Sorry, I googled for the distinctive term that priest used ('Leidensprävention'), but couldn't find anything. The priest was quoting somebody else, but I can't for the life of me recall the name; I had never heard it
It was this program, and the priest's name was Paul Michael Zulehner, and he's some Catholic theology professor in Vienna (and had an Orthodox icon on the wall behind him while he was being interviewed, on which two blokes were sort of snogging, but I am sure it meant something metaphorical and spiritual and not sexual at all). But he was quoting somebody else, as I said. Sorry I can't help more.
That'll do me! Even money says that it won't be something my lecturer's heard of, so a reference that sounds good is perfect even if it's not 100% accurate. Thank you!
(Unrelatedly, my ex-boyfriend is currently reminding me why he's my ex and why I'm so happy to be single. I only wish that he didn't have to be so fucking irritating in order to do so. Goddddd why did I date him...)
Sadly, not even that. If he were at least attractive maybe I wouldn't still be so ANGRY at myself for it. Unfortunately, though, the answer is simply that he asked. -_- STUPIDEST FIVE MONTHS OF MY LIFE.
People do really strange things for strange reasons. Morality, as the prevention of suffering, has rarely enough influence on us. We don't even prevent our own suffering -- which we ought to, right along with that of others, according to that priest bloke.
