Non-trekkies will probably want to skip to the last paragraph. Over at Giselle's, readers are comparing Legion of Christ/Regnum Christi recruitment to Borg assimilation practices. As a trekkie, I see many alleged similarities.
But let's not miss the bright side of the galaxy. As the scandal unfolds, I see just as many similarities between Pope Benedict and Species 8472 (aka the Fluidians). For instance, Pope Benedict views life through the cross, not unlike the Fluidians with their cross-shaped pupils. The Holy Father also pilots a living vessel, a spiritual bioship that transverses space and dimension, healing quickly from damage and adjusting organically as needed to confront an immediate threat.
Moreover, there's his experience under Naziism as a child, coupled with his life-long love of the Patristic fathers (whose influence over his theology has been noticeable throughout his entire life). This has added a third strain to his spiritual DNA and thickened his spiritual blood to where he is practically impervious (and destructive of) to Borg nano-technology.
So my advice to those seeking to break free of the collective? Start reading the early Church fathers. An excellent work with which to begin is Cardinal Newman's translation of St. Thomas Aquinas' Catena Aurea. For those unfamiliar with this work, the Doctor Angelicus provides commentary on the Four Gospels through extensive quotations from early Church fathers.
May I also recommend "Glimpses of the Church Fathers" by Claire Russell? I found the book to be a wonderful introduction to the writings of early Church Fathers for ordinary people like me.
