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.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxQfDKeCXJ
It was written to open eyes.
Too often, stories of abuse within sacred spaces are buried beneath guilt, shame, or institutional power.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufztVBjvzD
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.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjk7P8o4wY2
You let their voices reach you.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIGpUHX9Z8
And maybe, just maybe, someone out there feels a little less alone.
This isn’t a story about losing faith.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2A9mcjy1M
It’s a story about faith fighting back—11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GnBJuXKpr
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:11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDadaS1Mb1
You are seen.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG68lEOJkRG
You are believed.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAwbBZJj2K
You are not alone.
And if you are someone within the system who dares to break it from the inside—11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPR01KngW8
Then like Father Ely...11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfIJIxTqNz
May your gospel be dangerous.
