Redefining ‘pedophilia’ as a ‘sexual orientation’
WDTPRS ^ | 10/28/2013 | Fr. John Zuhlsdorf

I have written more than once that a goal of homosexualists includes the elimination of the age of consent.  Goals like this are attained through creeping incrementalism.

I just read this, from the University of Southern California:

Pedophilia Now Classified As A Sexual Orientation

People can classify themselves as heterosexual, homosexual, asexual, metrosexual. There are endless sexual orientations under the sun, and now, pedophilia can be added to the list.
In the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM V), the American Psychological Association (APA) drew a very distinct line between pedophilia and pedophilic disorder. Pedophilia refers to a sexual orientation or profession of sexual preference devoid of consummation, whereas pedophilic disorder is defined as a compulsion and is used in reference to individuals who act on their sexuality.  [First step, change the language, change definitions.]

APA’s decision has given rise to numerous pedophilia-advocacy groups, the chief of them being B4U-ACT, a non-profit grassroots organization based in Maryland. Created in 2003 primarily as a means for “minor-attracted persons” to be open about their sexual preferences in a supportive atmosphere, B4U-ACT is now widening the scope of their organization.

According to spokesperson and registered sex offender Paul Christiano, the pedophilia-advocacy group is “working towards de-stigmatizing the mental health community.” Christiano explained that negative societal attitudes towards minor-attracted persons “trickle down to policy-making and the mental health community.”

This is dreadful.

Can we now add homosexual disorder as a compulsion in reference to individuals who act on their sexuality?

The libertarians have already taken small steps in this direction by refusing to vote to enforce child porn laws.

In the book “Short Answers to the Tough Questions” by libertarian Mary J. Ruwart who was a leading candidate for the 2008 Libertarian Party presidential nomination

She wrote-— “”Children who willingly participate in sexual acts have the right to make that decision as well, even if it’s distasteful to us personally,” Ruwart wrote. “When we outlaw child pornography, the prices paid for child performers rise, increasing the incentives for parents to use children against their will.””

right here on this website they proudly say the government has no power to be involved in something like child sex prostitution and this would include child porn

Using the word ‘crap’ in public and in print, doesn’t seem very conservative.

Did you read through to the original web page and the comments?

Disturbing comments I might add.

This won’t take them nearly as long as homoacceptance did.

10 years, max before age of consent isn’t much above preschool. If that.

That shouldn’t amuse you, it should remind you to lay off of DU language.

Of course, the sexually perverse homosexuals wanted sodomy to be “normal” so they could then go after other sexual perversions like raping children.

The worst language I use is CRAP. They use “crap” in children’s movies and TV shows. No that this makes it okay, I just never thought of it as a curse word.

It is, and we all know what it means, the left keeps moving the goal posts, and TV and now the internet are the best tools they have.

Many of us have abandoned TV but it is tough to get on the net to read the news and political opinion and start the morning with some of the things that we see even here at FR, things that a lot of us wouldn’t tolerate in our homes and around our wives, girlfriends, kids, our mothers, it seems to be growing leaps and bounds.

It seems that 3 or 4 cuss words are becoming about 30% of many people’s vocabularies, they are used to describe everything, and of course describe nothing, but the users seem to think it is keeping it real, making it gritty, that it sounds hip or even more intimate, it seems to be the next level of the lower culture conquering the higher.

We watched this as black slang and high fives became the left’s hip “keeping it real” thing in the 1970s and 1980s, then tattooing, now cussing like an uneducated construction laborer or ghetto dweller.

So, like, I know, right?

Seriously I will try to be more aware of my language now.

How about a millstone tied around the neck and thrown into the sea?

Anyone thinking one of my children is part of their orientation will end up dead.
