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.8Please respect copyright.PENANANxpN9LyFgP
It was written to open eyes.
Too often, stories of abuse within sacred spaces are buried beneath guilt, shame, or institutional power.8Please respect copyright.PENANAy3dHTsiMey
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.8Please respect copyright.PENANAPA0cglrevi
You let their voices reach you.8Please respect copyright.PENANAhLmxtgyFUd
And maybe, just maybe, someone out there feels a little less alone.
This isn’t a story about losing faith.8Please respect copyright.PENANAisT1jCClKH
It’s a story about faith fighting back—8Please respect copyright.PENANA72BFASe05Q
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:8Please respect copyright.PENANAsinj78mObK
You are seen.8Please respect copyright.PENANAhSfHwx786F
You are believed.8Please respect copyright.PENANA9IN9WOAPRr
You are not alone.
And if you are someone within the system who dares to break it from the inside—8Please respect copyright.PENANAAOgde2Ymgt
Then like Father Ely...8Please respect copyright.PENANARWDH2UMhAl
May your gospel be dangerous.
