As a psychologist, the level of utter DENIAL involved is rivaled only, in my experience, by decades long addicted alcoholics. Evidently addictionis to idolatry, blasphemy etc. are every bit as demonized and tough to crack.
As a psychiatric nurse, let me say that I have never ever seen any psychologist in clinical practice who was a bigot against Catholics. Nor did any psychologist, nor psychiatrist, ever indicate that s/he thought of the Rosary as addictive behavior. Nor have I seen any Christian psychiatrist or psychologist in practice EVER describe any client's Catholic belief and practice as an addiction to idolatry, blasphemy, or demonic.
These are some of the reasons why I find it hard to believe that there is any truth to the assertion, made multiple times, that there is any psychology behind those bigoted statements. More likely, in my rather wide exposure to mental health professionals, in my capacity as a nurse, there is an attempted masquerade taking place. Not very successfully, nevertheless.
Well then you haven’t been exposed to much if you haven’t heard or seen this...but then again maybe your weren’t told if your reaction to anything that might be offensive to catholics is like it is here on these threads...and is your conduct in the workplace...your opinion would clearly be avoided by any extreme necessary so as not to disturb the patient.
Somehow, you manage to make
horrifically WRONG
hilarious.
Most professionals are ‘addicted’ to professional games for one reason or another.
I never bought into such games.
