The more time I spend listening to those have been harmed by Catholic leaders, the more I realize the depth of the spiritual wounds this kind of abuse inflicts. The spiritual trauma is often overlooked, but for many victim-survivors, the impacts on their faith, spiritual practices, and relationship with God are devastating.
I am not the one who was abused but it was someone I love like family. After all this abuse it just broke me when it happened to him. I support all victim survivors! I pray for you all everyday even though I have no faith in the church I still have some in God though it is a struggle. I doubt I’ll ever trust the Catholic Church again. All those lying bishops who only care about themselves. I hate them. I am just a broken angry Catholic who is trying not to give up on God! I pray and hope all survivors get judgment. I am getting help from one person. He is my connection to God. Without him I don’t know where I’d be. I believe that all dirty bishops should be kicked out of the church and put in prison! I hate all abusers! The priests that did the abusing should also be in prison no matter how old they are!
