                           CHRISTIAN CHILD ABUSE
                           ---------------------

   "Paedophilia is the most serious problem we in the Church have had
   to face for centuries." Rev.  Thomas Doyle 1987.

   Christianity encourages perversions such as child molestation because it
represses normal physical drives as 'sins'.

   "It is good for a man not to touch a woman", states Paul (I Cor.  7:1)

   Jesus is even worse:  "But I say unto you, that whosoever looketh on a
woman lustfully has committed adultery with her already in his heart."
(Matt.  5:28)

    It's no wonder that such repressive commandments which christians must
obey lest they burn in hell, result in various psychological abnormalities,
such as preference for little boys.

    The following are some examples of christian child abuse, extracted
from the book Christian Child Abuse:  The Reality.

    (1) 1979, Newfoundland, Canada.  Fr.  Kelly convicted of 10 sexual

   "Because of the position of trust and authority a priest holds in a
child's life, when sexual abuse takes place the greatest damage done to the
child is the betrayal of trust.  The damage is much more severe than sexual
abuse by a stranger or baby-sitter."

         Dr Mulry Tetlow, clinical psychiatrist & ex-Jesuit priest
