text: Everyone makes it up as they go along. They mean well and may even feel inspired. I certainly do when I speak the truth to our modern sexual pharisees. So, yes, I claim the same inspiration as other prophets, as do all of us who stand against the errors of the clergy on sex. My confirmation is as valid as yours and I don't need a credential to speak the truth from reason and inspiration. As for Leviticus, I cite as my authority the cultural analysis of Mary Douglas. I studied that theory directly from her co-author, Aaron Wildavsky. The hierarchy assumes that hierarchy is the natural way of life for everyone, especially Catholics. Happily, that is not the case. Anyone who has studied the history of sacred continence in the Church has the same reaction, that it is a stoic artifact and not of Christ. It destroys the authority of the Church in sexual matters, so it is funny that you challenge my authority.
