Speechless…Silencing the Christians is a one hour TV special about the political agenda of homosexual activists. One of the things this TV special mentions is how the media censors Christians. Oddly enough, this is exactly what happened with two TV stations: WOOD-TV in Grand Rapids, MI and WSYX-TV in Columbus, OH. Both stations bowed down to the demands of a handful of homosexual activists and banned the showing of this TV special.

They said the program was “controversial.” The stations do not consider showing two lesbians or two homosexuals kissing or getting into bed with each other controversial. The stations do not consider all the profanity they air controversial. They regularly show network programs advocating the homosexual agenda, but those programs are not considered controversial. However, a special showing of Christians being silenced is controversial!

The manager of the Columbus station told American Family Association the station would not air the program because telling the truth about homosexuality did not represent “positive Christianity.” Are we moving to a time in the near future when local pastors whose services are broadcast will be banned because their sermons call the practice of homosexuality a sin?

The recent story about the death of John Travolta’s son prompted me to take a very small look at Scientology; specifically, an interview with Tom Cruise that took place around the time the movie War of the Worlds came out. The media seems to dismiss most of what Tom Cruise said as absurdity; however, there is some truth to what he said, particularly concerning pharmaceuticals and mental illness.

The normal treatment of mental illnesses, not to mention most other illnesses, today is almost entirely pharmaceutical. Tom Cruise is correct when he says that pharmaceuticals are not a cure but only mask the symptoms of an illness. What is needed is to get to the root cause of the illness, which I believe is environmental toxins.

Unlike Scientology, I believe that pharmaceuticals have their place. They should be used temporarily to mask the symptoms while the root cause of the illness is investigated and treated. Pharmaceuticals may also be used in removing the toxins from the sick person.

This approach to mental health, and health in general, is relatively new. It will likely be another 20 years before it is no longer considered controversial, and another 20 years before it is common practice. Unfortunately, while environmental medicine gains creditability, so will Scientology because of a few truths that are currently considered absurd by the mass media. Hopefully more ill persons will be treated with the  true science of environmental medicine and not get sucked into the money making cult of Scientology.

This looks like a good association; however, they shouldn’t be using the word homosexuality.  Some people have a disorder called Same Sex Attraction, but no one is homosexual.

Your Holiness,

It is very fitting that I write this letter to you today on the great Solemnity of St. Peter and  St. Paul. It is fitting because, although I can in no way compare myself to St. Paul, I am willing to correct Peter when he is wrong. I would never question you on an issue of faith and morals, but you have erred on an issue of psychiatry, of which I have a little knowledge because I have been diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder.

It was in the following paragraph from your June 25, 2008 Wednesday General Audience that you erred:

However, the problem arises: Does not one end in this way in a sort of dualism? Is not one faced with affirming two complete personalities with reason, will, sentiment? How can this dualism be overcome? How can the completeness of the human being be preserved while protecting the unity of the person of Christ, who was not schizophrenic?

I believe that you did not mean to say that Christ did not have schizophrenia, but that He did not have dissociative identity disorder, also known as multiple personality disorder. Schizophrenia is often confused with dissociative identity disorder, and in some rare cases a person may have both disorders, but they are two very different disorders. A person with dissociative identity disorder will display multiple distinct identities or personalities, whereas a person with schizophrenia will have impairments in the
perception or expression of reality.

Most schizophrenics do not experience any sort of dualism in their identity or personality. My illness and the anti-psychotic drugs to control it have affected my personality; however, like most schizophrenics, I have always had one identity or personality.

All of my psychotic symptoms have been under control for a number of years, although I do suffer from the side affects of the drugs that control these symptoms. I very willingly accept my suffering by uniting it with Christ’s suffering, and it has afforded me time to devote to Christ and His Church. I have written a book about my illness, Bricks & Barbwire, and have published much of my theological work on my website
(http://grigaitis.net).

I very much appreciate your work and teaching, and I in no way want to admonish you. I just want to point out that by misusing the term schizophrenic, you may offend some people that desperately need to hear your message.

I remain your most humble servant,
R. J. Grigaitis, S.F.O.
