Pedophile Priest | comment |
Very simply, this is when a priest, preacher or other member of the clergy is depicted as or accused of being a pedophile or child molester — in short, a holy individual with an entirely unholy interest in children. Given the implicit trust associated with the profession, this is typically portrayed as the ultimate betrayal of innocence and a Moral Event Horizon for everyone involved. Due to the cultural impact of the late-twentieth to early 21st-century child molestation scandals in the Catholic Church, Catholic priests are by far the most likely to be involved in a molestation accusation in modern media, although neither Protestant ministers nor the clergy of other religions are by any means immune, and, of course, in real life a pedophile also can be a parent or other relative, a teacher or caregiver, a babysitter, a neighbor, a family friend, or even a random person online, simply because — as with murderers, rapists, or any other type of violent criminal — pedophiles exist in every society. Some studies have argued that Catholic priests are no more likely to be pedophiles than any other person. The main reason why abuse cases in the Catholic Churches drew far more media attention than, for example, cases in schools was because the Catholic Church cases were systematically covered up. This cover-up was exacerbated because, when clergy abuse accusations started to become more common in the mid-to-late 20th Century, it was believed pederasty could be cured with therapy, which is where offending priests were sent (instead of informing the authorities). Depending on the tone of the work and whether it regards the church as inherently good or evil, the initial accusation may be treated as the aberration of a single sick individual, or may lead to the uncovering of a corrupt or actively malevolent church hierarchy. Taken to the extreme, the church is nothing more than a Wretched Hive of child abusers using their religion as a shield. By contrast, in a comedic work, the trope may be Played for Laughs as a stock joke without exploring the Unfortunate Implications. The accused need not even be guilty; the simple accusation of pedophilia/molestation is usually enough to set off a Pædo Hunt, which a villain may take full advantage of as a Red Herring to cover up or distract from their crimes (or to justify a crusade against the priest's entire religion). Another way this trope can be used on a non-villainous character is that he has joined the church not only to get an excuse to remain a bachelor but also as a way to fight against his urges and remain chaste.note It's been speculated that this is also a major reason in real life for the seemingly-disproportionate number of pedophiles in the priesthood, though there are also clear cases of pedophiles becoming priests specifically to be in a position of power that has access to young children. Needless to say, the subject is extremely controversial in Real Life. Therefore, No Real Life Examples, Please! Just let The Other Wiki provide the facts.

In Outlast II, exposure to the Morphogenic Engine slowly causes Blake's Repressed Memories of his dead childhood friend Jessica to bubble to the surface; he's spent his adult life believing that she killed herself due to living in a broken home, and relied on memories of her suicide note and hung body to back it up, but he eventually remembers that he witnessed her be pushed down a flight of stairs and unintentionally killed by their Catholic school's priest, who was sexually abusing her, and he forced Blake to keep quiet about it and go along with her staged suicide. | |

Ultraviolet. In the episode "Mea Culpa", a 12-year-old boy kills a priest and the team is sent to investigate if the killing is vampire-related. The priest in charge of the team, Pearse Harman, gets annoyed when ex-cop Michael Colefield thinks it's child abuse-related, Lampshading the pedophile Catholic priest cliché. Subverted at the end when it turns out the priest was innocent and vampires were involved, yet Harman cynically allows the public to believe the priest was a pedophile to maintain the Masquerade. | |

Father Tom Novak in Rayona's story in A Yellow Raft in Blue Water, who tries to molest her while on a camping trip at Bearpaw Lake State Park. There's some Foreshadowing that this was going to happen given how the Native Americans on the reservation talk about Father Tom and the girls he hangs around with. In Christine's story, he is apparently doing penance for this misdeed by providing Christine with a supply of Percocet pills for her terminal illness. | |

Surprisingly few episodes of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, but enough. Although, when it happens, it's usually of the "Church is lousy with pedophiles" variety. One episode features a priest who murdered a transgender hooker; it is quickly determined that he was molested by a priest. They find two pedophile priests in his church, and another victim molested by a different priest. | |

In South Park: The Fractured but Whole, the protagonist is attacked by two of these while he enters a storage room at the church to meditate. They serve mostly as a tutorial for telegraphed attacks, as they have moves that cause heavy damage (and Grossed Out status) but take a turn to charge and are easy to dodge. Oh, and one of them uses a rosary that doubles as anal beads as a whip. | |

One appears in Season 15 of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. He's portrayed oddly sympathetically, in that he knows that acting on his urges is wrong, and specifically joined the church both to strengthen his will and to understand why God would make him this way. However, it's also implied that he keeps a rather illicit Porn Stash in a box in his room. | |

Spotlight is all about how the Boston Globe went public with the story of how the local Catholic diocese had systematically covered up abuse, to the point of enabling further abuse by priests. Ronald Paquin blithely rationalizes his abuse of children, claiming he didn't get any personal gratification from it. The look on reporter Sacha Pfeiffer's face when he says that has to be seen to be believed. A bit of Artistic License was taken with this scene and the chronology, but Paquin's lines were almost word for word accurate. | |

The Least of These features Father Andre James (Isaiah Washington) being transferred to a small, out-of-the-way boarding school after the disappearance of a former priest. As the movie proceeds, much darker things are revealed in both the cases of the disappeared priest and his own past.*Father Andre is not the Pedophile Priest himself. In fact, he actively discourages even light sexual shenanigans, as we see in one scene where he chooses to dine in the main hall with the boys instead of in the private dining room with the older priests; he also takes the opportunity to confiscate the dirty magazines one of the boys brings to dinner, dumping them right in the trash and calling out one of the boys who was looking at them, without even looking over his shoulder. | |

The Last of Us: David is the spiritual and actual leader of his "flock" who is introduced preaching from a Bible, and while he seems kind and gentle on the surface, he eventually demonstrates himself the biggest monster in the entire show. On top of his other crimes (including secretly feeding his people the flesh of their own loved ones), he holds 14-year-old Ellie captive, propositions her into entering a romantic relationship with him, and after she escapes, tries to violently rape her, while sneering that the struggling is his favorite part. It's strongly implied that Ellie wasn't his first victim, as he shows a particular interest in a teenage girl in his flock named Hannah, and tells Ellie that before the outbreak, he was a math teacher for kids around her age. | |

On Supernatural, Sam and Dean investigate a Demonic Possession report and encounter Crowley disguised as a Catholic priest investigating the same report (to see if it's one of the demons that serve him). When the Muggle who owns the house asks how they know each other, "Father" Crowley says that Dean used to be a "delicious" choir boy. He later implies that paedophilia is actually pretty tame compared to what some actual priests are into. | |

The play Doubt (and the movie adapted from it) centers on the efforts of an old-school nun to remove a progressive priest from the Catholic school she runs, on the grounds that he is (she believes) a pedophile. Although the final scenes imply that she was correct, she is now plagued with doubts about her own less-than-pure motives and methodology. | |

Subverted with Brother Nhumrod from Discworld's Small Gods. Though it's implied that by the strictly literal definition of pedophile he qualifies, after Om accuses him of being a pederast, it's mentioned that while he might occasionally have "disquieting thoughts" in his head, he makes sure they stay in his head rather than him acting on them "and he did not in any literal sense deserve to be called what the tortoise called him, which, had he heard it, he would have thought was something to do with feet". His name, after all, is on one level a reference to impotence... | |

In the Counter Monkey episode "Shadowrun: The Code", Spoony describes a game of Vampire: The Masquerade he ran where he banned the Malkavians, the Chaotic Stupid vampire clan. One player who had wanted to play a Malkavian responded by making a vampire who was effectively thisnote To be specific, the character worked for a Big Brothers-type youth outreach program and only fed on adolescent boys; Spoony told him to get the fuck out of his game, especially when the guy insisted that he really did want to play the character and wasn't just trying to be edgy. | |

Blue Bloods: Referenced in an episode dealing with abuse of designer drugs by students at a Catholic school. After the headmaster stonewalls Danny and Jackie's request to search the school with drug-sniffing dogs, Frank goes to the bishop to get the headmaster overruled. Among Frank's lines in that scene is one that goes something like, "The Catholic Church cannot be seen covering up another scandal." Another episode has Danny trying to locate a priest who he suspects of this. When the parish finally decides to let him talk to the priest, he turns out to be an exorcist instead; the runaround is explained by the church not wanting to publicize the fact that they still do exorcisms. Danny apologizes. While not pedophilia, one episode features a similar scenario where a priest is accused by a woman of raping her. Though she has paranoid delusions and thus lacks credibility, they move him anyway to avoid more scandal along these lines. |

Hellsing Abridged: The show makes jokes about the Catholic Church pedophile scandals, usually in the form of Alucard mockingly accusing members of Iscariot (primarily either Father Anderson or Bishop Maxwell) of pedophilia. When cornered by Anderson, Seras considers trying to seduce him but fears it won't work because she isn't a little boy. The episode 4 preview has Maxwell interrogating a member of the Vatican who has been selling information to Millennium. Maxwell assumes the priest was motivated by promises of immortality, as Millennium's other agents were, but it turns out that in addition to that, he was bribed with little boys to have his way with. The priest does not survive, having his brains blown out by Heinkel soon after the interrogation is over. |

Misfits references this, and actually has one of the characters announce: "When I was growing up in Ireland, if the priests weren't fiddling with you, you were one of the ugly kids." Although said character is notoriously prone to making ridiculous, insensitive, and untrue statements, so it's probably best to take his words with a large grain of salt. | |

The "leader" was actually assembled from the reanimated corpses of Ciel's parents acting as a puppet leader at Angela's behest. While it's unlikely to have had any independent sex drives, this is Angela we're talking about... | |

Nine Dead is about nine people with apparently no connection to each other who are kidnapped, and told that one of them will die every 10 minutes unless they can tell their captor why they are all there. They all come to the conclusion that they all must have directly or indirectly screwed over their captor. One of the kidnapped people is a priest and is questioned over whether or not he molested the captor, which he vehemently denies. The priest is telling the truth and is one of the more sympathetic captives in the film. | |

Not an exact example, but in Primal Fear the archbishop, who everyone in the neighborhood trusts and respects, turns out to have preyed on teenagers whom he had taken in off the streets and forced them to have sex with each other on camera. The question of whether or not this could be considered an example comes from the fact he waits until they are of age for them to perform the acts. However, it's treated the same way even if he's not a pedophile. | |

The Law & Order episode "Bad Faith", where Logan inspected rumors about his old priest after a fellow former parishioner killed himself. It's heavily implied that Logan himself was a victim of that priest; at the very least, according to what he tells Cragen, the priest made an attempt (the phrasing is a bit ambiguous). In the Law & Order: UK episode based on that episode, DS Matt Devlin (Logan's Expy) admits to several incidents that clearly made him uncomfortable—"He was always lurking around, watching me", but appears genuinely unsure if the guy ever touched him. | |

Nip/Tuck features one in a memorable role. Sean and Christian operate to remove a large birthmark from a patient's penis, with his excuse being that it made his fiancee uncomfortable. Later they see a news report, which shows a local Catholic priest (the patient, who'd been using a fake name and accent with the doctors) has been exonerated of molesting multiple boys at the church after an examination from the court showed no birthmark, which had been a key part of the boys' testimony. Horrified, the doctors attempt to report their work to the police, but cannot do so directly because of their own skeletons in the closet, and their anonymous tip falls through. Christian, who was sexually abused as a child, takes the revelation particularly hard and ends up cornering the priest in the confessional with a scalpel and threatening to murder him if he doesn't confess to the police. He does. | |

Frontline has had a few episodes about pedophiles in the clergy, among them the 1994 episode "Judge And Jury", which revolves around a young woman who accuses her parish priest of raping her. Frontline runs the story with a rebuttal from the priest, but edits it in such a way that it makes him look unreliable. The priest ends up killing himself offscreen, and when Frontline interviews the woman again, she quickly destroys her own credibility by claiming to have been abducted by aliens. | |

In the end, after his death, everyone agrees to blame him for Skippy's abuse, rather than the swimming coach who's actually responsible. Double Subverted in that Father Green actually does fantasize about molesting children but never acts on it.

In Scary Movie 3, Cindy Campbell's nephew Cody is heavily implied to being molested by a pedophile priest Cindy hires as a babysitter, as he immediately hides when the priest arrives and the priest says in a creepy tone (once Cindy is out of the house) "Cody...". |

Septon Utt from A Song of Ice and Fire. The fact that he is the only member of the Brave Companions who is even close to sympathetic really says a lot — at least Utt feels guilt over what he does (even if it doesn't stop him) while the rest of the Brave Companions revel in their vileness. | |

The Sisterhood Series by Fern Michaels: Free Fall has the Vigilantes take on a group of pedophiles, and one of them is a deacon, which is not exactly a priest, but pretty darn close. Under the Radar has the Vigilantes take on a polygamist (considered synonymous to "pedophile" in this story) sect in Utah, run by a Prophet named Harold Evanrod. While Harold is probably not supposed to be a priest, he might as well be. | |

Peaky Blinders: Michael Gray (son of the Shelby Brothers' Aunt Polly) was taken from his mother and put in a Catholic boys' home at the age of six. He was later taken in by an apparently loving or at least caring family in the countryside, but while that was pending one of the priests, Father Hughes, raped him. Nearly 20 years later, Father Hughes reappears in various dealings with the Shelby Company, leading to his death at Michael’s hands in a company-approved hit (Tommy Shelby having business reasons to be rid of the creep). | |

Father Ted: Surprisingly, mostly averted in in this series. Still mentioned a few times, though. Father Jack once made a class of teenage girls in Catholic School do P.E. without their tracksuit tops, however. His horrific molester-face whilst this goes on is clearly meant to invoke this trope. He does shout "GIRLS!!", among other things, in his alcoholic fugues... Ted does address the issue at one point, to hilarious effect; "This whole pedophile priests thing is all out of proportion. If there are 200 million priests in the world and 5% are pedophiles......" *cue look of hilarious horror* |

Sleepers: Robert DeNiro's character's Father Bobby is an inversion. He and the church serve as a heaven for the kids of Hell's Kitchen. Initially in the sense as a reprieve and a career alternative to crime, but later on, as a place to get (illegal) help and solace from sexual abuse. Father Bobby is a friend and father figure to the four main characters as boys. When they tell him 16 years later about the sexual abuse they suffered in a juvenile correctional facility, he helps them punish the guards responsible. | |

Subverted in the Fairy Tail omake about the punishment game. Cana has Wendy try on a lot of skimpy and/or furtive clothing (like a wedding dress), and when Wendy worriedly asks why, Cana says that she'll take Wendy to an old priest who likes that sort of "stuff". Wendy understandably becomes terrified, but when they actually meet the priest, there is nothing pedophile about him. The only reason Cana wanted Wendy to wear those clothes was that she wanted Wendy to make a good first impression by wearing fashionable clothing, but since Cana has no idea what fashionable clothing is, she just chose the skimpiest clothes as she always wears a skimpy outfit herself. | |

In Drakengard, party member Leonard is a priest who survived the massacre of his "brothers" when he was off having some alone time in the woods to deal with his urges. This was heavily Bowdlerised for the English release, though Leonard still gulps nervously when the six-year-old Seere hugs him, and the sequel mentions the priest's "certain antisocial tendency." Despite this, Leonard remains one of the most heroic characters in the party... which isn't difficult when he's competing with the likes of Caim or Arioch, but still. | |

Oz Played straight in an early episode when a priest convicted for pedophilia is unable to find anyone who will put him up while on parole, so he has to return to prison. Father Ray Mukada at first doesn't want anything to do with him, but he ends up trying to get his church to help — they refuse for PR reasons. The ex-priest ends up being nailed to the floor by the Aryan Brotherhood. This priest also turned himself in to the police and confessed. Subverted when Ryan O'Reilly tells his Catholic priest cellmate that he was molested by a priest as a child. "There are some bad priests...", the priest starts, but O'Reilly interrupts him and tells him he was just messing with him. |

South Park: The episode "Red Hot Catholic Love" shows local priest Father Maxi as just about the only non-pedophile priest in the entire Catholic Church. (He has been shown makin' it with at least one adult female parishioner though as well as Cartman's mom.) Then again, Father Maxi is in a different place on the corruption spectrum in pretty much every episode in which he appears. In "Hell on Earth 2006," all the Catholic priests are shown leading around naked boys on leashes. No one appears to notice or care even when they are in public. And then there's "A Boy and a Priest", wherein Father Maxi considers leaving the priesthood because of the residents' constant mockery, despite having never done such things. He eventually decides to stay because if he leaves, another actual pedophile priest might take his place, since the church only moves the abusers around, as opposed to removing them entirely. |

Played for laughs with Garterbelt of Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt, although he seems to be more pederast than pedophile. He's awfully fond of Brief and organizes a naked marathon for high schoolers for the sake of getting his jollies on. The Season Finale suggests that he was actually trying to keep an eye on Brief, whose dick happens to be the key to hell.

Family Guy: Peter at one point comments that they're going to keep drinking until they've brought up repressed memories of being molested by a priest. Only Cleveland is shown to have recovered. In a Cutaway Gag, in which Peter says that he will be "as quiet as a church mouse", we see a mouse priest asking a member of his choir to attend a "party" with him at the rectory. Implied in one episode, where Lois is shunned by the church for having done porn in the past. When a priest publicly denounces her over having "made a porn", Lois stops her pleading to correct his grammar, saying it's supposed to be "made porn" or "made a porno". When the priest exclaims "Oh God! Have I been saying it wrong this whole time?", two altar boys nod in affirmation. Implied once more in the episode "Pawtucket Pat", when Peter objects to the statue of Pawtucket Pat being taken down in light of the revelation that he was a racist who killed the Native Americans who actually created Pawtucket Patriot Ale while taking the credit for brewing it. |

He arrives at the said place just in time to save a girl from becoming another victim of the priest who runs it. The Church of Mary Vestal Slut, specifically. Which adds another disturbing layer to the whole shebang, considering the child molesters considered kids "pre-sexual human beings" and wanted to legalize pedophilia. | |

Les Guignols de l'Info: In this French satiric puppet show, Cardinal Sylvestre and just about any Catholic priest shown (except the Pope) are portrayed as this. Comedic variant, of course. There is one skit were the Popemobile is used to isolate the choirboys from a flock of such priests, forcing the Pope and his cardinals to walk beside. There's also a skit where Frank Martin has to escort a bunch of altar boys back home after the Sunday mass in his car, with various lecherous clergymen charging to get them and getting the crap beaten out of them by Frank as a result. The Final Boss happens to be Pope Benedict XVI's brother, and he's treated as The Brute. |

Interview with the Vampire: Lampshaded by Lestat in "...After the Phantoms of Your Former Self" when he says the two priests he had killed won't be missed because people will just assume they molested children. | |

In the furry erotic novel A Fox Tail, it's stated that one of Vulpie's foster guardians when he was twelve was an assistant pastor named Vander Clishaw who had a side business as a drug dealer and liked to drug him up and invite some friends over to gang-bang him. Eventually one of Clishaw's rivals alerted Child Services and got him arrested, and after he got out of prison five years later his corpse was found with fourteen different stab wounds. Vulpie is suspected but it's never confirmed. | |

Cold Case: The Protestant variety shows up on the episode "That Woman". When a high school student confesses to her youth minister (the leader of her chastity club, ironically) that she's having sexual fantasies about him, he encourages her to sit and tell them to him, with her back turned to spare her embarrassment. His tone of voice as he listens to her makes it obvious that he's enjoying himself. The trope was both subverted and exploited in "Glued", when the team was investigating the death of an 8-year-old boy in a Catholic neighborhood and realized that the killer had confessed the murder to a priest. They brought the main suspect and the priest to headquarters and told the suspect that the priest had left the Church in protest of the pedophile cases and was no longer under the vow to keep silent. This made the suspect panic and confess himself. |
