Circumcision turned into porn by Catholic paedophile
By Barry Duke
JUST under a month ago I drew readers’ attention to
a conference
taking place in the UK next month to discuss the issue of unnecessary
circumcision. It is to be held on Thursday, July 26 at Keele University,
Staffordshire, and will explore how boys might be protected from being
unnecessarily damaged by the practice.
Ahead of the conference, Glen Poole, Strategic Director of
The Men’s Network, this week launched
a petition, calling on the UK Government to end unnecessary circumcision in Britain, and I would urge you to sign it.
In my original blog, based on a report that pressure was being put on
the Australian Government to end the ban on elective male circumcision
in public hospitals, and to substantially increase the Medicare benefit
for the procedure, I pointed out that this pressure had come mainly from
The Circumcision Foundation of Australia.
The Foundation, I noted, was led by Sydney University biologist, Professor Brian Morris, who
thinks circumcision should be mandatory. I have since learned that Morris is a member of a sinister outfit called the
Gilgal Society, a UK-based not-for-profit organisation that exists to:
Provide accurate, medically approved, information about male
circumcision and its benefits in terms of health, sexual satisfaction
and self-image.
Gilgal is Hebrew for “hill of foreskins”, and the society, according
Circleaks (motto: A place to learn about those who fund, promote, and
profit from circumcision) is headed by a devout Roman Catholic called
Vernon Quaintance, 68, who was employed as a sacristan and server for
something called the Order of Malta’s Mass.
According to this Circleaks
page:
Groups such as the Gilgal Society, the Acorn Society, and the Cutting Club
openly admit to a morbid fascination with circumcision to the point of
sado-masochistic fetish. These groups advertise that doctors are among
their members. There are those on the Internet who discuss the erotic
stimulation they experience by watching other males being circumcised,
swap fiction and about it, and trade in videotapes of actual
circumcisions.
The Gilgal Society has even published a
book containing stories eroticising the circumcision of minors. Here’s an extract:
… the boys were given plenty of wine to relax them. … the
discussion was about the sex lives of the boys and their school friends.
The doctor asked how often the boys wanked. … The doctor showed the
boys his microscope and asked if they had ever seen sperm under one. …
He suggested to Mark that if he wanted to, he could have a quiet wank
whilst Neil was being circumcised… This was eagerly accepted. … He lay
back with his eyes closed and just let the doctor get on.
In April this year, Quaintance, from Upper Norwood, became a member
of another “exclusive” club when he was put on the Sex Offenders’
Register after being
convicted in the Old Bailey of possessing a stash of child porn.
But, despite having three video cassettes with nine-hours’ worth of
clips showing boys as young as 11 engaging in sex acts, Quaintance
avoided a jail sentence. The retired telephone engineer was handed a
40-week jail term, suspended for two years, ordered to complete a sexual
offenders rehabilitation course, and told to pay £300 costs.
Residents in Henley Gardens, where Quaintance is known as “the
respected head of the local community association”, were shocked to hear
of his conviction. One neighbour, who did not want to be named, said:
I know he is a very religious man and is committed to the church.
Curious as to whether, in the light of Quaintance’s conviction, the
Gilgal Society was still publishing circumcision porn, I clicked on the “
Publications” link, only to receive this message:
We regret that as a result of major computer failure none of our publications are currently available to order from us.
Let’s hope its “computer failure” is terminal.
NOTE: There also a
petition calling for a halt to female genital mutilation in the UK.
