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.19Please respect copyright.PENANA3f1LtuAGVQ
It was written to open eyes.
Too often, stories of abuse within sacred spaces are buried beneath guilt, shame, or institutional power.19Please respect copyright.PENANAMs8oA92qmy
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.19Please respect copyright.PENANAj7sOaSCZKn
You let their voices reach you.19Please respect copyright.PENANAcRcr4oa5m7
And maybe, just maybe, someone out there feels a little less alone.
This isn’t a story about losing faith.19Please respect copyright.PENANAGgtxtU976a
It’s a story about faith fighting back—19Please respect copyright.PENANAv1mRqNOC73
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:19Please respect copyright.PENANAw8ycXLZlhs
You are seen.19Please respect copyright.PENANAWoFT3FuNKV
You are believed.19Please respect copyright.PENANA2xTlFc9YPl
You are not alone.
And if you are someone within the system who dares to break it from the inside—19Please respect copyright.PENANArnDrO0Sfhg
Then like Father Ely...19Please respect copyright.PENANAvXMpIoyV24
May your gospel be dangerous.
