GERMANY: Catholic Doctors Group Selling Homeopathic "Treatment" For Gayness

Germany's Union of Catholic Doctors is selling a homeopathic "treatment" for gayness on their website.

The religious association, which calls itself the "voice of the Catholic medical community," writes on its website that while "homosexuality is not an illness," a host of treatments are available to keep such "inclinations" at bay. Possibilities include "constitutional treatments with homeopathic tools … such as homeopathic dilutions like Platinum," "psychotherapy," and "religious counseling." Among homeopathy's controversial treatments are the prescription of "Globuli," tiny pills that consisting mostly of sugar. "We know about a number of people with homosexual feelings who find themselves in a spiritual and psychological emergency and suffer greatly," UCP head Gero Winkelmann told SPIEGEL in a written statement. "If someone is unhappy, ill or feels they are in an emergency, they should be able to find options for help with us."

1. K&R. This thread has an abundance of interesting, outrageous elements.

:kick:

2. Back in the day when my Catholic girlfriends and I were having our

babies, this was the rule: NEVER go to a "Catholic" hospital and NEVER a "Catholic" doctor. If anything goes wrong, if mom is in danger, you will be second in trying to save you. My particular group of friends had great Jewish doctors. We would have fun with them noting all of their "new" Catholic patients, etc. They got it... This "treatment" for gayness is just so stupid. Pope Rats has taken the Church back hundreds of years...Ugh.

4. This thread, and your story,

perfectly explains why I am no longer a Catholic. I almost died in a Catholic hospital with a 5 week ectopic pregnancy and I have a lesbian daughter who has my full support.

9. Dammit, I wish the . . .

Roman Catholic Doctors Group would sell Homeopathic "Treatment" For Pedophilia . . . !! Now, there, THAT would make international inroads across the globe and just think about all the billions of dollars in pedophilia settlement fees and court costs it would save the Church!! Eh. And, maybe that same Roman Catholic Doctors Group could begin to work on Homeopathic "Treatment" for Roman Catholic gender discrimination!! Now, we're REALLY talking!

[Creideiki]

12. Thou shalt not bear false witness

It's funny, I used to think that there was a corollary to that "against the lord thy god" however, I've been unable to find any source for that. My dad just explained it as "Don't lie". I'm well aware of the other meaning of "witness" as used by the evangelistic movements, but I'd rather interpret the commandment in the legal sense.

So many Catholics (or even KKKristians) choose to speak about things of which they know nothing, with assumed authority. I wish more of us would just yell (or write) "Thou shalt not bear false witness" whenever we hear untruths spouted by these sanctimonious pricks, and force them to explain themselves further, especially when they are in public forums, or taking part in public policy discussions.

Homeopathic medicine is no more than snake oil, IMHO, and is absolutely a form of false witness to a non-existent problem. The KKKristian attitude cause the person their distress in the first place. Remove the antagonist and solve part of the problem.

13. As long as there is self-loathing, there will be "cures"

As long as man has existed charlatans have been able to provide "cures" for anything they don't like about themselves.

It makes perfect sense that if there is something natural that someone has a self loathing issue on about themselves, when a "cure" is presented, they will convince themselves of the benefit, and for a period of time will believe that it has miraculously cured them. Like anything genetic, short of some future discovery of a gene therapy that can eliminate or modify the genetic disposition of same sex desire it is nothing but a placebo, and will only have psychosomatic effect.

Hence the well established history of religious figures being able to cure homosexuality just to find out.. suprise suprise.. that the results are only temporary, and often the self loathing cured people are eventually caught with their pants down in rest areas and park bathrooms.

I've always found it ironic that the ones that seem to hate us the most are usually the same ones that eventually get caught in one of those places/situations... but that's a different topic.
