Duluth, Minnesota (OpEdNews) March 24, 2025: On February 28, 2025, I submitted my 12,700-word OEN article titled "Philip Shenon on the Last Seven Popes" (dated March 11, 2025) for consideration for publication at OEN (see the "References" at the end of this essay for a link to it).
In it, I highlight the American investigative journalist Philip Shenon's bleak new 2025 book Jesus Wept: Seven Popes and the Battle for the Soul of the Catholic Church. As the main title of his bleak new 2025 book may suggest to you, Philip Shenon dwells at length on the tragic priest-sex-abuse scandal in the Roman Catholic Church and on the tragic cover-up of priest sex abuse by bishops. However, as Philips Shenon's subtitle suggests, he also dwells at length on the various theological battles within the Church on the Church's official teachings involving various individual personal sexual matters.
In addition to the various classic theological battles involving individual personal sexual matters within the Roman Catholic Church that Philip Shenon refers to in his bleak new 2025 book Jesus Wept, I would also single out here two other books for your attention by lay Catholic authors: (1) Margaret A. Farley's Just Love: A Framework for Christian Sexual Ethics (2006); and (2) The Sexual Person: Toward a Renewed Catholic Anthropology (2008).
Of course, Philip Shenon is not the first or the only non-Catholic to question the Roman Catholic Church's official teachings about those sex-related moral issues. As he notes repeatedly, various Catholic theologians over the years have also challenged those sex-related moral teachings of the Church - and so have many practicing Catholics.
The Roman Catholic Church and all other Christian churches are multi-purpose transmitters of the tragic anti-body heritage in our Western cultural history - including the devout Christian retired pornstar Mandy Flores' own church in the state of Washington, where she lives with her husband and their two children and where has her own production studio and produces her many delightful mom-son porn videos that are available free on the internet.
Yes, like all other American Christians, both the devout Mandy Flores and I grew up in anti-body Christian churches in the United States.
However, even though the devout Christian Mandy Flores grew up in the tragic anti-body Christian tradition of her Christian church in the United States, she has emerged as a wonderfully seductive mom in her many delightful mom-son porn videos that are available free on the internet.
Similarly, even though I grew up in the tragic anti-body tradition of the Roman Catholic Church in the United States, I have emerged in the present OEN article as a strong explicit critic of the anti-body heritage in Christian churches in the United States and in our Western cultural history. The present OEN article is my first OEN article (out of more than 660 OEN articles) in which I explicitly thematize the tragic anti-body theme.
The present OEN article is also my first OEN article in which I discuss President Donald Trump's foreign policy.
Yes, to be sure, I am here combining my criticism of the anti-body theme in our Western cultural history with my current concerns about Trump's foreign policy.
While I do advance any sweeping suggestions here about Trump's foreign policy, I do advance here my sweeping suggestion about Mandy Flores' delightful mom-son porn videos that are available free on the internet as one important way American boys and men of all ages can work to counter the anti-body heritage in their psyches.
Yes, in the present wide-ranging essay, I see myself using what C. G. Jung refers to as fantasy thinking involving images and associative thinking (which I discuss further below).
In my judgment, American politics is downstream from American culture. Because American culture is permeated with the tragic anti-body heritage in our Western cultural history, I here put American culture in the forefront of how we Americans today need to proceed to combat our American tragic anti-body heritage and thereby transform not only American culture today, but also American politics today.
Unfortunately, our tragic American anti-body heritage is manifested in American culture today by the strong bias against porn videos that are available free on the internet and also against porn DVDs. The retired pornstar Bree Olson, discussed below, has poignantly describe how, as she transitions into regular acting in regular Hollywood movies, she feels that many Americans today treat her as though she were a "pedophile." The graphic word that Bree Olson uses shows that the anti-body heritage in our American culture today is, unfortunately, still alive and well. This in turn also shows why it is important for me here to emphasize my attention to American culture today and my advocacy of mom-son porn videos that are free on the internet as the requirement antidote for American boys and men of all ages to help them counter the anti-body heritage in their psyches.
