In the land where Consent is the Sole Criterion of the Good, it’s just a matter of time before our sexually libertine Chattering Classes make this move. Shows and characters like this help to soften the ground, just as the endless tide of sympathetic portrayals of abortion, euthanasia and homosexuality softened the ground for our present acceptance of these things.
The amazing thing will be when the day comes that our Chattering Classes and Manufacturers of Culture simultaneously celebrate pedophiles, condemn the Church for not protecting children from pedophiles, *and* condemn the Church for condemning pedophilia.

The “sensitive yet controversial” Tony Award winning Broadway play “celebrating” pedophilia is about five years away.
You’ll see.
