Anna Kolesárová. The manifestation of a disease called religion. Psychology: The Catholic Church is a sect. Anna Kolesárová
I, as the author of this article , am a person who presents the psychology of the future. This article will be psychological. Using the case of Anna Kolesárová as an example , it will help to understand the pathology of religion, the pathology of a religious person.
(A side note: I'll digress a bit from the topic right at the beginning: the mainstream of psychology is also quite critical of religion. When I typed "psychology religion" into Google, articles appeared that referred to scientific studies that evaluated religion critically. I didn't find anything positive about religion. It's good that psychology, as an official science, is also waking up, albeit slowly. If I ever find the time in the distant future, I can summarize the findings of psychology on the pathology of religion in an article or video, which interested me the most).
Who was Anna Kolesárová?
Now we return to Anna Kolesárová. Who was Anna Kolesárová? Anna Kolesárová was a completely normal and ordinary girl whose tragic death was exploited for disgusting church propaganda. She refused sex with a drunken Soviet soldier from World War II, and he shot her for it. Her beatification was broadcast unconstitutionally on public television, which calls into question the secular state – in this way, we certainly cannot be a role model for Muslim countries in a secular state. But back to the point.
Kolesárová was beatified in contradiction to the official teaching of the Catholic Church
A very important fact is that Kolesárová was beatified in contradiction to the official teaching of the Catholic Church. In the Catholic Church, there are very clear rules for beatification and canonization. A person can be beatified only if they are an above-average role model in Christian life or if someone dies a martyr's death for their faith. However, the Soviet soldier did not shoot Anna because she was a Christian! The violation of the Catholic Church's teaching in the beatification is more than clear and obvious here, and it is not possible to discuss this or that interpretation.
Kolesárová was designated by the church as a "martyr of purity". For non-religious people, the word purity in Catholic circles refers to sexual abstinence, as the basis of the Catholic faith is a war against sexuality as such . The Catholic faith forbids absolutely everything about sexuality: it forbids contraception, masturbation, premarital sex, ejaculation outside the vagina, oral sex, interrupted prolonged intercourse, divorce, any sexual aids, and homosexuality. Practicing believers put all their energy into observing these rules. The only thing the Catholic Church allows is sex exclusively for the purpose of reproduction, and even then only within a marital union blessed by a Catholic ceremony. Let someone tell me that there is any difference between a sect and a religion!!!
But back to the point. The fact that Anka Kolesárová refused sex with a smelly, unwashed, drunk soldier who hadn't washed his clothes in a year is nothing out of the ordinary. Refusing sex with such a soldier is really not Christian. An atheist or a "satanist" would have done the same. It was really hard to resist such a sexy soldier – that's just my ironic remark.
But now we get to the heart of the matter, what I want to say with the above. What surprises me most is that despite the fact that Anna Kolesárová was beatified in very clear contradiction to the teaching of the Catholic Church, I have not seen anyone among the faithful, whether on social networks or blogs, protest against it. And I especially want to point out that the teaching of the Catholic Church is followed extremely strictly, no one dares to deviate even a millimeter from the official line. In the case of Kolesárová's beatification, this somehow does not apply under mysterious circumstances. On the contrary, an incomprehensible unity arose among the faithful that the beatification was correct. This matter remains a great mystery. But we will solve this mystery in the following parts of the article.
As a philosopher criticizing Christianity, I would prefer Christians to completely free themselves from the slavery of religion, but I do not ask this of them, because that would be a huge change in their world of thought. I am much more troubled by a pathological phenomenon that can be observed in Christians, and that is their two main attributes. The first attribute is the inability to see anything critical in the church, the inability to see any flaws, the inability to criticize anything in the church. Catholics look at all things in the church through double rose-tinted glasses. Part of the Catholic faith is the belief that everything in the church is ideal and perfect, whether it concerns individuals, priests, bishops, or general conditions in the church. And this applies absolutely generally, not just to Anka Kolesárová. The basis of the Christian faith is to deceive oneself that there are no flaws in the church and an extremely strong ability to cover one's eyes from any flaws, an inability to admit even cosmetic flaws. In the Church, time has been moved back many years – in the past, a person was burned for criticizing the church, but this mentality is still in the church today. While in the past, when the monarchy still existed, a person would have been executed for criticizing the state, monarchy, or church, in the church, time has moved on, and to this day there is an extremely strong mentality of not criticizing anything and an inability to see even cosmetic flaws within the church.
The second main attribute of a believer is the sheep syndrome , that all believers are perfect copies, a perfect mass, perfect sheep . Although Catholic teaching allows for different opinions on certain theological matters, for example, whether the Catholic faith should be unilaterally focused on the war against abortion and sexuality or also focus on something else, in practice we see that believers cannot have their own opinion. The basis of the Catholic faith is not to have one's own opinion. Believers are like banknotes – all banknotes are perfectly identical – anyone who has a different opinion than the majority is considered a counterfeit banknote that needs to be criminalized and destroyed – examples are Michal Lajcha or Jan Rozek. The pathological unity of believers in the case of Anna Kolesárová is deplorable – it is a manifestation of the fact that only a personally sick person can become a Catholic. A Catholic is not a human being, not a creature – a Catholic is a thoughtless machine, a perfect copy that works on the programs of religion.
More on the pathological non-protesting of believers in the case of Anna Kolesárová
Anna Kolesárová is proof of how easily priests or bishops can manipulate believers, even if it is contrary to the teachings of the Catholic Church. The basis of a Catholic's faith is obedience. In Catholic theology, obedience is very often emphasized. To be obedient to a priest or bishop means to be obedient to God. A Catholic is dependent on higher authorities to whom they submissively submit.
Another reason why the beatification, contrary to the teaching of the church, was well received by the faithful is that Kolesárová became a symbol of the core of the Catholic faith, which is war and resistance against sexuality.
Furthermore, it is very sad that believers have fallen so low that non-religious people have to point out the mistakes in the church. I greatly appreciate several brave and courageous journalists from Denník N, Denník SME, and other media who criticized this disgusting cult of Anna Kolesárová. This ordinary girl, her tragic death, was exploited for church propaganda in the war against sexuality.
It is a very strange paradox – first and foremost, believers themselves should care about the good of their own church, but it was secular people who had to point out that something stinks here. This is clear evidence that a personally healthy person cannot become a religious believer . It is proof of the personality pathology of a religious person.
Controversial priest Pavol Hudák versus Anna Kolesárová
The most prominent personality who pushed for the beatification of Anna Kolesárová in the church was the controversial priest Pavol Hudák. Let's talk a little more about him. Pavol Hudák has a strange quirk: he is famous throughout Slovakia mainly for his lectures on sexuality. Lecturing on sexuality is what characterizes him most. I honestly feel sorry for this priest – he degrades himself, he makes a fool of himself. A Catholic priest who lives in celibacy, who has never had sex in his life, is not at all suited to lecture on the one-sided topic of sexuality. But on YouTube, you can find hundreds of his lectures on sexuality.
However, Pavol Hudák is also known for something else. In the village of Vysoká nad Uhlom, where Kolesárová also comes from, he founded his own Christian community, Domček . In other articles or videos, I draw attention to the problem of Christian communities – it is a church within a church, it is not an exaggeration to say that these are sectarian associations within the church. Mostly, religious fanaticism is cultivated in these communities. The power of infiltrated sects within the Catholic Church cannot be underestimated. One sect managed to control the entire Catholic Church by succeeding in promoting the beatification of Anka Kolesárová . No sect can be underestimated. Every sect has an impact on the whole society, and it does not matter whether it is a Catholic sect, Jehovah's Witnesses or some esoteric sect. I see the greatest danger in Catholic Christian communities, because they have a very sophisticated crowd psychology, they are able to create very strong and manipulative egregors, which are collective energy fields. It can be said that fanatical Christian communities have already taken over the mainstream of the Catholic Church. A great lesson from the case of Anna Kolesárová is that the power of Christian communities cannot be underestimated.
About contraception
Although contraception is not the main topic of this article, I will now focus on it.
It is regrettable when I hear some Christian sheep talking among themselves about contraception. It is very sad that these people considered the strict ban on contraception to be something completely obvious, resolved, closed, something that no longer needs to be considered and only needs to be observed. It is very sad that these people never once asked themselves whether the ban on contraception in the church is not somewhat strange.
We all know that overpopulation is a serious problem. However, the Catholic Church has only one solution, and that is sexual abstinence, or sex exclusively within marriage. If you talk to a Catholic about contraception, they will start arguing that we are dying out in Europe. Just to set the record straight, Europe is just a small dot on our planet; everywhere else on the planet, the problem is exactly the opposite. Instead of the Catholic Church massively promoting contraception and distributing condoms in developing countries, it will, on the contrary, scare its flock that they will go to hell if they use contraceptive methods such as ejaculation outside the woman's vagina.
Furthermore, Catholic believers do not even consider a possible reform of the church in the area of contraception. This is labeled as dangerous liberal currents in the church that seek to destroy the church. The ban on contraception is considered a perfect, immutable, unchangeable teaching of the church, which is natural, which was directly ordained by God. Everything in the church is already perfect, so no change is possible. A very sick mentality of believers.
Believers have a very strong conviction that all the teachings of the church are absolutely immutable. However, they have forgotten that the teachings of the church have changed and reformed many times throughout history. A prime example is the Second Vatican Council, when the church underwent truly major changes.
The ban on contraception has no basis in the Bible, but this does not bother believers with the "sheep syndrome" at all.
