Stop portraying preists as pedophiles. Please, for literally God's sake stop. I get it, it happens. They're humans and humans can be horrible, horrible creatures. But please, please stop. It feels like every preist in media for the last ten-twenty years is either a pedo, a racist bigoted asshole, a satanic cult leader, doesn't actually believe in what they are teaching, or is otherwise a shitty human being.

Seriously guys. I realize it was funny in an ironic way for a time, but it stopped being funny when it became the norm. It's not even shocking anymore. The cliche isn't that "it's the Butler who did it" now it's the preist or pastor. It's usually more surprising when it ISN'T the preist/pastor. I can only name two times off the top of my head when in media from the last few decades had a priest as a major character for at least an episode and said priest wasn't a bad guy, and neither of those productions were created in America. (Those particular titles were legend quest and blue exorcist). You aren't clever or edgy by making the clergyman the bad guy. And the thing is, I don't think there's a real demand for this trope outside of people who genuinely hate the church/christianity.

There are a million other better characterizations you could have for a flawed preist. Give him a mental disability or illness. Give him anxiety or depression that makes him doubt himself as to whether he's actually a good priest. Give him dyslexia, causing him to be nervious every time he has to read a gosple out of fear of screwing up. Give him ptsd from a past trauma that makes him have to see a consular or therapist.make him have a past of sin from before he became a preist/pastor that he's ashamed of and wants to atone for but it still haunts him to this day. Hell, make him a fan of those over dramatic trashy soap operas.

But seriously. Stop with the pedo/cultist/hypocrite tropes. No other athority figure gets treated this way, even when there are alot more teachers and coaches who are pedophiles. These tropes are extremely damaging. Wanna know how I know? Because when a fairly devoted catholic like myself who has never experienced these chracteristics from an actual priest has an underlying instinct not to trust their own preist who they know is a kind and caring person because of these tropes, there's a big fucking problem.

Earthly frailty and its chief cause. – When we look around us we can always encounter people who have eaten eggs all their lives and have never noticed that the longer ones are the best tasting, who do not know that a thunderstorm is beneficial to the bowels, that pleasant odours smell stronger in cold clear air, that our sense of taste differs with differing phases of the moon, that speaking well or listening intently at mealtimes is harmful to the stomach. Even if these examples of a lack of power of observation may seem inadequate, one is bound to admit that most people see the closest things of all very badly and very rarely pay heed to them. And is this a matter of indifference? – One should consider that almost all the physical and psychical frailties of the individual derive from this lack: not knowing what is beneficial to us and what is harmful in the institution of our mode of life, in the division of the day, in for how long and with whom we enjoy social intercourse, in profession and leisure, commanding and obeying, feeling for art and nature, eating, sleeping and reflecting; being unknowledgeable in the smallest and most everyday things and failing to keep an eye on them – this it is that transforms the earth for so many into a ‘vale of tears’. Let it not be said that, here as everywhere, it is a question of human lack of understanding: on the contrary – there exists enough, and more than enough, understanding, only it is employed in the wrong direction and artificially diverted away from these smallest and closest things. Priests and teachers, and the sublime lust for power of idealists of every description, the cruder and the more refined, hammer even into children that what matters is something quite different: the salvation of the soul, the service of the state, the advancement of science, or the accumulation of reputation and possessions, all as the means of doing service to mankind as a whole; while the requirements of the individual, his great and small needs within the twenty-four hours of the day, are to be regarded as something contemptible or a matter of indifference. – Already in ancient Greece Socrates was defending himself with all his might against this arrogant neglect of the human for the benefit of the human race, and loved to indicate the true compass and content of all reflection and concern with an expression of Homer’s: it comprises, he said, nothing other than 'that which I encounter of good and ill in my own house’.
