catholic discipline
anyway, there is one aspect of the roman empire that most people don't know about or gloss over. that is their penchant for pedophilia and pederasty. felini tastefully portrays this in one of his masterpieces - 'satyricon.' two men fight over the affection of a seventh grader and guess what, nice guys do finish last.
in thinking about all the trouble certain catholic priests have gotten themselves into regarding them having sexual relations with little kids, i had an epiphany. these are all priests > priests of the catholic church > priests of the roman catholic church > the roman catholic church being living remnants of the holy roman empire > the holy roman empire being a remnant of the pagan roman empire. i mean, the catholic church inherited roman polytheism in it's worship of saints, why wouldn't it have inherited it's pedophilia?
i thought about this after cruising through my chinese neighborhood and realizing that i never hear about this sort of thing coming from their ethnic group, though it could be under-reported. dunno.
i can’t imagine how that could be confirmed. possibly examining data on rates pedophilia across the globe and if those folks were raised by europeans and if those people were and so on. there would be room for error in that many places probably don’t even acknowledge it. so i would imagine that it’d be pretty much impossible. just a theory at this point.
