I don’t know of any posters here from Germany, but if so, sorry but this isn’t meant to make you look bad. 😶

This was a really interesting, somewhat difficult to read article on DW on some of the consequences following the era of sexual liberation:

Pedophiles in the guise of foster fathers — with vulnerable young boys in their care: The Kentler Project was just one manifestation of a perverted notion of Germany’s sexual liberation that goes back to the 1960s.

“Our lives have been ruined,” says Marco. He is one of the victims of the Kentler Project, which placed homeless children with pedophile men for decades.

Marco is now 40, but you would not guess it. There are no signs, either, of the traumatic experiences he went through, beginning when he was just nine years old. From that age on, he was at the mercy of a pedophile foster father, who sexually abused him over a number of years.

What makes Marco’s story, and that of many others, all the more shocking is that the Berlin authorities who were responsible for the welfare of the youngster apparently looked the other way and ignored evidence of the abuse he was suffering or, worse still, tacitly accepted what was going on.

“You can never really get over it,” adds Sven, who was sent to live with the same foster father, Fritz H, a man with a criminal record.


*The violence and the abuse they went through have left Sven and Marco with a profound sense of hurt. Both have struggled in later life. Both are dependent on state welfare payments.

But they have not given up in their fight — a fight to see those responsible for their suffering finally being brought to justice. That will not, however, include Fritz H; the former foster father died in 2015.

Well I’m going to go drink bleach. I didn’t even finish the article. I couldn’t.
 
No need to do that. Just through holy water in your eyes. Better to purify your vision than destroy your life. I’m not going to read the article anyway.
 
Read the article. It reminds me of all the trendy ideas we have going on nowadays that we will probably look back on decades from now and wonder why we ever trusted such obvious quacks.

Also, people are still trying to put a positive spin on pedophilic tendencies with the whole MAP phenomenon.

Great (terrible, but you know what mean) article.

2 musings:
  1. When you look at Europe, it has lost all moral high ground it ever had (and a hundred plus years ago it had a great deal of it).
  2. Over on another thread at this exact moment I’m arguing against what I call the “expertocracy” of “do whatever the experts tell you to do” in the US today and of course many disagree. Heck, this article is great evidence of what happens when a society over-relies on what so-called experts advise.
 
FOLLOWUP-- So I just read the wikipedia description for this Kentler guy. Sheesh, what an awful human being, who gussied up his truly sick and depraved views as “research.” Among his gems, he thought parents should encourage their children to have sex at a young age - before puberty.

I believe it was Chesterson who said, “when people stop believing in God, they don’t start believing in nothing. They start believing in anything.”

–And so it is with this whack job! What makes his insanity worse is how accepted it became. It’s like Europe was so collectively wrecked by the trauma of WWII that it started believing this man’s brand of evil/insanity would be a good idea.
 
Chesterson who said, “when people stop believing in God, they don’t start believing in nothing. They start believing in anything.”
Most common fauxtation associated with Chesterton. Often attributed, never sourced. Though there is a good idea how it came to be associated with his name.
 
I’d love to know who said it. As Admiral Ernest King once said about a quote attributed to him, “I didn’t say that but if I would have if I’d thought of it” or words to that effect.

–And it’s still a great quotation, regardless of source. 🙂
 
I think I once heard that someone said something like it, but if I did, it’s gone from memory.

I think the best idea of how it came to be associated with Chesterton (I’ve been a collector/reader/student of his for over 55 years) is found in a book on GKC by Emile Cammaerts: THE LAUGHING PROPHET. In discussing a Fr. Brown story, he interjected a line of his own, between several lines of GKC, from the story. Cammaerts’ words (page 211) were “the first effect of not believing in God is to believe in anything”, which were Cammaerts’ comment on what Chesterton was discussing: superstition.

The Chesterton Society seems to concur:
