Positions

Conservatism

Gabriele Kuby advocates conservative and Christian - Catholic socio-political positions, in which she defends positions of the church teaching post .

She sees adherence to traditional sexual norms as an important existential question for Christianity. She defends celibacy . She sees the sexual abuse of children as a problem of society and not as a specific problem of the Roman Catholic Church. Addressing the problem in connection with the church in the media is an attempt to "bring the church to its knees".

Attitude to Chastity

In August 2010, Kuby spoke at the Joy of Faith congress in Fulda about the Christian concept of virtue of chastity . The lecture was published in a revised form in the specialist journal Theologisches . Kuby defended the virtue of chastity against what they believed to be unbridled and softened sexual morals. The virtue of chastity was "disposed of" in the course of the 1968 movement and afterwards.

Criticism of contraception and abortions

With regard to contraception and abortion, she addresses the demographic development on a national level and describes the Germans as a “dying people” and Germany as a “retirement home”.

Criticism of day nurseries

Kuby is against the fact that children under three years of age are cared for in day nurseries because she is of the opinion that this leads to irreversible damage to their attachment that only fully breaks out with puberty. In Sweden , according to Kuby, day-care centers have resulted in “every third child [...] being mentally disturbed”. In this context, she also criticizes the fact that the Federal Ministry of Family Affairs regards gender mainstreaming as an essential task of politics and, in contrast, neglects the promotion of families and measures against the growing social and psychological need of children and young people.

Criticism of sex education

In the summer of 2007 Kuby accused the German federal government and some state governments in an article in the Junge Freiheit of " sexualising " children from the earliest age with educational brochures such as body, love, doctor games and to advertise gay and lesbian lifestyles in school, with which The aim is to abolish the gender differentiation between men and women.

Attitude to homo- and transsexuality

Kuby does not hold all "sexual orientations" ( "hetero- , homo- , bi- , trans [sexual] ") and every form of sexuality ("gay, lesbian, bi-, trans-, metrosexual - anal and oral sex ") for equivalent.

Kuby adheres to the classification of anti-homosexuals and the ex-gay movement . For them, transsexuality and homosexuality are both a sexual orientation and a gender identity disorder . She described it as a "dam break" that the American Psychiatric Association (APA) has not listed adult homosexuality in the DSM-II since 1973 as a mental disorder. Homosexuality and transsexuality were until then under the category Sexual Deviations 'Sexual Deviations' , which was a sub-category of Personality Disorders and certain other Non-Psychotic Mental Disorders . She also mistakenly considers metrosexuality to be a form of sexuality in the narrower sense.

The philosopher Petra Gehring accused Kuby of using a “ homophobic polemic” in the book The Gender Revolution . She describes the book as a conglomerate of false assumptions, fallacies and resentments, in terms of content as a “strange mixture of theology of creation and the scientific naturalism of life science ”. Kuby replied that Petra Gehring was defaming her with the “swear word 'homophobia'”. In 2009, Kuby signed the Marburg Declaration - For Freedom and Self-Determination - against totalitarian efforts by lesbian and gay associations .

The first chapter of her 30-page treatise Gender - A New Ideology Destroys the Family (4th edition 2014) is directed in particular against Judith Butler as a pioneer of gender theory. The booklet is available free of charge in some Catholic churches in German-speaking countries as far as South Tyrol.

Harry Potter

Kuby published a first critical book on Harry Potter , Harry Potter - The Global Thrust in Occult Paganism , in 2002, and a second in 2003, Harry Potter - Good or Evil? . After doubts about the Vatican's position on Harry Potter surfaced in the media, she sent her first book to then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger . In his reply he wrote: "It is good that you enlighten in matters of Harry Potter, because these are subtle seductions that work imperceptibly and precisely because of this deep and decompose Christianity in the soul before it could even grow." After Ratzinger elected Pope, his verdict on Harry Potter received worldwide media attention.

Statements on the corona pandemic

In an article published in various magazines, Kuby takes the corona pandemic as an opportunity to support the thesis of faith that it is now the hour of the Church and that there is therefore a need to "use the rich treasure of spiritual resources that we as Catholics have" , among other things also "the authority of exorcism ". This particular text passage was deleted as part of the publication by the " Vatican Magazin ".

Violation of your personal rights by Deutschlandradio

Deutschlandradio had to pay a monetary compensation of 5,000 in 2019 for a serious violation of personal rights ( abuse ). In the play FEAR by Falk Richter, Kuby was accused of hate speech and totalitarian tendencies. The Germany radio had Quote fakes taken: "Germany radio had not only taken over the defamatory fake quotes, but with the comment: '. Falk Richter is the most powerful weapon against those which stir up fear and preach hatred He quotes them,' even the alleged authenticity of Forgeries emphasized unchecked. "
