Catholic Priests Primary Molesters of Children?
It is a bigoted LIE that it is primarily Catholic Priests who Molest Children!
I hate to break it to you, but many other churches and other organizations besides the Catholic Church have the same problems... but the Mainstream Media (MSM) fails to report on it.
Sorry... As much as the Leftists and the MSM love the LGBTQ groups, they hate and discriminate against the Catholic Church even more! Homosexuals and Pedophiles have been running rampant in OTHER churches, schools, youth sports, the BSA, and other youth organizations. However, it is the Catholic Church that gets all the Bad Press from the Leftist MSM, and the Lawyers who are trying to sue, while all the others are usually ignored, due to abject bigotry and hate for the RCC.
In the 1970s, the Catholic Church accepted the advice of many so-called “experts” in the mental health industry and concluded that pedophile priests could be successfully treated with private therapy. (Nowadays, this therapy has been made illegal by those same Leftists! They have banned the ability of individuals to receive counseling or therapy to avoid unwanted feelings of same-sex attraction.) The theory was not proven correct, and it helped protect many priests as they sexually abused thousands of boys.
That was a disaster for many children and the church, but it yielded a bonanza of lawsuits, media stories, and the victim's therapy sessions for professional psychologists, lawyers, and reporters.
Somewhat recently, we were informed during a sermon at Mass that during the 1960s and 70’s, the Priestly Vocations were way down, so it was thought that it would be acceptable to allow men who were practicing homosexuals or with homosexual tendencies to become Priests because they would follow their priestly vows and remain Celibate. We were then told: “That did not work out so well!”
Those with the ‘tendencies’ chased many other seminarians with true vocations out of the Seminaries! Not well indeed!
However, the Catholic Church began taking care of this problem, beginning over 25 years ago.
The Church has since begun screening ALL seminary candidates all the way back to their elementary school days to make sure they don’t have those deviant proclivities. The original problem was that, back in the first half of the 20th century, the Church accepted a person’s word that they wanted to serve Christ and His Church, and many Homosexuals used this to get into the seminaries and become priests and, later, even Bishops. Most of those have either died or been retired, or been outed and turned over to authorities. Very few or none of those cases are less than 10 years old. Sorry, but for the most part, the Catholic clergy is being cleaned up already.
BTW, the Protestant clergy is still having major problems in this regard. There is normally no single Church authority to go after them, sorry to say.
According to studies:
Because the RCC followed the Leftists’ Mental Health Professionals' advice…
The Catholic Church does indeed have a problem with homosexual and/or pedophile priests, and those who are doing it should be prosecuted, removed, and imprisoned!
HOWEVER, …
1. There are organizations out there whose goal is to “Get Catholic Priests” for molesting children, whether they actually did it or not! No FACTS are needed or wanted. Just Persecution, Prosecution, and Removal, or Imprisonment. They are following Vladimir Ilyich Lenin’s advice on eliminating political opposition: “Vilify, vilify! Something will stick!” and utilizing his quotation: “A lie told often enough becomes the truth.”
2. Why the FOCUS on Catholics ONLY?
Sex abuse cases involve many other organizations that are having the very SAME problems as the Catholic Church, such as: other religious denominations, Boy Scout Leaders, Royal Rangers, Doctors, Teachers, Politicians, Hollywood, Day-Care Centers, Schools, Coaches for Youth Sports Teams, the Olympics, and other people with authority over youth. However, the MSM (Mainstream Media) refuses to make those incidents into anything more than just LOCAL News and only reports and disseminates as such, it seldom becomes NATIONAL News… if it ever even makes the news!
3. In 2017, USA Gymnastics established a body called SafeSport, which is charged with investigating allegations of abuse in youth sports. In 2023, the center received over 7,500 reports. However, SafeSport is widely thought to be slow and ineffective. Out of Seven Thousand Five Hundred reports, you have only heard about THREE, from several years back.
4. The Boy Scouts of America (Now known as “Scouts BSA”) has recently allowed homosexuals and pedophiles into their membership, even though they are currently being sued for Billions because in the past, Scouting Youth were molested by Scout Leaders and others in Scouting.
Welcome to the website for the Scouting Settlement Trust The Scouting Settlement Trust evaluates sexual abuse claims against the Boy Scouts of America. The Scouting Settlement Trust was established on April 19, 2023, from the Chapter 11 bankruptcy of the Boy Scouts of America (“BSA”) to fairly, consistently, and efficiently evaluate survivors’ sexual abuse Claims.
5. How does one successfully defend oneself against something that was “supposed” to have happened in the utmost secrecy 10 or more years ago? For instance, where specifically were YOU, exactly 6 months ago, who did you see, or not see, in your wide circle of acquaintances? Now make an account for yourself for every minute, for just those 24 hours. Now, PROVE IT! Would that be difficult for you, or IMPOSSIBLE? Yet, priests who are accused of molesting children many years ago, and without a shred of evidence, except the accusation! How is it possible to defend oneself when you are being raked over the coals, for something you may or may not have done?
6. Of course, no one would ever think of lying and “Jumping on the Band Wagon” of falsely accusing a Catholic Priest of molesting them 30 years ago, just for the Court to award them a Million Dollar Settlement?
7. It seems that the Statutes of Limitations and standard Rules of Evidence are often not applied when someone is out to get a Catholic Priest.
8. Leftists are now wanting to make Child Molestation or being a pedophile LEGAL, under “sexual orientation laws” for the so-called ‘minor-attracted persons’; however, it is the same Leftism that is out to get ALL Catholic Priests.
EXAMPLE: The homosexual-dominated non-denominational ‘Metropolitan Community Church’ (MCC) should be renamed as: “The ‘church’ of the Wholly Pedophile”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolitan_Community_Church
MCC has been a leading force in the development of “queer theology” since 1968.

This is a lesson in sexual political reality. “Two sociologists who studied MCC in its formative years found magazines with ads for sex next to devotional literature. One congregation member referred to its youth ministry as — the ‘Chicken Coop’ because it attracted predatory older men, known as: ‘Chicken Hawks.’” Not one of the Leftists or the MSM criticizes a homosexual church for preying on adolescents. The phrases ‘Chicken Coop’ and ‘Chicken Hawk’ are just two of the 254 words used to refer to “BOYS” and the Men that molest boys in the “The Queens’ Vernacular” dictionary. It is referred to as “The Everyman’s Dictionary to the Gay Underworld.”
But because the MCC are Leftists, there is no one reporting on this!

Editor’s note – CAUTION: Although a Sociologist, Judith Reisman wrote this document, the contents are of an extremely vulgar & sexual nature that most readers will find highly objectionable!
The Presbyterian Church (Totally Non-Biblical!) has recently included the “Drag Queen Storytime” during Services at least at one church. (This is also being done in many public Libraries!)
The Methodist Church and The Episcopalian Church – Both (Totally Non-Biblical!) currently believe in women pastors, ministers, and bishops, artificial birth control, and they accept homosexuality as being normal and good, despite Romans 1:26-27 and many other Bible passages. These two “churches” are currently undergoing a 21st-century reformation of themselves, with individual congregations breaking away from their own hierarchy over the question of scriptural inerrancy concerning homosexuality. Many are more concerned with going along with the current popular Leftist opinion trends of secular society than they are with being true to what Scripture actually says about homosexuality. The openly practicing Lesbian Methodist Bishop Dr. Karen Oliveto calls Jesus a ‘Bigot’ and Defends Demon Possession. (Totally Non-Biblical!)
All of these churches have recently included “Chrislam” as an accepted practice and belief. Any church that accepts “Chrislam” or “Christianized Islam” as an accepted practice and belief is NOT CHRISTIAN! (Totally Non-Biblical!)
How many of these so-called “churches” have chapters of the North American Man/Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) meetings on their church properties? They are a pedophile and pederasty advocacy organization in the United States. It works to abolish age-of-consent laws criminalizing adult sexual involvement with minors; one of their trademark phrases is “Sex before eight, or it’s too late”. This is an obvious attempt to remove the last perverted prohibition from our legal code as well as our societal safeguards to protect our children.
These horrific crimes have cost many thousands of victims more than we can imagine. But how much has this homosexual culture cost the Catholic Church? Its reputation has suffered greatly. However, laypeople who give their tithes and offerings must be appalled that, rather than feeding the hungry or providing other ministerial needs, the Church is attempting to compensate victims for the questionable damages, supposedly done by priests, to the tune of $3 billion.
Finally, the words of the Apostle Paul are especially damning (Romans 2:24): For, as it is written, ‘The name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.’
Funny thing…
Many of the same people who are condemning the RCC are fully supportive of all the Leftists’ Pro-Homosexual Agenda, supporting so-called transgenders, and the so-called “Minor-Attracted Persons” and the rest of that unscientific and un-Biblical heresy!
Many of these people have Openly Practicing Homosexual and Lesbian Ministers in their own churches! They are such hypocrites!
Yet when the RCC is involved, it is somehow much more evil than what they fully support in their own church, personal, and political life?

BLOCKBUSTER NEWS… that you still have never heard of!
Southern Baptist Sex Scandal Exposed -- Feb 2019
“A new investigative piece by the Houston Chronicle and San Antonio Express-News has revealed an alleged 20-year-long sex scandal within the leadership of several Southern Baptist churches. According to the investigation, about 380 leaders and volunteers within the church have been accused of sexual misconduct.”
But of course, you will NEVER hear this Blockbuster News from the Leftist-leaning MSM, because it did not happen at a CATHOLIC Church!
This was originally posted on the link below on Feb 11, 2019
Have you previously heard about this at all?
No!
Of course, you did not! It did not happen at a CATHOLIC Church!

Extraordinarily little, if any of this child molestation ever hits the Mainstream Media, unless it is an “accusation” against a Catholic priest, which may have supposedly happened 10, 20, 30, or even 40 years ago!
Doctors, Teachers, Coaches, Scout Leaders, and Protestant Preachers… just about anyone working with children is accused of committing Child Molestation all the time, but the MSM ignores it as ‘Just Local News’ if it even makes the news at all! But let a Catholic Priest be accused and it becomes National News…!
How do you possibly mount a defense against something that, if it had been done, it would have been done in a very secluded setting… and it was very many years ago!
Tell me, where were you, and what were you doing exactly 97 days ago?
Whom did you see, who did you not see?
NOW PROVE IT IN A COURT OF LAW!
Let alone what you were doing, and whom you saw on an uncertain date in time, THIRTY years ago!
But let a priest be “accused” of child molestation that “supposedly” happened many years ago, the Media crucifies the priest, and it is National News.
It could be that it is someone with an agenda, or just wants to jump on the ‘Gravy Train’ and sue the Church for millions, collect a huge settlement, and get his 15 minutes of fame?

The numbers below are from a Department of Education study conducted by Charol Shakeshaft at Hofstra University.
BTW, for your information, Hofstra is NOT a Catholic or other religious institution, and neither is the Department of Education, so there is no possible favoritism.
Please write down the following two numbers. Memorize them. Know what they refer to. The numbers are as follows:
143,000
422,000
The first number, 143,000, is the total Enrollment of children in Catholic K-12 Schools in the State of California.
The second number, 422,000, is the number of children in California Public Schools who have suffered sexual molestation by teachers and other Public-School employees. But you have never heard about these crimes!
In other words, the number of sexual abuse cases in California Public Schools is nearly THREE TIMES THE TOTAL ENROLLMENT of all the students in California’s Catholic Schools!
However, you seldom hear anything about any of those 422,000 cases! These numbers PROVE that Public School Child Abuse is grossly UNDER-REPORTED, and the crimes by Catholic Priests are greatly exaggerated as if they were the ONLY ones doing it!
Here’s the link: Teacher abuse crisis.
https://www.catholic.org/featured/headline.php?ID=5736
“The physical sexual abuse of students in (public) schools is likely more than 100 times the abuse by priests.”
If these numbers come as any surprise to you at all, then realize that no one is getting a bigger ‘pass’ by the MSM than the public schools.
Even if a sin is “legalized” by Man’s Laws, it is still a sin in the eyes of God.
• God’s own Word shall never change, no matter what his creation, which is humankind, deems as the new ‘reality’!
• GOD will NEVER approve of what GOD has condemned since the beginning of time, no matter what Man-Made laws are passed!
• Where in the Bible does it say that GOD will allow YOU to decide, or vote on, which of His Ten Commandments are currently relevant?
• The Ten Commandments were not created to be a pick-and-choose salad bar.
• Where does it say that GOD’s OWN Commandments shall be periodically updated?
It is: “Love the sinner but hate the sin!” -- St. Augustine of Hippo, A.D. 354 – 430.
1. Any so-called “christian church” that accepts abortion, suicide, euthanasia, transgenderism, and/or homosexuality as an accepted practice is NOT CHRISTIAN!
2. Abortion, suicide, euthanasia, transgenderism, and/or homosexuality are ALWAYS SINS!
3. Anyone who supports any of the above is giving homage to Satan!
