QUESTIONS ABOUT THE VICTIMS OF CLERGY ABUSE
As I have been reading through the websites of Discordians over the last couple of weeks, a nagging question keeps recurring...are the Discordians and the victims of Catholic sexual abuse by clergy one and the same? Are some of the victims Discordians? Are any of them Discordians?
A curious website has turned up.
This is a support message board for victims. Scroll approximately halfway down the page to a post titled "News Flash" and click the link for the entire text of the entry. There you can read:
RE:Mr. Bob Matin
He claims to have been excommunicated from the Reformed Church of the
Subgenius , but there is no record of anyone of this name ever having been a
member.
It is not possible to get excommunicated from any denomination of the Church
of the Subgenius .
The only way to get disaffiliated is to RESFUSE to denounce BOB as the true
manifestation of J.R. Dobbs or not to send the 40 bux to them.

If you return to the original newsgroup page and look at the two messages beneath the entry about the Church of the SubGenius--"Cady Stanton on the Bible" and "Townsville bishop says victims more important than diocesan fina"--you can see that Bob Martin posted both of them.
"Bob" of the Church of SubGenius is either J. R. Dobbs or "Pope Bob" and former Playboy editor Robert Anton Wilson, I presume.
Discordians concentrate on spreading disinformation stirred in with accurate information. They do not object to lieing.
So I ask again, are the victims of clergy sexual abuse Discordians? Are they attempting to spread chaos magick in the Catholic Church while carrying off some of Her assets?
The Church of the SubGenius comes off looking like a group of court jesters. Discordianism has a serious side as well. For a look at it and a sample of the flavor of hatred of Christianity that at least some dedicated to chaos magick entertain, read through the text at this website.
It's time for Catholic journalists to start probing the lives of the victims who are suing the Church instead of allowing them to be misrepresented as children and adolescents in the daily coverage. They are grown men now. Are they trying to destroy the Church? We have the evidence of chaos in our midst. What is the source?
The fact that our bishops have appeared to be wolves in sheep's clothing does not preclude the possibility of wolves in victim's clothing.
Have some of our bishops cooperated with the victims in creating this chaos?

UPDATE
There's another mention of the Church of the SubGenius on another webpage in the same Support message board. Scroll down to the link titled "Dr. Sidethink interviews Catholic Music Professor." This one is a spoof "interview" by "Dr. Sidethink, Hp.D Papal Nuncio and Drill Bit Sales for Pope Bobby II Reformed Church of the Subgenius" with "Rev. Father Buckley Seinfeld." It was posted on January 9, 2004.

SECOND UPDATE
More of same.
----------------------------------------------
Most, or many of the Discordians are computer experts. Have they downloaded pornographic material into the computers of unsuspecting priests who were not guilty of anything? It would be a great Discordian joke to do such a thing. One link that Google turned up in the above search for SubGenius and clergy sexual abuse went to a particularly offensive porn site. The fact that "Playboy" lies in the background of this picture is certainly interesting.
Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us!
