There is not a word in the New Testament speaking against pedophilia. I wouldn't expect any help from the Catholic Church. There is a glaring, unstated loophole that allows for child sacrifice and pedophilia. I mean, even God sacrificed his only begotten son...didn't he?
Romans 1:24-28
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Those quotes are open for interpretation and are posted all the time to debase homosexuals, lesbians, transgenders...but until TODAY have not been used to debase pedophilia and child sacrifice. Why not until TODAY? What have our religions done to protect the children since?
Because until "today" no one has ever had the nerve to even suggest that pedophilia or child sacrifice is anything less that the horror that it is. Only now are we seeing attempts by Salon and a few other outlets to write articles attempting to normalize such sickening behavior. Only now is there widespread public disclosure on the internet about the global problem. I would consider any religion that doesn't condemn it to be satanic.
Thank you! There are a large amount of Christians here and I'm glad we are all in agreement that something needs to be done, but I don't think we are going to come to a solution in religion but in DNA testing and tracking, etc. We also have to vet our politicians better because they seem to be using their power to run pedophile rings the same as the Catholic Church has done. This appears to be humanity's job.

They've done a pretty terrible job, I agree.

I think you're right. I believe God has put this firmly in our hands - it maybe our last chance.
