Mass paedocide (mass murder of children) is an extreme case of paedocide (pedocide; murder of a child) and far, far worse than the appalling crime of paedophilia (pedophilia; the sexual abuse of children). Yet despite Easter being a festival celebrating Spring and New Life (like Holi in India), neither the Pope nor the Archbishop of Canterbury made any reference in their Easter Messages to the topical issue of clerical sexual abuse of children, a glaring omission that has been noted by the Mainstream media. Yet the Mainstream media also ignored an even more outrageous omission: that the Pope, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the Catholic and Anglican Churches ignore US Alliance mass murder of about 1,000 Muslim Children every day in the American Empire under Emperor Obama.
The Anglican Church head, Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams, recently created a huge storm by making the following comments about Catholic Church inaction (and particularly Irish Catholic Church inaction) over child sex abuse by paedophile Catholic priests (see: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2010/apr/03/archbishop-canterbury-ireland-catholic-credibility ): "I was speaking to an Irish friend recently who was saying that it's quite difficult in some parts of Ireland to go down the street wearing a clerical collar now. And an institution so deeply bound into the life of a society suddenly losing all credibility – that's not just a problem for the church, it is a problem for everybody in Ireland ."
After outcry from Catholic clergy, the Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams subsequently stirred the morass even more by apologizing for his comments (see: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/8602402.stm ; he doesn't hold these views any more?): "I was saying sorry that I had made life more difficult for the Archbishop of Dublin and his colleagues who have been trying to tackle this crisis with great imagination and honesty ”.
More fuel was then added to the fire because both the Pope and the Archbishop of Canterbury avoided any mention of the Catholic Church child sex abuse scandals in their respective Easter messages.
However, in relation to the holier-than-thou pontifications of the clerical head of the Anglican Church, Dr Rowan Williams (Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is the actual legal Head of the Church of England as well as Head of State of the UK and Aparthied Australia), let's remember Jesus Christ's statement: "he who is without sin cast the first stone".
I repeat that mass paedocide (mass pedocide, mass killing of children) is worse than paedocide (pedocide, killing of children) and far, far worse than paedophilia (pedophilia, the vile sexual abuse of children).
Yet the UK , home of the Anglican Church and for which the Archbishop of Canterbury is a major spiritual leader, is intimately involved in the following mass ongoing mass paedocidal (mass pedocidal) atrocities (data from UNICEF: http://www.unicef.org/infobycountry/index.html ).
Palestinian Holocaust and Palestinian Genocide: post-invasion excess deaths 0.3 million, post-invasion under-5 infant deaths 0.2 million, 7 million refugees; Occupier Apartheid Israel passively murders 0.9 x 4,000 = 3,600 Occupied Palestinians infants each year (see: http://sites.google.com/site/palestiniangenocide/ ).
Iraqi Holocaust, Iraqi Genocide: 1990-2010 excess deaths under Sanctions and Occupation 4.4 million, under-5 infant deaths 2.0 million; 5-6 million refugees; war criminal Occupiers UK and the US Alliance passively murder 0.9 x 311,000 = 279,900 under-5 year infants each year in gross violation of the Geneva Convention (see: http://sites.google.com/site/iraqiholocaustiraqigenocide/ ).
Afghan Holocaust, Afghan Genocide: 2001-2010 excess deaths under Occupation 4.5 million, under-5 infant deaths 2.4 million, refugees 3-4 million (plus a further 2.5 million Pashtun refugees from NW Pakistan); war criminal Occupying UK and US Alliance passively murder 0.9 x 41,000 = 36,900 under-5 year infants each year in gross violation of the Geneva Convention (see: http://sites.google.com/site/afghanholocaustafghangenocide/ ).
It has been estimated that about 1,000 Muslim children die avoidably due to US Alliance war crimes in the American Empire every day (see “ Hey, hey, USA, how many kids did you kill today? Answer: 1,000 ”, Bellaciao: http://bellaciao.org/en/spip.php?article18750 ).
Yet not a pip from the Pope, the Archbishop of Canterbury, or the Anglican or Catholic Churches over US Alliance mass murder of Arab and Muslim children (for details and documentation of this continuing horrendous atrocity see "Muslim Holocaust, Muslim Genocide": http://sites.google.com/site/muslimholocaustmuslimgenocide/ ).
Indeed the horror is set to get worse. Both Dr James Lovelock FRS (Gaia hypothesis) and Professor Kevin Anderson ( Director, Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, University of Manchester, UK) have recently estimated that fewer than 1 billion people will survive this century due to unaddressed, man-made global warming – noting that the world population is expected to reach 9.5 billion by 2050, these estimates translate to a climate genocide involving deaths of 10 billion people this century, this including 6 billion under-5 year old infants , 3 billion Muslims in a terminal Muslim Holocaust, 2 billion Indians, 1.3 billion non-Arab Africans, 0.5 billion Bengalis, 0.3 billion Pakistanis and 0.3 billion Bangladeshis (see “Climate Genocide”: http://sites.google.com/site/climategenocide/home ).
Now if miracles actually occur and by some miracle the Archbishop of Canterbury or the Pope were to be drawn into a public discussion of the mass murder of Muslim children by the racist Zionist-beholden US Alliance, they might plead that apart from (regular) collateral damage from civilian-targeting US bombing, the brave US Alliance storm troopers are not actually shoving bayonets into Muslim babies.
However whether a Muslim child in the Occupied Palestinian, Iraqi or Afghan Territories dies from bombs or bullets or from Occupier-imposed deprivation and deprivation-exacerbated disease, the end result is the same and the moral culpability the same.
We know that the racist Zionists have ben blockading the Gaza Concentration Camp (1.5 million inmates, 800,000 of them children) for several years and if you consult the World Health Organization (WHO) you will find that the “total health expenditure per capita” permitted by the US Alliance Occupiers in Occupied Iraq and Occupied Afghanistan is US$124 and US$29, respectively, as compared to US$3,122 (for Occupier Apartheid Australia) and US$2,784 (for Occupier UK) (see WHO: http://www.who.int/countries/en/ ).
All decent people abide by national and international laws, respecting the words of Jesus Christ: “ Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's” (Matthew 22.21, the New Testament of the Holy Bible) and so the Pope, the Archbishop of Canterbury and all world leaders (except for the leaders of the war criminal US Alliance and racist Zionist-run Apartheid Israel) would recognize the obligation to abide by Articles 55 and 56 of the Geneva Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War which demands that an Occupier should provide its Conquered Subjects with food and medical life-sustaining requisites “to the fullest extent of the means available to it” (see: http://www1.umn.edu/humanrts/instree/y4gcpcp.htm ):
“ Article 55
To the fullest extent of the means available to it the Occupying Power has the duty of ensuring the food and medical supplies of the population; it should, in particular, bring in the necessary foodstuffs, medical stores and other articles if the resources of the occupied territory are inadequate.
The Occupying Power may not requisition foodstuffs, articles or medical supplies available in the occupied territory, except for use by the occupation forces and administration personnel, and then only if the requirements of the civilian population have been taken into account. Subject to the provisions of other international Conventions, the Occupying Power shall make arrangements to ensure that fair value is paid for any requisitioned goods.
The Protecting Power shall, at any time, be at liberty to verify the state of the food and medical supplies in occupied territories, except where temporary restrictions are made necessary by imperative military requirements.
Article 56
To the fullest extent of the means available to it, the Occupying Power has the duty of ensuring and maintaining, with the cooperation of national and local authorities, the medical and hospital establishments and services, public health and hygiene in the occupied territory, with particular reference to the adoption and application of the prophylactic and preventive measures necessary to combat the spread of contagious diseases and epidemics. Medical personnel of all categories shall be allowed to carry out their duties.
If new hospitals are set up in occupied territory and if the competent organs of the occupied State are not operating there, the occupying authorities shall, if necessary, grant them the recognition provided for in Article 18. In similar circumstances, the occupying authorities shall also grant recognition to hospital personnel and transport vehicles under the provisions of Articles 20 and 21.
In adopting measures of health and hygiene and in their implementation, the Occupying Power shall take into consideration the moral and ethical susceptibilities of the population of the occupied territory.”
The US Alliance are grossly violating the Geneva Convention and hence are war criminally responsible for the estimated 1,000 child deaths every day under Emperor Obama in the Occupied Territories of the American Empire.
However silence kills and silence is complicity, whether it is silence over paedophiles or silence over paedocides. One supposes that the Pope and the Archbishop of Canterbury – and indeed all the clergy of the Catholic, Anglican and other Christian Churches - are conscious of their accountability to Higher Authority as set out in the following very well known injunctions of Jesus in relation to Care for Children and which He has presented very forcefully (these quotes are taken from the wonderful King James Version of the Holy Bible):
“Mark 9:42. And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
Mark 10:14. Suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of God.15 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. 16 And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them. Matthew 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
Matthew 18:10. Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven. Matthew 18:14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
Mark 9:42. And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. Mark 10:14 Suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of God.15 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. 16 And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.
Luke 17:2. It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.”
And if He exists, may the God they believe in have mercy on their mass paedocide-ignoring souls.

He has just published a revised and updated 2008 version of his 1998 book “Jane Austen and the Black Hole of British History” (see: http://janeaustenand.blogspot.com/ ) as biofuel-, globalization- and climate-driven global food price increases threaten a greater famine catastrophe than the man-made famine in British-ruled India that killed 6-7 million Indians in the “forgotten” World War 2 Bengal Famine (see recent BBC broadcast involving Dr Polya, Economics Nobel Laureate Professor Amartya Sen and others: http://www.open2.net/thingsweforgot/bengalfamine_programme.html ).
