...Society (an organization formed in part to cut down profanity). It means the displacement of what Layman Michael Novak calls "nonhistorical orthodoxy"-the abstract, rationalistic theology that has dominated Catholic thinking since the Council of Trent-by a Gospel-centered Catholicism that is open to accept the insights of Freud, Camus, and even Marx...

Benedict Fox from Freud's "postulate of the defense mechanism of identification in the relationship between the group and the group leader," was one that is common to all leaders "exercising a type of paternalism with the group."
