Found Guilty and feeling Guilty
Manage episode 352163673 series 3435725
This episode involve the running dialogue within my group about our Judicial in America regarding pedophilia.
I take my reading from Marquis De Sade’s Dialogue “The Priest and the dying man”.
The running dialogue involves the difference between revenge and justice for those prosecuted for the crimes of sexually abusing a minor. This is a topic which we discuss every time there is a news story about someone (teachers mostly) having a sexual relationship with a minor.
There was a time when the Catholic Church was suspect, and I suppose they still are to a certain extent, but the school system in America seems to have surpassed them in notoriety.
This episode also hints at a criticism listeners have had about my podcast: it is not positive enough.
I am not sure how to address this and perhaps I was selfish in its birth and fanciful in its utility for others. I don’t know.
I will say that I am grateful for those of you that do listen and decide to chime in on the topics I discuss.
