Spotlight: Exposing Pedophilia Scandals and Hiding Homosexual Scandals in the Catholic Church
By Julio Severo
Recently, I watched Spotlight, a 2015
movie that exposes abundant cases of pedophilia in the Boston archdiocese. The
profile of most victims, male children, is indicative of abundant cases of
homosexuality, but the word homosexuality was mildly and rarely used in the
movie.

The scandals in the Boston archdiocese were exposed
when American Jew Marty Baron, a new editor of The Boston Globe, led an investigative
team of journalists who began, in 2001, to research and publish about pedophile
priests covered by their superiors.
Baron discovered that bishops in the Boston area moved
abusers from parish to parish instead of defrocking them or letting police and
courts take charge of these cases. Similar
scandals have since been discovered around the world.
According to the Associated Press, Australian Cardinal
George Pell, the highest-ranking Vatican official to testify on systemic sexual
abuse of children by clergy in the Roman Catholic Church, said senior clergy
lied to him to cover up abuse in the 1970s. He said that he was deceived about
why abusive priests were moved from parish to parish.
Spotlight, a movie based on actual events, reports that
“249 priests and brothers were publicly accused of sexual abuse within the
Boston Archdiocese.”
“The number of survivors in Boston is estimated to be
well over 1,000,” says Spotlight.
The Boston cardinal responsible for overseeing these
cases and for moving abusive priests from parish to parish was, according to
Spotlight, promoted to Rome in 2002, right in the midst of the public scandal, to
lead one of the high-ranking Roman Catholic churches in the world.
The candid movie reports that similar major abuse
scandals have been uncovered in many other U.S. cities.
Officially, the Catholic Church has never said that the
exposed scandals by Spotlight are lies.
There is no doubt that the way bishops and other
overseers have managed the cases of pedophile (especially pederast) priests was
a monumental disaster.
Yet, it is an equally monumental disaster to cover up the
homosexual connection. Since The Boston Globe and its talented Jewish editor
had no interest to investigate this connection, perhaps the pro-life movement,
which is a significant force in the U.S. Catholicism, could research and
publish about it, firstly in the Catholic setting.
The pro-life movement has had a high ability to record
and expose abortion clinic scandals through undercover agents. They do it
because they love children and they want to protect them.
Many Catholic pro-life groups focus their attacks on gender
ideology, which harms children. But pedophilia (especially pederasty) in the
church equally harms children, particularly because it is committed in a place
that should offer protection and high spiritual and moral authority.
Pro-life groups and leaders, not the secular media as
The Boston Globe, should be the first to expose crimes against children. Not
only abortion and gender ideology are a threat to children, but pedophilia
(especially pederasty) too.
Hollywood, abortion clinics and homosexual groups are
places of rampant depravity. Depravity and cover-up are expected from them. But
Christian institutions should have a higher standard and transparency, which is
light, according to Christian ethics.
The Boston Globe did a necessary job by exposing
pedophile priests and superiors covering them up. But the missing link was tritely
treated. Pedophilia is the broad term for rape of female and male children. The
proper term for rapists of male children, pederast, was never mentioned in
Spotlight. This omission is troubling.
The Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary and Thesaurus (2009
Kindle edition) defines “pederast” as “one who practices anal intercourse esp.
with a boy,” explaining the original Greek term, paiderastēs, literally means “lover
of boys.”
The Oxford Dictionary (2010 Kindle edition) defines
“pederasty” as “sexual activity involving a man and a boy.”
The 1913 Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary defines
“pederasty” as sodomy and “pederast” as sodomite, a term traditionally used to
designate homosexuals.
So where there is pederasty, there is always
homosexuality, and where there is homosexuality, pederasty is inevitable. It is
included in the packet.
Yet, the audiences would have the impression, by
watching Spotlight, that boys are usually abused by priests, not homosexuals.
The Spotlight movie should have included the missing
link. Yet, what to expect from liberals? They want to promote the gender agenda
to children and protect them not from homosexuality but from Christianity,
which, thanks to the Catholic leadership’s failure, they are pairing with
pederasty, a term that is being separated from its only natural and traditional
partner: homosexuality.
Why the Catholic Church has been so negligent in this
matter, I do not know. Why during decades or more she gave no harsh treatment
to homosexuals and their scandals in the clergy, protecting them from
prosecution and jail, I do not know.
The pro-life movement, a protector of children, should
have under its spotlight not only abortion and the gender agenda but also the
massive scandal of homosexual, pederastic priests. This would give them moral
authority to expose covered pederastic scandals of leaders and groups that
treat Christian values in the same sewer of sexual perversion they live or
tolerate in their midst. They would have authority to say the obvious: pederasty
and homosexuality walk together wherever they are, whether in a church, school
or other place.
Perverted priests should be denounced and jailed, even
though only jail is a very small punishment to child-rapists. If pro-life
Catholics do not move fast to protect children from perverts in their own Catholic
midst, Hollywood and other liberal forces will continue to use the Catholic
Church’s homosexual scandals to disparage all the conservative Christians and
their values.

ReplyDeleteThere is no question that the Catholic church hid and protected more known, "confessed" homosexual child rapists than anyone in US history.
They set them free to homosexually rape more boys, and never made any effort to stop them, because it is the standard policy of the Catholic church to protect their homosexual childrapists, as you would expect in an organization run by 400,000 priests who vowed not to have sex with women.
And they were protecting homosexual pedophile priests that were raping children, in brutal defiance of Jesus in Matt 18:6-14, where Jesus said it was unforgivable.
The Catholic church admitted 4,392 substantiated, accused pedo-priests in their own voluntary John Jay report of 2004, of which 3,200+ were homosexual childraping priests, all of which were protected and hidden by the Catholic church. Of course, they also hid 100% of their "heterosexual" childraping priests, and they admitted 800+ of them in 2004.
