You're putting me in prison, you're doing all these terrible things to me. I have to define my love as being in some way or other illicit. What I think is that paedophiles can make the assertion that the pursuit of intimacy and love is what they choose. When we surrender to rage, disappointment, sunder our minds and spirits in shards, and try to feed our children stones rather than bread, cast us not aside. That is usually an essentially negative definition.
Paedophiles spend a lot of time and energy defending their choice.
I don't think that a paedophile needs to do that. When we are lost and searching for something, anything, to make it better for us and our children, take us by the hand and lead us to a place we can start again. In theological terms, sex has been the way that human beings have tried to avoid dealing with the mystery of the Trinity, the mystery of Unity. Sex is penultimate. L. Finally, when we and our children are safely home with you, and we can start the party you have promised us all, be there with us to watch the lambs and lions play, the children and the serpents snuggle, fathers and mothers laugh, clap hands and cry for joy, and be pleased at the life of children created as partners with you.
