In a day like today in 1517, a brave monk who was starving for justice, posted on the doors of his church what was known as the Ninety-five Theses. Martin Luther did this as a protest against the sale of indulgences of the Roman Catholic church of the time; In short, they were selling salvation, which was completely contrary to what the Christians were supposed to believe. The way they used to do it was by saying that people needed to actually pay money so that their loved ones could go to heaven. Priests would use soothing words, and the name of God and the pope as the highest authorities, to justify their desire for money. A saying became popular, attributed to a friar named Johann Tetzel, that persuaded people by telling them that "as soon as the coin in the coffer rings, the soul from purgatory [also attested as 'into heaven'] springs." These times were very critic for the church, and required of the faith of this young monk to bring reformation.
More than five hundred years later the word game has once again won territory among us, and this time by underestimating a perversion such as pedophilia. Yesterday the American Psychiatric Association announced that pedophilia will not be considered a disorder anymore; instead, it will be treated as a sexual orientation or preference. I can't but to question: who gave them the authority to come up with this nonsense? Unfortunately, the public did: WE DID!
We did when we decided to believe more in the so called "science" than in the established laws of God.
We did when we gave our back to God, and to the laws that are supposed to protect us.
We did when, as a country, decided that it's better for us to pursue our dreams regardless of the consequences they might imply for others.
We did, when out of selfishness are looking for our own individual benefit.
Up to what I know, the only people who support pedophilia are pedophiliacs themselves. Lets see now what the public will do: will they get persuaded into believing such a lie. I pray that we can be like Martin Luther and stand for what is right.
Are we going to leave our children in the hands of a society that is considering as normal when they get abused by perverts? Certainly not!
