The Decadence Of Godfried Danneels

The shaded material on the right is a clip from Kerk en Leven (Church and Life), in August of 1984. Kerk en Leven is the weekly magazine of the Catholic Church in Flanders. This, via DeepL, is the translation of the first paragraph of the shaded copy:

A few years ago, an ecumenical working group on paedophilia was established in Flanders. This working group, made up of Catholics and Protestants, aims to make the Churches aware of the phenomenon of paedophilia, to pass on information and to remove prejudices. The working group also wants to inform itself about everything that appears in the field of paedophilia. All are welcome who want to get to know paedophilia and paedophiles better, provided this is done in openness, respect and reliability.

The article goes on to say that they are meeting in a chapel, and that pastors are leading it.

The text on the left-hand column recounts what happened when a concerned mother wrote to Cardinal Danneels, and shared with him more information that she apparently got from the program happening under his auspices. Here is what the Pedophile Working Group advised:

• If your son or daughter feels the connection with the paedophile is fine, do not break that connection;
• The reaction of the environment is often more harmful than the events themselves;
• Many convinced Christians can learn something from paedophiles;
• It is preferable that a relationship of trust be established between the paedophile in the parents.

It is preferable that a relationship of trust be established between the paedophile in the parents.

Hmmmm ....

I have a very different take on the matter.

It is preferable that a relationship of being suspended by a noose be established between the pedophile and the nearest tree.

Just . . . wow. Those talking points could have come directly from Nambla’s PR department . . .

What more do we need to know about this perversion and those who practice it? They shouldn't ever expect respect nor that the parents of their victims treat them as anything but the depraved criminals that they are and see to it that they are prevented from carrying out their crimes on innocent children!

Here's my advice:

1. Shoot
2. Shovel
3. Shut-up

If Jesus tossed some tables over a little money making...what woukd Jesus do over a little penetrating? The guilty clergy need to know this will happen when found out....the fear of God needs to be made real close and personal just like a father talks close and personal to a young man dating his daughter.

Most homosexuals were sexually molested as children.

They seek to normalize their behavior to achieve easier access to MOLEST YOUR CHILDREN!

On page 37, the other relevant result relates to men.

The 13th research question addressed, of homosexual men who have been molested, what percentage were molested before self-identification as homosexual men, and what percentage were molested after self-identification as homosexual? Of homosexual men who were molested, 68% were molested before self-identification as homosexual, and 32% were molested after self-identification as homosexual.
