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.
