Dutch Catholic Church Castrated Men To Cure Homosexuality


The Netherlands- The Telegraph is reporting that in the 1950’s, the Dutch Catholic Church, used castration on at least 10 young boys who were suffering from the “disease” of homosexuality.

Dutch journalist Joep Dohmen, reporting for the NRC Handelsblad found a shocking amount of evidence that at least 10 young boys were castrated for homosexuality. One of the boys was a minor who was castrated for reporting sexual abuse by the clergy.

The evidence in record shows the minor was transported to the hospital and castrated for homosexuality, and even more upsetting, it was in the report that one of the crimes he was castrated for was tattling on the clergy. The clergymen involved in abusing him were disciplined .

Three months ago a report was published in the Netherlands by the Deetman Commission. The report explicitly detailed reports of sexual abuse in the catholic church. The Commission acknowledged that they had reports of the castrations but specifically left them out of the report because they felt they had insufficient evidence to include them.

The castration reports show that the clergy decided that the parents of the boys who were to be castrated were to not be told of the decisions, even for the minors. Government officials were present at these meetings.

The Deetman Commission, led by Wim Deetman, was founded by the Catholic church in 2010 following widespread reports of sexual abuse in the church.The report found that more than 10,000-20,000 children were abused by the church while they were in church institutions.

Do you think this scandal is going to hurt the Catholic Church any further than it already has?
