El verano de 2018 varias investigaciones en el planeta mostraron la lacerante realidad de la extensión de la pederastia en el clero católico que, en su mayor parte, tuvo lugar muchas décadas atrás. Otras investigaciones concomitantes muestran que, en sectores intelectuales minoritarios pero relevantes, la lectura social de la consideración del niño como sujeto de derechos era muy diferente a la de nuestros tiempos. Entre los años 60 y 70 del siglo pasado hasta nuestros días, se ha vivido un choque entre dos paradigmas: uno menguante, el del padre, y otro creciente, el del niño. Hemos transitado del padre rey al niño rey. Este cambio, también se da en el modelo patriarcal católico, aunque no sea suficiente, en absoluto, para explicar la pederastia clerical.
In the summer of 2018 several research initiatives worldwide revealed the lacerating reality of the profusion of child abuse committed by the Catholic clergy, in most cases, decades before. Other contemporary research has shown that, among some reduced —but relevant— intellectual circles, the social interpretation of the child as a subject of rights is now very different from what it used to be. From the 1960s and 70s up to our days, there has been a clash between two different paradigms: One has been waning, which is the one focusing on the father; while the other has waxed, which is the one focused on the child. We have moved from the father as key figure to the child as key figure. This shift has also taken place in the patriarchal model of Catholicism, although, of course, it is not enough to explain the increasing cases of child abuse among the clergy
