Catholic Church, a sexual abuse cult
I have written many commentaries decrying the institutionalized criminality of Catholic priests raping little boys.
In this regard, iPINIONS cites such commentaries as
- “Pope Accused of Harboring Pedophile Priest,” March 16, 2010,
- “Justice Begins for Victims of Child Sexual Abuse in the Catholic Church,” June 23, 2012,
- “Sexual Abuse Allegations Against Pope’s Adviser Damns Papacy,” June 29, 2017, and
- “Confirmation! ‘Pedophile Priests’ Is Redundant,” August 15, 2018.
And two years ago, when reports revealed that priests were raping nuns almost as often as they were little boys, I had just cause to wonder, cynically,
- “Are Priests Who Rape Boys More Forgivable than Those Who Rape Nuns…?” February 7, 2019.
Nuns are captive accomplices and predators
Since time immemorial, nuns have served as little more than proverbial Stepford wives in the Catholic Church. They’ve suffered the most insidious form of Stockholm Syndrome. It manifests as religious catechism that requires them to sacrifice their own souls, to say nothing of their bodies, in misguided service to Bishops and parish priests.
Of course, it’s well-documented that systematically abused people often become abusers themselves. That’s why it’s shocking but unsurprising that nuns would sacrifice children’s bodies too.
Hell, one can even see these nuns performing the role “wives” play in The Handmaid’s Tale, namely holding down the arms of victims during the “Ceremony of ritualized rape.”
The following excerpt from a report in the February 2 edition of The Daily Beast exposed this latest layer in the onion of depravity that is the Holy Roman Catholic Church:
A jarring report outlining decades of rampant child sex abuse at the hands of greedy nuns and perverted priests in the Archdiocese of Cologne, Germany, paints a troubling picture of systematic abuse in the German church. …
The alleged abuse went on for years, with one of the males claiming the nuns even frequently visited their college dorms after they had left the convent. He said the nuns often drugged him and delivered him to predators’ apartments. The Order of Sisters of the Divine Redeemer did not answer multiple requests for comment about the allegations.
‘God is dead’
This insidious abuse raises the question:
- Are these “orphaned boys” the product of priests who raped nuns, which I wrote about in the February 2019 commentary cited above?
In other words, priest A rapes nun B, who gives birth to boy C, who is then groomed by nun D to be raped by priest E … if not priest A (adding incest to make it truly diabolical). Now, if you’ll forgive this mixed metaphor, multiply that a thousand times, and we’d still only see the tip of the iceberg of depravity lurking beneath the surface in the Catholic Church.
Commenting further risks beating a dead horse. Therefore, I shall end with a benediction that explains this and every other institutional sin committed in God’s name:
- It’s self-evident that many Christian leaders don’t believe God exists. This includes nuns, priests, evangelical pastors enabling Trump’s crimes, and prosperity ministers fleecing their flock. Because if they did, they would never even think of doing the “sinful” things they do, let alone with the presumed impunity with which they do them.
In The Gay Science (1882), Friedrich Nietzsche famously reasoned that
God is dead.
He argued that Christians were committing such ungodly sins, “the belief in the Christian God has become unbelievable.” In fact, Nietzsche’s intellectual indignation was such that he insisted only a “madman” could believe in the existence of God.
Of course, when you consider all the crimes against humanity that have been committed throughout the ages, not just in the name of God but by his most trusted servants, Nietzsche makes sense, no?
