Pedophile Priests

Now, I’m not saying that the pope himself fucks little boys because I think if he did somebody, maybe a whole lot of sombodies, would have sold their story to the magazines by now.  But, just as he was a participant in Nazism because everybody else was doing it, so he has participated in the great cover-up.

That is, the great cover-up of the increasingly clear state of affairs within the Catholic Church, i.e. that lots and lots of priests like to have sexual relationships with very young boys, and that this has probably been the case for centuries, even millenia.

Of course, this has always been suspected.  I’m sure even in the 12th century or so the common people heard stories of priests sodomizing children.  But it was a simpler time.  Plenty of the common people had sex with their relatives and various farm animals, too.  People didn’t necessarily talk about it, and if some of the boys talked, as some must have, there was little anybody could do.

So, some grew up to be child-molesting priests themselves and the cycle continued.

What is different today?  The internet.  Television.  A whole new attitude of openness and communication.

I was watching an episode of Criminal Minds about a week ago.  Horrible show, really, like all cop shows it is an advertisement for a police state.  The police are good.  They may lie to you.  They may abuse suspects.  But they do it all to save innocent children and old ladies.  Nonetheless, like WWII movies and boxing, I watch with a guilty pleasure.  I like seeing violence on TV as much as any red-blooded American boy.  Anyway, it was one of their more interesting episodes, they were investigating a double murder of a couple and the kidnapping of their 10 year old daughter.  It turned out, she was the intended bride for their 10 year old son.  The twist to the episode came when they were investigating previous, similar crimes and discovered that the DNA from a victim of 20 years ago matched the DNA of the current suspect.  And at that point they figured it out, that this had been going on for generations, for centuries, and only now that we’ve got DNA testing and super high speed computers (yeah, right, if real cops had half the technological capabilities they have on TV, there’d be no crime left.  Most criminals, seriously, are not supercriminals) the pattern has become clear.

That’s the way I see it with the Catholic Church and pedophilia.  We are well into the age of documentation, we are in an era when it’s not such a stigma to talk about homosexuality and its causes (50% genetic, the rest just get sucked into it…sorry, little joke there), and all that means we are entering into an era when nobody is going to get away with anything.

The Catholic Church is fucked.
