Fr. De Cock (I know!) just received his doctorate at Catholic University of Louvain with a work "Touched to Love. An Attempt at a Theological Anthropology of the Body and Homosexuality."

Sounds to me like it could be another twist(ed) attempt in the ongoing interpretation of Theology of the Body.

New Catholic at Rorate Caeli has the story.
Louvain no less. Sounds like he is posied to be hired at America Magazine!
ReplyDeleteTell me again why we don't need an Inquisition.
ReplyDeleteThe picture itself is scary enough...his theology is even scarier.
ReplyDeleteHoly Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.
The photo seriously looks like a mug shot.
ReplyDeleteOh gee. I would never go to confession with him. If I didn't know he was a priest I'd cry if he came near me. That's one dead eyed man.
ReplyDeleteCigarette smokers die 8 years sooner than non-smokers.
ReplyDeleteMale homosexuals die 12 years sooner than smokers?
We spend billions of dollars getting people to quit smoking and have banned it from almost all public places?
Why are we expected to celebrate and approve of homosexuals and their lifestyles?
Wow, Ray, that is a really insightful and great point! Touche'
ReplyDeleteoh man, Terry, I have recently read up on all this interpretations of Theology of the body..especially that Christopher West dude. I had no idea. Alice Von Hildebrand is totally correct. I can't understand how Janet Smith can support it -- unless she had only read bits and pieces that sounded OK (as I had earlier). But really digging in and reading his stuff (which offends modest souls, btw), the thought occured to me several times, that this twisted perversion of logic he uses could easily be applied to justify homosexuality. Et, voila! Monsieur Pere De Cock (I know)!
I am not making any acusations, but his photo looks not unlike the men on the Kansas State sexual preditators web page. I won't link to it, trust me, he does.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't let him near my children for confession much less anything else.
Hey, do you think a contracepting couple could get an absolution from him? That's the true mark of a traitor Catholic.
The keffiyeh? Solidarity, available at Macy's. Or is it just priestly pashmina.

ReplyDeleteHis name really is De Cock???
I'm headed over to the Catholic Caveman's 'blog right now, because I'm sure he's going to have something on this! =P
That's a very good point Ray.
