At Least Catholic Priests Were Breaking The Rules

What About These Others?, asks this Facebook Group:

- Harriet Harman and Patricia Hewitt, who ran the National Council for Civil Liberties when it was passing resolutions in support of the Paedophile Information Exchange and Paedophile Action for Liberation, and when it was publishing calls to legalise and destigmatise sex between adults and children;

- Stephen Fry, author of The Liar and The Hippopotamus, both of which glorify sex between men and teenage boys, exactly the acts that have brought scandal on the Catholic Church;

- Successive Chairmen and Controllers of Channel Four, in its dramatic output a relentless, publicly owned campaigner in favour of such acts;

- Peter Tatchell, who campaigns to lower the age of consent to 14, a change which, had it been in place, would have rendered legal almost every act of which any Catholic priest has been accused;

- Germaine Greer, author of The Boy, a book-length celebration of the sexual fetishisation of the adolescent male by both men and women;

And many, many more.

  1. It is curious how you always react to words rather than physical acts. Tatchell, Harman and Hewitt well known internationally, I think not.

    Another priest found to fathered children, in Mexico this time.

    "At Least Catholic Priests Were Breaking The Rules" They attained a state of grace? Oh, that's alright then.

  2. But you don't support Peter Tatchell's argument. So what point are you making exactly? Condemn him in order to condone priests. Not the moral high ground frankly.

  3. "Tatchell, Harman and Hewitt well known internationally, I think not"

    Then more is the pity. They certainly deserve such infamy.

    Anonymous 21:48, I am allowing up your comment as an example of the pure form of the hysteria of the evil side when challenged, as it is wholly unaccustomed to being.

  4. David, you seem to have trouble understanding the difference between 'consent' and 'age of consent'. Let me try and explain it to you.

    If a person is over the age of consent, it means that they are legally capable of consenting to sexual acts. It does *not* mean that they necessarily give their consent to any sexual acts in which they may take part. Rape is still rape, even if the person being raped is over the age of consent. Reducing the age of consent would not, therefore, make it legal for Roman Catholic priests to rape teenage boys.

    I hope this makes things clearer for you.

  5. By your own definition, they didn't. These acts would have been legal if, for example, Peter Tatchell had had his way.
