The Pope’s Gay Panic (relevance: all-male priesthood, control of male sexuality, traditionalism)

There is actually some logic to the Catholic Church's position on homosexuality [disclaimer: I'm a big gay homo], although you'd have to go deep into the traditionalist zone of the Manosphere to establish the context for which it makes sense, as a solution to certain problems that homosexuality poses in a systems context. That is to say, in a context where most sexual expression is repressed for the good of society (i.e. stabilizing the runaway positive feedback loops that, e.g., are oh-so-evident in modern society), repression of homosexual impulses makes some sense: it allows homosexual men to have families and participate fully in society, according to the established values of such a society.

I'm not saying I necessarily agree with this, but I understand the logic.

What I don't understand is the kiddie-diddling.

So don't attend a Catholic church. Simple solution.
