Catholics often say the Church’s teaching on homosexuality is timeless—unchanging since the beginning. But what if that’s not true? In this episode, I uncover how modern pseudoscience and the ex-gay movement shaped official Church documents, the Catechism, and the lives of countless LGBTQ+ Catholics. From Freud to Courage International, from Christopher West to Vatican councils, I trace how a pyramid scheme of pseudo-theology and therapy continues to harm queer Catholics today—and why it’s time to question the very foundation of these teachings.00:00 Christopher West and the Pseudoscience03:16 The Ex-Gay Narrative and Psychoanalysis04:33 Influential Figures in the Ex-Gay Movement11:14 The Church's Official Documents on Homosexuality13:34 The Impact of Pseudo-Freudian Theories26:50 The Pyramid Scheme of Catholic Orthodoxy32:37 Challenges and Resistance to Change38:50 Personal Reflections and Experiences40:37 A Call for Change and Hope for the Future
