.. Physician expelled from staff for telling the truth about homosexual behavior .."

On March 30, a major Harvard-affiliated hospital in Boston, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC), expelled a well-respected urologist from its medical staff because he voiced concerns about the unhealthy nature of homosexual behavior and objected to the hospital’s aggressive promotion of “gay pride” activities.

People trust the medical profession to protect them – on both the personal and public health levels. But in recent years, a nightmare has taken hold. Now, a medical doctor is being expelled from his hospital for telling the politically-incorrect truth about a serious medical issue. What you are about to read is truly Orwellian.

Dr. Paul Church has been a urologist on the BIDMC staff in Boston for nearly 30 years. He is a member of the Harvard Medical School faculty. He has done research on diagnosing prostate and bladder cancer, and has been a frequent volunteer for medical mission projects in Mexico and Africa. He has also spoken before educational and civic groups on the subject of high-risk sexual behaviors.

Voicing serious medical (and moral) concerns

Over a decade ago, Dr. Church became concerned about the hospital’s aggressive promotion of and involvement in LGBT activities -- including Boston’s annual “Gay Pride Week” – and its emphatic push for staff participation in them. He felt compelled to speak out.

Through emails to hospital officials and later posting on the hospital’s Intranet system, Dr. Church cited irrefutable medical evidence that high-risk sexual practices common to the LGBT community lead to (among other things) a higher incidence of HIV/AIDS, STD's, hepatitis, parasitic infections, anal cancers, and psychiatric disorders.

Promoting such behavior, he said, is contrary to the higher mission of the healthcare facility to protect the public welfare and encourage healthy lifestyles. Dr. Church also reminded the administration that its staff and employees represent a diversity of moral and religious views, and many believe that homosexuality is unnatural and immoral.

Response by the hospital: Attempts to silence and censor Dr. Church

The hospital did not at any time dispute the truth of his medical statements, nor did they address his other concerns.

They did not claim that Dr. Church ever discussed this with patients, or treated patients any differently if they were involved with these behaviors.

Instead Dr. Church was met with increasingly harsh efforts by the hospital administration to silence and censor him. They told him that his admonitions about homosexual behavior constituted “discrimination and harassment,” were “offensive to BIDMC staff,” and could not be tolerated.

In July 2011, he was called into the Chief of Surgery’s office and told he should consider resigning or else he would face an investigation. He refused to resign. So a few months later a formal “Peer Review Committee” of BIDMC staff physicians was called together to “assess” his “conduct.” He again presented them with the medical facts, which they did not dispute, but ignored. The committee instead sent him a “letter of reprimand” ordering, “You shall have no communications [in any manner, to anyone in the hospital] concerning your opinion about sexual orientation, homosexuality, or other protected status.”

It was an unusual order – that a physician be banned from discussing critical medical facts relating to his expertise, that could affect the health of people the hospital serves.

Dr. Church subsequently requested that the hospital not send any more promotions about LGBT activities to his email or hospital web connection. The hospital refused that request and continued sending them to him. (They rejected the idea that these communications constituted a religious-based harassment of Dr. Church, or the possibility that such a “gag order” was illegal.)

As the emails and postings sent to Dr. Church by the hospital grew more frequent — as BIDMC’s LGBT activities expanded — he again voiced his concerns via a brief posted comment on one occasion in 2013 and twice in 2014.

Dr. Church is expelled from the staff

The hospital reacted with vehemence. In September 2014 a special “Investigating Committee” was assembled to investigate him. “Charges” were brought against him.

But also, over the next few months the Investigating Committee and BIDMC’s president received an outpouring of letters from colleagues, ethicists, public health experts, and others supporting Dr. Church and his advocacy for healthy behaviors. But the committee was not moved by the concerns of Dr. Church or those who wrote letters on his behalf.

In January 2015 the Investigating Committee submitted its findings to the hospital’s highest body and most prominent group, the 25-member Medical Executive Committee, which then met in February to decide on Dr. Church's fate. At the meeting they allowed Dr. Church to read a statement defending himself.

On March 30, 2015, the Medical Executive Committee announced its decision. Dr. Church was informed that because of his “unsolicited views about homosexuality that were offensive to BIDMC Staff,” he was being terminated from the hospital staff. Further, he was told that that his statements on the subject of homosexuality were “inconsistent with the established standards of professional conduct” and constituted a violation of the hospital’s “Discrimination and Harassment Policy.” It was beyond belief.

Appeal hearing

According to the hospital’s bylaws, Dr. Church can ask for an appeal hearing, which he has done. It has been scheduled for the end of July. However, it is not a “legal” process per se, but completely run by hospital rules. Dr. Church can at least be accompanied by an attorney, which was not allowed in any of the previous hearings.

Given the way the hospital has handled this so far, the odds of a successful appeal are not good.

Is this the future for us all?

Dr. Church has essentially done what virtually no one in the pro-family establishment has been willing to do for at least a decade: unflinchingly tell the medical and moral truth about homosexual behavior. In our opinion, that failure is the main reason why we have lost so much ground in the courts, the public forum, and just about everywhere else.

And this is what it’s come to. The insanity of this decision by a major hospital against a respected physician is staggering. It is one thing for the education system, big business, or even government to succumb to the lunacy of “political correctness.” But when the medical profession do so – especially such an irrational and oppressive manner – it is time for all of us to be fearful. Is this the future?

If you do nothing else, make sure that Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center hears from you – and as many others as you can get -- on this. Dr. Church has put his career on the line for all of us. It’s time for us to step up for him.

Contact the president of BIDMC right now. Tell him this is an unacceptable way for a hospital to act. Dr. Church must be reinstated to his position immediately!

The purge of the South this week is equally or more disturbing

Yes, but perhaps only because more of us take note.

The war is on, already.

White cops who shoot black suspects (or for that matter, anyone who isn't black who harms a black, justified or not).

Christian Bakers...

Bikers, regardless of their past

Southerners who value their heritage and history, warts and all.

Gun owners (always, and still).

Doctors who won't toe the line on homosexuality

The new groups are being selected for the ovens, and any potential threat to the Marxists in our government is being Alinsky'd or eliminated by other means.

I know.....guess we will maybe one day see Waco truth....WacoII

The cops on blacks thing is mixed for me

What kind of hell did Newton go through when he said the Earth was round?

Credit where credit is due from about 200 BC:

Eratosthenes calculated the circumference of the Earth without leaving Egypt. Eratosthenes knew that at local noon on the summer solstice in the Ancient Egyptian city of Swenet (known in ancient Greek as Syene, and now as Aswan) on the Tropic of Cancer, the Sun would appear at the zenith, directly overhead. He knew this because he had been told that the shadow of someone looking down a deep well in Syene would block the reflection of the Sun at noon off the water at the bottom of the well. Using a gnomon, he measured the Sun's angle of elevation at noon on the solstice in Alexandria, and found it to be 1/50th of a circle (7°12') south of the zenith. He may have used a compass to measure the angle of the shadow cast by the Sun.[16] Assuming that the Earth was spherical (360°), and that Alexandria was due north of Syene, he concluded that the meridian arc distance from Alexandria to Syene must therefore be 1/50th of a circle's circumference, or 7°12'/360°.

His knowledge of the size of Egypt was founded on the work of many generations of surveying trips. Pharaonic bookkeepers gave a distance between Swenet and Alexandria of 5,000 stadia. Some say this distance was corroborated by inquiring about the time that it took to travel from Syene to Alexandria by camel. Carl Sagan says that Eratosthenes paid a man to walk and measure the distance. He rounded the result to a final value of 700 stadia per degree, which implies a circumference of 252,000 stadia. Some claim Erathostenes used the Egyptian stade of 157.5 meters, which would imply a circumference of 39,690 km, an error of 1.6%, but the 185 meter Attic stade is the most commonly accepted value for the length of the stade used by Eratosthenes in his measurements of the Earth,[17] which imply a circumference of 46,620 km, an error of 16.3%. It is unlikely, however, that Eratosthenes got an accurate measurement of the circumference of the Earth, given three errors in the assumptions he made:[16]

That Alexandria and Syene lie on the same meridian. That the distance between Alexandria and Syene is 5000 stades.

That the Earth is a sphere.

If we repeat Eratosthenes' calculation with more accurate data, the result is 40,074 km, which is 66 km different (0.16%) from the currently accepted circumference of the Earth.[16]

Seventeen hundred years after Eratosthenes' death, while Christopher Columbus studied what Eratosthenes had written about the size of the Earth, he chose to believe that the Earth's circumference was much smaller. Had Columbus set sail knowing that Eratosthenes' larger circumference value was more accurate, he would have known that the place where he made landfall was not Asia, but rather a New World.[18]

LOL——the Marxists would tear it down and put me on a scaffold, blindfolded and be able to get away with it because of the feral homosexuals who are no different than the Nazi SA and the Bolsheviks. Their dehumanizing habituated behaviors/”lifesyles” -—dehumanize and desensitize them—makes them hate and angry—esp. aimed at women and children.. (It is really God and Self they hate and their Slavery, but they don’t recognize Him).

Truth is “on the scaffold” today because of the massive brainwashing in the Prussian (Marxist) school system designed to destroy “thinking outside the box”. We need to take the minds of our children OUT of the Marxist brainwashing machine, which is injecting Moral Relativism and Lies, and creating fixation in puerile stages of pure emotion, so they are just a feral mob, devoid of Reason, for the eilites to control.. (Libido Dominandi) Vices make you a political pawn—and when they are sexual vices—like with Roberts and Epstein (Clinton/Dershowitz)-—you are a puppet/slave to the Elite for Life).

We need” Truth off the scaffold and back in the Throne and back in our COURTS. It is the basis of Justice—Truth and Right Reason and Natural Law!!!!. Without Knowledge and all the Virtues (Wisdom is worthless w/o Courage), and the willingness to Fight for Truth in the Public Square, we will lose to the homofascists as Fr. Oko calls the ones which infiltrated the Catholic Church.

MOST textbooks should be DUMPED (they are funded by CAIR, sodomites) -—particularly all the Neo-Freudian stuff that sexualizes children during latency to warp all emotions and desires, and how they “see” the Other and parents and authority...etc. It destroys the Innocence, Dignity of Man and reduces them to animal, and destroys the Wonder in children which should NEVER be squashed.

That is the Christian hallmark of Hope and Joy and Romance. No other cultures had it. Christian Education lights the fire in the heart and creates the Mystery and Wonder which drives man to Know. As Socrates knew—Education is lighting the fire inside the child, not filling up a vessel from outside (Outcome-Based “education” is ALL brainwashing-—it is all based on Marxist Theory to destroy Individualism and critical thinking skills).

Back to what worked-—Horatio Algers (Teaching the Virtues and instilling them, with the proper Literature which glorifies the Good and Truth). Classical Education gives ones the TOOLS so they can be “critical thinkers” (Socratic Method, Aristotelian Logic, Euclidean Proofs, etc). John Dewey, the evil, Humanist Socialist destroyed curricula in the 20s and 30s and Jimmy Carter nationalized it and forced it onto every mind in public schools. Even Catholic schools succumbed to the Modernism by the 50s—to drop their superior curricula for brainwashing and sexualization materials, that warp children and force them into another religion—like paganism or Mother Earth Worship.

If you study history like I do-—there is always the Leviathan to Slavery in every “culture”-—then chaos, and then Tyranny. It is because the boys are emasculated and are given everything for nothing and taught to be dependent, a “group thinker”, adverse to risk, and conditioned into instant gratification (no virtues). Without Virtue, culture collapse.

The soft tyranny of the Cultural Marxists was more gradual since it entailed massive conditioning of generations of children to erase Individuality and make parents amendable to giving young children to the State to condition into Slavery and implant pagan ethics, and destroy Risk (all virtue) so they have to conform to be liked or famous or rich—matches the Satanic worldview.

If you disagree with the “Skull and Bones” mentality-—worship of the goat-god which entails sodomy—you are demeaned, destroyed, silenced and put on the altar of Ba’al.

All through history-—people who KNEW the TRUTH were killed —for the Truth.....like Jesus, Socrates, Cicero, or exiled like Dostoevsky, Solzhenitsyn, Victor Hugo, John Locke, Adam Smith, etc. etc. etc.———it is the same today.

Satanic worldview which took over America with John Dewey and the “Progressives” (Marxists) by subversion, just got TOTAL control of ALL our institutions. with the last 10 years of “rulings” by the Oligarchy that Jefferson warned us about hundreds of years ago. We no longer have a Constitution.
