POST-VATICAN II CATHOLICS HAVE BEEN LEARNING SEX FROM KINSEY

SAN FRANCISCO, June 12, 2002 (LSN.ca) – The mounting scandal over lax discipline, dissent, broken vows and cover-up in the Roman Catholic clergy may have a surprising academic fore-runner: famed “sexologist” Alfred Kinsey (1894-1956).  Kinsey’s anything-goes, morally-relativist sexual philosophy, once considered radical but now mainstream, has triumphed over traditional moral teaching in Catholic institutions across the U.S. since the 1970s—creating a poisonous environment for priests and seminarians who go on to break their vows and abuse boys.  A course called “Sexual Attitude Restructuring” (SAR), offered in many in Catholic institutions, urged a generation of participants to rethink “restricting attitudes” and adopt free sexual expression. The San Francisco-based Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality (IASHS), for example, oversaw participants stripping down and “interacting sexually” while hard-core pornographic films were shown around them.  A SAR-based course was offered to parishioners for 10 years by the Milwaukee Archdiocese under Rembert G. Weakland, who recently retired after admitting to a $450,000 payment by the archdiocese to settle out of court with a young man with whom he had an “inappropriate” relationship. At the Milwaukee Archdiocese’s Cousins Center, participants in the course “Reassessing our Sexual Attitudes,” held in the 1980s, watched a National Sex Forum film of “leisurely and active lovemaking” in which a couple moves “freely from one activity to the next, engaging in several positions, some with a vibrator.”  When the U.S. bishops meet in Dallas, however, renegade post-Vatican II promotion of sexual deviancy, and the key role played by homosexuality, will not be on the agenda, according to reports.  To read detailed worldnetdaily coverage (Warning: some content may be offensive) see: https://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=27924
