For those of you who don&#8217;t know what Towards Healing is, it&#8217;s a large document that the Catholic Church send to you as their way of making up for all the wrong doings their representatives have committed in the past.<\/p>\n<p>How out of touch and ridiculously na\u00efve the Catholic Church are.<\/p>\n<p>Healing from what they <em>took from me<\/em> and <em>did to me<\/em> will never happen. They took the one thing I had left to clutch onto in this world. My faith in God. What they did to me will come.<\/p>\n<p>I was eleven years old when I walked into a Catholic Church, I was already being raped, sodomized and tortured at home by <a href=\"https:\/\/theodeas.com\/Dee\/my-mother-the-psychopath\/\">my Mother<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/theodeas.com\/Dee\/meet-the-pedophile-say-hello-to-my-daddy\/\">my Father<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/theodeas.com\/Dee\/incest-me-and-my-shadow\/\">an uncle and an older cousin.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>After years of praying to God to please come and save me, I plucked up the courage to walk into the Catholic Church and speak to God himself. (I was not allowed to go anywhere, have friends or speak to others&#8230;so it took a lot of courage.)<\/p>\n<p>So I entered the Church and I met a Catholic priest that day &#8211; and to this very day, I know I met Satan himself. The priest I met that day must have thought it was a good day for him indeed&#8230;and that it didn&#8217;t get better than this&#8230;a Methodist walking into a Catholic Church begging for help.<\/p>\n<p>This priest had his own private confession system set up for me. I spent every Friday afternoon for a year going back to his Church, and leaving after being raped, sodomized and tortured with Crosses and Rosary Beads.<\/p>\n<p>The worst weapon of all that he had over me was fear. He told me that he could see me wherever I was and that if I didn&#8217;t come back each Friday, that he would set the Devil on me, who was much worse than my family or him! I needed to be exorcised of what my family was doing to me. The only way for him to do that, was to do exactly the same thing to me.<\/p>\n<p>The Catholic Church took the only one hope I had left to me in my life. My faith in God. I still believed in God that first day I walked into that Church.<\/p>\n<p><em>What price would it be for the Catholic Churches robbing of an eleven year old girl of her faith?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>What price would it be for a Priest to lose his faith? <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>What price would it be for a Bishop to lose his faith? <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>What price would it be for a Pope to lose his faith?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Do any of these men have the right to judge me, and to think that their faith, is more important than mine ?<\/p>\n<p>I was an eleven year old girl who grew up in the most deplorable circumstances imaginable and when I turned to the Catholic Church for help I became a Sex Slave.
