From mystical orgasms to women in stoles how the post Vatican II Church turned sin into spirituality and sacrilege into policy
***WARNING***
What follows includes explicit quotations from the published writings of Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández on kissing, sensual arousal, and orgasm. I am not printing this material to shock for its own sake, still less to indulge in prurience, but to show plainly what the man now charged with guarding Catholic doctrine has written, and what Rome has deliberately concealed from his official record.
If you prefer not to read such passages, please turn back now. I believe, however, that Catholics have a right to see the evidence with their own eyes, and that any mature reckoning with the present crisis must begin by telling the truth about who is making decisions in the Vatican and what they have publicly taught about sexuality and “spirituality.”
The Pornocardenal, Again
If you want to know what a regime really believes, do not start with the pious speeches. Start with the personnel files that somebody tried to bury.
This week, more “erotic” writings by Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández surfaced. Not the already infamous kissing manual and “mystical passion” treatise, those were the warm-up acts, but later books from 2002, 2005, and 2009. The pattern is exactly what anyone paying attention already suspected: this is not one unfortunate youthful experiment, but a sustained habit of thinking and writing about sexual pleasure, erotically charged bodies, and orgasm as a privileged image of union with God.
El Wanderer and Infovaticana walked through three more titles:
A 2002 book, “¿Por qué no termino de sanarme?” (Why can’t I finish healing myself?), where Fernández explains how the right clothes “awaken sensuality,” lingers over tanned shoulders, bare necks with necklaces, and then reduces the human body to a “mass of flesh” that loses its charm once you discover other bodies.
A 2005 book on “spiritual theology incarnate,” where he proposes an exercise of slowly “feeling” each part of the body, explicitly including pelvis, buttocks, and genitals, insisting that “no part of the skin is insensitive” and that one should rest on the sensations, even of “pleasure,” until the whole body is in the same tone.
A 2004/2009 text on anxiety and impatience in which he again uses orgasm between two lovers as the paradigm of “fusion” and “perfect union,” held up alongside other intense experiences as models of total self-unification.
Two of these books never appeared on the Vatican CV when he was made prefect of the Holy Office in 2023. They were quietly left out. Only now, after outside journalists and bloggers did the legwork, do we see the fuller record.
The scandal, in other words, is not only the content. It is the cover-up. Rome appointed a man whose published spirituality treats erotic arousal and orgasm as primary theological metaphors, then tried to airbrush half the record. This is the man Leo has kept in charge of judging abuse cases and safeguarding doctrine.
