I agree with your post. I submit that you missed just one point, that Henk Heithaus was a victim of abuse while a minor in the care of Catholic institutions.
Now look at two of your own five points:
“Henk Heithaus-— had this done [castration - triple] to him at a psychiatric institution sponsored by the Catholic Church. One, “and possibly nine others.” “ - MD
“In fact, castration for eugenic, psychotherapeutic or punitive purposes, is forbidden by the moral doctrines of the Catholic Church.” - MD
From what I've read from various sources,- A boy growing up in Catholic care was sexually abused; the criminals who abused him were reported by Catholics who made sure they were prosecuted and imprisoned; and the victim of abuse was later castrated while resident in a Catholic institution to "treat" a sexual disorder, in accord with psychiatric doctrines of the time, and an violation of Catholic doctrines then as now.
Further inquiry into the reprehensible details of this story (including the aspect of a Catholic institution operating in Heithuis' case in violation of Catholic doctrine) is impeded by the fact that the people involved have been dead for two generations.
Nobody can justify this: it is utterly repugnant morally, medically and religiously.
My point is that this revolting incident, evil in itself, is being used worldwide to defame something which is not evil: the Catholic Church in its millionfold holy doctrines, people, and ministries.
The deeds done against Henk Heithuis are damnable, and it is precisely the Catholic Church that teaches that they are damnable. Those who use this to globally defame the Church have as their larger agenda the destruction of faith and morals, teachings and ministries of Catholics everywhere.
How can I say that? Because the worldwide headlines are not "Psychiatrists castrated boys," but "The Catholic Church castrated...">
The "Catholic Church" did nothing of the sort.
I detest broad-brush slanders and defamatory lies. I presume you do, too.
Are we finished with that now?
Again, referencing the text from this article:
From 1938 to 1968 in the Netherlands, after a decade of debates, 400 sex offenders who had been committed to asylums for the criminally insane were ‘voluntarily’ and ‘therapeutically’ castrated.
IOW, he chose castration, not the Catholic Church ... period.
