Book Reviews
Review by Dr Pravin Thevathasan
Pope Benedict XVI describes the author of this truly remarkable work as a "brave
warrior against ideologies that will ultimately result in the destruction of man". The book describes the
manner in which the secularists are destroying the family by promoting their version of freedom, a freedom at variance
with Christian liberty. This helps explain why individuals who attempt to promote values that were once considered
the norm are being persecuted. The secularists want to criminalize those who oppose their agenda, all in the name
of "freedom".
The family was able to withstand the onslaughts of Marxism and Nazism but is collapsing
under the spell of what one speaker at the recent Synod on the Family referred to as cultural Marxism. "Gender
Mainstreaming" is being encouraged and terms such as "father" and "mother" are being discarded.
Kuby argues that this will inevitably have a negative impact on the family, on children and on society. When our
identities as male and female are discarded, the sexual order will collapse. To help facilitate this collapse,
children are being taught that all kinds of sexual orientations are equally valid.
In his Forward to the book, the great philosopher Robert Spaemann notes that the
concept of political freedom was conceived in ancient Greece in order to allow people to live according to their
custom. The tyrant was the one who imposed his views on others. In a certain sense, we may say that we are living
under a secularist dictatorship.
The trailblazers of the sexual revolution are discussed. They include Margaret
Sanger, Alfred Kinsey, Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, Wilhelm Reich, Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung and Simone de Beauvoir.
The Club of Rome, which has had a certain negative impact on the Church of Rome, is mentioned as is the enormously
influential Frankfurt School, whose members include Theodor Adorno, Herbert Marcuse and Max Horkheimer.
Population control is discussed in some detail. Kuby notes that in May 2009, some
of the richest men in the world, including Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, George Soros, David Rockefeller and Michael
Bloomberg met in New York to discuss the best means of ridding the world of poverty. One means put forward was
the promotion of "reproductive health services" and for this purpose, they founded the Good Club!
So we see a new totalitarianism developing under the guise of freedom. Thanks to
this excellent work, we have been warned.
I am grateful to the editor of Catholic Medical Quarterly for permision to reproduce the
above review which will appear in a forthcoming issue.
Review by Steve Weatherbe
December 15, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) – Published this week is the first English translation
of The Global Sexual Revolution: the Destruction of Freedom in the Name of Freedom, which details and dissects
the insidious and totalitarian promotion by cultural elites and governments of sexual perversity and the destruction
of the traditional Christian family. The author is Gabriele Kuby, a sociologist and adult convert to Christianity
whom Pope Benedict XVI described as "a brave warrior against ideologies that ultimately result in the destruction
of man."
Benedict's comment (found in the preface to the original edition published in German and translated in the new
version) reminds us chillingly how far those ideologies have advanced – to the very doors of the Vatican – in a
short time since his resignation.
Kuby's grand and magisterial sweep of a book does not need an update, but the new edition does provide a survey
of cases in Europe and the U.S. of government enforcement of the new sexual ideology with fines, threats, and actual
imprisonments of Christian holdouts.
Kuby says the homosexual "rights" movement drives the ideology, but the problem also presents itself
as radical feminism and, increasingly, gender fluidity and transgenderism. Its goal, she says, "is absolute
freedom, unfettered by any natural or moral limitations."
The great liberal ideal, writes Kuby, has shifted from the political arena through the economic to the sexual.
The revolutionaries seek not the destruction of feudalism, monarchies, or capitalism, but the "tyranny of
nature." They strip masculinity and femininity of their normative meaning in the name of freedom and pleasure.
The term homophobia was "coined in the late 1960s by psychoanalyst and homosexual activist George Weinberg
to make people who reject homosexuality appear mentally ill."
According to Kuby, "the concrete weapons in this war include deconstruction of male-female sexuality, alteration
of the population's social norms and attitudes (especially among youth), complete legal equivalency of homosexual
partnership with marriage, and even social ostracism and legal criminalization of any opposition to these new 'norms.'"
Kuby chronicles the intellectual infiltration and conquest of virtually all other value-making institutions, leaving
Christianity and its individual members standing virtually alone in the public square. Their message that sex is
a powerful force that must be regulated and linked to the inherently sacrificial institution of marriage and family
is now persecuted – and prosecuted – as homophobic.
In a book that moves seamlessly from details to the big picture, it is no surprise to find the actual origins of
the term "homophobia" explained and critiqued. It was, Kuby reports, "coined in the late 1960s by
psychoanalyst and homosexual activist George Weinberg to make people who reject homosexuality appear mentally ill."
The Orwellian revolution in thinking this represents (homosexuality was considered
a mental illness; now those who think this are themselves considered mentally ill) goes well beyond homosexuality,
we learn from Kuby. In Germany, the entire language is being reconstructed to free it from male-dominated pronouns,
while in Europe and America, gendered terms such as "mother" and "father" are increasingly
being expunged from official record-keeping.
Kuby asserts that the nuclear family has resisted previous totalitarian exercises such as Marxism and Nazism and
provided the source of regeneration when they collapsed: "After every catastrophe, the green growth of Christianity
sprouted back, eventually in the unification of Europe on the bedrock of its Christian founders' higher values."
And it is happening again: she relates the rise across Europe of popular pro-family movements in the past decade
and makes passing reference to similar responses in the U.S.
If these movements fail, Kuby predicts that the truly tolerant, liberal societies of Europe and the English-speaking
world must fail, too. She cites a former constitutional judge in Germany, Ernst-Wolfgang Böckenförde,
to make her point. "A liberal state," he once wrote, "can only survive if the freedom it grants
its citizens is regulated from the inside through the moral substance of the individual and the homogeneousness
of the society." If the state must force its definition of freedom by restrictive laws and prison sentences,
says the judge, it is no longer liberal.
The Founding Fathers of the United States similarly believed that the democracy they were creating depended on
the moral development provided individual Americans by their diverse Christian churches, even though many of those
founders were far from being orthodox, if they were Christians at all.
Kuby, therefore, is warning against not merely the newly powerful ideology of pansexualism, but also the insidious
return of totalitarianism, of the wolf clothed as a lamb, and of the tyrant masked as a defender of freedom.
