Few people realize that the Catholic Church has enormously powerful protective energy mechanisms because the Church has a very strong egregore behind it. Compromising the Catholic Church is practically impossible. The fact that information about pedophile scandals has even reached the media is a sign that this is just the tip of the iceberg. What is being reported in the media is not even 10% of the cases. During the era of Pope Benedict XVI, pedophile affairs were swept under the rug. Until recently, we thought that sexual abuse by priests was a phenomenon only in the churches of Western Europe and the USA; later, information about scandals in Slovakia was also reported in the media, including Bishop Chautur.
Furthermore, the efforts of Pope Francis should be appreciated, as he stopped covering up pedophile scandals and began to speak openly about these issues in order to address them. He issued regulations on how pedophile scandals should be handled. If it weren't for this Pope, pedophile cases would continue to be covered up. At one meeting of the Pope with bishops, the main topic was the resolution of pedophile scandals.
Until recently, believers and priests were convinced that it was just an inflated media campaign against the church, but later it turned out that numerous pedophile scandals really exist, and today even most believers and priests recognize that it is a significant problem for the church.
Bishops logically do not want to investigate pedophile priests because, on the one hand, it is an unpleasant thing to investigate their own colleagues, and also, if it starts to be investigated and the pedophile case is confirmed, it will cause greater media interest, which will cause a bad name for the church.

Why are there so many pedophile scandals in the Catholic Church?
It's completely logical. A Catholic priest has mandatory sexual abstinence (=celibacy), and is also forbidden from masturbation. Sexual energy has nowhere to go, it accumulates and then shoots out where it shouldn't. If the church allowed them at least masturbation, but it doesn't. The Catholic Church would rather cover up and tolerate pedophile priests and abusers than allow them to masturbate. Absolutely perverse logic in the entire church, including laypeople, priests, and bishops. The Catholic Church is a satanic organization, connected to dark forces.Furthermore, the church places enormous emphasis on sexuality, on restricting sexuality, and this church teaching and brainwashing in seminars can have the exact opposite effect on priests – the more they suppress their sexuality, the more they desire it.
Jan Rozek – persecuted by the church for dealing with pedophile scandals
More about Jan Rozek hereJan Rozek is a conservative Christian, a church judge who decided to establish an organization to help victims of sexual violence by priests. Jan Rozek, as he writes on his website, was himself surprised by how many people wrote to him about sexual violence by priests. However, Rozek quickly fell out of favor with the bishops because the number of cases that the episcopal authorities had to deal with increased rapidly. The bishops are also very afraid of Rozek as a church lawyer because Rozek oversees the legality of the episcopal investigation of a pedophile priest. If a bishop were to sweep something under the rug, Rozek knows exactly what offense the bishop committed and could potentially report it to the Vatican, citing specific paragraphs.
The Czech Bishops' Conference issued a press release openly calling on the faithful not to contact Mr. Rozek in the event of sexual scandals, which is a gross arbitrariness of the bishops. Rozek's organization operates completely legally within canon law, even though it does not have a certificate from the bishop's office. There is such a thing as the obedience of the faithful to church representatives, so the faithful should obey the wishes of the bishops. On the other hand, the faithful should not be obedient stupid sheep; they should understand that this is an abuse of church power, that it is an arbitrariness of the bishops, and they should ignore the formal ban of the bishops.
Furthermore, several Catholic media outlets compromised Rozeka and discouraged people from organizing it, even though they had no moral right to do so.
Rozek could have been dangerous for church dignitaries also because he could have had access to the ecclesiastical court archives and found there many pieces of evidence about the proceedings of delinquent priests.
A Deeper Insight into Sexual Violence by Priests – Psychological Processes of a Delinquent Priest
I have been dealing with this topic quite intensively lately, as I personally know many priests and grew up in an ultra-conservative Christian environment. Just as a side note, I can say that, fortunately, I have not experienced any form of sexual violence or harassment.Since I have studied more about this, especially the quality professional articles of sexologist-psychiatrist Michal Patarák, I definitely have something to add to this matter.
As a person who has a lot of experience with altered states of consciousness in meditation, and I understand human consciousness quite well, having grown up in a strongly Catholic environment, I would like to express the following opinion on the subject. The problem of sexual violence lies mainly in the general suppression of sexuality in the teachings of the church.
The thing is, you can't suppress anything. The more you suppress sexuality, the greater the temptations to sexuality you will have. Some priests may actually succeed in suppressing sexuality, while others may be in a vicious circle where the more they suppress sexuality, the greater the temptation to sexuality they have. The more you fight against these sexual thoughts, the more energy you put into them, the more you feed them with energy, and thus these thought programs become stronger and control you more.
But why, when a priest needs sexual satisfaction, does he feel the need to rape someone, leaving the victim with lifelong consequences? Why can't he voluntarily agree to sex with someone? If a priest is homosexual, it's not easy for him to find someone with a homosexual orientation, so it's easier to rape a heterosexual. A priest may also sometimes have trouble finding a heterosexual partner, and sometimes it's better to rape a woman or a little girl than to actively seek a partner, concubine, or mistress.
Today, however, the situation is a little easier for priests – the Internet allows them to find a heterosexual mistress or a homosexual lover much more easily.
But beware – the problem doesn't end there – the new era of the internet can indeed reduce the number of sexual assaults by priests, but only partially. Let's take a deep dive into the mind of the perpetrator. The perpetrator has a split personality. One personality, the "positive" and virtuous one, tries to continue to adhere to all the teachings of the Catholic Church, including sexual abstinence, celibacy, and the prohibition of masturbation. The second personality, the negative, sinful one, is willing to commit sexual violence. The delinquent priest considers it a lesser sin if he "fails once" by raping someone, because God will forgive him, than if he were to find a stable sexual partner. This is truly church logic. In the Catholic Church, sexual violence will be tolerated, because God will forgive, it is after all a "one-time failure", how can the church allow them to have a partner? And this opinion is sometimes held by many church officials who do not have to commit criminal activity but tolerate it in their colleagues. It is a very twisted logic that a normal person can never understand, but we must realize that priests live in a completely different world of thought. I grew up in a fanatical Christian environment and I know the Christian world of thought very well, I know the egregore of Christianity very well, and I know that this is the case and many active believers perceive it similarly.
But it is still very important to specify and define what a one-time failure actually is. A one-time failure very quickly turns into regular succumbing to temptation, regular failures, but in the subjective perception of the priest, it is only an individual failure. And again, this reminds us of the dual personality of the priest, and each may see it differently.
So now, to get to the point of the whole thing. A delinquent Catholic priest does not even look for and does not try to find a regular partner with whom he would have sex voluntarily, because he would consider it a sin – after all, he needs to observe celibacy. This is not allowed by his "positive personality" in quotation marks. Furthermore, having a young boy alone in the rectory is not inconsistent with that positive personality – after all, it is not inherently wrong. The second thing is that then the negative personality becomes active, the aforementioned "one-time failure" occurs when they are alone in the rectory, and sexual violence occurs. Victims report that they were often repeatedly abused for several years.
What I am saying here may seem strange, weird, and illogical to many people, but please realize that the religious world of thought has a different logic.
The Czech homosexual deacon Jaroslav Lorman speaks of a very similar logic, and it is indeed true, that in the church homosexual promiscuity is more acceptable than a gay relationship based on love . Namely, promiscuity, or rather one-time sex, is perceived as a one-time failure.
The past. How was it in the church 200, 500 years ago or in the Middle Ages? Was there less sexual violence then or not? The truth is that the church then had a stronger political and social influence, and it fought against sexuality even more aggressively than it does today. I am personally convinced that there was the most sexual violence in the high medieval church.
The Dark Ages were also known for having a brothel at every turn, so it had the exact opposite effect of what the church wanted https://filozofia.nett.to/krestanstvo/sk/neuveritelne-je-naozaj-pravda-cirkev-v-minulosti-podporovala-prostituciu
If I understood Michal Patarák correctly from his blogs, only a small percentage of priest-perpetrators have a pedophilic sexual orientation from a psychiatric perspective, but even priests who are not pedophiles often exhibit pedophilic behavior. In practice, this probably means that a problematic priest is, in a sense, a sociopath, lacks communication skills, is unable to arrange consensual sexual intercourse with an adult, and so abuses a child who is more readily available. The low percentage of pedophilic priests could also be due to the fact that many delinquents never even saw a psychiatrist; the police or courts dealt with it exclusively, so they could not have had their pedophilic orientation diagnosed by a psychiatrist or psychologist.
Furthermore, I disagree with the opinion that the percentage of sexual violence cases among priests is the same as in other population groups , and I fear that official statistics would confirm this. Moreover, in the case of priests, these cases are only minimally reported and addressed. A priest, as a spiritual authority, can better manipulate the victim. The entire church has a strong protective energy field that completely paralyzes the victim from rising up and speaking out. And also, within the church, there is a strong mechanism to cover up and not deal with delinquent priests, and they continue to commit sexual violence. Furthermore, it is scandalous that the church, which preaches the minimization of sexuality to reproduction only, has sexual predators in its ranks who do the exact opposite. The church is the world champion in covering up not only sexual affairs but also any other affairs, such as the corruption case of the Ružomberok University ; it is about the aforementioned protective mechanism.
While in a secular environment, sexual violence is dealt with uncompromisingly, in the church, on the contrary, there are mechanisms to protect offenders, and they continue to commit sexual crimes.
I would like to point out that official statistics on the percentage of homosexual priests should not be trusted . The ordination of homosexual priests in the church is officially forbidden, so if a priest admitted to a homosexual orientation in a survey, he would be admitting to the offense of concealing his orientation before ordination, thereby risking suspension. Most priests simply do not admit to a homosexual orientation in surveys. Moreover, it is a very sensitive personal issue where people are often not honest.
Why has the Catholic Church deliberately tolerated deviant priests in its ranks until now?
If a priest commits a sexual offense, or if a believer reports such a case to a church official, then logically, church officials should investigate it and suspend the priest, prohibit him from acting as a priest, and remove him from the priestly office. However, this problem has one catch: if a bishop suspends a priest, then fellow priests and especially the faithful ask where that priest disappeared from one day to the next, why that priest no longer serves in their parish, and why he is no longer at the rectory. And that is precisely the problem. Even if the bishop didn't want to, he is forced to explain the reason for the suspension. The bishop would rather tolerate a delinquent priest than have the faithful find out that there is a sexual abuser in the priestly ranks. The problem is that often, in the case of a reported priestly offense, church officials were not even willing to investigate the case!!I certainly agree with Michal Patarák's opinion that cases are being covered up also because the church itself still functions as a corrupt dictatorial regime that is unable to admit its weaknesses and failures. A good example is present-day Russia. Anyone who knows something more about Russia knows that it is one of the most corrupt countries, but journalists are strictly forbidden to write about corruption, which is a crime. For writing about corruption, journalists risk going to jail. The political regime in Russia, although it itself realizes that corruption is evil, so fanatically wants to maintain a good credit in public opinion that it will punish journalists for writing about corruption. Currently, the church is no longer in political power, but the power-political mentality has remained in the church mentality to this day . A monarchist-dictatorial mentality, whose main goal is to maintain power and influence over society.
While in the secular political sphere, a politician has no problem talking about the corruption and offenses of their own officials who have failed, and doing so in the media at a press conference, the Catholic Church is no longer as transparent an organization as the state. If the church were to function truly transparently, it would have to hold a press conference for every delinquent priest where the episcopal vicar or diocesan spokesman would explain why the delinquent was suspended and how many victims he abused. The problem, however, is that the church operates on exactly the same principle as a corrupt dictatorial regime.
In conclusion,
The Church has declared war on sexuality, and we see the unfortunate consequences of this, that the results of this will manifest in a very distorted sexuality in the form of sexual violence.Making celibacy voluntary in the heterosexual context of marriage, the relationship between a man and a woman, would only partially solve the problem in the church, because a large part of the priests are gay.
The fact is that 30 to 50% of priests are homosexual. Allowing masturbation and a more tolerant attitude in the church towards homosexuality, even among Catholic priests, would paradoxically reduce the number of cases of sexual violence, as they could have regular partners.
