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.9Please respect copyright.PENANAOkcfL7e8d7
It was written to open eyes.
Too often, stories of abuse within sacred spaces are buried beneath guilt, shame, or institutional power.9Please respect copyright.PENANABufwFNmLWH
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.9Please respect copyright.PENANA7Co5K6HcPI
You let their voices reach you.9Please respect copyright.PENANAQIxLkPbDTj
And maybe, just maybe, someone out there feels a little less alone.
This isn’t a story about losing faith.9Please respect copyright.PENANAZX8D8NJXFC
It’s a story about faith fighting back—9Please respect copyright.PENANAMbPLNC0x7L
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:9Please respect copyright.PENANAnciLnlE9rz
You are seen.9Please respect copyright.PENANAVr0e7KYN3l
You are believed.9Please respect copyright.PENANAzYLtW8unOY
You are not alone.
And if you are someone within the system who dares to break it from the inside—9Please respect copyright.PENANAoRov2nVCjf
Then like Father Ely...9Please respect copyright.PENANAkE56GsAlSy
May your gospel be dangerous.
