Vatican “Sex
Abuse Summit”:
... a disgraceful
travesty; nothing more

“Pansies
clearly are not flowers — that is only an hypothesis to be proven”
“Cardinal
Cupich’s comments at today’s Vatican press conference show that
he denies any causal connection between homosexuality or a homosexual
subculture and sexual abuse, even though he doesn’t deny that
80 percent of the abuse is same-sex ... Cupich ... refuses
to investigate whether there is a tacit agreement among homosexual
prelates to cover up such abuse.”

It is vital that you understand the following to grasp
the hypocrisy, duplicity, and deceit involved:
-
“Homosexual rape”
is never addressed as such at this “summit”. Instead,
it is routinely spoken of only in terms of “misconduct”
— which can be virtually any unacceptable
behavior. The infamous Father Paul Shanley of St.
Patrick’s in Stoneham was convicted
for “raping a child” — he was not convicted
for “misconduct”.
-
Men who force women into sexual acts are not guilty
of “misconduct” — they are committing
rape.
-
Every single bishop — apparently
by prearranged agreement — substituted
the word “misconduct” for “rape”
-
Every single bishop used
a Vatican-minted and sanitized neologism:
“male-on-male sex” instead of “homosexual
sodomy” or
“homosexual sex”
Apparently — very apparently — they do not want to bring
the word “homosexuality” into disrepute — in perhaps an effort to protect
themselves.
Ask yourself the following:
Since when is forcefully (or even consensually) sodomizing another
man merely a case of
“misconduct”?
It is a horrific sin and a crime before God and man. (Romans
1.27)
And yet
Archbishop Scicluna in a paroxysm of absurdity maintains that:
“I
don’t think in anything that’s happened here anyone has suggested
that
people with homosexual tendencies equal people who are abusing
[minors],
and that should be clear.”
Flat-lining
Scicluna is in apparent need of an electroencephalogram
to certify that he is not brain-dead ... or he flat-lined
upon uttering that absurdity. May I suggest an alternative, and
even more compelling narrative, Scicluna?
That IS the whole
conspicuous and utterly indisputable
point!
It
IS
homosexuals who are committing these crimes and Church bureaucrats refuse
to acknowledge it —
no matter how much evidence is amassed before them.
It is the resolute
refusal to believe the obscene, the scatological reality that
actually exists — and an attempt to build an entirely fictional
reality in place of it; a narrative in which homosexuals are the “oppressed
victims” who are at least implicitly “discriminated against” for raping
and sodomizing other men — and yes, children!
It is not “conjecture” ... it is
not “a hypothesis” — IT IS INCONTESTABLE!
Credibility
Score for the Church as
of 23 February 2019: minus
100.
In other words,
NONE!
ZERO. ZIP!
This is not a myopic perspective confined to traditional
Catholic media. Consider the following excerpts from the secular
media:
“THE CATHOLIC
CHURCH’S decades-long practice of enabling and systematically
covering up the rape and molestation of children by priests
is by now sickeningly familiar. Yet the scale of abuse;
the breadth and depth of trauma inflicted by predators wearing
Roman collars; and the coldbloodedness of senior church
figures zealous in their resolve to protect the church but
indifferent to the suffering of minors, retain their power
to shock the conscience.” —

“IT
IS EVIDENT that the Catholic Church is incapable on its
own of exorcising the scourge of clergy sex abuse. The scandal
raged unchecked for decades and, even after it was exposed
in
2002 by the Boston Globe
, has been met by the church hierarchy with
denial, temporizing, stone
walling and half-measures.”

“Even
as apologists for the Vatican and the clergy continue peddling
the myth that the Catholic Church’s pedophile scandals simply
reflect society’s problems, the weight of evidence is overwhelming
proof to the contrary. Thousands of American priests weaponized
faith, as Mr. Shapiro said, taking advantage of their status
and access to children to prey on them. They left uncountable
thousands of victims in their wake.”

I don’t believe a word of
Francis, the prime facilitator of this abomination. I don’t believe
the bishops’ factitious sincerity, their “perplexity”, their suddenly
epiphanous realization of this detestable state of affairs that
has lacerated the Church for the last 50 years and beyond. I especially
do not believe their sanctimonious “truthfulness” for a minute — or
even as much as their clearly impaired cognitive faculties.
But I DO believe in
their willingness to enter into complicity to continue to conceal,
to contrive nonsensical verbal schemes to confuse the issue, to lie,
to equivocate, to publicly insult the intelligence of ordinary men and
women, and to try to expunge the absolutely vile and incontestable issue
of homosexual predation in the Church from “further consideration” —
and to prevent any further intrusion into their dark, deep, and salacious
network.
Of course, this is, as Cupich
would insist, a mere “hypothesis to be proven”, mere conjecture,
an opinion only — despite the testimony of thousands of
victims.
These are not cardinals and
bishops — they are not even “men”; they are spiders and flies
— an unparalleled disgrace in the history of the Church, and
personally responsible, each of them, all of them, for the loss of countless
souls who abandon the Church in disgust.
