Father Kung is the cause of Child Abuse

The loquacious dissenter is at it again, (despite being silenced since 1979) and telling the world and anyone who will listen that the problem isn't himself, or those like him, but rather, one of the very things which defines Catholicism, clerical celibacy. He's even used it as an opportunity to parade that tired liberal shiboleth that clerical celibacy is the reason for the shortage in the first place. Indeed, Father Kung's rhetoric as fatuous as it is, still plays well to the perfidious media and the jeering crowds who hunger for innocent blood.

He's described the Catholic Church in Europe as having "uptight" views. It's rather hard to describe the perpetrators of these crimes as "uptight". Father Kung sounds a bit like a hustler or a pimp romancing a potential victim than a Catholic priest. Is it any wonder that he's a byproduct of Tubingen University, a place that produces more ecclesiastical termites than most "Catholic" Theology faculties.

But let's not let facts get in the way of a rash judgement which many people never the less unthinkingly hold. Despite the fact that sex abuse is proportionately more common among married Protestant and Jewish clergy[1], he and others like him will continue to use the medias exploitation of the weakness of quite a few liberal and homosexual priests and religious for the benefit of an infernal programme designed to attack the Church.

Far from being a Catholic priest, Father Kung is actually one mouthpiece for a society of malice, like the jeering crowds at Golgotha who ridiculed Our Lord in the time of His Passion.

What he and other detractors of the Catholic Church's name don't tell you is that there is a lot more child abuse outside the Catholic Church than as a result of its clerics. It shouldn't be surprising if the Catholic Church suffers then from the same moral ills that society at large suffers, indeed, what's surprising is that it doesn't suffer them as much. In a twist of irony, the entertainment industry is far more likely to abuse children than the priests of the Catholic Church. A few directors like Roman Polanski, Woody Allen and Terry Gilliam come to mind, who have either taken advantage of minors or at least make allowances for it, and even portray the potentiality in a positive light as Gilliam did in his most recent and salacious film where he portrays a 16 year old "seducing" a man in his early thirties. In any event, people are eager to invite these abusive degenerates into their home while they snicker malevolently at priest and altar boy jokes.

Thank God for the many loyal priests and religious you may have known in your life and offer thanks for the Masses and sacrifices they've made to bring you the sacrament.
