The Catholic Church Of Pedophilia

By Mark Gelbart
July 20, 2007

Christianity has always been a sham.  When Constantine declared the Roman Empire Catholic rather than Pagan, the priests immediately began defrauding the truth.  They stationed actors inside statues of Jesus or the Virgin Mary to talk and convince people they were actually hearing God speak.  They renamed all the popular lesser pagan Gods as Christian saints.  They reneged on promises of religious freedom and persecuted the practitioners of other religions, confiscating their property and completely shutting them out of power.  Then as now, the real God of the Catholic Church is money--a fact proven by the revelations of the conspiracies to cover up rampant pedophilia among the Catholic priesthood.

 
Some say it's only a few bad apples, a small percentage of the population that makes the Catholic Church look bad.  This is entirely false. According to the documentary, Deliver us from Evil, a study found that 10% of seminary students are pedophiles or hebephiles (homosexuals attracted to boys ages 13-18).  4,592 Catholic priests have been charged with pedophilia and an estimated 86% of abuse is never reported, amounting to a staggering number of probable cases. 
 
Psychologists and historians speculate why pedophilia and hebephilia are so prevalent in the Catholic Church.  It all boils down to the practice of celibacy along with bizarre but common beliefs about sexual sins.  Teenagers decide they want to become priests.  At this time in their lives they are attracted to boys and girls their own ages or even younger because their sexuality hasn't matured and never will.  Many devout teenaged boys have been associated with the Catholic Church and their decision to become a priest has been influenced by contact with other priests, and therefore in many cases they've been abused themselves.  Once they become priests and attain power, they see the opportunity to abuse children.  They can't control their impulses but don't consider pedophilia a greater sin than any other sexual act because the Catholic Church views all sexuality as sinful.
 
The Catholic Church decided to require celibacy from its priests out of pure greed.  Originally, priests willed their property to their sons, but the church desired all the wealth priests accumulated during their lifetime.  That's the real reason priests aren't allowed to marry and proves the Catholic Church worships gold.
 
Oliver O'Grady, a Catholic priest in California, molested over three hundred children--boys and girls.  He raped a nine month old baby, inserting his penis in the baby's vagina.  Cardinal Mahoney was well aware of these allegations but every time a victim came forward, his solution was to pay off the victim's family, cover it up, and move O'Grady to a parish fifty miles away.  One time he moved O'Grady and promoted him.  He never once contacted law enforcement.  Eventually, O'Grady was convicted and served seven years in prison before he was deported back to Ireland where he moved in with a family that had children.  They were unaware of his past, and he still receives a pension from the Catholic Church.  Cardinal Mahoney didn't cooperate with law enforcement whatsoever.  He lawyered up, withheld information (forcing the prosecuting attorney to go all the way to the Supreme Court to get the church's records), denied knowledge, and stonewalled as much as legally possible.  The case of O'Grady is just one typical example of thousands upon thousands across the nation from Los Angeles to Chicago to Boston, home of Cardinal Law who resigned there but was given an honorary title in Vatican City.  The Catholic Church clearly cares more about money and image than children.
 
This scandal goes all the way to the top.  Pope Benedict has been charged with conspiracy to protect priests who've molested children, but George W. Bush has granted him immunity from prosecution, making the president a defender of pedophilia.  Anyone attending or giving money to the Catholic Church is supporting pedophilia, and the conspirators who protect its ongoing practice.  The Church of Satan couldn't be more evil than the Catholic Church of pedophilia.
