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.
