Benedict Blames Church Scandals On Sixties

April 10, 2019 by sd

From the New York Post:Former Pope Benedict blames church’s scandals partly on the ‘60s

When Pope Benedict XVI resigned the papacy in 2013, he vowed to live the rest of his days in seclusion, to serve the Catholic Church “through a life dedicated to prayer.” But the Church’s spiraling abuse crisis prompted him this week to return to the limelight.

The Church’s still-radiating crisis, Benedict suggests, was a product of the moral laxity that swept the West, and not just the Church, in the 1960s. The young rebels of 1968, Benedict writes, fought for “all-out sexual freedom, one which no longer conceded any norms.” Benedict adds: “Part of the physiognomy of the Revolution of 1968 was that pedophilia was now also diagnosed as allowed and appropriate.” This might strike contemporary readers as puzzling. But those who lived through that wretched decade will remember that some of the leading ’68ers also advocated “anti-authoritarian education,” which involved some pretty ­unsavory interactions between adults and children. Hippie communes weren’t child-friendly places, either.
