Expressions of anarchic freedom

God's Rotweiller has issued a condemnation of homosexuality as "expressions of anarchic freedom which falsely tries to pass itself off as the true liberation of man". The elipsis presumably being that a religious heirarchy frequently founded on abuse of power and justified by an inflexible patriarchal dogma, itself derived the translation (English) of a translation (Ancient Greek) of reported statements (in Aramaic) of an apparent historical figure somehow provides "true liberation". His pronouncements on "the nature of love itself" seem not to account for the irony that celibate unmarried "priests" are deemed best qualified to understand and express experience they do not and can not have. A profound moment of spiritual double-think here, that "liberation" is not based on "freedom" but servitude to human interpretations of the "Word of God" (a "word" that mentions neither priest, pope, or church throughout the entire New Testament): apparently enforcing our own limits of understanding liberates one from having to be free.
