i the common mind ii Praise for The Global Sexual Revolution “I am delighted to know that readers in Britain, the U.S., and other English-speaking nations will have the opportunity to read Gabriele Kuby’s important book The Global Sexual Revolution: Destruction of Freedom in the Name of Freedom. As the carnage of untrammeled sexual license piles up in cultures that have embraced sexual revolutionary ideology, we need the kind of sober and thoughtful analysis Gabriele Kuby provides. Her work will help readers understand that false visions of freedom are highways to slavery, and that true freedom is to be found in self- mastery and virtue.” —ROBERT P. GEORGE, Princeton University; author of Con- science and Its Enemies: Confronting the Dogmas of Liberal Secular- ism “Cardinal Robert Sarah’s statement that ‘What Nazi fascism and communism were in the 20th century, Western homosexual and abortion ideologies . are today’ could serve as the principal theme of Gabriele Kuby’s devastating critique, which gives detailed expositions of those ideologies, their origins, and ill effects. Kuby maps the topography of horror that sex unleashed from the moral order visits upon any society that allows it. She also offers a strong, much-needed dose of moral realism that offers a way out of an otherwise totalitarian result.” —ROBERT R. REILLY, American Foreign Policy Council; auth- or of Making Gay Okay: How Rationalizing Homosexual Behavior Is Changing Everything “I have eagerly awaited the English-language publication of this important book from a vital voice in the European debate on human sexuality. Gabriele Kuby is a global treasure and a remark- ably brave soul, speaking as she does from the very heart of Euro- pean secularism. In this book, Kuby gets to the heart of the matter: the grotesque distortion of the human person at the hands of the sexual left, through what Pope Francis and the African bishops properly call ‘ideological colonialism.’” —AUSTIN RUSE, President, Center for Family & Human Rights iii the common mind “Gabriele Kuby is a contemporary Joan of Arc in Europe. Through her books, translated into several languages, and unceasing public talks and media exposure in various nations, she is awakening the conscience of a generation. Writing with utter lucidity, in The Glo- bal Sexual Revolution she gives us a comprehensive understanding of the war for the future of mankind that has spread with aston- ishing speed throughout the world. Not only the nature of man, woman, and family are under relentless assault by the top-down imposed revolution, but the nature of reality itself—and of freedom. Kuby presents her fastidiously researched analysis of the gravity of our civilizational crisis without any defect in charity. There is not only knowledge here, but a wisdom sorely needed in our modern age.” —MICHAEL D. O’BRIEN, author of Elijah in Jerusalem and The Island of the World “The sexual revolution has never been about true freedom, but rather, about destroying it. Gabriele Kuby makes an eloquent and factual case for why all those concerned with liberty and rights of conscience must stand up—before it is too late—to those agendas that seek, even demand, to take away our freedom.” —ALAN E. SEARS, President, Alliance Defending Freedom; co- author of The Homosexual Agenda: Exposing the Principal Threat to Religious Freedom Today “All who read this book will join Pope Benedict in saying ‘Thank God that you speak and write.’ It is the most comprehensive primer ever on the culture wars. Without it, one fights half-blind; read it and be changed. Kuby shows how the radical ‘deep pan-sexual state’ is history’s ultimate means for those who would dominate the world through the internationally-shared linguistic, intellectual, academic, media, legal and policy tools of control that we experience daily. But her ending is upbeat: the growing effective resistance in Europe, a resistance that we in the land of freedom must quickly emulate. Buy a dozen copies and form your own bat- talion of counter-revolutionaries.” —PATRICK F. FAGAN, Director, Marriage and Religion Research Institute (MARRI) at the Family Research Council iv “Do you think the family simply ‘declined’ all on its own? Was it some inexorable Law of History or Force of Nature that caused the family to ‘fall apart’? Gabriele Kuby shows convincingly how, against the wishes of ordinary decent people, global elites commit- ted to a destructive ideology have commandeered the State to undermine the family. If you care about the early sexualization of children, the increasing unwillingness to form and sustain families, the relentless drive of political correctness, and above all the ever- increasing intrusiveness of the government, you must read this book.” —JENNIFER ROBACK MORSE, Founder and President of the Ruth Institute; author of 101 Tips for a Happier Marriage Praise for the German Edition “Mrs. Kuby is a brave warrior against ideologies that ultimately result in the destruction of man.”—POPE BENEDICT XVI “I express my appreciation and gratitude for your courage to clearly speak the truth, without being impressed by the intolerant opinions that dominate most of the powerful media outlets.” —CARDINAL GIOVANNI LAJOLO, Cardinal Deacon, S. Maria Liberatrice a Monte Testiccio, Rome “The term ‘gender mainstreaming’ may be unfamiliar to most citi- zens of our country. Therefore many are unaware of the fact that for years they have been subjected to a re-education program put forth by governments, European authorities, and elements of the media. The concept of political freedom was coined in ancient Greece and initially meant: allowing people to live in their cus- tomary ways. The tyrant was the one who hindered people from doing that, the one who wanted to ‘re-educate them.’ This book is about just such a tyranny. Gabriele Kuby courageously shows how our freedom is threatened by an anti-human ideology. She deserves our thanks for enlightening us through her work. As many people as possible should read this book in order that they may be aware of what to expect next if they do not fight back.” —ROBERT SPAEMANN (from the Foreword) v the common mind “The author shows in her book that the massive attack we are dealing with today is no accident and no passing fashion, but rather part of a global plan, a world strategy to effect fundamental changes in humankind and society by fundamentally altering our understanding and experience of human sexuality. She exposes the truth about gender-ideology, much as Kolakowski and Solzh- enitsyn unmasked the truth about Communism.” —FR. DARIUSZ OKO, Assistant Professor of Philosophy at John Paul II Pontifical University (Poland) “I read the book in breathless suspense and emotional shock.” —EDITH DUSING, Professor of Philosophy and Intellectual History, Freie Theologische Hochschule Gießen “Gabriele Kuby testifies to the power of human dignity in the light of natural law and the divine image with a rare, bright, and fresh conviction.” —HARALD SEUBERT, Professor of Philosophy and Religious Studies, State Independent Theological College, Basel “With the publication of this book, none can any longer say they did not know of a revolution that speaks of freedom, but aims at dictatorship.” —KATRIN KRIPS-SCHMIDT, Die Tagespost vi The Global Sexual Revolution Destruction of Freedom in the Name of Freedom ç GABRIELE KUBY The global sexual revolution Destruction of Freedom in the Name of Freedom Translated by James Patrick Kirchner Foreword by Robert Spaemann ix First published in German as Die globale sexuelle Revolution: Zerstörung der Freiheit im Namen der Freiheit © Fe-Medienverlags Gmbh, 2012 First published in English by LifeSite, 2015 an imprint of Angelico Press English translation © James Patrick Kirchner, 2015 Foreword © Robert Spaemann, 2012 All rights reserved No part of this book may be reproduced or transmitted, in any form or by any means, without permission.
