If we are to be honest, we have to account for the reality that it was an era when psychiatry still believed that it could be treated and cured and bishops believed them .. another triumph of science. How extremely little the Catholic Church has done to advance a political agenda compared to how much she could do - Catholic obligation to obey the bishop on issues of morality is enforceable by excommunication, yet look at how much moral dissent and how few excommunications there are in this country - demonstrates that political agenda is not the primary motivator in issues like these.
