That far-right Catholic web site that theocrat Richard Neuhaus leaned on for his claim that 50 or 60 percent of children raised by male homosexuals turn out to be homosexual or bisexual, and suffer many times the norm in incidence of child sexual abuse, has taken its own a peek at Michael Calace’s "Rape Of The Soul.  Unaccountably, they seem somewhat appalled…

"The Rape of the Soul" is a fear-mongering, small-minded, and pathetically smutty polemic about art and the Roman Catholic Church. Presented as a documentary by filmmaker and self-described devout Catholic Michael A. Calace, the film seeks to discredit "predatory artists" from da Vinci and Botticelli to anonymous designers of contemporary greeting cards.

Ooooh.  Self described devout Catholic is it?  But look on the bright side.  He doesn’t described himself as a recovering Catholic.  Or an Ex-Catholic. 

Kinda gets your goat when people read all kinds of filth into even the simplest expressions of beauty and joy in your world, let alone satanic influences, does it?  Kinda pisses you off when people ascribe sinister motives to even the smallest commonplaces of your everyday life does it?  "Predatory artists", did they say?  Why…how unfair…how terribly, terribly unfair it must seem.  But what Calace does he does out of love for the church…not hate.  I’m sure many who are Catholic may view exposing the disordered subliminal sex messages and satanism in everything from Catholic art to Catholic children’s song books as a personal attack but it is not…any more then saying cancer or a closer parallel perhaps, alcoholism is a disorder.

Or…not.  After Andrew Sullivan posted about the gutter Neuhaus gets his facts on homosexuality from, the gutter replied that Paul Cameron is being smeared by the "gay lobby", Neuhaus only said it was a claim, Cameron isn’t his only source, and in any case homosexuals just don’t want to address the fact that they are "psychologically malformed".  But it would "keep trying to find ways to say so in as charitable manner as possible."  Or at any rate, as charitable a manner as possible while spitting in people’s faces and simultaneously twisting a knife in their heart.  And you best believe charity like that doesn’t come along every day.

Like here, for instance… 

Now if I were to call homosexual pedophilia an affective disorder and an activist from NAMBLA (North American Man-Boy Love Association) accused me of bigotry most people would see that this was clearly an attempt to change the subject from a discussion of the issue at hand. However, in part, because the MSM has conditioned us to think of SSA as an alternative life style it is not so clear that the same logical fallacy is at play in discussing the “gay” issue.

Charity starts with the standard issue comparison of homosexuals to pedophiles.  "SSA" in case you’re wondering, is Same Sex Attraction, "MSM" is Main Stream Media, and "gay" is always in quotes because it’s always better to invent acronyms that dehumanize people, then allow them to speak for themselves.  Charity.  I wonder if Calace invented any good acronyms for all the penises and satanism he found in Catholic art?  And in children’s song books no less…

Yeah…something like that.  With lots of references to how they put pictures of cocks into school children’s books.  And remember, it’s a devout Catholic saying so.

Or perhaps my own charity is a tad lacking.  But I tried…I swear I tried…and it’s just too goddamn hard to extend the benefit of good faith to the braying jackass who wrote this, right before he compared gay people to child molesters:

The response to the statements that ’same sex attraction is a disorder’ is never an argument for why it is clearly a part of human nature (I suppose because there is none). Rather, the responses include the accusations of bigotry, “homophobia” (I’ve never figured this out, is that the fear of sameness or the fear of human beings???)…

Get me started… You know David, you’re right.  You’re Absolutely Right.  The word "phobia" means "an intense, abnormal, or illogical fear of a specified thing".  It doesn’t mean "hate".  It doesn’t mean "avoidance".  It doesn’t mean "prejudiced".  You’re Absolutely Right David.  The word "phobia" does not have that meaning.  But The Suffix Can!  Look Up The Motherfucking Suffix!  

Tell your chemistry teacher that the word "hydrophobe" is something you can’t figure out (Is that fearful water?  How can water be afraid?).  Then tell your biology teacher that "photosynthesis" is something you can’t figure out, because plants don’t synthesize light, they synthesize sugars.  It’ll be fun.

Many who are personally affected by SSA might see this as a personal attack. It is not. In fact, the very reason for this series is to show why calling SSA a disorder cannot be viewed as a personal attack any more than is saying cancer, or a closer parallel perhaps, alcoholism is a disorder. Let me know what you think…

What I think: Jack Chick is worse then you deserve.  "Rape of the Soul" on the other hand, is about right.  Charity.
