UNCHECKED PRIVILEGE RUNNING AMOK

When you read that title what came to mind?

Was it -- Billionaire owner of  several professional teams visits young Chinese  sex slaves for 70 dollars per hour at Florida  strip mall.
Or was it -- Returning actor in prominent TV Series where he plays an African American homosexual hires two Nigerian  brothers who pretend to beat him and call him a homosexual  and pretend to be  Trump supporters. 

And these two instances  are caught on tape.  Did a signal go off somewhere? Go out and take advantage of your prominence and wealth and celebrity  and damn the consequences.

Or how about this ? 
Even closer to home--
Major benefactor at Ivy League University holds secret and  exclusive dinners for the richest students in local restaurant. These dinners are facilitated by the University and result in the richest students also getting assigned the best  rooms which are supposedly distributed through a lottery.

Or Roman Catholic Priest forces sexual acts on  penitent who is underage in the confessional.

Or priest rapes and impregnates a nun and forces her to have an abortion.

HOW LOW CAN WE GO?

Don't even ask that question because some take it as double dare to go and do worse things

All of these  and so many acts that you can probably add as you read this short list  are evidence of a tidal wave of unchecked privilege that seems to be sweeping like a tsunami of filth across the world.

What do they all have in common?
They are all flagrant examples of  UNCHECKED PRIVILEGE

Privilege can arise  in many guises.--

The Privilege of Wealth
The Privilege of Race
The Privilege of Class
The Privilege of  Gender.
The Privilege of Nationality
The Privilege of Youth
The Privilege of Clerics 
The Privilege of High Office or Rank


Pope Francis tried to  address the problem  at the close of a Summit on  abuse he called at the VATICAN:
"In people's justified anger, the church sees the reflection of the wrath of God, betrayed and insulted by these deceitful consecrated persons."

THE WRATH OF GOD 
Do you believe in that or are you snickering?  I do believe in God and in his WRATH

He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword
His truth is marching on
