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.

Why the Devil is Pope Francis Talking about the Devil?

Because he is a Jesuit! As one who has written on spiritual warfare in the history of the Catholic Church, it is refreshing to have as Pope one so attuned to preset day realities!

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.    

Nuns' Story, or Call the Sisters

(Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham / Fr James Bradley) I have been watching the PBS series, Call the Midwives , which f ollows the nurses, midwives and nuns from Nonnatus House, who visit the expectant mothers of Poplar, providing the poorest women with the best possible care. As I observe the way these Anglican nuns are portrayed, it strikes me that they are more like Catholic nuns than many Catholic nuns after Vatican II (see chapter 5 of my book). Thus, the story featured in this post does not surprise me, especially after Pope Benedict's  launching of the United States’ ordinariate for disaffected Anglicans seeking communion with the Catholic Church.  From  the Apostolic Constitution  Anglicanorum Coetibus , given in Rome, at St. Peter’s, on Nov. 4, 2009: “In recent times the Holy Spirit has moved groups of Anglicans to petition repeatedly and insistently to be received into full Catholic communion individually as well as corporately.”

Et Lux in tenebris lucet et tenebrae eam non comprehenderunt

What Is the Source of This Darkness of Our Times? |Blogs | NCRegister.com : What prompted me to write a book about the current spiritual war ongoing in the world in which we live?  Stumbling upon this quote by the Pope of the  council,  Pope Paul VI : We have the impression that through some cracks in the wall the smoke of Satan has entered the temple of God: it is doubt, uncertainty, questioning, dissatisfaction, confrontation. And how did this come about? We will confide to you the thought that may be, we ourselves admit in free discussion, that may be unfounded, and that is that there has been a power, an adversary power. Let us call him by his name: the devil. We thought that after the Council a day of sunshine would have dawned for the history of the Church. What dawned instead was a day of clouds and storms, of darkness, of searching and uncertainties .  I am an avid reader of Msgr. Charles Pope, who has written recently on this our adversary in the NCR link above.
George Weigel has just published a proposed blueprint for  the “New Evangelization,” entitled Evangelical Catholicism which, to the extent that it is read will greatly amplify the New Evangelization, i.e., t he Church’s duty   everywhere and at all times  to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It was Pope Paul VI   who in Evangelii Nuntiandi observed that the work of evangelization was so necessary because of the de- Christianization of the twilight year of the 20 th century. Pope Montini noted the multitudes of baptized Catholics living lives that did not distinguish them all that much from those ignorant of the Gospel; also those who, while ignorant of the full gospel, nevertheless had faith and lived according to the natural moral law, and Catholics who desired a more heartfelt relationship with Jesus Christ not given emphasis in the catechesis they received as children. His successor Pope John Paul II said that his predecessor’s use of “New Evangelization” in Evangelii Nu

Divide et Impera

Mr. Patrick Boyden has penned a reflection   worth noting. In 2013 I wrote: Lest we forget, there were indeed reform-minded Council Fathers who responded to Pope John’s vision of the Church growing in spiritual riches as a fruit of the Council under the guidance of the Holy Spirit in the hope that the faithful might through grace be aided in turning hearts and minds toward heavenly things.  Given what has been said thus far, it should not surprise the reader that many “liberal Catholics” view the pontificate of John Paul II as too “conservative,” and out of touch with the modern world, while the traditionalists view the writings and teachings of the Holy Father as modernist! Thus the schema of “liberal” (progressive, left) vs. conservative (traditional, right) which followed upon the close of Vatican II is wholly inadequate for explaining the present-day crisis of faith within the Church of Jesus Christ, though it is most unfortunate that usage of these terms persist among ma
