“Of Friars who are Confessors: And unhappy women will, of their own free will, reveal to men all their sins and shameful and most secret deeds.”
Leonardo da Vinci’s visions of the grim future of churches continued with detailing their darkest acts. It seems he foresaw the exposure of such criminal behaviors that are the opposite of God’s Law, stepping far away from God’s commandments.
“Of Friars who are Confessors: And unhappy women will, of their own free will, reveal to men all their sins and shameful and most secret deeds.”
In recent years, there has been worldwide disclosure of sexual abuse within the church. First, it came to light that children had been molested. Now, we find that nuns have been sexually abused for decades behind the doors of catholic institutions.
“Media Report by PBS NewsHour - Jun. 12, 2019 - Narration: They’re known as brides of Christ, revered for their quiet service, not for speaking out. But that’s beginning to change.
Doris Wagner: Well, I joined the convent in 2003, and I was raped in 2008.
Narration: When she told her superiors, she says the priest went unpunished, allowing him to rape her again and again.
Reporter: But this whole time the perpetrator was still living in the same...(Yeah.) So you had to actually see your rapist ...
Doris Wagner: Everyday. (Every day.) He was preaching at the chapel. He was giving me holy communion. He was sitting at breakfast, at lunch, at dinner at the same table. I was ironing his shirts.”
“Media Report by CNN - Feb. 20, 2019 - Clergy abuse survivor: He’s a priest, he’s a Father, he’s near God. He’s like God. The Christ is living in him. He cannot do something like this. I think the worst was to talk. It broke me. It broke my body in fact. I prefer to have been shot by a gun, or if I have just a leg handicap, it’s okay, I can live my life. But here, it’s a murder inside of your heart and of your soul, because it’s about faith also. So, it’s like something is dead in me.”
These young women were targeted as easy prey because they were ready to serve God, and accepted everything they were asked to do. The predator priests used the Name of Jesus and God to manipulate them.
“Media Report by CNN - Feb. 20, 2019 – Narration: Liene was a novice when she was abused. Liene says the abuse went on for fifteen years. In the letters she shows us, father Marie-Olivier suggests ‘discretion,’ adding that his ‘crazy love’ for her comes from Jesus.”
“‘REVEALED: Women Sex Slaves of the Catholic Church’ Documentary by REALWOMEN/REALSTORIES - Oct 2, 2022: The first touching started one night when everyone was out and I was sick. He closed the shutters of the parlour. He told me, ‘You don’t need prayers. You need to be touched like that. That will lead you to God.’ Then there was more and more touching, and it was hell. The priest would do all that touching just before absolution. When a priest hears confession at the moment of absolution he acts ‘in persona Christi,’ in the person of God. I always thought, when he was touching me, “He has taken an oath in the name of God. So I can’t question it if it is God doing this for me.” Besides, it happened in a chapel, so it couldn’t be questioned.”
Such abuse is so widespread that it seems to be systemic to the catholic church as an institution. Worse yet, it is still going on behind closed doors.
“Media Report by PBS NewsHour -Jun. 12, 2019: In India, a bishop currently faces charges for repeatedly raping a former mother superior. And a recent investigation by the Associated Press found cases of abuse across four continents.”
“‘REVEALED: Women Sex Slaves of the Catholic Church’ Documentary by REALWOMEN/REALSTORIES - Oct 2, 2022: [...] this doesn’t concern just one country or continent. In fact, the examples which follow are the fruit of six years of experience spent in 23 countries spread throughout five continents.”
“Media Report by CNN - Feb. 20, 2019 - Laurance Poujade: We are talking about victims who don’t speak out. But what about those who went straight to psychiatric hospitals? What about those who mutilated themselves? I know one case; her parents called me to tell me that she had cut out her own tongue.”
Moreover, when the church or convent leadership discovered that a nun was impregnated by a priest, they were mostly asked to have an abortion, which the church condemns as a grave sin. They were also expelled from the congregation, while the predator priest or bishop has been able to stay.
“Media Report by PBS NewsHour -Jun. 12, 2019 - Lucetta Scaraffia: That often leads to pregnancy, and the priests or bishops force them to have abortions. And these poor women now have to live with the anguish of having committed a mortal sin. We have many testimonies from nuns who had more than one abortion in this way.
“‘REVEALED: Women Sex Slaves of the Catholic Church’ Documentary by REALWOMEN/REALSTORIES - Oct 2, 2022 - Sister MP Ross: I spoke to women who’d had an abortion under duress from the priest they’d had sex with. Many women.
Constance: I don’t know how many women were raped. But I know that 32 had abortions, in a place where there were only 50 or so nuns.
Sister Rita: When a nun falls pregnant, she has to leave the convent. There’s no assistance, she’s just sent away. The congregation doesn’t know where the poor thing has ended up. Nobody cares. It’s shameful. She’s treated like the lepers in the Old Testament. None of her fellow Sisters will talk to her anymore.
Sister ML: They say, ‘I’m totally destroyed, from head to foot.’ They feel a terrible guilt. First there’s the transgression, then the abuse... and the knowledge that life has been destroyed within them.”
“Of Kids: The time of Herod will come again, for the little innocent children will be taken from their nurses, and will die of terrible wounds inflicted by cruel men.”
Leonardo da Vinci (vegetarian) seems to have foretold the horror of pedophile priests abusing children who have innocently come to serve in the church, along with the abomination of abortion being forced upon the purest life, that of the unborn child. That is not to even mention those who rape and kill children outside in society. Our modern days are truly a tragic time for the younger generation born and starting to bloom on this Earth.
“Media Report by Euronews - Feb. 2, 2023 - Narration: Ireland, once regarded as the most catholic country in the world. That though is no longer the case.
Reporter: By all accounts the Catholic church in this country is in serious trouble. The feeling here is, that unless the Vatican modernizes or changes the rules very quickly, the church in this country will effectively cease to be in the years and decades to come.
Narration: On the 13th of February the final report of the independent commission for the study of sexual abuse in the Portuguese Catholic church will be released. In October the commission had already validated 424 testimonies but most had already expired in legal terms.
Carla Ferreira: It’s a significant number, but we have to be aware that this number is just a drop in this area.”
“Media Report by Alaska public Media - Oct. 5, 2019: This priest preyed on women and girls as young as 6. Catholic authorities never reported him. Instead, they let him retire at Gonzaga University, among students. Since ’86, at least 20 Jesuit priests were sent to live there after being accused of sexual misconduct.
Researcher: ...there were Jesuit priests who had been accused of sexual abuse, assaults, and/or misconduct in more than a hundred Native communities in both Alaska and the Pacific Northwest.
Abuse survivor: It is very widespread and if you think about it, there are villages that have generations of people that have been sexually abused by clergy. And we know for a fact that in some villages there were perpetrator priests that were in the same village over three decades.”
“Excerpt from ‘Well, this is terrifying.’ Documentary by Video Advice - Nov. 19, 2022: In 2015, a group of researchers found evidence that the Vatican had hidden away dozens of controversial documents detailing sexual abuse by Catholic priests. The researchers claimed that the Vatican was more concerned with protecting its reputation than safeguarding the abuse victims.”
“I mean, just one religion, the Catholic Church right now. Not the Catholic religion – it is the pope and the Jesuits. That kind of organization that is even killing babies for sacrifice and for Satan. So therefore, they don’t care if their priests, or any priest in the Catholic system rapes babies.”
Courtesy of freedomcentral.info, Interviewed in Zwolle, the Netherlands - May 7, 2013 - Toos Nijenhuis: When I was four years old… I’m the oldest one from the whole family. And it’s a Church ritual, from what is in the Bible: the first born should be offered to God. And that’s what they did to me when I was 4 years old. They brought me to the South of Germany. And there were different bishops from that part of the country. (What were they doing?) They all raped me. Not one of them didn’t do anything. They did it all. (Did they all torture you as well?) Yes. You are nothing for them. Only a toy, and they liked to see you suffer. The more the better.
(What happened to the children? Were they ever caught and killed?) They were killed and… the children who are killed sometimes, what they do [is] the same with when they hunt rabbits, or animals – they eat them. They do the same with…
(Did you say you see them kill the children and eat them? You actually see it?) I had to. Or they give it to the dogs, or both.”
“They don’t care. (Yes. Oh, God.) Because that’s the way they’re doing it. That’s the way they believe. They believe in Satan instead of God Almighty. (Yes, Master.)”
“Media Report from Rome Reports – Jan. 28, 2017 - Reporter: In his homily at the Casa Santa Marta, Pope Francis explained what paralyzes Christians with a very graphic example.
Francis: Not taking risks, please, no… prudence…’ ‘Obeying all the commandments, all of them…’ Yes, it’s true, but this paralyzes you too…”
“Media Report from gloria.tv – May 8, 2015 - Fr. Linus Clovis: The Francis effect is to disarm us. What he’s doing is a threat to our faith, and it’s a threat to the Church, and it’s a danger for the salvation of souls.”
“Media Report from Huffington Post - July 13, 2014 - Reporter: In his sermon, he said, ‘The Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us, with the Blood of Christ: all of us, not just Catholics. Everyone!.... Even the atheists. Everyone!’”
“Interview by the National Catholic Register Mar. 26, 2018 - London, United Kingdom Mr. Sire: As one of the more disastrous pontificates in history, he has shown extraordinary ignorance on some points of Catholic doctrine and said some things which are completely out of line. There have been popes who have been complete mistakes. What distinguishes Pope Francis is that he’s not just personally a mistake, but that he is trying to lead the Church in a direction which rejects tradition. None of the bad popes that I was alluding to in the past tried to do that. So, you have these two elements of danger from Pope Francis. I very soon realized the gap that there was between the media image of Pope Francis and the reality as it was known to people in the Vatican. [...]”
“Taylor Marshall Show Podcast - Sept. 28, 2021 - Dr. Taylor Marshall: It’s almost like Francis does exactly the opposite of what you would expect the Vicar of Christ to do.”
“The John-Henry Westen Show - Feb. 5, 2020: [...] With Pope Bergoglio — as with all modernists — it is impossible to seek clarity, since the distinctive mark of the modernist heresy is dissimulation. Masters of error and experts in the art of deception, [they strive to make what is ambiguous universally accepted, presenting it from its harmless side which will serve as a passport to introduce the toxic side that was initially kept hidden.] And so the lie, obstinately and obsessively repeated, ends up becoming ‘true’ and accepted by the majority…”
