At a study day last month held by the Swiss Bishops’ Conference, attendees discussed how to overcome the Church’s “old-fashioned ideals” on marriage and family, according to the official report from the meeting…. was organized by none other than the pro-homosexual activist, Dr. Arnd Bünker, who had a dominant influence on the Swiss Bishops’ Synod reports to Rome in 2014 and 2015…
*The importance of marriage and the family should not be made absolute in such a manner, that the Church cannot get to recognize and appreciate the “individual people and their individual biographies, also their biographies in the Faith and in vocations.”
*The Bible cannot give direct answers to the questions of today concerning partnership, marriage and the family. The story of God with man often went contrary to the then-valid ideals of the family. God’s history with mankind has always found “liberating perspectives…”
*The Church should come to a “recognition and appreciation of relationships which do not any more correspond to the old-fashioned ideal which comes from another period of time, for example remarried divorcees or same-sex partnerships.”
*The Church should come to “officially recognize a second marriage after a failure,” similar to the Orthodox Church whose practice the Catholic Church “never condemned.” This should be done “because the salvation of the people is the highest criterion of the Church’s legal practice.”
This is all free resources, from the tolerance of everything aberrant to the lack of care for the familial structures children are raised in. Every child will get food, they just need to be raised to the point they can function on their own. Once that dopamine hits, the amygdala shuts down, and the psychologies begin to shift, it is very difficult to explain logic to them.
When the resources are there, fighting is noble, and can slow the slide, to the extent that conflict will turn people K to some degree. But over time, free resources and the shift to r is like a tide. It has to peak, the resources have to go away, and then is when things will return to normal naturally. It is also when fighting for the K-strategy will have maximal effect. If you know this, you can apply your resources to the battle more strategically, and have greater effect.
Donald Trump would not have done so well during the dot-com boom, had he run. Now, he is off to the races, and can do no wrong. Conversely, George W. Bush could have turned the nation sharply K after 9/11, but obviously the Bush family is not as into that as you’d think.
