THE MAJORITY OF VATICAN CLERICS ARE GAY.

PAT SAYS

This is a very good interview with Marcel and he gets to the heart of the matter.

He talks about the whole RCC system as a lie.

The homosexualisation is part of the lie.

The abuse of power is part of the lie.

The monetary corruption is part of the lie.

He talks about the cardinals and bishops being stuck in a 1950s and 1960s mindset.

The gay “twinks” we see entering seminaries these days are running away from living their homosexuality openly in the world. They want to hide in a place of dressing up and double speak – and be on a pedestal.

It’s all dysfunctional and becoming more dysfunctional by the day.

What’s facinating is that, before I was born, “chastity” was something open to everyone to apply, at individual informed discretion, but now it is a non-existent concept in public. The Vatican has entrenched gaiety as an ontology, such that there isn’t even any pastoring of “persons”. Meantime turning clergy is portrayed as the only way to be a christian.

Next the Vatican has used a superficial meme (sacraments) to enforce its will, squeezing out any Holy Spirit service to facilitate grace. It has sucked the life out of relating outside nuclear families (a JP II hobby horse), replacing relationships by the media and schools (Paul VI), high demand movements (JP II) and quangoes (PF). Everyone that simply calls for everyone to treat each other as normal whatever one’s attractions or institutional position, is portrayed as a square peg.

How many times during my time as a seminarian wasn’t I asked by priests if I’m “in the parish”. Or other priests and bishops talking about who “is in the parish” or not.
“Oh I heard father X is in the parish!” Stupid me thought that, of course a priest is in the parish!
Not until I read Martel’s book did I understand what all this talk about being in the parish meant:
In the parish – a code for being gay.
So who is in the parish and who isn’t?!

I am a bit confused.
You see this as a problem yet

Brad, a very good question. As a layman it’s easy for me to detach from sacraments. (In my young day over half the congregation sat out from “communion” so politicians felt themselves to be in excellent company. The sheer tact and imagination of those days before JP II got heavy about “going up” gets forgotten.) By good Providence Pat now has the Oratory.
Everyone else including clergy have got to spend time thinking for themselves. Maybe an attraction in being a priest-academic is to not have to be seen in person pushing sacraments (while careful to emit the right level of sacramental propaganda of course). Ordinary priests probably comfort themselves that quite a lot of parishioners don’t focus on the intergovernmental aspects of the communion ceremony.

Like

Some mighty ponderables here from Martel. Had he been able to express himself in his native tongue, I suspect they’d be even more telling.
So when did the rot in the Church set in? Martel doesn’t say, but from his observations, it can only have been at the clericalisation of the eucharistic celebration (the Mass) and the other sacraments. Remember there was no clerical caste in the early church, certainly for most of the first century.
With clericalisation came elitism, came hierarchy/monarchy, came absolute power dressed as authority, and came temptation to abuse others through misuse of power. The future, and moral downward, direction of the Church was virtually predictable from this point, but its deviation from the goal set by Christ, service of one another (servanthood), would certainly have been obvious.
Where the Church is today is the destination of a 2000-year journey, largely of ignominy and shame. And its moral and ontological misdirection was almost exclusively driven by those in the Church who had accrued to themselves power and privilege (the clergy), legitimised under the banner of divinely bestowed authority. This in turn was premised on questionable and selective readings from Scripture, especially from the Gospel.
Priesthood was, and remains, the single, most baleful influence in and on the Church, and it continues to misdirect her from the evangelising mission set by Christ for his first followers.
Every priest who remains part of the institution is complicit in its continued moral degeneration and diminishing appeal, the very antithesis of its professed purpose, evangelisation of the world.
There is no middle ground here: no possibility of compromise. It simply is not conceivable (in fact, it is delusional and a denial of history) that the Church can be rescued through the reform and continuation of priesthood, because a priesthood was never envisioned by Christ and is a usurption of his will.

The resultant power trip is just as unsuited for the majority of gay and ungay laity as for the remnant of clergy who have shared their heartaches with us recently. The birth control debate was lost (until further notice) 100 years ago, hence a “genital fixation”. This is why power wielders are stuck in a mawkish, immature fin de siecle Thomas Mann – Proust mindset, transferring all their blinkered guilt (about their abuses of power) onto us. Those interviewed by Martel were formed by bosses from the fin de siecle period.
Far from “infallibility” applying only to the odd “ex cathedra” thing as allegedly first intended, now all critique of the dicasteries is defined, in PF’s mission creep regime, as blasphemy. And seminaries are no longer for turning out clergy generally, only Vatican look-alikes. Hence being a Vatican look-alike is the only way to be christian – either an Alter John Paul, or an Alter My Lord, or an Alter Moet guzzling wannabe nuncio. It’s essential for seminary to have lots of lengthy beer sessions to occasion “flashing” and even alleged “passes”, for the melodrama.

Like

PF deflects judgment from poor conduct by intimating we are judging ontology. The revolution began in the centre, in the period Martel studied and just before, but is now engulfing us all at the peripheries. It is becoming difficult for mere mutterers about innocuous devotional tropes to stand out from the infinitely more evil power trippers using them as human shields.
Carefully critique the lack of arguments: pretended opponents of the establishment are supporting it as we saw. Predation can be mental as well as bodily, and can be by proxy. The machine has a tendency to pick on those of manic temperament to perpetuate it. Martel flags up homoerotic atmosphere as a sign of gaiety in the clergy and the occurrence of predation as evidence of a prevalent sexualised atmosphere at the Vatican.

Illegitimate power over our consciences is big in the Vatican now. If we didn’t get belief from God when we had the chance, we’ll not get it from the church organisation now. On the money side, Pell’s reforms were on, then off, now (allegedly) on again solely because convenient for image. Martel is “outing the system” which connects the innate cover-up of picking on the voiceless with the prelates’ lying to themselves. The personage that went on cycling tours has meantime had a very bad influence throughout England and Ireland. Who says so much beer must be drunk? Do bureaucrats in CBCEW have brewery shares?

People have lots of problems, both physical and mental, with sex, and negative religious edicts only add to those problems. Gays are the focus of most sexual agonizing in the religious world today, but the transparent gayness of the church authorities is undercutting their influence on the sexual front, which is all to the good. Martel is very convincing, and without any axe to grind.

Syndicate’s online symposium on the Frederic Martel book about homosexuality and the Vatican. Syndicate is home to burgeoning intellectual community working within the humanities. It is a rapidly expanding network of scholars who are interested in not merely reviewing one anther’s work, but engaging it with substance. It is a discursive space where mutual inquiry and collaboration are encouraged and nourished.
From Sean Larsen in the introduction;
“The following symposium will eventually consist of 11 essays by scholars and practitioner, who engage the book from a variety of disciplinary perspectives: sociological (Guhin), journalistic (O’Laughlin and Martin), pastoral (Martin, Gioia, and Alison), psychological (Hayward), moral (Ford), ecclesiological (Flanagan), and various other theological (Heaney, LaCouter, and me) perspectives. Each wrote in response to our fairly open-ended invitation. Though the panel is far from exhaustive or representative, we have tried to begin a responsible conversation about the book in some of the ways we think are important.”

9.09, I take it you share Winter’s sniffy disdain (in fact, its a well-mannered sneer) at Martel’s book.
Winters stopped just short of calling the book ‘pulp trash’. But if it doesn’t actually affirm many of its more salacious homosexual claims, it does expose the gossipy, backstabbing (indeed bitchy) world of the Vatican: this alone renders the book a valuable addition to our compendium of knowledge and understanding of the tiny city state, made more credible by the fact that much or most of this information was shared with Martel in untypically unguarded moments by Vatican apparatchiks (cardinals and others).
Through this rarefied window on the Vatican, we can see an organisation not only in competition with itself, but at war with its members; and decidedly unfit for its professed purpose, of evangelising, in the name of Christ, the peoples of the world.

I have no doubt that the majority of Vatican monsignori and preti are of homosexual / gay orientation. There are two questions that flow from this fact:
1. What is it about the priesthood and the clerical way of life that seems to attract so many men of homosexual orientation ? I think at the beginning of such a ‘vocation’ there is a real sense of denial and attempting to ignore his orientation on the part of the young man. He will have been brought up bombarded with all sorts of messaging at home, at school, in education and also in society that it is a disordered state of being and something that is tainted and sinful. Even his Church has been telling him that he is ‘intrinsically disordered’. so, he tries to sublimate it, push it to one side, even minimise the energies that his sexuality will exercise on him. And, what better way is there to do this than to side step out of normal life where sexuality and sexual energies impact, and jump in to a sanitised, supposedly asexual environment where it is ignored, denied, and left to one side. That way the young man can live a virtuous life. But lurking underneath is still that homosexual orientation. It will out in one form or another.
2. Are these legions of homosexual clerics celibate ? Many of them will be. They may find other ways to manifest their underlying sexuality, like rather camp behaviour, dressing up, taking an interest in arcane liturgical stuff and vestments etc. A good number of them will eventually move in to some kind of gay behaviour sexually, and this will necessarily have to be subterranean and hidden leading to a double parallel existence. Not healthy.
Both of these issues point to a very unhealthy, dysfunctional culture and climate that inevitably does damage to the individuals and to the institution of the Church. Both of these issues have their genesis in the Church’s warped and obsessive concern with sexual, genital sex and who does what, with whom, and how. I wonder does God really care that much about all that stuff ? If the Church wants to have a healthy and integrated understanding and theology of sex and sexuality, then it needs to do a lot of rethinking and move away from a negative and judgemental view of sex and sexuality in to a world where these energies are embraced and celebrated in a positive and open way.

What is tragic is that they are not told to critique the contradictions before buying in. True truth is more logical and more rational and no less genuinely “mysterious”; usurped authority always wants to short circuit straight to some sort of “mystery” bypassing honesty.

Perhaps Dom Chautard could have showed us how to manage our emotions and relationships in Holy Spirit power but his book Soul of the Apostolate was effectively suppressed almost as soon as he wrote it. Then the organisational big wheels (including Ratzinger and Wojtyla at the time) started twisting time honoured principles, entrenching habitual bad dynamics while claiming to abolish them.

9 23: An excellent comment. Lurid headlines and shallow, sound bytes, like those of “Pat says” do nothing for rational, honest or intellectual debate about the future relevance of priesthood with its mandatory celibacy requirement. Shallow, nasty judgments by nuance and innuendo have us precisely in a cul de sac. Priesthood, human sexuality, particularly homosexuality, need to be thoroughly analysed in our church and societal culture today. There’s a blindness to the myriad of human misery experienced by priests vis a vis sexual intimacy and connectivity. Many of us simply survive because an “ideal” was placed upon us as a wonderful grace, which we know we cannot achieve – humanly at least – though some priests are remarkable in attaining peace and fulfilment in priesthood and celibacy. We must of course have ideals but in 2020 with a quickly changing church, society and priesthoid, the efforts to be a truly, authentic human being is a battle. The past few months of this pandemic has deeply accentuated the anomaly and incongruity of celibate priesthood. Where are we to go from this juncture? I simply don’t know. In the meantime, I continue to minister as if there were no real questions and serious problems. We desperately need a new visionary, poetic, prophetic and inspiring leadership – of men and women. The emotional, mental and spiritual damage done to men in priesthood is incalculable. We keep going in the hope that we remain balanced, whole, human and Divinely embraced so that we don’t damage others intentionally or otherwise….

And this is the problem. This is dysfunctional. This is amoral. The Church creates, created much of its problems with negativity toward heterosexual dating, 13 year old boarding school seminarians. Mandated Celbacy (that’s sometimes non celibacy) This is a problem to with heterosexual priests harrassing girls or women to. Homosexuality is Not genetic or very , very minimal. There is a large developmental component to it environmentally…(broken homes) and in some other cases In Utero from the mothers womb chemically during gestation. Homosexuality is not AOK. It altars the essence of ones life, can confuse and derail the funcitonal maturation of the young, impact ones identity, sense of self and welfare. When it’s made powerful and desirable in a religious community, it can destabilize the health, clarity and functionality of everything under its control. Deviant or criminal behaviors get minimized to just “human factors” and Moral goals and actions get confused.

+Pat, I agree with this comment. The blog improved with absence of some regular contributors of a quasi nuisance obsessive overly repetitious nature. Mr Mulvihill is becoming tedious with indecipherable comments. Can we be spared by some restriction please?

The Mr. bit gives ye Frs away….all the time….your tedious obsessive repetitious concern with title ( your own…invariably its all you’ve got) is incredible….much like your morals.
No restriction needed….it is complete.

My merciful God, does Mulvihill have any self awareness at all? His blathering and inane, stupid comments is turning into farce. Pat, you’ll have to treat him like the way you treated Magna – zero tolerance. His waffling is embarrassing. Get a grip, Willie Dear. Grow up.

A blog by Mulvihill about Mulvihill about Mulvihill about Mulvihill. 18 comments so far and all nonsensical. Utter banality. Poor old Millicent is lost.

It used to be that whenever I saw the name Magna Carta I used to scroll on by – now happens with Mulvihill, Why does this blog come to be dominated by one particular voice?

Well at least when Magna was “sensible “, he regularly wrote some highly informative knowledgeable stuff. Pity he couldn’t maintain that sensible equilibrium.
Mulvihill, just continual far too frequent blathering.
I agree +Pat. Limit him to two per day to enforce some coherence, if that be possible.
MMM
