I agree, folks. Any underage material of any kind summons tons of bricks time.

Yes, this is a ploy to smoke out responses from the majority of our 155 members who don't post.

It's also a semi-scientific way to find out what percentage of people with this fetish were raised in a faith whose central image is a vaguely effeminate, mostly naked guy hanging from a cross.

You need only answer yes or no. Further comments are at your discretion.

My answer: Yes. Attended parochial school until 9th grade to boot.

I was, and yes, until 10th grade here!

Nope, raised by athiests!
 
I was raised a Catholic,there were painting of the "Station of the Cross" inside the church of my childhood:they impressed me a lot;)

A great scene from Clockwork Orange by Stanly Kubrick:where Alex is in jail and he want to show the jail Priest that he is a good person by reading the Bible......
 
Yes Catholic, entire family was Catholic. In grade school I was an alter boy, knew the entire Mass in Latin. Had 4 years of Latin in high school and learned a lot of Roman history, daily life, government and military protocol. "Caesaris in Galliam vincibus est." ( Caesar is victorious in Gaul.) et cetera. Don't remember it all, but they rammed it into us..........

and as a former seminarian even not about indoctrinate
 
I was raised catholic, but I don`t think it has that much to do with my obsession. I can find myself in many of these comments.
When I was a child I felt guilty for my phantasies, even more for the thought
of naked male and female victims. I knew I was weird, compared to the others, but not out of control.
That was 40 years ago, back then I couldn´t realize, that I´m not the only one.
But it has always been a part of me, catholic or not.
 
No, I was raised in a family where hard science was the only truth
 
I had a full Catholic upbringing, with nuns as teachers. That is why sometimes I have erotic thoughts about nuns. It is all their fault I have a fetish, ha ha ( I would put a smiley icon here but my iPad will not let me, the keyboard layout hides the little fellows,and when I remove the keyboard and pick out a smiley the keyboard pops back up and the smiley is at the top of my post).

Can't you use a USB keyboard with it like I do with my Android tablet? Or if not maybe a bluetooth one?

You see this is exactly why all those tech industry muppets are way off the mark when they always say that desktop computers are dead and buried. I say to them that there will ALWAYS be a need for a proper keyboard and mouse. Touchscreens just don't cut it for anything other than the most basic short message typing...
 
From a two finger 'typist' I will add to DP's thought...

Us old farts can't even see the touchscreen without readers and barely with!!!!

Darkprincess69,
I will just go back to using my laptop. It is a old one, kind of bulky, uses windows XP. I just wanted to use the iPad for convenience.
 
Clout,
I don't think so, and if there were no Catholic church there would be a lot less abused children in the world. That is the biggest reason why I quit being Catholic a long time ago.

Let us take your logic further...if there were no child care homes and no foster parents there would be a lot less abused children...if there were no schools there would be a lot less abused children...if parents and families did not bring up their own children there would be a lot less abused children....oh wait your logic does not work.

The sad fact is that child abusers gravitate to institutions that provide care and protection for children. Such institutions must therefore guard against the enemy within as well as the enemy without. The Catholic Church sadly failed in this burden, repeatedly and consistently over many decades but among institutions both religious in inspiration and civil it is not alone in that.

The failure was one of a culture of complicity and silence that preferred to cover up abuses and not condemn and more importantly not see them prosecuted in court of law. This culture was widespread and not limited to the Catholic Church but afflicted many care homes, fostering agencies and schools representing differing faiths and none.

Fortunately that culture is changing, being chipped away piece by painstaking piece. There is increasingly a perception that there is no impunity for abusers however highly connected, that the police agencies of the countries in which their crimes took place will pursue those crimes whatever the passage in years.

None of this relieves the RC Church of guilt in this matter but it does place it in context. The Church only become a source of so much harm because it set out to do good but it ought also to be remembered that while there were failing it did not fail universally and a lot of good was done that otherwise would not have been done.
