Easy Homemade Rat Cage Goodies

Hands off! We see relatively

At the moment I read the freshly published book Hands off! Sexual abuse in the church , which was published by the theologian and journalist Michael Albus (one of the Memorandum signatories) and the doctor and priest laisierten Ludwig Brüggemann. It includes some essays on the topic sexual violence, which were written by different authors from different disciplines. I am with reading still not very far, but can say that I have the medical and psychotherapeutic contributions so far find illuminating than the theological, which seem to me to go too much in a certain direction (among the authors include Hans Peter Heinz, Jon Sobrino and Werner Tzscheetzsch).

is particularly intense, the paper One cause of sexual violence: our bad theology the Marist priest and Dublin Seán Fagan, of the approximately 30 years working in pastoral care of homosexuals. This goes with the handling of the Catholic Church in Ireland hard with the sexual abuse to court. Whether rightly or not, I can not judge. But given the fact that even Pope Benedict XVI. the Irish bishops complained Strengthens and a work colleague who had lived there for one academic year, told me of not particularly edifying states, but I tend to Fagan to give a little faith.

I was born in 1977, can therefore bad for something as "ristriktiv" say designated education of our parents and grandparents. Also the author of the article seems to be a burned child to be when he writes:

"The young Catholics of today have no idea what previous generations 'teaching of the Church' in the field sexuality had to accept forced. We may say that the bad theology of the church itself was, which was responsible for a large part of what is now revealed to the public will. "


Fagan is now on a campaign against the church's sexual teaching, assumed it a culturally conditioned negative understanding of sexuality and buttons are also extended to the St. Augustine before:

"Christian spirituality was until recently heavily influenced by Augustine's pejorative attitude toward sex and its glorification of the celibate state. [...] the time of Augustine, the intellectual Friendship so idealized that he felt himself free to love in a way men and be loved by men, which was impossible with women. . Augustine would have any kind of tenderness for women motivated rejected as a sexual "

Continue to Thomas Aquinas's attitude toward women:

" With the arrogance of a man he discussed the question of whether women should be anywhere, and colossal ignorance, he announced that women were inaccurate or incomplete. By church authorities often cited as an oracle to the natural law, he claimed that even before the original sin women for their own well-being of men . Being dominated, because the ability is trained to be rational discernment of men by nature more "

continues with the doctrine of original sin that originated with the author almost exclusively by Augustine and the sexual act: The best I can for church view at all no sex. As to the nature of marriage, change Augustine, the words of Jesus that the spouses become one flesh, in an almost blasphemous way into "In sex, the man is all flesh" . The fact that the sexuality in marriage Original sin is charged to Fagan cited the Catechism of the Catholic Church of 1994 (No. 1607). And it shall transmit the Marist from Dublin over to my review posted yesterday rape? . As a preliminary to writing it.

"The [No. 1607 from the Catechism] comes straight from Augustine, but it corresponds to what feel Catholics when they speak of God and the Christian community, their marriage vow Karol Wojtyla tried in? to present his book 'Love and Responsibility' romantic love in contrast to the Augustinian doctrine, but the modern Catholic women has to be thinking not very impressed For example, he declares on intercourse.

[There follows the aforementioned quote.]

Can this really be teaching of the Catholic Church? It sounds like rape. "

Sir Thomas More has thankfully the Pope's words in his commentary explains in detail, so that the Conclusion Fagans is balderdash.

The author now describes the situation, especially in Ireland where had the Jansenism made great inroads have.

"Today, the young Irish Catholics know nothing more of Jansenism of the old Irish Catholicism, but the older generation can still remember the scruples and fears that they felt earlier by our religion. The churches were in the Mission weeks filled with one of their highlights of the special hell fire sermons on the subject of purity and friendship relations were. "

It does not take much imagination to envision, calls the reforms Seán Fagan now in the church and look like a return to the Gospel added. of course I will also ideology thus the dear buddy Jesus, the factoring of hell and purgatory, and finally the distance to the old liturgy. Not a few, older contemporaries combine Latin and precious robes with the blows of priests in cassock. Why not a few of the signatories of the memorandum rather older date are, is against this background more understandable. Not that the had no idea, but I think that such traumas linger. I know this from some discussions with the family. However, I imagine there ever again some shocking deficient and distorted views of the established church doctrine. Especially I have to shake his head again and again when it comes to the hard secret of the 8th to explain the month of December so now is simply too good in Advent. Too bad that there are no longer but nine months to Christmas.

I can not help me, but I see in the misinterpretation and perversion of catechesis and considers some of church doctrine in the past and present no reason to Teaching throw themselves overboard. Because it has driven some (certainly not a few) priest and educator in the past with their hell and damnation threat too far, we have a generation that did not live to see - and obviously out to keep the author's opinion of the discourse - , but now believe is not necessarily to the non-existence of hell and purgatory.

love older generation: I respect your attitude, your advice and your efforts to try to reshape our Church from these experiences. But please note that we, too, we share these experiences and therefore do not see these problems differently, or do not even have a part of this Church!
