This document discusses how modern culture has led to changes in the human person, relationships, and fertility. It argues that thinkers like Freud, Marx and Nietzsche promoted a view of suspicion towards relationships and sexuality. This was further developed by Sartre and de Beauvoir who argued that love restricts freedom and that motherhood makes women less human. Statistics are presented showing increases in issues like breast cancer, testicular cancer, divorce rates, and infertility that coincide with cultural changes like oral contraceptive use and delayed childbearing. The document suggests this reflects a change in the reality and relationships of men and women due to moving away from a traditional understanding of gender and sexuality.
The document discusses how contraception has contributed to a "culture of death" by separating sexuality from procreation and the family. It argues this has led to a decline in morality, an increase in infidelity and non-marital sexual partners, and the commercialization of sexuality. The document warns that international organizations and governments are promoting population control policies around the world that restrict freedom and devalue motherhood and family.
This document discusses Sigmund Freud and his influence as a "master of suspicion" according to Pope John Paul II. It provides biographical details on Freud and summarizes some of his key psychological concepts like the id, ego, and superego. It also discusses Freud's ideas around the Oedipus complex and his view of religion as emerging from the patricide and cannibalism of early humans. The document argues that modern culture has removed constraints on fulfilling instinctual drives as described by Freud and Marx. It presents data showing impacts like increased rates of depression, divorce, and unintended pregnancy as a result of abandoning traditional morality.
This document summarizes the philosophies of Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir and their influence on modern culture. It discusses how Sartre rejected God and his father, viewing man as having absolute freedom. De Beauvoir built on this to argue that femininity is inferior and the maternal instinct must be destroyed. Together they attacked the union of man and woman. This document argues their philosophy was synthesized into the birth control pill, allowing women to approximate men's freedom, leading to profound cultural changes. It traces the pill's development and testing on women. The conclusion is that thought shapes culture in deeper ways than realized.
The document discusses three "masters of suspicion" - Freud, Marx, and Nietzsche - whose philosophies influenced modern thinking and led to immense human suffering. Nietzsche's emphasis on the "will to power" influenced Hitler and WWII, resulting in 70 million deaths. Marx's views that religion was "opium of the people" and economic factors determined consciousness led to communist revolutions and mass famines causing tens of millions of deaths. While the political ideologies of Marx and Nietzsche have declined, Freud's system emphasizing suspicion of religion and human nature remains influential today. The discussion will continue next week on further analyzing Freud's impact.
1.The LGBT Movement - Homosexuality Impact on Sex and CultureAntonio Bernard
This document discusses homosexuality and same-sex relationships in ancient Greece and Rome. It notes that in ancient Greece, socially acceptable pederastic relationships involved older men having sex with adolescent boys. It also discusses how homosexuality was common and accepted in ancient Rome, where same-sex relationships between adult men and slaves were considered normal. The document asserts that the loosening of sexual restrictions in ancient Greek and Roman societies contributed to their eventual declines, and argues that wider acceptance of homosexuality today represents a return to the pagan sexual morality that predated Christianity.
13. TRANSGENDER MEDICINE - Gender Identity and Sex Reassignment HistoryAntonio Bernard
The document discusses how Satan uses sciences related to the human mind like psychology, phrenology, and mesmerism to deceive people and lead them away from God. It warns that Satan presents these subjects in an appealing, scientific way that leads to erroneous conclusions. Satan's goal is to obscure heaven's light and God's word, and instead promote the opinions of men. True principles of psychology are found in scripture. Satan hopes to confuse people's minds so that only his voice is heard. Christians must be guarded on all sides and resist Satan's insinuations and devices in these fields of science.
WE SHOULD PAY MORE ATTENTION to WHAT is DELETEDPeter Hammond
The document discusses how truth and history are often suppressed or manipulated by those in power. It notes that more attention should be paid to what is deleted rather than just what is reported. Key points made include that facts are often hidden to protect lies and propaganda, and inconvenient facts from important historical events and figures are routinely sealed for decades to control the narrative. The document warns of a rising tide of censorship and the suppression of free speech.
13. TRANSGENDER MEDICINE- Gender Identity and Sex Reassignment HistoryAntonio Bernard
The document discusses the transgender movement and its relationship to feminism and secular ideology. It argues that the transgender movement takes the feminist concept that gender is separate from biology to its logical conclusion, asserting that one's true gender is defined by inner feelings rather than physical traits. It further argues that this view promotes a radical dualism that separates mind and body, seeing the body as irrelevant to one's true self. The document critiques this perspective from a biblical worldview that sees the biological differences between male and female as part of God's good creation.

The document summarizes views expressed by various religious and political figures opposing LGBTQ rights from the 1990s to present day. It describes the Catholic Church's continued condemnation of homosexual acts as intrinsically disordered. It also outlines anti-LGBTQ statements and policies from other Christian denominations like the Southern Baptist Convention, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and Evangelical Covenant Church. Several prominent American evangelical figures like Falwell, Robertson, Dobson, and Phelps are quoted making disparaging claims about LGBTQ people.
4. The LGBT Movement - Gender Neutral Clothing -Pants on Women HistoryAntonio Bernard
This document discusses the rise of feminism and its influence on women's fashion norms. It notes that second-wave feminism in the 1960s promoted eliminating gender differences and the nuclear family. It then discusses how fourth-wave feminism has taken this concept to conclude that one's identity is not linked to their biology, supporting transgender ideology. The document explores how certain influential figures in the early 1900s, like Amelia Bloomer and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, helped popularize women wearing pants, which was previously seen as a symbol of male authority. It provides perspectives from fashion designers recognizing pants as a symbol of power and discussing their role in blurring gender lines with fashion.
The document discusses the effects of Westernization and democratization on Japanese society over the past 200 years. It argues that Japan will regret opening itself up to these foreign influences, as they will erase traditional Japanese values and culture. Within a few generations, there will be "nothing original left" in Japan, just as happened to ancient Western societies after Christianization. The document notes how Western ideals of equality and democracy have led to the rise of socialism and communism in Japan. It predicts that the unique aspects of Japanese culture will continue to be lost as Western liberal ideas spread further into the country.
5. The LGBT Movement- SameSex Relationships Fidelity , Domestic Violence and ...Antonio Bernard
This document discusses the rise of feminism and LGBT movements and their impact on traditional concepts of family and gender roles. It notes that second wave feminism from the 1960s rejected differences between genders and the nuclear family model. Fourth wave feminism further rejects the idea that one's identity is linked to their biology. Several quotes provide arguments that were used to promote feminism and LGBT rights, such as rejecting the role of women as mothers and wives, seeking to abolish the traditional family unit, and presenting same-sex relationships and non-binary gender identities as alternatives to traditional family structures. Concerns are also raised that these social changes have contributed to higher rates of family breakdown and relationship violence.
12. THE GAY GENES -Are Persons born Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual or Transgendered ? Antonio Bernard
The document discusses research that has attempted to find genetic or biological causes for homosexuality. It summarizes several studies from the 1990s and 2000s that claimed to find biological factors but which were later disproven or could not be replicated. It notes that twin studies show that identical twins often do not both exhibit homosexual behavior if one does. Overall, it concludes that there is no conclusive scientific evidence that anyone is inherently "born gay" due to biological or genetic factors.

The document discusses the Kinsey Institute, which was granted consultative status with the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) in 2014. The Institute was founded by Alfred Kinsey, whose research in the 1940s and 50s promoted pedophilia. Critics argue the Institute continues to advocate for unrestrained sexuality, including child sexual abuse. By partnering with the Institute, ECOSOC seeks counsel from an organization that has contributed to and promotes problems ECOSOC aims to eradicate, such as child sex trafficking. A global coalition is calling on ECOSOC to withdraw the Institute's status and investigate its records of child sexual abuse.

A poll from 1998 found that about 0.33% of people surveyed believed they had been abducted by aliens. While this percentage extrapolates to about 1 million people in the US population, the margin of error is larger than the response percentage, so the true percentage cannot be definitively determined but is likely small. Reports of alien abductions increased in the 1980s as more signs of potential abduction were identified, such as anxiety in certain locations or recurring dreams. Lists have been compiled of common signs or experiences reported by alleged abductees, including missing time, paralysis, unusual scars or marks, sightings of lights or UFOs, and a sense of having a special mission or importance.

Leading science experts and non religious reason on rh bill - feb 2012Tina Santiago-Rodriguez
This document discusses key questions regarding reproductive health bills from both medical and socio-moral perspectives. It summarizes perspectives from leading science experts and world authorities on whether contraception and IUDs kill human beings (they agree that human life begins at fertilization), whether contraception is safe and effective (evidence shows health risks like cancer and no evidence it reduces HIV/AIDS), and the socio-moral effects of widespread contraception availability (evidence suggests it leads to more premarital sex, single parenthood and abortion). The document advocates resolving these crucial issues by consulting the greatest unbiased experts to determine the truth.

Eckert and McConnell-Ginet Ch1(1)(1).pdfCameronLee64
Gender is a social construct, not something determined biologically. While biology influences sex categorization, gender involves social performances and behaviors that are culturally defined as masculine or feminine. Examining gender critically is important because its social nature is obscured by its perception as natural and inevitable.
ABORTION- Are there any dangers to having an Abortion ? (Biblical/Scientific ...Antonio Bernard

The document urges building a civilization of love and discerning if one has received a "call within a call" to help with this new springtime of the Church. It provides seven principles for discerning holy desires with peace as an important sign of God's presence.
The document discusses signs from God that guide believers throughout history. It provides examples from the Bible of signs God gave to the Holy Family, St. Paul, and St. Bernadette. These included angels, visions, prophecies, and miracles. The document also summarizes Marian apparitions like Our Lady of Lourdes and Fatima, where Mary provided signs and messages. It encourages readers to be open to signs God may spontaneously provide, while discerning with the Church, and to read signs in current world events. The overall message is that God communicates through signs to lead people closer to Him.
This document provides guidance on creating a spirit of Nazareth in one's heart during Lent by following Christ's example of obedience, dialogue with God, and fidelity to one's state in life. It outlines a daily Lenten program of prayer and reflection. It emphasizes emulating the Holy Family by finding holiness in marriage and family duties. While most will find holiness as spouses and parents, some may receive a call to mentor other families on their spiritual journey. The goal is to discern God's will through obedience, silence, and openness to however He may be calling one to fulfill their vocation.
This document provides guidance on creating the spirit of Nazareth in one's heart to hear God's will. It discusses entering into this spirit through prayer, examining the virtues of St. Joseph at Nazareth like obedience and fidelity to one's state in life. The document outlines a daily and weekly Lenten program including prayer, scripture reading and examining one's desires. It emphasizes discerning desires that are in line with God speaking through the Church. The document presents research showing benefits of intact married families and calls us to understand how God wishes to use us for our own families and others. It provides practical recommendations like becoming more aware of spiritual movements and discerning with a trusted mentor.
This document provides guidance on creating interior silence during Lent to hear God's will. It recommends:
1) Setting the goal of creating the spirit of Nazareth in our hearts to fulfill God's will through prayer, scripture, and examining our lives.
2) Practicing lectio divina to listen for God speaking through scripture by reading, meditating, praying, and contemplating passages.
3) Making time each day and week for silence, such as using a dedicated prayer space and going on pilgrimages, to discern God's voice.
This document discusses drawing closer to Mary and creating a spiritual home for her in our hearts, like the home Joseph made for her in Nazareth. It recommends daily prayer practices like consecrating our day to Mary, praying the rosary, and wearing the Miraculous Medal. The goal is to help Mary give birth to Christ in us and fulfill God's will. By entering into closer union with Mary through prayer and devotion, we can become true sons of God and apostles of a new spiritual springtime.
This document provides guidance for observing Lent through creating Nazareth in one's heart by entering into prayer and discernment. It recommends daily practices like lectio divina, rosary, and examination of conscience. The weekly program involves discernment and putting aside guides to have a direct dialogue with God in prayer. It discusses St. Joseph's example of prayer, and the stages of prayer according to St. Teresa of Avila from vocal to contemplative. It relates the visions of St. John Bosco calling him to help boys, and encourages praying the rosary while walking in nature to contemplate the mysteries.
The document discusses the importance of the Holy Family and calls Christians to journey to Nazareth to live as the Holy Family did. It references apparitions of Our Lady of Lourdes and Fatima where she emphasized devotion to the Holy Family. The goal is for readers to enter into personal dialogue with God during Lent and discern His will, following the example of St. Joseph's discernment at Nazareth. The ultimate aim is to build a civilization of love by transforming ourselves and our families after the model of the Holy Family.
1. Multiple popes over the past 50+ years have pointed to an impending "new springtime" for Christianity centered around the renewal of the Christian family.
2. The Holy Family is held up as the model for all Christian families, with the home in Nazareth representing the "domestic church."
3. Entering into the mysteries of the Holy Family's life in Nazareth, such as living according to the virtues of marriage, sexual purity, and finding God in oneself and others, can transform one's modern home into a reflection of the original "Temple of God."
This document discusses the spiritual context of the current times according to statements from several Popes. It notes that Popes from Leo XIII to Benedict XVI have warned of evil forces at work and a growing "dictatorship of relativism". International organizations promote unlimited birth control and abortion as women's rights. But the Popes and this document see attacks on the family as part of a larger spiritual battle. We are called to understand and respond to these dramatic times as part of God's plan.
God calls all people to holiness through their state in life. The document discusses how people throughout history like Mother Teresa and biblical figures like Samuel, Paul, and Matthew discerned God's call. It explores how God calls in various ways like through the Church, directly to the heart, or in a "still small voice." Recognizing God's voice can be challenging but listening is key. The small group is encouraged to discuss if they know God's plan and when they've heard his voice clearest as preparation for next week's discussion on living in today's world.
This document discusses providing spiritual food and companions for the journey to holiness. It describes how the Word of God, doing God's will, and the Eucharist provide spiritual food. It recommends participating in a small group using the TMIY 7 Steps template as a way to find spiritual companions. The small group and potential spiritual mentors in the parish can help guide members further in their spiritual journey beyond weekly TMIY meetings.
This document discusses developing a spiritual plan of life using the That Man is You program. It provides details on the three stages of spiritual life - purgative, illuminative, and unitive. It also outlines seven steps to create a spiritual plan, including encountering Christ, turning away from sin, embracing the gospel, and not being alone. The document introduces a new mobile app created by sonarDesign to help participants access TMIY materials and customize a spiritual plan on their device with reminders and progress tracking.
This document discusses developing a spirit of trust in God's superabundant mercy. It provides examples of God's mercy transforming the lives of those who were estranged from the faith, including an atheist, a mafia member, and a satanist. It encourages developing habits and structures that make it easy to do good and avoid sin, such as going to confession regularly, avoiding bad influences, and forgiving others. The document provides steps to build a spiritual plan centered around experiencing God's mercy through prayer, increasing trust in divine mercy, and practicing preventative mercy in one's own life.
This document discusses finding God in other people. It provides examples from Eminem's life and music to illustrate challenges in finding God in others due to their imperfections. There are five major steps outlined to build a spiritual plan for finding God in other people: 1) Pray for grace, 2) Treat all with dignity and respect, 3) Evaluate relationships, 4) Find God in family, and 5) Find God in spouse. Developing the spirit of Nazareth involves having a preferential option for family over technology and speaking to others with charity and humility. An evaluation is provided to self-reflect on finding God in others.
This document discusses finding God within oneself through spiritual practices like reducing media consumption, living a moral life through confession and asceticism, having a profound Eucharistic life, encountering God as father through providing for one's family and keeping evil out of the home and heart, and living as the divine bridegroom through sacrificial love for one's spouse. It provides steps to build a spiritual plan of life focused on these practices and evaluates the reader's adherence to these teachings through 10 questions.
This document discusses setting one's mind on spiritual things and developing a spiritual life focused on God. It provides a three stage model of the spiritual life: purgative, illuminative, and unitive. It tells the story of Alexis Carrel and his journey to faith. It addresses developing the intellect and mind through natural knowledge, divine revelation, and contemplation. It provides steps to build a spiritual plan of life focused on reducing media, engaging with scripture, spiritual reading, prayer, and enjoying beauty. It concludes with evaluation questions on elevating the mind to God.
This document discusses developing one's spiritual life through prayer. It recommends giving God some of one's time each day through activities like morning and evening prayer. It analyzes King Henry VIII's issues with pride and competing brain systems related to prayer versus feelings of being in charge. Building a regular prayer life through a spiritual plan is suggested, evaluating one's current prayer habits. The encounter with Christ through prayer can help rediscover one's first love, as seen in the story of the Samaritan woman.
Man must learn to detach from worldly success and material goods attained by success, and instead use money and goods to benefit others. Competing brain systems can activate reward pathways related to success, purchases, and generosity, so man must tame his "triple concupiscence" of the flesh, eyes, and pride. Building a spiritual plan involves becoming intentional with finances through tithing, increasing prayer and charity, and establishing supportive relationships. Finances should foster communion with God and others, not selfishness, and can be evaluated through questions on spending habits and generosity.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

To Open the Eyes of Modern Man
3. We have been allowing the thought of Pope John
Paul II to lead us into an understanding of the
beauty of the human person “created male and
female” and into an understanding of our current
culture. True leaders are willing to face the brutal
truth about their current situation without losing
hope.
4. The Ultimate Temptation
• Ricoeur has called Freud, Marx, and Nietzsche
„masters of suspicion‟” (John Paul II, October
29, 1980).
• Jean Paul Sartre and Simone du Beauvoir were
successful in integrating the three “masters of
suspicion” in a way that attacked the union of man
and woman.
• Love is impossible. It restricts our freedom, which
makes us less human. “Hell is other people.”
• Woman are the “sex second” because their ability to
bare life. To become more human, they must become
more free by rejecting their maternity and becoming
more like a man.
5. The Devil as an Imposter
• “I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will make myself like the
Most High” (Isaiah 14:14).
• “In the beginning was the Word … And God said” (John 1:1 and
Genesis 1:3).
• “When the devil lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a
liar and the father of lies” (John 8:44).
• God uses the union of man and woman as a “primordial sacrament” by
which he works in the world. The “one flesh union” of man and woman
is simultaneously a sign and an actuation of the mystery.
• The devil uses the Pill as a type of “anti-sacrament.” It is a sign of man
and woman hiding from the Father, but it also actuates the mystery.
6. The Consequences of the Fall
1. Adam and Eve experience a changed
personal reality that directly impacts their
union.
2. Adam and Eve hide from God precisely
because of their changed personal reality.
3. Adam and Eve‟s changed reality flows upon
their children.
4. Adam and Eve‟s changed reality flows upon
greater creation.
7. A Changed Reality for Man and Woman
• “Then the eyes of both were opened,
and they knew that they were naked;
and they sewed fig leaves together”
(Genesis 3:7).
• Man and woman first perceive a
change within themselves and then
this change directly impacts their
union.

“developed world.”
• Research points to hormonal disruption
during fetal development.
• Between 1988 and 2003 testosterone
levels have dropped by 17%.
• Testosterone levels in men respond to
the fertility of a woman. They increase
when she is fertile, decrease after
ovulation and decrease during
pregnancy.
• Women on oral contraception are
placed in a chemical pregnancy state.

Fertility Change in the Life of the Man
• Sperm rates have decreased in men,
especially in the “developed world.”
• Sperm counts below 40 million per ml
lead to reduced fertility.
• Maternal alcohol consumption reduces
sperm counts by approximately 1/3.
• Maternal smoking reduces sperm
counts of up to ½.
• Animal studies suggest exposure to
endocrine disruptors, including ethinyl
estradiol, during fetal development
decreases sperm counts as an adult.

19. A Changed Reality for Children
• “Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she
conceived and bore Cain … and again,
she bore his brother Abel … And when
they were in the field, Cain rose up
against his brother Abel, and killed him”
(Genesis 4:1-8).
• The children of Adam and Eve participate
in Adam and Eve‟s changed reality.
20. The Sex Programming Window
• Sexual differentiation begins about the 8th week
after fertilization.
• The SRY gene on the Y chromosome directs the
development of testes, which begin producing
large amounts of testosterone.
• The developing male fetus will receive
approximately 10 times the exposure to
testosterone as the developing female fetus.
• The surge of testosterone simultaneously forms
the male sexual organs and wires the brain for
male typical behavior.
• “If you set it up wrongly to begin with, there‟s no
going back” (Professor Richard Sharpe).

Differentiation,” Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics

21. A Changing Reality for Children
• Approximately 8% of women taking oral
contraception get pregnant in a given year.
• Hormone levels remain altered for several months.
• Animal studies on female mice indicate reduced
fertility, reduced weight gain during pregnancy,
decreased age of puberty, malformations of
external genitalia, and defeminization of typical
female behaviors. (Study used “dosage levels
within the dose range…for therapeutic purposes.”)
• Animal studies on male mice indicate reduced
overall body weight, decreased size of testes and
seminal vesicles and reduction in sperm count.
(Study used dosage “approximately fivefold higher
than is used for oral contraceptives.”

22. A Changed Reality for Nature
• “Cursed is the ground because of
you … thorns and thistles it shall
bring forth to you” (Genesis 3:17-
18).
• The bareness of Adam and Eve‟s
union flows out upon all of
creation.
23. A Changing Reality for Nature
• Approximately 27% of ethinyl estradiol consumed
in the pill is excreted in urine.
• Wild life around the world is being altered: reduced
male/female ratios, low fertility and poor mating
habits, male fish producing female hormones,
intersex fish, genetic males with female organs.
• Test lake in Northwestern Ontario Canada.
• Ethinyl estradiol added in 5-6 ng/L for 3 summers.
• Test Year 1: Within seven weeks, male fish began
producing female proteins: delayed
spermatogenesis/malformations of the tubules.
• Test Year 2: Fish with ova-testes and primary-
stage oocytes; fish population begins to collapse.

24. Modern man has once more been tempted and he
has fallen. We have now awaken to a different
world. It is a type of anti-creation that impacts all
of creation. Fortunately, the Father is “rich in
mercy” (Ephesians 2:4).
