GUANAJUATO, MEXICO - He says that he raped children because he was missing one testicle. Authorities should make sure he't missing both to justify his rape.
José Luis de María y Campos López, a priest of the Diocese of Guanajuato, justifies raping a child because he is missing a testicle. "I'm missing a testicle, so I have the urge to touch children," said the priest as an excuse to the mother of a child who he raped several times, also arguing that he was "the one chosen by God." The miserable has the protection of an authority of the Church, the same or worse, Bishop of León José Guadalupe Martín Rábago, former president of the Mexican Episcopal Conference (MEC) and known protector of pedophile priests.
It is worthy to mention that when Pope Benedict XVI visited México in March 2012 he refused to meet with victims of the pedophile priests, unlike in other countries where he did meet with them. The Vatican objected that he had an encounter with them. Martín Rábago was his main host in Guanajuato.
"Do not say anything of what I do to you, because something can happen to your mom or grandmother. Do no say anything, because something will happen to your little sister," he told the ten year old boy, acolyte of the María Auxiliadora parish, who he raped. The boy's mother sells furniture through the streets and is the breadwinner of the family.
One day the boy's mother heard the comments of two ladies: "One boy had said that the priest would pull down 'the pants" of the altar boys. When I got home I questioned my son, until he accepted what had happened."
"He told me it was several times." The boy told her that the last time, the priest had removed all his clothes and he began to cry but the priest told him not to cry, he told him that what he was doing was not wrong, "that it was part of being consecrated to God…" He would tell him "that he was the chosen by God and he repeated, what I am doing to you is not sin, I assure you." Then, he gave him communion.
María, mother of the child, went to confront the priest, but he apologized saying he had a "physical defect." Specifically that he was missing a testicle and therefore "touched children". He offered her money to buy her silence, but she declined.
Then she went make a report to Bishop Martín Rábago who refused to receive her for four days, until he finally agreed and said: "The priest tells me he only "touched" your child. It is better that you remain silent on this issue, otherwise it will affect you because the picture of your son would be printed in the newspapers." He later, also, offered her money. She replied: "What I want is that this man not remain being a priest." "What do you think? That I am selling my son?
The testimony of María and her son served to bring justice to the rapist priest María y Campos López in 2006. The judge in the Seventh Circuit Court, Nora Patricia Neri, sentenced him to six years in prison for corruption of minors and "erotic sexual abuse" against three altar boys between the ages of 10 and 14 years. In fact the victims were more, but chose not to report him.
The pederast priest received the full support of Martín Rábago. He hid him in a house in Guadalajara, Jalisco, but was found and arrested by the police. Then he tried to aid him to get him to go free, but he was not allowed. Then he chose expensive lawyers for his defense. It never ceases to grab our attention Rábago's excessive protection for the criminal in question.
Judge Neri in an unprecedented act in Mexico, condemned the religious to six years in prison and ordered him to pay 25 thousand pesos to cover the psychological treatments of his victims. Rábago reacted by saying that the children had lied: "… the statements of those who are called victims, are plagued with doubts, misgivings, they are obscure and even more, are false," he said. He continued protecting the pederast priest during his incarcerations at the prison in León, Guanajuato.
On his side, the spokesman for the diocese, Father Jorge Raúl Villegas Chávez, another wretch like Rábago, sustained that the accused priest was innocent, "the victims have economic interests and an interest of revenge,"he said. THe Archdiocese of Guanajuato were able to get the priest "released" before completing his sentence for "good behavior" and for achieving an "adequate degree of social rehabilitation." He served only four years and seven months in prison. He was never removed from the priestly ministry.
Villegas Chávez held a mass for him and in it he announced: "He can return to the priesthood when he decides. The crime he committed and sentence received does not make him worthy or does not make him able to receive the excommunication, if he wants he can continue his ministry, the law does not prohibit his ministry at all. He is a priest and event the worst of sinners deserve the indulgence, forgiveness. Jesus himself forgives Judas. We are not judges, it is God who must judge, and instead, we are here to give salvation as the Catholic Church".
Rábago, his protector and concealer, even disobeys the orders of the pontiff, Joseph Ratzinger in a document framed in the Canon Law that includes the extension of up to 20 years from the time of he prescription of crimes against minors, orders priests not to conceal the priests involved in such acts.
María y Campos López continues to exercise the priesthood in the state of Guanajuato.
In the face of so much wickedness, corruption and rot the commentary itself refrains from messing with any judgment. The facts only generate revulsion and nausea. And the dirty cassocks stink for the debased, corrupt and rotten meat they cover. Bad beasts that will be rid along with two thirds that will soon disappear by decree and judgement of…. The Man Christ Jesus!
