But you can't be saying that Priestly Pedophiles were not pedophiles prior
to the 18th century? Our 21st century sensibilities might have evolved from
what they were 300 years ago, but by our standards today they were still
interfering with children and in hindsight that makes them Priestly
Pedophiles. As I understand it, as sociology evolves it changes the past
and the future. Their actions have not changed, but our definition of their
actions has changed.
Did Foucault refute this statement or did he define it in different terms.
My impression is that it was invented so that it could be repressed. That
being the case it was repressed.

Allen replied to my comment:
The quotation on p.6 is part of FOucault's outline of the repressive
hypothesis, which he later goes on to refute. Sex is not repressed, it
is invented in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Derive something from HOS p.6 and p.99.
'if sex is so rigorously repressed, this is because it is imcompatible
with
a general and intensive work imperative.' p. 6
'We must seek rather the pattern of the modifications which the
relationships of force imply by the very nature of their process.' p. 99
What is it that priests do when they work? What social dynamics are
created? What are the emotional reactions to the social dynamics? What
do
those dynamics lead to?
