Pedofilia Santa

Ratos de Porão's song 'Pedofilia Santa' is a raw and unfiltered critique of the Catholic Church, particularly focusing on the scandals of pedophilia and the perceived hypocrisy within the institution. The lyrics are laden with anger and disillusionment, reflecting a deep-seated frustration with the church's moral failings. The opening lines, 'Catequese de ódio dentro de mim / Inquisição de merda vem vindo aí,' set the tone for the song, suggesting that the indoctrination of hate and the return of oppressive practices are imminent. The use of 'Habemus papam senil macacada' mocks the election of a new pope, implying that the leadership is outdated and ineffective.

The phrase 'Pedofilia santa dogmas da utopia' is particularly striking, as it juxtaposes the sacred with the profane, highlighting the contradiction between the church's holy image and the heinous acts committed within its walls. The song continues to lambast the church with lines like 'Sagrada hipocrisia não tem mais fim / Geriatria é fogo no estopim,' pointing out the endless hypocrisy and the role of the elderly clergy in perpetuating these issues. The imagery of a 'Bomba moral na igreja desgraçada' and 'O bento te convida pra orgia na sacristia' further emphasizes the moral decay and corruption that the band perceives within the church.

The chorus, 'Desacreditei / Nunca concordei / Não me emocionei / Desconectei,' encapsulates the band's complete disillusionment and detachment from the church. The final verse, 'A sociologia tenta explicar / Toda antipatia em dose cavalar / Parâmetros sem nexo prometo estudar / Um jovem coroinha pelado no altar!' suggests that even sociological explanations fall short in justifying the church's actions, and the shocking image of a naked altar boy underscores the severity of the abuse. Through 'Pedofilia Santa,' Ratos de Porão delivers a powerful message about the need for accountability and change within religious institutions.
