As a devout Catholic, I cannot remain silent in the face of this latest revelation: over 1,300 Facebook ads have been discovered promoting childlike sex dolls, objects designed to normalize one of the gravest evils imaginable. This is not just a “policy violation.” It is a grotesque assault on innocence, an offense against God, and a symptom of the deep moral sickness consuming our culture.
Meta may remove these ads when caught, but they continue to profit from them. Every ad that slips through is not simply an algorithmic error; it is complicity in desecrating the image of God found in every child.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church is clear: “Offenses against chastity… gravely harm human dignity” (CCC 2354–2356). But this is not merely about chastity. It is about the protection of children, the most vulnerable among us, whom Christ Himself held up as examples of purity: “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them” (Matthew 19:14).
A doll fashioned to look like a child, marketed to satisfy perverse fantasies, invites grave sin and fosters a mindset that sees children as objects to be used, not souls to be cherished. This is not a harmless product. It is a breeding ground for depravity. To those who purchase such objects, Ex-Cop Jim Gamble is right: they should be of immediate interest to law enforcement.
We live in a society that proclaims tolerance while tolerating the intolerable. We outlaw these dolls in name, yet shrug when corporations turn a profit on them. We condemn child abuse publicly, yet allow industries to profit from feeding the very fantasies that endanger children. This is not neutrality—it is hypocrisy.
It echoes the same culture of death that justifies abortion as “choice,” euthanasia as “compassion,” and now the sexualization of children as “just fantasy.” Each step rejects God’s law, erodes human dignity, and hardens hearts to sin.
Catholics and all people of goodwill must rise up with one voice and say: Enough. This evil must be rooted out entirely, not merely managed by corporate public relations. Governments must close every loophole that allows these vile products to enter homes. Platforms like Facebook must stop hiding behind technicalities and implement zero-tolerance systems that actually work.
But more than laws and algorithms, this is a call for conversion. We must renew our culture in Christ—teaching children the sacredness of their bodies, reminding adults of the eternal consequences of sin, and calling sinners to repentance before it is too late.
As Pope St. John Paul II declared: “The future of humanity passes by way of the family.” If we allow the innocence of children—even in effigy—to be commodified, we are sawing off the very branch upon which our society rests.
This investigation should shock us into action. What we tolerate today, we will embrace tomorrow. And if we permit childlike sex dolls to circulate under the guise of “mere products,” then we abandon the very command Christ entrusted to us: to protect “the least of these.”
For the sake of every child, for the sake of our faith, and for the sake of our very humanity, we must reject this evil with holy fury.
