (totschlagen), was how he put it. In April, Goebbels reported with satisfaction that the Führer was becoming more radical in the ‘Church Question’, and had approved the start of the ‘immorality trials’ against clergy. Goebbels noted Hitler’s verbal attacks on the clergy and his satisfaction with the propaganda campaign on several subsequent occasions over the following few weeks…

This fierce traumatizing “Internalized Homophobia” generated through the experiences in early childhood years in Nazi Germany strongly appears to have become the official dominant Organizational Culture of the Vatican’s curial and hierarchy that started in 1981 when Cardinal Ratzinger (Benedict XVVI) was appointed Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. It appears from historical documents issued from the CDF office of the obsession of irrational and brutal suppressing all open discussions of the emerging science on homosexuality and silencing any theologian, priest, bishop or sister who initiated these discussions or cared for gay people.

Complaining about the dangers of porn
distracts from personal responsibility
David J. Ley Ph.D., May 20, 2013
Porn is not addictive. Sex is not addictive. The ideas of porn and sex addiction are pop psychology concepts that seem to make sense, but have no legitimate scientific basis. For decades, these concepts have flourished in America, but have consistently been rejected by medicine and mental health. The media and American society have accepted that sex and porn are addictive, because it seems intuitively true - we all feel like sometimes, we might do something stupid or self-destructive, when sex is involved. But, this false belief is dangerous, and ultimately not helpful. Because when people buy into the belief that porn is addictive, it changes the argument, and all of a sudden, it seems like it is porn and sex that are the problems. Porn addiction becomes a label, and seems to be an explanation, when in fact, it is just meaningless words and platitudes that distract from the real issue. But sex and porn aren’t the problems. You are…
…Here’s some often-ignored empirical science about porn – as societies have increased their access to porn, rates of sex crimes, including exhibitionism, rape and child abuse, have gone down. (See the work of Milton Diamond) Across the world, and in America, as men have increased ability to view Internet erotica, sex crimes go down. Believe it or not - porn is good for society. This is correlational data, but it is extremely robust, repeated research. But, it is not a message that many people want to hear. Individuals may not like porn, but our society loves it, and benefits from it…

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

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

US Catholic bishops find [ADULT]
pornography more
important than poverty
by Brian Cahill,
Dec. 6, 2015
Pope Francis’ emphasis has been on “a poor church for the poor” and the church as a “field hospital.” But the agenda of the American bishops at their annual meeting in Baltimore last month was business as usual, with a focus on abortion, same-sex marriage, religious liberty and, especially, pornography.
The bishops labored over a document highlighting the evils of pornography and went into great detail about erotic stimulation, orgasm and masturbation, reminding us, as some of them do on a regular basis, that masturbation is always gravely evil. Because the church has repeatedly condemned pornography, it is not clear why the bishops put so much effort into this policy paper at this time.
What is clear is that a majority of U.S. Catholic bishops continue to be obsessed with things sexual and continue to ignore the pope’s exhortation to instead focus on issues relating to charity and justice. Thomas Reese, reporting on the bishops’ meeting for National Catholic Reporter, wrote, “Francis wants a pastoral church, preaching a Gospel-based message of love, compassion and justice — not a nagging church wagging its finger at people.”
San Diego Bishop Robert McElroy, a native San Franciscan, has embraced the pope’s message and took his best shot at the bishops’ meeting to integrate Francis’ values into the deliberations on the bishops’ document regarding conscience and voting. Each election cycle, the bishops have issued a paper called “Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship,” which hasn’t been revised since 2007, and was only lightly revised for this 2015 meeting. The document, offered as a guide for Catholic voters, focuses on abortion and euthanasia and repeatedly references same-sex marriage. McElroy eloquently argued that the document was basically flawed in that it does not account for the impact of Francis prioritizing Catholic social teaching.
He went on, “If I understood Pope Francis correctly, it is that the issue of poverty, particularly global poverty, with all its victimization of men and women across the world and children, the global poverty and degradation of the Earth, which threaten the whole of our humanity, that these two issues lie at the very center and core of Catholic social teaching as priorities for us in every public policy position…And this is not reflected in this document…
The hardliners beat back McElroy and his progressive colleagues… when U.S. Catholic bishops could have been advocating for the poor and for immigration reform, speaking out for the hundreds of thousands of displaced refugees in the world, and condemning the compassionless and shortsighted comments of a number of presidential candidates, the bishops instead chose to double down on their favorite topics of abortion, same sex-marriage and, it would appear, masturbation.

Religious Reasons Suppressing Desire to View Porn - Research Indicates -
Exacerbate
Sexual Problems
A Personal Concern
...Repression seems to figure prominently into the puzzle of pornography. In 2009 Michael P. Twohig, a psychologist at Utah State University, asked 299 undergraduate students whether they considered their pornography consumption problematic; for example, causing intrusive sexual thoughts or difficulty finding like-minded sex partners. Then he assessed the students with an eye to understanding the root causes of their issues.
It turns out that among porn viewers, the amount of porn each subject consumed had nothing to do with his or her mental state. What mattered most, Twohig found, was whether the subjects tried to control their sexual thoughts and desires. The more they tried to clamp down on their urge for sex or porn, the more likely they were to consider their own pornography use a problem. The findings suggest that suppressing the desire to view pornography, for example, for moral or religious reasons, might actually strengthen the urge for it and exacerbate sexual problems. It’s all about “personal views and personal values,” Twohig says. In other words, the effects of pornography—positive or negative—have little to do with the medium itself and everything to do with the person viewing it...Read more: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-sunny-side-of-smut/

Pieter Bruegel ‘the Blind Leading the Blind’ 1568
In brief:
The Vatican’s teaching on
homosexuality is unsubstantiated, not supported by scientific evidence for the past 6 decades, beginning with Dr. Evelyn Hooker - 1957. In fact, it is directly in opposition to the science on homosexuality and is causing serious lifelong harmful effects to children in early childhood years growing up gay.
These serious lifelong harmful effects are clearly identifiable in the steadfast collective obsessive antigay behavior of the majority of the members of the Roman Catholic hierarchy. They clearly demonstrate that they are the adult victims of the child abuse caused by the Vatican’s unsubstantiated teaching on homosexuality.
From the past 6 decades of scientific research on the functioning of sexual orientation we learn that it is not under our conscious control. Sexual orientation is under the control of the autonomic nervous system, meaning it is functioning automatically and continuously throughout life. Therefore, the functioning of sexual orientation cannot be consciously suppressed, the functioning will be expressed in disguised forms, and at times in ways that are inappropriate even life-threatening.
...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)…

Vatican's Sistine Chapel,

“stew of nudes”
How the
Sistine Chapel
spawned a public relations nightmare
Jan 26, 2016
When Michelangelo’s ambitious paintings premiered in the sixteenth century, they touched off a very modern-sounding social media scandal, says art historian Elizabeth Lev.
It was called a “sin,” a “stew of nudes” that could “weaken the faith of others.” In the years following the debut of Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel paintings in the mid-1500s, a torrent of complaints about the works’ rampant, joyful nudity rocked the global Catholic Church…

Jim French Diaries: The Creator of Colt Studio
The benign postings of the nude male images photographed by Jim French of Colt Studio, as benign as Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel paintings, are to identify the ‘blind conformity’ unquestioning - collective pervasive
disguised forms of the RC hierarchy suppression of their gay sexual orientation arousal and desires.
In brief:
This is a complete biological impossibility, because the functioning of sexual orientation (attraction, sexual arousal, etc.) is under the control of the autonomic nervous system, meaning it is functioning automatically and continuously throughout life outside our conscious awareness.
So a person i.e. a member of RC hierarchy, who may fiercely deny his gay sexual orientation and consciously try to mentally suppress his same-sex sexual attraction, thoughts, desires and sexual arousal, viewing a nude male image, photo, however, the interrelated biological and psychological processes of sexual orientation i.e. sexual arousal will continue to respond to nude male image uninhibitedly outside our conscious awareness, whether we acknowledge it or not. Though, a person’s suppression of the natural functioning of his gay sexual orientation may be buried deep his unconscious mind - it can emotionally be forcibly resurrected by a view of an attractive nude male image. But instead of the normal expression of delight, it is twisted under the disguise into the opposite - an expression of disgust. It is the intensity and duration of the emotion of disgust that is the give away revealing the truth under the disguise - the emotion of delight. It is the way/manner and degree of intensity of reaction of the RC hierarchy to the nude male images photographed by Jim French of Colt Studio that exposes an indication of their suppression, dissociation of their gay sexual orientation including their developmental stagnation. It is this culture of ‘blind conformity’ of the RC hierarchy that prevents a free and open dialogue of science and religion on the Vatican’s unsubstantiated
teaching on homosexuality from taking place. It is also what is way out balance among the members of the RC hierarchy that severely threatens the collapse of the balance of the moral edifice of the CHURCH - because it is not built on TRUTH therefore it is not rooted in CHRIST’S LOVE!
The motivation for these postings is to draw attention to how deadly harmful this form of child abuse that is caused by the Vatican’s unsubstantiated teaching on homosexuality (void of science).
is to children in their early childhood years growing up gay and what the lifelong harmful effects looks like in the majority of the members of the RC hierarchy who are adult victims of this form of child abuse. The main motivation is to make public the immediate need to renounce the Vatican’s unsubstantiated teaching on homosexuality. Both Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI have went to great lengths to specifically explained the great importance for the sake of all humanity of the urgency of maintaining an ongoing dialogue between science and religion. And that isolation from this interactive dialogue is not an options - this directive would remedy this teaching on homosexuality that then would establish truth and promote more love in the world.
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…

and the

‘blind conformity’
“‘These people honor me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from me.
They worship me in vain;
their teachings are merely human rules.”
Jesus called the crowd to him and said, “Listen and understand. What goes into someone’s mouth does not defile them, but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them.”
Then the disciples came to him and asked, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?”
He replied, “Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots. Leave them; they are blind guides. If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.”
Matthew 15:8-14
Vatican’s teaching on homosexuality as recorded in the Catechism of the Catholic Church - is blatantly devoid of the science on homosexuality lacks clarity and logic that renders it an intellectual discourse of ‘mumbo jumbo’ (definition: language or ritual causing or intended to cause confusion or bewilderment). The absence of science on homosexuality renders this teaching as subjective and not objective - lacking any substantiated facts. It is an unintentional self exposure of one’s personal homosexual desires, thoughts, arousal and this person inability to permanently repress all the above. A psychological closer look at the composition of this teaching it seems clearly to be an extraordinary sophisticated form homosexual repression that is hidden in all the intellectual verbiage that is done not to confuse the reader as it is to confuse the writer. It seems that the absence of science on homosexuality is unconsciously deliberate
to avoid the tremendous fear having to face the truth about one’s homosexual sexual orientation. What is even more disturbing, as well as most revealing, is the ‘blind conformity’ on the part of the majority of the members of the Roman Catholic hierarchy acceptance the Vatican’s unsubstantiated teaching on homosexuality. Adding the science on homosexuality would significantly alter this teaching on homosexuality. It is the new balance that would secure the moral edifice of the church.

Malevolent
Orders
Stanley Milgram's famous experiment highlights the powerful human tendency to obey authority.
American Psychological Association
Findings
Would you obey orders to hurt an innocent individual-even when the authority issuing them has no coercive means to enforce his or her commands? On the basis of one of the 20th century's most important and controversial pieces of research, chances are that you would. In the early 1960s, Yale social psychologist Stanley Milgram, PhD, conducted an experiment whose purpose was supposedly to study the effects of punishment on learning. The experimenter told the subject that his job was to teach a learner in an adjacent room to memorize a list of word-pairs, and every time the learner made an error, the teacher-subject was to punish the learner by giving him increasingly severe shocks by pressing levers on a shock machine. There were 30 levers whose shock values ranged from a low of 15 volts to the maximum of 450 volts. (In actuality, no electric shock was involved. The "learner" was an actor who only pretended receiving them, but the subject did not know this.) Despite the learner's increasingly pitiful screams and pleas to stop, a majority of subjects (over 60%) obeyed the experimenter's commands to continue and ended up giving the maximum "shock" of 450 volts.
Significance
We did not need Milgram's research to inform us that people have a propensity to obey authority; what it did enlighten us about is the surprising strength of that tendency-that many people are willing to obey destructive orders that conflict with their moral principles and commit acts which they would not carry out on their own initiative. Once people have accepted the right of an authority to direct our actions, Milgram argued, we relinquish responsibility to him or her and allow that person to define for us what is right or wrong.
Practical Application
Milgram's discovery about the unexpectedly powerful human tendency to obey authorities can be applied to real life in several different ways. First, it provides a reference point for certain phenomena that, on the face of it, strain our understanding-thereby, making them more plausible. Clearly, the implications of Milgram's research have been greatest for understanding of the Holocaust. For example, a historian, describing the behavior of a Nazi mobile unit roaming the Polish countryside that killed 38,000 Jews in cold blood at the bidding of their commander, concluded that "many of Milgram's insights find graphic confirmation in the behavior and testimony of the men of Reserve Police Battalion 101.”…

Alexander Vindman Says Republicans Acted Like Trump Attorneys: 'Truth Was Their Enemy'
August 4, 2021
Retired Lt. Colonel Alexander Vindman believes Republicans who questioned him during the first impeachment of former President Donald Trump behaved more like his defense attorneys than legislators.
Vindman, who famously testified about Trump's phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, writes in his new book Here, Right Matters that he initially expected some congressional Republicans would view the former president's behavior as an "abuse of presidential power."
In the book, a copy of which has been provided to Newsweek by HarperCollins, Vindman recounts his experiences in the Trump White House and the effect the impeachment testimony had on his life, family and career.
Vindman, who won a Purple Heart for wounds he received in Iraq in 2004, writes that he wasn't sure if impeachment was the right course of action but "that wasn't my call."
He writes: "All I could do was continue to report the facts so that the calls could be made by the civilian officials.
"I fully believed that at least some Republicans in Congress would see the president's behavior the way I did—as an obvious
and unacceptable abuse of presidential power," Vindman says.
"Even if they didn't vote to impeach, or vote for his removal from office, the Republicans might vote to censure him. In retrospect, it's clear that I had a lot to learn about the workings of partisanship in this period in our history.”…

Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, an Army officer who works for the National Security Council, told House lawmakers that President Donald Trump’s July 25 call with Ukraine’s president was “improper” and gave him cause for concern.
“It is improper for the President of the United States to demand a foreign government investigate a U.S. citizen and political opponent,” Vindman said in his opening statement during a public hearing on Nov. 19 before the House Intelligence Committee.
Vindman said he reported his concerns to the National Security Council’s legal adviser.
Vindman and Jennifer Williams, an aide to Vice President Mike Pence, are testifying Tuesday in a public hearing in the impeachment probe into President Donald Trump.
Both Vindman and Williams listened to the July phone call in which Trump asked Ukraine’s president to investigate 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son, Hunter.

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…

Letter to Father George V. Coyne, Director of the Vatican Observatory (June 1, 1988) John Paul II
…By encouraging openness between the Church and the scientific communities, we are not envisioning a disciplinary unity between theology and science like that which exists within a given scientific field or within theology proper. As dialogue and common searching continue, there will be grow towards mutual understanding and a gradual uncovering of common concerns which will provide the basis for further research and discussion. Exactly what form that will take must be left to the future. What is important, as we have already stressed, is that the dialogue should continue and grow in depth and scope. In the process we must overcome every regressive tendency to a unilateral reductionism, to fear, and to self-imposed isolation. What is critically important is that each discipline should continue to enrich, nourish and challenge the other to be more fully what it can be and to contribute to our vision of who we are and who we are becoming…
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.
For the truth of the matter is that the Church and the scientific community will inevitably interact; their options do not include isolation…

Empathetic
ADULT
Because from early childhood years growing up - they neverexperienced parental empathy or acceptance in regards to their sexual orientation - their gay sexual orientation. Instead, they experienced continuously, as very young children at 4 and 5 years of age, the traumatic fear of parental rejection and abandonment for exhibiting outward signs of being gay - a concept that they at that age as children have yet to develop the mental capacity to have any understanding what “gay” means.
Therefore, they neverexperienced anyone showing them empathy - trying to understand who they are as an individual, instead they only experienced who their parents wanted them to be and out of childhood traumatic fear of parental abandonment they obeyed their parents without question. They never learned what empathy means, instead they learned how to be violent, how to inflict severe pain on others - with a lack of conscience. They are being raised in varying degrees to be sociopaths - to be as mean as you can be!!!
thesaurus definition:
mean 2
adjective
- a mean trick: unkind, nasty, unpleasant, spiteful, malicious, unfair, cruel, shabby, foul, despicable, contemptible, obnoxious, vile, odious, loathsome, base, low; informal horrible, horrid, hateful, rotten, lowdown; beastly. ANTONYMS kind.
And far worst this severe form of child abuse is condoned and advocated by the Vatican’s
unsubstantiated (voided of science - the BREACH) teaching on homosexuality - as the will of God!!!
The Majority of the
RC PRELATES have proven to be adult victims of this severe form of child abuse and are continuing to perpetuate this same violent form of child abuse globally without question, as they did as children - by promoting the Vatican’s unsubstantiated (voided of science - the BREACH) teaching on homosexuality - as the will of God!!!

The Root Cause
The Vatican's Teaching on Homosexuality is UNSUBSTANTIATED (not based on the science on homosexuality), it is a “BREACH” (Caritas in veritate Pope Benedict XVI 2009) and its influence is life-threatening to children, GLOBALLY, in their early childhood psychological developmental years growing up gay causing lifelong harmful effects. It is a form of “structural violence” an unidentified form of child abuse. It NEEDS to be immediately
RENOUNCED by the Vatican because it is NOT based on TRUTH and without
truth there is no LOVE!!!
Kids Are Being Hurt!!!
The majority of the members of RC curia and hierarchy are adult victims of this form of “structural violence” the unidentified form of child abuse caused by the influence of the Vatican’s
teaching on homosexuality and by UNSUBSTANTIATED
antigay social norms and prejudges
varying in degrees of severity depending on the type of social environments they were raised in (i.e. Argentina, Nazi
Germany, and the USA - McCarthy era “lasting from the late 1940s through the 1950s” note: Cardinal Raymond Burke born in Wisconsin 1948).

This is identifiable in the stark contrast in the adult behavioral reactions between Pope Francis and the majority of the members of RC curia and hierarchy most especially regarding whenever any positive statement is made about LGBTQ people i.e. 2013 "Who am I to judge?", Synod sessions 2014, 2015, the latest is Pope Francis statement supporting same-sex civil union law for their protection...

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…
