Catholic and Enjoying It!
As the reaction of our elites to Roman Polanski made clear, sexual abuse of children is fine if you are the right sort of Roman.
If a small group of psychiatrists and other mental health professionals have their way at a conference this week, pedophiles themselves could play a role in removing pedophilia from the American Psychiatric Association’s bible of mental illnesses — the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), set to undergo a significant revision by 2013. Critics warn that their success could lead to the decriminalization of pedophilia.
I reiterate my prediction that the day will come when the Church is condemned, not for failing to prevent pedophilia, but for trying to prevent it.
