Religion Nothing Has Changed at Child Rape, Inc.

Posted by Dan Savage on Wed, Aug 3, 2011 at 12:15 PM

A child protection official for the Catholic Church has been caught with 4,000 pictures of child porn. Father-of-four Christopher Jarvis was arrested after uploading pictures of children being abused to a website. Married Jarvis, 49, a former social worker, was employed by the church following sex scandals about pervert priests.

I just assume they hire directly from the Sex Offender registry now.

Is having a sexual orientation toward children innately unnatural and abnormal?
How is attraction to children any less normal or natural than homosexual orientation?
The natural world is full of examples of adults engaging in sexual behavior with juveniles.

What do you expect when you hire a guy who lists "child pornography expert" in his resume?

Maybe nothing's changed at Child Rape, Inc., but around the corner at AFTAH, they've officially lost their nonprofit status:

A SOCIAL WORKER? Is no one trustworthy anymore?

I hate to think what else he might have done in the days when he had daily direct access to at-risk children.

At this point I feel like we should just arrest anyone the Catholic Church says is okay to work with kids. I mean, it's like they have super special radar or something.

Can't they even get the basic veneer right? It's like they want us to toss the entire Church into jail.

Hey, he got caught. The real test will be whether they try to cover for him.

Not trying to defend the guy, but the Mirror is a tabloid. I haven't seen this make its way to more legitimate news sources. Has anybody else seen it on a legitimate news source? I mean, I don't get my news from the Weekly World News, so I don't intend to take the Mirror's word on this :P
