FATHER TOM DOYLE – THE BACKGROUND TO CLERICAL SEX ABUSE.

11.47
You’ve nearly hit the mark.
Yes, it is a cult, not of Christ though, but of clergy, fundamentally of the episcopate. It is why RC bishops and their theologians devised the cod-theology of ‘Apostolic Succession’, to bind ordinary Catholics in abject and absolute obedience to these moral shysters, so that they could do to them what they wished. And they got their wishes by and large, for centuries: power trips, sexual exploitation of Catholic children, the gathering of mammon, worldly status, etc.
Their stormtroopers, priests, ensured that the episcopate’s whims impacted in every parish worldwide.
But what was in it for the priests? Why, mini powertrips in their own little fiefdoms, the bonus being episcopal protection, to the hilt, when one of theses natural-born perverts fancied a little kiddie-fiddling in his spare time. And he had plenty of that, since he did not have to work for a living, but sponged off Catholics who did.
They say the devil makes work for idle hands; and he did for these Christ-betrayers: a seeming never-ending conveyor belt of innocent children for their sexual, criminal, and cowardly exploitation. And all the while these child rapists, perverts, and soul murderers knew that, being so close to Jesus through apostolic succession, their bishops could pull a trick here and there to protect them from civil accountability. And boy! They did. For the priests who remained obedient to them, of course. And the vast majority were, apart from one or two honourable exceptions, Pat Buckley being one of them.
No, these men do NOT care about unborn life, not unconditionally, otherwise they would never have morally accepted the Augustinian error of just war.
War is indiscriminate: it kills where it wills. And this sometimes includes not just children, but human life in the womb. These men always knew this; Jesus knew it, too, which is why, in part, he forbade, absolutely, the deliberate taking of human life when he commanded his followers to love their enemies.
These men, the bishops, always knew this, but then, they were never, truly, disciples of Christ, but of their own pride, vanity, and conceit. No wonder they kept the Word of God from Christians for centuries, under even pain of horrible death, because they did not want them to know Christ for themselves, and to follow HIM.
What did Jesus say of Jewish leaders in his time? That they not only were keeping themselves from the Kingdom of Heaven, but others as well.
History is indeed circular in some, vital respects: it keeps going round and round; keeps repeating itself.

Just as the Gospel is endlessly repeated, in cycles, at Mass, so too must other truths until they are accepted and acted upon.

Change in the clerical hierarchy of the Church has been shown, historically, resistant to major change: to reform. This has come about only through pressure applied to priests of all ranks.

When you priests learn vital lessons here, and implement them, then there will be no further need to repeat the truths that clearly frighten you, ‘Father’.

But you shall, ALL OF YOU, change.
