REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY INTO SEXUAL ABUSE OF MINORS BY CLERGY IN THE PHILADELPHIA ARCHDIOCESE

Commission of Investigation -- Report into the Catholic Archdiocese of Dublin

"Otell Odono, medal of award and silver plate for having bested by two hours and twenty minutes the record established in the year 1960 in the Night of Silence competition." -- Temptations of Dr. Antonio, directed by Federico Fellini

Father Peter J. Dunne. ordained in 1954, served the Philadelphia Archdiocese as a teacher, pastor, administrator of a school for delinquent boys, and assistant director of the Archdiocese scouting program for 40 years. He remained a parish priest for seven and a half years after Archdiocese officials learned, in 1986, that he had sexually abused an altar boy who had been in the priest's Boy Scout troop. During those seven and a half years, Father Dunne was diagnosed as an untreatable pedophile. He personally paid $40,000 to silence a victim. The Archdiocese was warned repeatedly that he had many victims, that he was most likely continuing to commit sexual offenses, that he should not be in a parish setting, and that he should not be around children or adolescents.  Yet, not until a former victim threatened a lawsuit did Cardinal Bevilacqua in 1994 finally remove Father Dunne from his assignment at Visitation B.V.M. in Norristown.

In an effort to escape legal liability, the Cardinal chose not to place Father Dunne in a supervised living situation as his therapists strongly urged. A committee of Cardinal Bevilacqua's advisers concluded that "overwhelming evidence of pedophilia is here!" But, rather than take action to protect present and future victims, the Cardinal responded to concerns that the Archdiocese might risk being held liable for the priest's crimes if it tried to supervise him. Cardinal Bevilacqua permitted Father Dunne to retire to his rural cabin where he was known to take boys for sleepovers.

Gordon was 13 years old when Fr. Dunne made the boy handle the priest's genitals. Before long the priest was demanding "sexual contact," including "ejaculation and other deviant sexual behavior," whenever they slept together. This behavior continued until the boy was 17 and picked up again when Gordon was an adult.

Dr. Myers explained to the Archdiocese the devastating impact that Fr. Dunne's abuse had, not only on Gordon, but also on his wife, his children, his patients, and his medical practice. The therapist wrote that Gordon first came to him for help in September 1985, because Gordon's wife, "Bonnie," had discovered he had "sexual inclinations toward their son," who was 11 or 12 years old. It came out later that Gordon himself had begun abusing 12- and 13-year-old boys on camping trips when Gordon was an 18-year-old Eagle Scout. Gordon followed in Fr. Dunne's path (Fr. Dunne had been a Scout leader for years), becoming a Boy Scout leader and preying on his young scouts. In 1991 he lost his medical license for molesting boy patients.-- Report of the Grand Jury Into Sexual Abuse of Minors by Clergy in the Philadelphia Archdiocese

"Ruth told the Grand Jury that Fr. Cudemo would often insert a Host, the Eucharist, into her vagina and tell her she had 'fucked God' or 'fucked Jesus.' He told her she was a 'walking desecration,' that she was 'unworthy of God's love.' He made her feel ashamed, and then would hear her confession." -- Report of the Grand Jury Into Sexual Abuse of Minors by Clergy in the Philadelphia Archdiocese

"The Marquis de Sade was having intercourse with a whore when he proceeded to take the eucharist and insert it into her vagina.  Do you know what he said? 'If thou art god, avenge thyself.'  And what happened next? Nothing." -- Karomesis, imminst.org

"The 'priest' carried out the rite with the deconsecration of the Host (they assured me it wasn't a stolen host). He put it on the woman's body and then he quickly, quite in a furtive manner, dipped it in her vagina. Then he raised the chalice. The elixir, a mixture of sperm and vaginal secretions which serves for giving immortality and creating the 'body of glory,' had been prepared in advance and was ready." -- "What I Saw at a Black Mass -- An Interview with Massimo Introvigne"

"On March 12, 2004, the Archdiocesan Review Board unanimously found credible allegations that 'Smith took at least three boys playing the role of Jesus in the parish Passion play into a private room, required them to disrobe completely,' pinned loincloths around them, and then, during the play, encouraged 'other boys in the play to whip the Jesus character to the point where some of the boys had cuts, bruises and welts.'" -- Report of the Grand Jury Into Sexual Abuse of Minors by Clergy in the Philadelphia Archdiocese

"In the prayers, Satan is invoked and honored, and Jesus Christ is cursed: 'cursed Nazarene, abstractor of stupid parities, impotent king, fugitive god! O Infernal Majesty, condemn him to the pit, evermore to suffer in perpetual anguish. Bring Thy wrath upon him, O Prince of Darkness.'" -- Satanism Black Mass, by religion-cults.com

"In a May 25, 1948, letter to Fr. Knapp, Fr. Gausch wrote: 'This afternoon, Sister asked me if I would take some of the 8th grade boys to camp today. They are finished their exams and they are a job to keep in tow. I said yes.  We always do, you know.  She told me to take my pick.  Decision was based on anything but their qualities of soul, naturally. Kept the crowd small, purposefully. We worked for a while then lounged -- that's one name for it -- for at least two solid hours.  Result: one more ,e,ory [sic] with a capital' M'. It is the closest approximation to an old fashioned roll that I have had in years, and the subject was oh so satisfactory and (this is what makes the story) willin.'"-- Report of the Grand Jury Into Sexual Abuse of Minors by Clergy in the Philadelphia Archdiocese

It seems that Reuss worked along homosexual or at least homoerotic tantric lines (mutual touching of the phalli, the XIth degree under Crowley) but the central secret of his Ordo Templi Orientis was built around Richard Wagner's "Parsifal". The spear became the phallus while the Gral, of course, was the vagina which contained the "Grals-speise" (the nourriture of the Gral, that is, sperm and vaginal fluids). Reuss' O.T.O. system was formed on an utopian communistic society where the Mother (with references to the christian Maria) took central position in social and sexual life, called "community of Neo-Christians". 

Crowley played around with different sexmagickal methods.  Crowley's VIIIth degree unveiled to the "pupil" that masturbating on a sigil of a demon or meditating upon the image of a phallus would bring power or communication with a divine being/Super Ego. The IXth degree labeled heterosexual intercourse where the sexual secrets were sucked out of the vagina and when not consumed (when considered holy) put on a sigil to attract this or that demon to fullfill the pertinent wish/order.  In the XIth degree, the mostly homosexual degree, one identifies oneself with an ejaculating penis. The blood (or excrements) from anal intercourse attract the spirits/demons while the sperm keeps them alive. Crowley saw no use in the vaginal fluids nor did he think that women are divine, therefore he could not imagine lesbian sexmagick. He believed that "man is the guardian of the Life of God; woman but a temporary expedient; a shrine indeed for the God, but not the God."  Women exist for the use of men. His ideal female: "robust, vigorous, eager, sensible, hot and healthy". That is to say, his interest was in the woman's body and he wanted no spiritual or intellectual participation from her. -- Ordo Templi Orientis Spermo-Gnosis, by P.R. Koenig
