Subject: Maureen Dowd: Says the devil, himself, "men are slaves to

Well, Maureen Dowd still struggles
with the Catholic Church. I always
recommend reading "Hostage to the Devil"
for clarification:

Of course she has a point. The Church, itself, admits that
about a third of the priests are gay. The Modernism of Vatican II is,
in fact, what happened to the Church - and that was the warning at
Fatima as regards Vatican II - exposed by Malachi Martin. It's all
this gay-queer homo debauchery stuff that the Modernists told us we're
fine to be doing because it is "normal." ("Animals do it.") I don't
blame her for resenting the Catholic Church's obnoxiousness towards
women. They're not the only ones who mistakenly think men are smarter
than women. The whole world is one big mysogynists' playground,
despite the obvious failures of the US economy, medical science, and
wars.
We're still waiting for something intelligent to happen in the post-
Modernism West, not least, someone - some male, perhaps, other than
the priest, Malachi Martin - running the two concepts together: the
takeover of American Culture by PopPsy and our Intellectual Collapse.
Nobody hears a word from psychiatry on the immoralism of the fake oil
wars, or about the Lyme crymes, or about what Yale did with their fake
vaccine, inhibiting discovery in all major diseases, or about Kaiser's
lawsuit against Pfizer over the false-promotion of Neurontin, while
Kaiser and SmithKline are behind the Lyme crymes, and were themselves,
together, prosecuted for the fraudulent relabeling of Paxil.
No one ever hears a single comment by psychiatry about the brain
disease - Lyme, or the other brain disease - Post-LYMErix Syndrome.
Psychiatry never says a single word about how the psychopath Allen
Steere abused the psychiatrist Michael Schwartz, who then went on to
found the AAPP. Not even Michael Schwartz.
It's all about penises, see, whether they're Catholic priests, or
penis-pumping "judges," or all of psychiatry. It's all of Western
Culture.
Says the devil, himself, "men are slaves to their dangling ganglions":

They're utterly pathetic.
In your mind, you have to categorize them to something in that's a
cross between a child and a brain-injured pitbull.
That's the best we can do.

The Church’s Judas Moment
By MAUREEN DOWD
WASHINGTON
I’m a Catholic woman who makes a living being adversarial. We have a
pope who has instructed Catholic women not to be adversarial.
It’s a conundrum.
I’ve been wondering, given the vitriolic reaction of the New York
archbishop to my column defending nuns and the dismissive reaction of
the Vatican to my column denouncing the church’s response to the
pedophilia scandal, if they are able to take a woman’s voice
seriously. Some, like Bill Donohue of the Catholic League, seem to
think women are trying to undermine the church because of abortion and
women’s ordination.
I thought they might respond better to a male Dowd.
My brother Kevin is conservative and devout — his hobby is collecting
crèches — and has raised three good Catholic sons. When I asked him to
share his thoughts on the scandal, I learned, shockingly, that we
agreed on some things. He wrote the following:
“In pedophilia, the church has unleashed upon itself a plague that
threatens its very future, and yet it remains in a curious state of
denial. The church I grew up in was black and white, no grays. That’s
why my father, an Irish immigrant, liked it so much. The chaplain of
the Police and Fire departments told me once ‘Your father was a fierce
Catholic, very fierce.’
My brothers and I were sleepily at his side for the monthly 8 a.m.
Holy Name Mass and the guarding of the Eucharist in the middle of the
night during the 40-hour ritual at Easter. Once during a record
snowstorm in 1958, we were marched single-file to church for Mass only
to find out the priests next door couldn’t get out of the rectory.
The priest was always a revered figure, the embodiment of Christ
changing water into wine. (Older parishioners took it literally.) The
altar boys would drink the dregs.
When I was in the 7th grade, one of the new priests took four of us to
the drive-in restaurant and suggested a game of ‘pink belly’ on the
way back; we pulled up a boy’s shirt and slapped his belly until it
was pink. When the new priest joined in, it seemed like more groping
than slapping. But we thought it was inadvertent. And my parents never
would have believed a priest did anything inappropriate anyway. A boy
in my class told me much later that the same priest climbed into bed
with him in 1958 at a rectory sleepover, but my friend threw him to
the floor. The priest protested he was sleepwalking. Three days later,
the archbishop sent the priest to a rehab place in New Mexico; he
ended up as a Notre Dame professor.
Vatican II made me wince. The church declared casual Friday. All the
once-rigid rules left to the whim of the flock. The Mass was said in
English (rendering useless my carefully learned Latin prayers). Holy
days of obligation were optional. There were laypeople on the
heretofore sacred ground of the altar — performing the sacraments and
worse, handling the Host. The powerful symbolism of the priest turning
the Host into the body of Christ cracked like an egg.
In his book, ‘Goodbye! Good Men,’ author Michael Rose writes that the
liberalized rules set up a takeover of seminaries by homosexuals.
Vatican II liberalized rules but left the most outdated one: celibacy.
That vow was put in place originally because the church did not want
heirs making claims on money and land. But it ended up shrinking the
priest pool and producing the wrong kind of candidates — drawing men
confused about their sexuality who put our children in harm’s way.
The church is dying from a thousand cuts. Its cover-up has cost a
fortune and been a betrayal worthy of Judas. The money spent came from
social programs, Catholic schools and the poor. This should be a sin
that cries to heaven for vengeance. I asked a friend of mine recently
what he would do if his child was molested after the church knew. ‘I
would probably kill someone,’ he replied.
We must reassess. Married priests and laypeople giving the sacraments
are not going to destroy the church. Based on what we have seen the
last 10 years, they would be a bargain. It is time to go back to the
disciplines that the church was founded on and remind our seminaries
and universities what they are. (Georgetown University agreeing to
cover religious symbols on stage to get President Obama to speak was
not exactly fierce.)
The storm within the church strikes at what every Catholic fears most.
We take our religion on faith. How can we maintain that faith when our
leaders are unworthy of it?”
