Pope's preacher: Abuse critique like anti-Semitism
YES BECAUSE THE CENTURIES OF HATRED TOWARDS JEWS THAT LED TO THINGS (JUST SOME OF THE BIG THINGS) LIKE POGROMS IN RUSSIA, THE HOLOCAUST CARRIED OUT BY NAZI GERMANY, AND THE SPANISH INQUISITION IS TOTALLY THE SAME AS CRITICIZING THE INSTITUTIONALIZED SEXUAL ABUSE OF HELPLESS CHILDREN BY MEN IN POWER.
I'm angry about people using history of marginalized history in a poor manner AGAIN because they refuse to look at the big elephant in the room.
However, I want to take a step back on the antisemitism on this post (though it's very important and I fully support people raging about it in comments) and focus on the part that hurts me the most, personally. I was sexually abused by a man in power over me. Someone who was supposed to protect me. My father.
That the Catholic Church refuses to fix the problem of their priests who are supposed to protect and guide against sexually abusing helpless children they are supposed to protect and guide pisses me off so much. This is rape culture. This is the toxic rape culture that we live in.
This is people in power who'd rather keep onto that power, that power to abuse children, than actually try and fix this institutional problem to help helpless children from being sexually abused.
There is no gray here. This is black and white. As human beings, we should be all about trying to remove the posing influence that gets children sexually abused. As Christians, who follow Jesus, the Catholic leaders need to fucking take Jesus words about children to heart.
I'm saying this as someone who considers herself a decent human being. I'm saying this as a person who was sexually abused as a child and loathes the fact that right now a little children are being sexually abused right now, some by Catholic priests. Knowing that I'm saying this from that point of view - and pretending it's anything like the hatred against Jews is dishonest at best and evil at worst.
Saying this as someone who is planning to convert to Judaism - that's a whole other bundle of words that I'm not emotionally up to saying.
