WHY PUNISH ME? by Michael Moloney
WHY PUNISH ME?
Michael Moloney tells the story of how, as a vulnerable altar boy, he was psychologically and physically abused by Catholic priests. He explores evidence that abuse is more prevalent in churches than in other comparable settings, a finding supported by recent internationally accredited reports. Tracing the origins of clerical abuse, the author confirms the church has long provided a cover for abusers. Grimly, he shows how schools might be inadvertently smoothing a path for them. This book fills a gap in the shelf, lifting the lid on a story of abuse and religious indoctrination which continues to this day.
This is potentially of interest to anyone concerned with how we grow up, how we are shaped, and how the way that young people are drawn into whatever religious faith into which they are born, how this supposedly, avowedly benign process is enacted can have deeply malign effects on the individual and so on society in general.
It tackles – head-on – an important and pressing subject. it’s vital stuff. It’s about how we safeguard young people, how we grow up, how we interact with others.
Michael Moloney’s private perspective marks a milestone in religious critique. This book shows that the link between Christianity and paedophilia is probably less tenuous than we imagine.
Awesome how far Augustine’s tentacles of guilt and sinfulness reach. Alone among the world’s civilised nations, Britons are allowed to physically punish children because bishops sitting in the House of Lords advocate it.
I find your description of Christian education bizarre and offensive and your attempt to restrict our faith a danger to our traditions and dearest beliefs. You obviously need to seek help and assistance to overcome your present attitude and achieve a more balanced and generous view of religious faith and those who abide by it.
