When he makes a religion with a defect, he glories in the defect and destroys himself. ■Historically. Hitler is a direct resist of Christian theology: Marx and Gimmunism are alsti direct results of these same philosophies — with a large dose of immature negativism thrown in to show the independence of their bigotries. When one looks at the contemporary results of religions, one must vomit religion if they are to go on living and find happiness. The microcosm of religious experience is the Middle East, where Mohammedanism Judaism and Christianity come together, and dash violently. The role religion is supposed to fulfill is to make life more pleasant and secure. One of the traditional roles of homosexuals in society has been as caretakers of religion. My awareness of this was made very plain by the ‘in' sophistication of Cardinal Spellman’s open secret during World War II. Every homosexual understood the many meanings of the story about a WW II soldier from the back country who was taken to high mass at St. Patricks on Easter Sunday. When the soldier was asked what he thought of the dear Cardinal’s performance, he remarked that “her gown was lovely, but her purse was on fire." (Do you remember when the senile Spellman took the Pope’s crown jewels to give to the poor? Did Spellman really believe he was the reincarnation of Marie Antoinette?)
