Author’s Note
This story is a work of fiction.
But its emotions, its silences, its discomforts—are very, very real.
“Confessions of a Priest” was never written to mock religion, destroy faith, or scandalize for shock value.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cG6pVbBSV
It was written to open eyes.
Too often, stories of abuse within sacred spaces are buried beneath guilt, shame, or institutional power.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMT5kGkoR1L
Too often, survivors are told to pray the pain away, rather than speak it.
Through Ella, Ely, and Clark, I wanted to explore the blurred lines between belief and obedience, silence and complicity, truth and sacrilege.
If you’ve made it this far, thank you.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GH64K3yL0
You let their voices reach you.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vbvvOZUVg
And maybe, just maybe, someone out there feels a little less alone.
This isn’t a story about losing faith.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVhMQqPmw0
It’s a story about faith fighting back—10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2YvYsGrhM
against corruption, against manipulation, against the myth that holiness makes someone incapable of harm.
If you are a survivor, a seeker, or someone still healing:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCcyJzx5zC
You are seen.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvB9xu8F6w
You are believed.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdS4ENFUnI
You are not alone.
And if you are someone within the system who dares to break it from the inside—10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0Jl1JncGL
Then like Father Ely...10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiLhTZS53G
May your gospel be dangerous.
