@Krelianx I’m still on the fence on this one. I instinctively assumed the Church’s doctrine combined with isolation from “normal” sexual relationships had a big part to play in turning some priests to pederasts. However, a study released months ago claimed there was no higher percentage of pederasts in the Church than in other institutions, thereby denying any causal relationship between church and pederasts. Some people claim pederasts are pretty much “born” that way. What do u think?
you really should listen more closely, really.. and the change you’re talking about is not biological, it’s psychological
Why would the development of previously heterosexual males into pedophilia through their involvement with the Church be a matter of ‘unwritten rules’ and not of an involuntary and non-coveted biological change? Farmers develop zoophilia just like prison inmates homosexuality not because their institutions have an obsene undertext which reads ‘…and you can have sex with animals” or “…and you can become a homosexual!” The analogy with the Nazi example is not well grounded…
Who developed this concept of ‘the neighbor’ and what exactly does it explain?
“[. . .] the spear of influence” is a quote, but one such as this is less used. The use of theory is interesting.

wow. that “end of belief” stuff is scary. It reminds me of how quickly tasers have caught on in law enforcement.
