	Peter Damian
		Peter Damian is Endres's prime representative of the anti-dialectical attitude.

		Damian's objective at the table of Monte Cassino was to protect the doctrine of divine omnipotence by advising that we should abstain from saying anything which implies that God is powerless in some respect.

	St. James letter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		In Peter’s view, church corruption, which was shockingly extensive in the 11th century, had three deep roots: first, the primacy of “business” concerns of bishops over the spiritual; second, the exemption of clergy from civil courts and laws; and third, the lack of structures of accountability for bishops.
		Peter irritated his fellow clergymen by proposing that all clerics, including bishops, be subject to civil laws and courts.
		Peter’s controversial thinking on these matter flowed from his understanding of the church as a community of believers in which everyone, not just the ordained, have responsibility to oppose corruption and the abuse of power.

	St. Peter Damian's Book of Gomorrah: a Moral Blueprint for Our Times - Part I
		Peter's innate intellectual talents and remarkable piety in the light of great adversity were recognized by the archpriest, who plucked his younger brother from the fields and provided him with an excellent education first at Ravenna, then Faenza and finally at the University of Parma.
		The result, Damian states, is that a man, guilty of the "lesser" degrees of the vice, accepts his milder penances, but remains free to pollute others without the least fear of losing his rank.
		Damian decries the audacity of men who are "habituated to the filth of this festering disease," and yet dare to present themselves for holy orders, or if already ordained, remain in office.

	St. Peter Damian's Book of Gomorrah: a Moral Blueprint for Our Times - Part II
		Certainly, Damian, who was renown for his exemplary spiritual direction of the novitiates and monks entrusted to his care, was not unaware of certain mitigating circumstances that would diminish if not totally remove the culpability of individuals charged with the crime of sodomy.
		That Damian's treatise proved to be controversial and unwelcome especially among superiors and members of the hierarchy who were sodomizing their "spiritual sons" or those with bad consciences resulting from an inability or an unwillingness to exercise their authority in severely disciplining offending clerics or monks, is not surprising.
		Certainly, Damian's reputation and credibility was not diminished in the minds of the great and holy men of his day by either the writing or the publication of his treatise on sodomy.
