THE DE-HOMOSEXUALIZATION OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH

A Vatican source has disclosed to To The Point a psychological trauma of John Paul II. Whenever Vatican investigators brought the results of their vetting process regarding an individual’s candidacy for bishop, cardinal, or other office, and they revealed he was a homosexual, John Paul II would refuse to believe it.

He did so because accusing someone of homosexuality was a standard practice of the Communist government in his native Poland regarding anyone it regarded as an enemy of the state. From his ordination as a Catholic priest in 1946 to elevation to Archbishop of Krakow in 1963 and Cardinal in 1967, the then Karol Wojtyla witnessed this personal destruction repeatedly. So traumatized, he summarily dismissed such accusations as Pope, and would approve the elevation of anyone so accused.

This is why the Catholic Church, from Bishops in Boston to the Vatican itself, is riddled with homosexuals today. This also explains the hysterical reaction of homosexuals, such as writer Andrew Sullivan, to Cardinal Jozef Ratzinger succeeding John Paul II as Pope Benedict XVI.

The day of the Habemus Papum (“We have a Pope!) announcement on April 19, Sullivan denounced the new pontiff as a “Grand Inquisitor” who had “declared a war on modernity” and would launch an “attack on individual freedom.” Yes, the famous commentator who once pretended to be conservative has figured it out: the Catholic Church is now going to be in forthright moral opposition to the “modernity” of homosexual priests and the “individual freedom” of molesting young boys.

As the Dean of the College of Cardinals and the Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Cardinal Ratzinger learned who the homosexuals are in the Vatican and the almost 3,000 dioceses in the world. As Pope Benedict XVI, he will encourage their departure from the priesthood.

In his Good Friday homily this year, he condemned the “filth there is in the Church,” making it clear he was referring to priest-pedophiles. In a Letter to the Bishops composed in 1986 and printed in the National Catholic Register, he wrote:

Although the particular inclination of the homosexual person is not a sin, it is a more or less strong tendency ordered to an intrinsic moral evil, and thus the inclination itself must be seen as an objective disorder.

He clearly recognizes what the media calls the Church’s “sex-abuse scandal” is a left-wing excuse to attack Catholicism as such, because the media never condemned and always tried to cover-up the pederasty causing the scandal. He thus condemns the attack:

In the Church, priests also are sinners. But I am personally convinced that the constant presence in the press of the sins of Catholic priests, especially in the United States, is a planned campaign, as the percentage of these offences among priests is not higher than in other categories, and perhaps it is even lower.

As a genuine Christian who believes in forgiveness and understanding, he despises the mistreatment of homosexuals:

It is deplorable that homosexual persons have been and are the object of violent malice in speech or in action. Such treatment deserves condemnation from the Church’s pastors wherever it occurs.

Yet however much sympathy he has for an individual’s struggle with an inclination towards homosexuality, he nonetheless views its practice as an “intrinsic moral evil,” and will not tolerate its presence in his Church.

The hate and vindictiveness of homosexuals such as Sullivan is made most obvious when he declares his wish for a “coming civil war within Catholicism” brought about by Benedict XVI. Blinded by their prejudices, they do no see there will be no “emptying of pews,” no “accelerating exodus” among American Catholics, as they hope for. Just the opposite. There will be a return to the pews, an accelerating influx, as Pope Benedict XVI returns his Church to traditional morality.

Benedict XVI is going to give people what they spiritually hunger for and no longer find in their pews today: a firm place to make their moral stand. This Pope is going to regenerate the moral revival of Christianity – to the great benefit of all Christendom, to the great benefit of Western Civilization, and to the great frustration of its enemies.
