For me as a Catholic, this is my thought on the paedophilia
The Catholic priesthood used to be a good place for a pedophile violent criminal absolutely immoral man to hide out, and avoid justice. If there were criminal naïveté, then the other priests were guilty of that, but criminal naivete only applies to people working in criminal justice, not to just anybody, and the priests aren’t trained and prepared for violent criminals, which probably describes most of us, or at least many.
I don’t think that they are under any moral condemnation for basically not being up to the challenge of a life and death battle of wits against a violent criminal, let alone a number of them. The violent criminals were able to avoid detection for a long time, they knew exactly how their victims were as people, and they selected them based on traits that were easy for them to spot, since nobody ever thought to hide them, or to teach their children to hide them.
So the violent criminals were hunting illicit prey in broad daylight, and their prey could not see them at all, and the family of the prey also could not see the hunter. The hunter is good at hunting, and he hunted for a place to hunt illicit prey, freely without fear of being captured or detected, and they found that, in the priesthood of Jesus’s own Church! There, is where violent criminals thought to try to hide, and did so successfully, for decades! . . . Before enough smoke forced naïve innocent priests, to admit and accept that they had been infiltrated by violent criminals, who targeted, children.
They’re untrained in this. Many of us are similarly untrained in this, dealing with violent criminals. Do you know any violent criminals? Have you met any? I can tell you this: It's very hard to not find them spooky.
You want to accuse the non-criminal Catholic priests because there were always children involved, you say that they had special responsibility, because they were responsible for the safety of children. Well, what did you expect them to do? They were already being hoodwinked, they were under the spell of violent criminals who take deception to the level of a fine art, they were tricked, they were suckered, through no fault of their own, but because they were being very deliberately deceived, by hardened, unrepentant, practicing violent criminals, into thinking that there was no problem.
That’s their mental state, the non-criminal Catholic priests, when they’re faced with an accusation, which to them appears to be from out of the blue. They ask around to other priests who know him personally, what’s he like? General questions. Or, they even just already know the guy themselves. And he gets accused, by somebody, whether a child, a child’s sibling on the child’s behalf, the child’s parent, or even you hear from a fully grown adult, that they were victims of a violent criminal, who you know as the parish priest down the street from you.
I don’t know if there were any parish priests who were violent criminal paedophiles. I wouldn’t be surprised, if it wasn’t all just the priests holding school administration jobs, that there is only one place for a violent criminal to hide in the Catholic priesthood. I wouldn’t be surprised if there were more than one place to hide in the Catholic priesthood, for a violent criminal who commits unconscionable violent crime against children.
The thing with the pedophiles is that they practiced. They weren’t repentant pedophiles who had harmed children but now will not; as bad as that sounds, it would have been far better than what happened, which was practicing paedophiles, who were able to hide, that they were pedophiles, and that they were actively practicing violent crime against children.
If there’s anyone, who’s doing anything spy-like, it’s not big tech, law enforcement, aliens or your neighbors. It’s a paedophile. That’s what a paedophile means. It means he was able to fool you so that he could commit violent crime against children, undetected, so you wouldn't know he was doing it. He is the sneakiest person you can imagine---he's way sneakier than you can imagine. He's 30 steps ahead of you. That's what it takes to trick your victim into not uttering a word of this to anybody, for 30 or more years. 30 steps ahead. That's how---it's tragic, but the right word is brilliant---that's how brilliant he is at deception, the paedophile violent criminal. 30 steps ahead of you.
The priests who are innocent were victimized by these violent criminals too. The Catholic priesthood bears a tarnish that it did not earn, it was the final lashing out by the paedophiles, who had already figured in, that if they were going to go down one day, 31 steps from now, that they were going to take everybody else down with them. The non-criminal priests were naïve. They trusted their fellow priests, their “brothers” too much, a little too much, in one particular way, and that’s all the paedophile violent criminals needed, just enough to sneak in to a very safe place for a violent criminal who wants to commit violent crimes against children, and not have anybody know, except the victims, and the violent criminal pedophile knows, how to keep his victim quiet.
He does it for multiple decades. His victims will not breathe about this to a soul, for at least, 20-30 years. Hopefully they figure something else out before that happens, or, they’re dead anyway.
And this is particularly important that it was the Catholic priesthood where they found a hiding spot. Not just because it was the right mix of social values for a brilliant deceiver to hide in, but because the paedophiles, in order to function as they do, must take to heart a philosophy that we can objectively characterize as relativism and nihilism, both of which are at direct odds with Catholicism the philosophy. Right in their midst, these non-criminal men of Catholicism, lived and worked with nihilists, who denied every article of the Catholic faith in their heart and in their head. Right in their midst, and they did not see them at all.
Just like all the child victims, and all the families of the child victims, the non-criminal priests also did not see these violent criminals, even though they were right there in front them all along.
