Also, so much for the claim that only the Catholic Church didnt report such crimes and moved pastors from parish to parish instead.
I must admit Im surprised by this. I honestly was starting to think that maybe this (covering up such crimes and moving the offenders around) was only a problem in the Church. It was paralyzing actually a true trump card for the anti-Catholic critics.
Maybe now though we can all acknowledge this isnt a problem for just one denomination but a problem of fallen humanity. Without having read the rest of the thread thats my hope at least.
Paradoxically so.
Im becoming increasingly convinced that the root of this issue lies in the increased sexualzation of our culture in every aspect, in ads in print and on television, in movies, at work, and of course driving it all is pornography.
Its all rotten to the core, stemming from the sexual revolution of the 60s and 70s, that freed stigmas associated not only with use of porn but also sex before marriage, and of course homosexuality itself.
When the sexual revolution divorced the purpose of sexual union from its purpose (procreation), and made it just another commodity to sell, either directly through pornography, or indirectly through the sale of birth control, thats when all these perversions started cropping up in greater and greater numbers. In every walk of life. Its not just a coincidence.
