1746135_low Sexual abuse is always a scandal, but there is only one unique
scandal in the recent coverage of the Catholic Church. And those
responsible don’t wear clerical collars.
By

Selwyn Duke

It’s hard to say when the media became so concerned about the sexual
abuse of youth, but I do have the time frame narrowed down just a bit.
It obviously was some time after their support of boy-lover Congressman
Gerry Studds, the pedophile ring disguised as a
research team known as the Kinsey Institute, and Safe Schools Perv . . . I
mean, Czar, Kevin Jennings. But I guess what matters is that all
the ink they’re devoting to the Catholic Church scandal shows that they
care now, at least as much as their continual harping on America’s
antebellum sins means they care about slavery.

If you’re wondering about my tone, I’m not minimizing the scandal in
question. I don’t say there’s no “there” there. What I am saying is that
the media is maximizing it and that there isn’t as much there as the
molestation they pass off as reportage leads one to believe. I’m also
saying that, sadly, the “there” today is everywhere.

Read the rest here.

    Right on Selwyn Duke!!!!!
    Onward, Christian Soldier!!!!!
    Selwyn,
    I am side-by-side with you in exposing this tragic hypocrisy. The verminous Left see the Holy Roman Catholic Church as low-hanging fruit whereby they might infect this precious and wholesomne fruit with their poisonous bile.
    It is time that we called the MSM and international prees out for their utter hypocristy; their childishness with regard to facts and their utter and unforgivable depravity in their overreporting of the slightest allegation against a valuable and time-honored human institution and their non-chalant and negligent reporting of the serious crimes against humanity that infect and plague the world-wide body politic.
    Neither Selwyn nor I condone nor dare to defend actual pedophilia committed by anyone. I am certain that Selwyn and I are likeminded in its condemnation as unforgivable by we humans and mortals. I trust that we both see such hideous crimes as “infamnia” and that those found guilty of such heinous and dispicable acts merit the maximum allowable punishment under law (if not worse).
    To be sure that you are not missing the point, the article is not about isolated circumstances of a trecherous crime. It is about a corrupt and deceitful media and press that wishes to demonize a valuable institution and denomination that doctrinally and scripturally opposes a lifestyle and lifestyle choices that diametrically oppose the source of such held beliefs.
    A more rational and sane opposiion would be to disparage The Almighty for proclaiming such virtue and for condemning such vice.
    Ah, but you irrational and deluded sissies on the left would not dare to so openly. You A-holes know that, deep down, you are going to need Him some day.
    Shame on you.
    All hail the Holy Roman Catholic Church and its followers for their world-wide efforts to mitigate human suffering and for their efforts to bring the light of Christ our Lord to the ends of the earth.
    May the Almighty God, our Gracious and Loving Heavenly Father, bless Selwyn Duke and his family most abundantly for his courage and his outspoken stance on behalf of God’s eternal (and inevitable) plan.

    Forget it phil, I’m very sorry but men in frocks who use their relationship with jesus to force small young children to do foul sex acts and then stay silent on risk of their immortal soul are not equivalent to the odd teacher who behaves badly even when the figures are doctored, These men RAPED young people and the aggressors used their status to make the children silent. It was a double rape. Can you even get your head around the evil priest who forced deaf children into theconfessional just so they could be forced into sucking his c**k.
    There is no equivalence, this abomination deserved to be shamed and punished. Instead, the Vatican ensured that he died under silk sheets. You can never argue that you care for christs’ lambs again!

    Dearest Yoyo,
    You make the mistake of presuming that I am debating you. I am not. I am chastising you.
    Are you so obtuse that you continually miss the point of Selwyn’s article and my replies thereto?
    I had held out a modicum of hope for you. I have wanted to believe that you are young and naive and that your visits to this site might bring you the insight that you so badly need to mature emotionally and with regard to civil society; of the roles that we as individuals play and our interaction within it.
    Alas, I have come to the conclusion that you, as with all radical leftists, have their optic chiasma inverted. That is to say that you see things completely backward. I believe that it was William Burrows who proclaimed, “the eye altering, alters all”.
    It is likely that you feel the same way about me. Fair enough, and I expect that. The difference between you and I and how we arrive at our respective worldviews is that I form my opinions and worldview on a careful studying and investigation of the available facts from known, trusted and oftentimes eternal sources while you seem to form your opinions and worldview on the nattering Nabobs in the MSM, the derelict international press corps and the chattering of likeminded hens that you choose to cackle with.
    One last thing: It is highly offensive and intellectually dishonest for you, as a stated and avowed Atheist, to attempt to quote Scripture and/or Scriptural allegory in order to make a point. Either accept it or reject it. We can respect either decision. However, it is duplicitous and hypocritical for you to attempt to “relate” to scripture only if you “feel” that it supports your otherwise weak position.
    I truly pity you.

    The Associated Press three years ago ran a series on sex abuse in public schools. It was 20 years too late. I saw the church scandal first break in 1985 when NCR and the San Jose Mercury News ran stories. Around the same time an education group convened in San Francisco where a paper disclosed sex abuse in public schools. News groups ignored it. Bias? This sort of thing is bound to happen when the nation has only one major wire service.
