Libido Redux: Pedophilia? Or Pederasty?

The British writer and social media troll Milo Yiannapoulos has become a target of the political left. By Catholic moral standards, Yiannapoulos' private life is abhorrent. While he uses profane language, he has repeatedly written against the killing of unborn children in abortion. Though he is homosexual, he has spoken against same-sex “marriage.” He has also spoken out against contraception, having written more on this issue than most U.S. bishops. He repeatedly praises traditional sex roles, and has consistently defended the teachings of the Catholic Church.

Milo says same-sex “marriage” would encourage young people to think same-sex relationships were okay which, he says, they are not. Recently Milo has justifiably gotten into trouble for mentioning his learning gay sex when he was 14 from a priest, and speaking positively of the relationship a 13-year-old boy may have with an older gay man. As a result, his speaking engagement at this week’s CPAC was nixed. Furthermore, his book deal with Simon & Schuster was cancelled, and he resigned from Breitbart News.

We must clarify something here. What Milo described most certainly was not pedophilia, i.e., sexual contact with pre-pubescent children. He described pederasty, an old (and current) practice among homosexuals where an older man will teach a young boy about the world and also sodomize him.

Pedophila is illegal, as is Pederasty, but only when it involves a boy under the age of consent—16 in the United States, 14 or 15 in much of Europe.

As I discussed in The Smoke of Satan in the Temple of God, the priest sex scandal was almost exclusively pederasty—homosexual men preying on teen boys—though even now is still presented in the mainstream media as pedophilia. So Milo told the truth when he said this coupling is seen by homosexuals as important to confused teen boys, though they are keen on denying it. Thirty-seven percent of homosexual and bi-sexual men relate that they had sexual contact before age 19 with an older partner. The Sigma Project in Great Britain found that 50 percent of homosexuals had their first same-sex experience with an adult by the age of 14.

Bisexual Mr.Robert Lopez, who was raised by lesbians, and opposed to gay ‘marriage, said recently:  “…what [Milo] said is quite common in gay subculture, almost banal….It is naive to think that you can encourage a 7th grader to identify as gay and then be shocked when he has sex with a man. Given the shortage of gay-identified boys within his age range, he will probably be initiated by an older man and then fall in with increasingly older men until he’s now 15 and sleeping with 45-year-olds.”

This was the case with college student Tyler Clementi, who fell in sexually with older men, and eventually jumped off the George Washington Bridge in New York. His death was blamed on the “homophobia” of his roommate, who could have been forced to see Tyler with these older men in their dorm room.

Ex-gay porn acto Joseph Sciambra too writes on this subject. He is now a faithful Catholic, and tells of the time when as a boy he finally had the courage to walk into a homosexual bar, encountering a large number of older gents eager to show him the ropes. Hurt by his own relationship with his father, Sciambra enthusiastically sought asylum there. He says the same story can be told of practically all gay men, though they will not acknowledge this. In  two articles for The Weekly Standard, Mary Eberstadt shows that pedophilia and pederasty are respected subjects in gay literature. So, what Milo described is common in the homosexual world. 

Milo describes himself as a Catholic who “would be far worse if not for the Church.”

You may be repulsed by Milo and justifiably so, but what if a thoroughly repentant Milo is next to you in the pew one day? Oremus.

Blessed Paul VI

P ope Paul VI will be beatified Sunday at the Vatican. While he is perhaps best known for his decisive 1968 encyclical on the regulation of birth,  Humanae Vitae , he will also be remembered as a man of extraordinary gifts who was burdened by the tumult the Church faced during his 15-year papacy. His election as Pope Paul VI in 1963 required of him to bring the Second Vatican Council to a conclusion and oversee its implementation. Having taken the name Paul to signify the Church’s mission to evangelize the whole world, he made nine overseas journeys, beginning with the Holy Land. Unhappily his pontificate was marked by a series of crises. Both heterodox and traditionalist Catholics considered him feeble and vacillating, though for differing reasons, and he was tormented to the point of once saying that “the smoke of Satan” had entered the Church. It was this phrase which caught my attention to the point of research for a book on the  Church in the U.S.  si...

Are We in a War?

Power Line POSTED ON   NOVEMBER 22, 2020   BY   JOHN HINDERAKER  IN  DEMOCRATS ,  LIBERALS ,  SOCIALISM FIGHTING WORDS, BY DAVID HOROWITZ Our friend David Horowitz wrote this essay, which he titled “Fighting Words.” It is a call for freedom-loving Americans to fight back against the totalitarian Left. By now it should be obvious – even to conservatives – that we are in a war. It is a conflict that began nearly fifty years ago when the street revolutionaries of the Sixties joined the Democrat Party. Their immediate goal was to help the Communist enemy win the war in Vietnam, but they stayed to expand their influence in the Democrat Party and create the radical force that confronts us today. The war that today’s Democrats are engaged in reflects the values and methods of those radicals. It is a war against us – against individual freedom, against America’s constitutional order, and against the capitalist engine of our prosperity. Democrat radi...

Paul VI Wakes Up!

     -from  The Smoke of Satan in the Temple of God: ….In effect, a “rival magisterium” of theologians and religious education experts had arisen, taking upon itself the authority to say what Catholic teaching was and was not after Vatican II. Paul VI noted this, alarmed at the apostasy of these neomodemists in not believing the fullness of Catholic teaching handed down from the Apostles and interpreted for the faithful by the Vicar of Christ in union with the successors of the Apostles. The Pope’s alarm was evident in his call for the Church to observe a “year of faith” in honor of Sts. Peter and Paul: We wish to address a special exhortation to those engaged in the study of Sacred Scripture and theology, to collaborate with the hierarchical teaching authority of the Church in defending the true faith from all error and in sounding its unfathomable depths, in correctly expounding its content and in drawing up reasoned norms for its study and spread. This sa...

Tolkein, Paul VI, and the Devil

In 1941, Tolkien wrote a masterful letter to his son Michael, dealing with marriage and the realities of human sexuality. The letter reflects Tolkien's Christian worldview and his deep love for his sons, and at the same time, also acknowledges the powerful dangers inherent in unbridled sexuality. From the letter: This is a fallen world…. the dislocation of sex-instinct is one of the chief symptoms of the Fall. The world has been 'going to the bad' all down the ages. The various social forms shift, and each new mode has its special dangers: but the 'hard spirit of concupiscence' has walked down every street, and sat leering in every house, since Adam fell….The devil is endlessly ingenious, and sex is his favorite subject. He is as good every bit at catching you through generous romantic or tender motives, as through baser or more animal ones.  Tolkien advised his young son that the sexual fantasies of the 20th century were demonic lies, intended to ensnare u...

On Marriage and Family

Today should one attend a wedding, it is quite possible that the parents of either the bride or groom in attendance will be married, either in the Catholic Church or outside it, to someone other than the one they were first married to. In such a case, one would find oneself praying that the offspring of said marriage will not meet with the same fate.  The state of marriage today is what it is in part due to poor sacramental preparation in the years immediately following Vatican II for reasons I take up in my book, another fruit of the “sexual revolution” . Sad, but as is well-known, many young Catholics these days are delaying marriage, hooking up, practicing birth control, and  cohabiting  before getting married. Traditional marriage is under assault, and many baptized Catholics are joining in the attack, especially in favoring “same-sex marriage.” Thus it is inspiring to see the shepherds of the flocks gathering in synod to discuss “the pastoral challenges o...

Message to The Stressed from Covid-19

I cannot recommend more the following letter I received from our Chaplain where I am employed. It reminds me of Pope St. JPII! April 19, 2020 Divine Mercy Sunday  Dear Marian Sisters and Brothers,   Happy Easter!  I write this letter to you from our Chapel in the Rectory and am entrusting each one of you to Jesus through the intercession of His Blessed Mother.  He is Risen!  Today, He brings to us the fruit of His passion, death and Resurrection … Mercy. Blood and water poured forth from the heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us, soak it in on this beautiful feast day.   I chose to write a letter, and not record a video because the exercise of putting thoughts to paper allows a person to really pour himself into the message.  And writing a letter before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament creates an intimate space for both you and me.  As I write each sentence to you, the Lord is able to interact with me and what you read reflect...

On Follow Up

Having worked for the Church for my entire adult life, I have encountered many women whose stories have proven that abortion hurts women, not only the ones denied life, but those who, for whatever reason, choose to end life. Here are some given in response to yesterday's post on Emily, for whom I now pray. Please watch this....

Dancing With Mr. D: Grooming the Little Children

A former pro-transgender activist said she regretted her previous work in pro-transgender activism, adding she felt she was "indoctrinated" on gender ideology in an interview with  Fox News Digital.  "I started to realize that what I had been doing at my job at the LGBT Center, it was grooming," Kay Yang, a former employee of a location in New York, said. Grooming in this context means "to get into readiness for a specific objective." Kay works as a 'deprogrammer' to help parents and children who have been 'indoctrinated' by the 'cult-like' transgender agenda. Yang herself previously went by they/them and worked as a 'trans educator' in schools for years.  Listen to her testimony.    

On the Universalist Heresy

  Universalism is the speculation that we can know with certainty that every single human being or possibly every creature, including the devil himself, will be saved, and was condemned in 543 by the Church. It dates from the time of Origen in the third century, with his defense of what he called “Apocatastasis,” the notion that all things will be all in God—everyone shall be saved. I dare say it is a belief well-established among Catholics today, supported   by some Catholic theologians predisposed to this view.   Universalism stems from doctrine of hell, the idea that people might be separated from God for all eternity and endure eternal conscious torment because of this alienation. Universalist theologians, following Karl Rahner and Hans Urs von Balthasar say that Universalism represents the triumph of hope over biblical evidence. Yet t he Church has taught from the beginning that both heaven and hell exist, and there are two possibilities for each of us: eternit...

A Book for all Seasons

  Decades as a Christian leader — most notably at the U.N. as president of the Center for Family & Human Rights — have earned writer Austin Ruse, once a Washington liberal with little faith, his share of defeats and triumphs. Perhaps most valuably, he has intuited keen tactical insights from his confrontations with the dark side of human nature. You come away from this groundbreaking book with the sense that Ruse knows the enemy better than the enemy knows himself.  In Under Seige, Ruse carefully examines how the anti-Christian forces gained power over every elite institution in America. He exposes their most deviant plans for the future. He then issues his authoritative call to arms, brilliantly arguing that there is no finer time to be a faithful Catholic. God Himself called each of us to live in this time and place, to contribute to the renewal society and the Church, and to vanquish the enemies of civilization. Ruse argues that each of us is called specifically to th...
