Wait for the outrage against "Pedophile Producers" in three, two, one....

....*crickets*

Mark Shea has a post on Corey Feldman's claim/revelation that he and his friend Corey Haim were molested by a coterie of Hollywood pedophiles - although "ebophiles" is probably more accurate - in their early teens.

If only people in Hollywood could marry...

...none of this would happen!

As the reaction of our elites to Roman Polanski made clear, sexual abuse of children is fine if you are the right sort of Roman.

Speaking of which:

If a small group of psychiatrists and other mental health professionals have their way at a conference this week, pedophiles themselves could play a role in removing pedophilia from the American Psychiatric Association’s bible of mental illnesses — the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), set to undergo a significant revision by 2013. Critics warn that their success could lead to the decriminalization of pedophilia.

I reiterate my prediction that the day will come when the Church is condemned, not for failing to prevent pedophilia, but for trying to prevent it.

Here is the Corey Feldman article:

Actor Corey Feldman has sensationally claimed that his Lost Boys co-star Corey Haim was the victim of a paedophile who was also a Hollywood mogul.


The Lost Boys actor said he was 'literally surrounded' by paedophiles at the age of 14, but didn't realise 'until I was much older what they were and what they wanted.'

In a special report, 'Underage And Famous' for ABC's Nightline show, Feldman blamed former co-star Corey Haim's death at the age 38 on the abuse he suffered at the hands of a 'Hollywood mogul' he refused to name.

And here is the article on the effort to normalize pedophilia:

Child advocate Dr. Judith Reisman, a visiting professor at Liberty University’s School of Law, said the conference is part of a strategy to condition people into accepting pedophiles.


“The first thing they do is to get the public to divest from thinking of what the offender does criminally, to thinking of the offender’s emotional state, to think of him as thinking of his emotional state, [and] to empathize and sympathize,” Reisman said. “You don’t change the nation in one fell swoop; you have to change it by conditioning. The aim is to get them [pedophiles] out of prison.”

According to Reisman, empirical data show that pedophiles typically molest many children before finally being caught.

Michael Coren points out that this has been a long term weltenschuaung among the formers of popular culture:

In 1977, the French newspaper Le Monde published an open letter signed by sixty-nine French intellectuals, including Jack Lang, a future minister for culture and minister for education, and Bernard Kouchner, a future minister for health and president of Médecins Sans Frontières, along with luminaries such as Jean-Paul Sartre, Gilles Deleuze, and Roland Barthes. They were protesting the imprisonment of three men accused of having sex with thirteen- and fourteen-year-olds. Ministers Lang and Kouchner have both been strong critics of the Roman Catholic Church and its handling of the abuse crisis.

The horror that our formers of popular culture and our intellectual betters express about "pedophile priests" is undoubtedly strategic. Its purpose is nihilistic - to remove the moral authority of religion, so that in the absence of such authority they can "immanentize" their perverse Gnostic eschaton.
