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.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO0rZnTN8y
It was written to open eyes.
Too often, stories of abuse within sacred spaces are buried beneath guilt, shame, or institutional power.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24Rs8Huwju
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.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEom7YC2OqT
You let their voices reach you.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxZMYVTP8b
And maybe, just maybe, someone out there feels a little less alone.
This isn’t a story about losing faith.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡin4z8TCwqj
It’s a story about faith fighting back—22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7HmlnpMxh
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:22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ocP5hIa2V
You are seen.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQqqUVUDkl
You are believed.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeO6CwwANUV
You are not alone.
And if you are someone within the system who dares to break it from the inside—22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueRjlV62Py
Then like Father Ely...22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TC7Etz3Gb
May your gospel be dangerous.
