How Michael Jackson helps to understand the Church …

The explanation is offered by a documentary on Michael Jackson – Leaving Neverland (Neverland being the name of the property of the singer) broadcast by HBO – which is currently causing a stir across the Atlantic. According to this documentary, there is no doubt that Michael Jackson abused little boys, the singer was a sexual predator of the worst kind. This is not completely surprising since Michael Jackson had already been put on trial over these charges of rape of a minor, charges from which he had been acquitted, and precisely this documentary shows the way in which Jackson manipulated the victim and witnesses to pass for innocent of this crime.

In the case of Jackson, as in that of the Church, these crimes took place in full view, the more things were known, the more things were known, the more paradoxically they seemed hidden. In both cases, religion protected these institutions. In the case of the Church, it goes without saying, in Jackson’s case, fame was a way of attracting victims and then denying the obvious.

Neverland, the singer’s highly publicized residence, was thus a prison for these children whom Jackson abused. American magazine The Atlantic thus describes the relationship to the singer as if it were the relationship to a divinity, the families being almost ready to do anything to offer these modern gods, the superstars, what they asked for, including when what they asked for was so obnoxious.

Thousands of priests were able to abuse children without being worried, Michael Jackson was able to do the same practically under the lenses of the cameras, because his fans on the one hand, and the celebrity system on the other hand refused the evidence. Even today, there is a hashtag to declare Jackson innocent, regardless of the evidence.

In either case, belief in a god authorizes sacrifice and condemns sacrilege.
