Can pedophile Porter free himself ?

 I read in this morning's newspaper that ex-priest child

    molester, James R. Porter - scheduled to be released from prison in

    about a year and a half - wants JUST ONE MORE CHANCE ( Projo, page A2,

    July 15 )  .

                The reader may quickly wonder if he means one more chance

    to molest a child before he meets his Maker!  Nevertheless there is

    now a national mood of hysteria over the child molester- especially if

    he is or was a Catholic priest. And the mood is mindlessly punitive :

    Do not suffer a child molester to live in peace. Recall the Holy Bible:

    " Do not suffer a witch to live ! ".

                We have forgotten in our venomous wrath that the child molester

    is more often than not a pathetic VICTIM himself of mental illness -and

    himself  often a VICTIM of sexual abuse.

                 People seem to need a HATE OBJECT as an outlet for their own

    hatefulness. That is why warped prisoners just love to have a convicted

    child molester  among them to torment. The lowest of the low criminal

    is eager to torture him without mercy. In prison VIRTUE at times goes

    on a rampage !

                The news media has stirred up the virtuous public - itself

    fascinated by pornography- so much against the mentally ill and pathetic

    child molester - that it is not impossible to imagine  burning at the

    stake - a great  barbaric  entertainment - making a comeback in this

    " civilized " society.

               A guy like James Porter probably needs supervision for the

    rest of his life.  Can he control his own demons ?

             I have a theory that sexual obsession fills up a spiritual

    vacuum. Porter lost whatever FAITH he had in his Catholic religion a

    long long time ago.

                 And in general how often do people get into trouble in life

    merely because they forgot how to occupy their minds ? The Devil finds

    " entertainment " for idle minds !

              And legal as it should me, adult pornography  corrupts our

    minds. It is highly toxic and detrimental to intellectual serenity.

                  Our brainless culture  mass produces sexual perverts.

        Instead of a healthy curiosity about the wonders of the universe,

    they are forever curious about what's behind the green door ! And

    how exciting to find something more thrilling than Ivory Soap !
