How could men, who purport to believe in the teachings of Jesus Christ, permit such heinous crimes to be committed against defenseless children? Once finding out about these crimes how can men purporting to believe in the teachings of Christ allow these crimes to continue unabated? How could these same followers of Christ viciously attack the abused, their parents and anyone else who chose to make public the crimes of rape, sodomization and molestation of children? How could this go on for centuries with no repercussions and lastly, how does the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church keep nuns, priests, bishops and cardinals from speaking out on the subject?
What follows is a unified theory that attempts to provide an overall umbrella for understanding the clergy abuse scandal. The facts speak for themselves, the historical references are cited and the truth is laid bare.
Dehumanization
Starving, gassing, burning, hacking, bombing and mutilating on a large scale are all well documented crimes against humanity. In each case humanity reflects on how inhuman man can be to his fellow man, decries and tries to destroy the offending dictators or regimes and puts up a memorial in the hope it doesn't happen again. The travesties generally last no longer than the time span of the despot's rule: I.e. Hitler, Pol Pot Idi Amin etc. There is however, one very notable exception. That exception is the rape, sodomization and molestation of children by the clergy of the Roman Catholic Church. There is ample documentation showing this carnage has been carried out unabated for centuries!
The focal point of this essay is not the pedophile priest, for we know what he is. He is a sick twisted deviant who relishes despoiling innocence. He is the predator. An animal who exists for his next meal: despoiling an innocent child. Like the jackal, he preys on the weak and vulnerable in order to feed his sick insatiable appetite. This examination will focus on the following: How the pederast became an integral part of the clergy, why their handlers, the bishops, allow these jackals free reign to prey on children, and the causes for the utter silence of the priesthood at large on the subject of the sexual abuse of children by priests.
What do you call a man who knowingly allows a malevolent individual to prey on children? What term can be coined for a man who upon finding out that a perverted priest has violated a child, moves said priest to new hunting grounds? How do you address someone who knowingly sends a serial child molester into a parish with an elementary school? What term can accurately describe a man who sends a child raping priest out of his country to prey upon the children of poor indigent people; whose only hope in life is an afterlife in heaven? Sadly, there is one answer to all of these questions, you call him bishop!
