THE FOLLOWING EXCERPTS DESCRIBE THE OFFICIAL ROMAN CATHOLIC TEACHING ON CERTAIN PERTINENT SUBJECTS. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING EXCERPTS AND INDICATE IF YOU AGREE OR DISAGREE WITH THE STATEMENT. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO COMMENT ON EACH ONE IN THE FIELD PROVIDED.
"For just reasons, spouses may wish to space the birth of their children."… "Periodic continence, that is, the methods of birth regulation based on self-observation and the use of infertile periods, is in conformity with the objective criteria of morality."… " 'every action which, whether in anticipation of the conjugal act, or in its accomplishment, or in the development of its natural consequences, proposes, whether as an end or as a means, to render procreation impossible is intrinsically evil'." (Catechism 2368, 2370) Please indicate if you agree or disgree.Agree
In a so-called free union, a man and a woman refuse to give juridical and public form to a liaison involving sexual intimacy. The expression "free union" is fallacious: what can "union" mean when the partners make no commitment to one another, each exhibiting a lack of trust in the other, in himself, or in the future? The expression covers a number of different situations: concubinage, rejection of marriage as such, or inability to make long-term commitments. All these situations offend against the dignity of marriage; they destroy the very idea of the family; they weaken the sense of fidelity. They are contrary to the moral law. The sexual act must take place exclusively within marriage. Outside of marriage it always constitutes a grave sin and excludes one from sacramental communion. Some today claim a "right to trial marriage" where there is an intention of getting married later. However firm the purpose of those who engage in premature sexual relations may be, "the fact is that such liaisons can scarcely ensure mutual sincerity and fidelity in a relationship between a man and a woman, nor, especially, can they protect it from inconstancy of desires or whim." Carnal union is morally legitimate only when a definitive community of life between a man and a woman has been established. Human love does not tolerate "trial marriages." It demands a total and definitive gift of persons to one another." (Catechism , 2390, 2391)Agree
"Techniques that entail the dissociation of husband and wife, by the intrusion of a person other than the couple (donation of sperm or ovum, surrogate uterus), are gravely immoral. … Techniques involving only the married couple (homologous artificial insemination and fertilization) are perhaps less reprehensible, yet remain morally unacceptable. They dissociate the sexual act from the procreative act. The act which brings the child into existence is no longer an act by which two persons give themselves to one another, but one that 'entrust the life and identity of the embryo into the power of doctors and biologists and establishes the domination of technology over the origin and destiny of the human person. Such a relationship of domination is in itself contrary to the dignity and equality that must be common to parents and children'. … Only respect for the link between the meanings of the conjugal act and respect for the unity of the human being make possible procreation in conformity with the dignity of the person." (Catechism 2376, 2377)Agree
"From its conception, the child has the right to life. Direct abortion, that is, abortion willed as an end or as a means, is a "criminal" practice, gravely contrary to the moral law. … Because it should be treated as a person from conception, the embryo must be defended in its integrity cared for, and healed like every other human being. (Catechism 2322, 2324)Agree
The church recognizes a validly contracted sacramental marriage as indissoluble. In therapeutic practice, we are to presume the validity of a sacramental marriage "unless, after examination of the situation by the competent ecclesiastical tribunal, [the marriage is declared null, i.e., that the marriage never existed, in which case ] the contracting parties are free to [re]marry, provided the natural obligations of a previous union are discharged." (Catechism 1629) "The separation of spouses while maintaining the marriage bond can be legitimate in certain cases provided for by canon law." (Catechism 1649) "The remarriage of persons divorced from a living, lawful spouse contravenes the plan and law of God as taught by Christ. They are not separated from the Church, but they cannot receive Eucharistic communion." (Catechism 1665)Agree
"Intentional euthanasia, whatever its forms or motives, is murder. It is gravely contrary to the dignity of the human person and to the respect due to the living God, his Creator." (Catechism 2324)Agree
"Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that 'homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered.' They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarily. Under no circumstances can they be approved. The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. They do not choose their homosexual condition; for most of them it is a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. Homosexual persons are called to chastity. By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection." (Catechism 2357, 2358, 2359)Agree
New Age involves a fundamental belief in the perfectibility of the human person by means of a wide variety of techniques and therapies (as opposed to the Christian view of cooperation with divine grace). (2.3.4.1) It is difficult to separate the individual elements of New Age religiosity – innocent though they may appear – from the overarching framework which permeates the whole thought-world on the New Age movement. The gnostic nature of this movement calls us to judge it in its entirety. From the point of view of Christian faith, it is not possible to isolate some elements of New Age religiosity as acceptable to Christians, while rejecting others.
The New Age concept of God is rather diffuse, whereas the Christian concept is a very clear one. The New Age god is an impersonal energy, really a particular extension or component of the cosmos; god in this sense is the life force or soul of the world. … Even when “God” is something outside myself, it is there to be manipulated.This is very different from the Christian understanding of God as the maker of heaven and earth and the source of all personal life… God is not identified with the Life-principle understood as the “Spirit” or “basic energy” of the cosmos, but is that love which is absolutely different from the world, and yet creatively present in everything, and leading human beings to salvation.(Excerpted from “Jesus Christ the Bearer of the Water of Life: A Christian reflection on the “New Age”. (Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue)).
Common New Age practices include the use of enneagrams, labyrinths, reiki healing, yoga, transcendental meditation, healing by crystals, psychic healing, reflexolgoy, tarot cards, palm reading, recourse to mediums and psychics, fortune telling and contacting the dead. There are many other practices and techniques that go by various names that are variations of these basic practices and are similarly at odds with Christian faith and are therefore to be rejected.

Navy veteran and is a Lay Oblate of the Order of St. Benedict.
A profile of an expert witness regularly used by our esteemed courts, and permitted to practice by Colorado's Division of Regulatory Agencies
According to a four-year-old list of testimonials, Edwin Shockney —a purported Ph.D.— has participated in numerous criminal and insurance cases and, according to this Web site, has "testified in over 160 court proceedings as an expert witness," which, combined, could amount to tens of millions of dollars in settlements and jury verdicts based in whole or in part on Shockney's "expert" testimony.
For example, in Tcheskidova v. ITT Federal Services, Shockney's "expert" opinion and recommendation, which appears to be in the form of a diagnostic telephone evaluation, cited in a August 1, 2008 memorandum decision on page 6 and page 9, appears to have been material not only in causing Natalia Tcheskidova's employment to be terminated, but also in her case being dismissed. Shockney testified under oath that his "undergraduate was done at Ball State University, Indiana University, State University of New York, Crossroads College. Masters level was done at Crossroads College of Divinity. Graduate school was done at, the Ph.D. at Borean [sic.] College and Graduate School. I hold a B.A. in humanities, pre- medicine, an M.A. in counseling psychology, a Ph.D. in counseling psychology with political emphasis. I am board certified as a pain management trauma specialist. I'm licensed by the State of Colorado. I'm stipulated as an expert in state, federal, and military courts.
And, in McKenna v. Astrue, U.S. district judge Rob't Blackburn cited Shockney as a "consultative examiner," whose opinion had been rejected as unsupported by the record.
According to a Colorado Springs police report, the expert Shockney was charged with soliciting prostitution (specifically, asking a former therapeutic client for oral sex).1 The criminal case, No. 1996M012158, captionedPeople v. Shockney, (El Paso County Court), is classified by the court as "Closed/Suprressed."
A cover-letter from the detective, who prepared the report, indicates there also was another "previous allegation," which was assigned a case number by the Division of Regulatory Agencies of UT-00-10251. _____________________1 A few areas of interest are highlighted in yellow in the report; a few pink-colored highlight-comments are also inserted (hover cursor over highlight to see comment). According to this undated biography, Shockney claims that he:
attended Ball State University
attended Elkhart Institute of Technology
attended Indiana Technical College
attended Notre Dame University
attended Indiana University
obtained a B.A. from the State University of New York (SUNY)
obtained a B.A. in humanities/counseling from Indiana University
obtained a M.A. in counseling/psychology from SUNY
In addition, Shockney's application for license to the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies Division of Registrations also attests that he obtained the Masters and doctorate degrees mentioned above.
Aside from the fact that the aforesaid three documents aren't congruent, the following memoranda raise questions about Shockney's claimed credentials:
This memo from Ball State University establishes that Shockney attended for six months between '68 ~ '69 and earned no degree
This memo from Indiana Tech indicates that "Mr. Shockney has never attended Indiana Tech" and "Indiana Tech has never offered a degree in Medical Technology in its history as a University."
This enrollment verification from SUNY concludes that the school's archives contain no match for "Edwin Allen Shockney" with a 10-09-1950 d.o.b. as having attended the institution or received a degree therefrom.
This memo from Crossroads College states that, "I cannot find that [Mr. Shockney] attended Crossroads College . . . at any time."
This memo from the Accredation Commission for Senior Colleges and Universities states, "Berean College is not accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and Universities . . . They have not applied, and we have no information on them"
An November 20, 2008 email to KnowYourCourts.com from Joanne Wenzel with the State of California explains:
In response to your inquiry regarding Berean Christian College.
We do not have a listing in our database for Berean Christian College in Long Beach, California at all.
We do have a listing for a Berean Bible College that was located at 13609 Twin Peaks Road, Poway, California.
Berean Bible College was listed as a Religious Exempt institution from 1995 until 2003. As a religious exempt institution they were only allowed to offer programs directly related to the dogma of their church, that would preclude them from issuing a PhD. This particular school was, according to the database, offering a Bachelor of Theology degree, Basic Bible Diploma and a Graduate of Theology Certificate.
These articles of incorporation indicate that Mr. Shockney formed a Colorado non-profit corporation in 1996, named "Berean College," some five years after his claimed 1991 doctoral degree from that entity.
Thus, although, it appears that, not only did Shockney not earn a masters degree --at least as set forth in his proffered documents-- and, although it might also appear that he formed a corporation to award himself a Ph.D.,KnowYourCourts.com placed several calls to Mr. Shockney in an effort to obtain clarification. Shockney declined to return the calls, but his attorney, Elvin Gentry, told KnowYourCourts.com that these matters have already been presented to the local district attorney and the state's grievance board and that his client has been cleared. When asked if he could provide evidence of Mr. Shockney's degrees and accreditations, Gentry replied, "I am not in a position to do that and even if I was, I wouldn't."
It is illegal to use a bogus degrees in several states, including Washington, Oregon, Nevada, North Dakota, South Dakota, Texas, Illinois, Maine, New Jersey and Virginia.
Of course, Colorado citizens can rest easy, as the State Grievance Board is working day and night to protect the public and regulate the profession, as the following memo demonstrates:
[Mr.] Shockney's graduate school records are confidential and therefore not available to you . . . A doctorate education is not required for licensure as a professional counselor. You should also be aware that the terms "Ph.D." or "doctor" are not protected terms in Colorado. While [sic.] it is unethical to make representations to the public that you are a Ph.D. or doctor if you graduate from a college or university that is non-accredited, it is not illegal unless the representations you make are false.
When I was just a little girl -- a high school senior, actually -- several prestigious institutions of higher education tried to recruit me, including Princeton, Dartmouth, Villanova, Stanford and Northwestern. Judging from my blurry and drunken experience at CSU, it's unlikely I'd have graduated from any of them. But when I think of the myriad unexplored career opportunities I robbed myself of by *not* attending Northwestern...I mean, who knows what I'd have grown up to be after having been under this professor's nutty tutelage: a female mudwrestler...a live-sex show demonstrator...a man; heck, maybe even a tenured Professor of Quack Psychology and Holistic Perversion. Truly, a bottomless pit of wasted potential and missed opportunities; ah well...you know what they say: "shoulda, coulda, woulda." Me? I just dropped out of college with a terrible hangover, and grew up to be an ordinary wife, mother and angry conservative spider writer. But at least I didn't graduate Magna Cum Laude in jack-off science...although there is still time for me to get my degree in Advanced Potology. Que sera, sera. I accept in advance your thanks and gratitude for not illustrating this article.
By now you've likely heard about Northwestern University professor,Dr. J. Michael Bailey'sinvitationto "members of Chicago's fetish community," including an exhibitionist, to "educate" undergraduate students on the finer points of fetishism and sex toys. With over one hundred students in attendance, the 25-year old female exhibitionist disrobed below her waist, thus enabling her 45-year-old fiance to insert into her a mechanical sex device and stimulate her to orgasm. On WTTW'sChicago Tonight, the exhibitionist, her fiance, and one of the lecturers from Weird Chicago Tours explained that when they arrived at Bailey's class "a film was playing. It was a very graphic representation of a woman masturbating.... There was a woman's vagina, probably ten feet tall on the screen. There was moaning. It would be porno, basically." They shared that they had talked with Bailey about "doing a demonstration to show that the g-spot orgasm is actually real." One wonders how the United States flourished as a nation with so many young people having graduated from college without such an illuminating "education." Bailey's chicanery likely won't surprise Northwestern's administration: apparently, Bailey's been providing porn to students under the guise of "education" for years.Alice D. Dregeroffers the followingdescriptionof another sexcapade that Bailey offered his students, this time involving a male-to-female "transsexual" whose birth name wasChuck Kieltykabut who now goes by "Anjelica.":
Kieltyka also arranged with Bailey opportunities to present to students in his Human Sexuality class herself, her history, and her understanding of transsexuality. She says her ''lectures were an opportunity to do 'outreach'; to educate AND entertain'' As in the case of other guest speakers, these presentations took place after the regular class session and were optional but heavily attended; between 1994 and 2003, a total of several thousand Northwestern University students saw Kieltyka's annual appearances; In these presentations, held in a large auditorium to accommodate the class size, Kieltyka showed and explained a series of still images using overhead projection....Kieltyka also presented a short video compilation she had made....
No doubt to the surprise of Bailey's students, that video compilation actually begins with a pornographic segment Kieltyka had made for herself pre-SRS. In it, as Donna Summer sings ''Love to Love You Baby'' in the background, Chuck appears as a nude woman through use of prosthetics, including false breasts, a glued-on vulva (with his penis glued up inside his body), a female mask, and a platinum blonde wig.
The woman whom Chuck appears as masturbates through simulated finger-clitoral stimulation and through the use of a dildo attached to the floor; she straddles the dildo and thrusts up and down so that it looks as if the dildo is going in and out of her vagina. (It was actually going in and out of Chuck's anus.) Kieltyka overlaid an audio clip from a porn video in this segment to provide the sound of a woman reaching orgasm. Immediately after this segment, the compilation cuts to a postop scene of Anjelica standing topless in a bikini bottom and moccasins, looking radiant and being dramatically bathed in a Rushing water fall. She brushes back her long dark hair with her hand and motions to two nearby women unknown to her to also take off their tops. They decline.
Bailey had this to say about his recent decision to allow a live sex show: "My decision to say 'yes' reflected my inability to come up with a legitimate reason why students should not be able to watch such a demonstration." Any adult who is "unable" to come up with a legitimate reason not to host a live sex show for students is a moral ignoramus and unfit for teaching. Bailey describes his students as "open-minded grown ups rather than fragile children." Does Bailey seriously think that opposition to live sex shows in class grows out of the notion that college students are "fragile children"? Is he really that intellectually bankrupt? Or is this further evidence of his moral bankruptcy? Without making an explicit assertion, he is trying to divert attention from his corrupt and execrable decision by hinting that opposition derives from overprotective or puritanical impulses. Most people believe "grown-ups" are distinguished from children in part by their maturity and wisdom. Bailey demonstrates the maturity and wisdom of an adolescent. Only someone lost in spiritual darkness, as Bailey clearly is, could defend this. In his explanation as to why he proceeded with this controversial event, Bailey said he "was not in a mood to surrender to sex negativity and fear." Apparently, he feels no obligation to provide evidence for his suggestion that opposition to public acts of perversion -- in a classroom -- is motivated by "sex negativity and fear." A good argument could be made that it is "sex positivity" that drives opposition to live sex shows. Wisdom and respect for the sanctity of sexuality dictate that, among many things, sex acts are private acts. Four questions pop into my fragile, fearful, sex-negative mind:
What kind of perverse ideas did Bailey weave into classroom lectures and discussions?
Does he bear any moral culpability for undermining the moral development of the young people whose parents paid thousands of dollars for a Northwestern education?
Does he bear any moral culpability if this live sex show contributes in even a small way to a current or future porn addiction in one of his students?
Is Bailey complicit in the exploitation, degradation,and objectification of the obviously troubled young woman who demonstrated this act in front of scores of strangers?
Bailey reports that "'student feedback was uniformly positive.'" No surprise there. The burnished legacy ofAlfred Kinseyand his cultural progeny, the sexual revolutionaries of the 60's, burns bright at Northwestern University. The "Northwestern University independent student newspaper,"North by Northwestern, has included some articles that surely must warm the cockles of Bailey's darkened heart. For example, there is thearticlein the March 11 edition that offers suggestions for "eco-friendly fu**ing," which include "showering together" and using natural lubricants. And then there was the 2009articlethat suggests students have sex to de-stress during finals week. The author of that article was kind enough to include a link to a porn website that provides diagrams of and instructions for a variety of sexual positions. But that's not all from one of our most esteemed academic institutions. There's also SHAPE, which is, according to their website, a "student organization affiliated with Northwestern University Health Service that provides education, organizes events, and generates dialogue about sexual health and sexual assault. SHAPE's mission is to increase students' comfort surrounding sexuality, encouraging them to learn and adopt sexually healthy behaviors and to recognize and address unhealthy and dangerous behaviors and attitudes regarding sexuality." SHAPE members have contributed a sex column that appears in theNorth by Northwestern. In it, they have offered tips for havingsex during menstruation; tips on how to makeintercourse for virginscomfortable; explanations ofbondage, discipline, sadism, and masochism; help for college-induceddecreased libido; descriptions of orgasms;instructionson how to prolong ejaculation, whether to swallow semen, andhow tomake dorm rooms more conducive to sex. An initial feckless statement from the vice president for University Relations (no pun intended), Alan Cubbage, appeared to defend Bailey:
Northwestern University faculty members engage in teaching and research on a wide variety of topics, some of them controversial and at the leading edge of their respective disciplines....The University supports the efforts of its faculty to further the advancement of knowledge.
But perhaps wiser heads will prevail. On Thursday, Northwestern PresidentMorton Schapiroissued this statement:
I have recently learned of the after-class activity associated with Prof. Michael Bailey's Human Sexuality class, and I am troubled and disappointed by what occurred.
Although the incident took place in an after-class session that students were not required to attend and students were advised in advance, several times, of the explicit nature of the activity, I feel it represented extremely poor judgment on the part of our faculty member. I simply do not believe this was appropriate, necessary or in keeping with Northwestern University's academic mission.
Northwestern faculty members engage in teaching and research on a wide variety of topics, some of them controversial. That is the nature of a university. However, in this instance, I have directed that we investigate fully the specifics of this incident, and also clarify what constitutes appropriate pedagogy, both in this instance and in the future.
Many members of the Northwestern community are disturbed by what took place on our campus. So am I.
Our nation's best and brightest deserve better. They deserve an academic experience worthy of Northwestern's motto:Quaecumque Sunt Vera, which comes from the New Testament and means "Whatsoever things are true." Paul wrote in Philippians 4:8: "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." Northwestern should recommit to their motto, and dump Bailey.
