Darrel Ray said this quote

“ Human brains have three layers of programming. Each layer adds a twist or turn to sexual preferences and tendencies. The first layer is genetic progamming from the inherited genes. The second involves environmental influences that impact genes and their expression. The third level deals with the way we fill in the blanks as social and cultural beings. This level can become a feedback loop that influences the inherited genes by influencing with whom we choose to have sex. ”

All religions have something to say about sex, and it rarely coincides with scientific knowledge of sex and sexuality.

Religion has the capacity to silence critical thinking and create blindness in entire groups of people. It can infect the minds of followers so completely as to allow the most egregious sexual acts against children and others to go unchallenged for centuries.

~ Darrel Ray

The church may update its techniques and methods, but it is always in service of the institutional organism. This is one of the reasons why the pedophile priest issue is and will remain an endemic disease in the Catholic Church.
