More Fathers who rape

Here I present to my readers another of the confessions from the church records in the book 'A Masterkey to Popery', written by Fr. Anthony Gavins. 

This confession was proposed to the academy, by father Gasca, a Jesuit, and member of the academy. before I proceed with the content of the confession, let me explain to the uninitiated, the 'academy' mentioned here.

The name is moral academy. It consisted of 20 ecclesiastical members and one president. Its aim was to create a forum, where the fathers could discuss the intricacies of the confessions during their experiences.

Here is how the confession has been presented.

The confession is of a woman of thirty-three years of age,

MOST reverend and learned fathers, I have thought fit not to trouble you with the methodical way of a private confession, I heard last Sunday, but to give you only an account of the difficult cafe in it. The case is this :

A woman of thirty-three years of age came to confess, and told me, that from sixteen years of age, till twenty four, she had committed all sorts of lewdness, only with ecclesiastical persons, having in every convent a Fryar, who, under the name of a cousin, did use to visit her : 

Yes. That is right. ecclesiastical persons. 

ec·cle·si·as·ti·cal (-ti kəl)

adjective

1. of the church, the organization of the church, or the clergy

Clergy - The body of people ordained for religious service.

So, this woman was performing 'all kinds of lewdness' with persons ordained for religious service, in churches commonly called fathers or brothers.

lewdness -

adj. lewd·er, lewd·est

1.a. Preoccupied with sex and sexual desire; lustful.

b. Obscene; indecent.

2. Obsolete Wicked.

So, she performed 'all kinds of sexual, lustful, obscene and indecent behavioiur' with persons of the church, who are supposed to perform religious duties.

And this lewdness is not limited to one church. She had such obliging fathers in all the churches in her vicinity. There are no exceptions. She could find such obliging fathers in all the convents to perform lewdness. In the post fathers who rape, we read about confessions of a father telling us that the entire clergy used to rape and blackmail women of their parish and here we have a confession which talks about lewdness in every church. If I stretch my imagination a little bit, it presents a very lewd picture of churches.

If this lady was so generous with her resources, she might have got something in return from the ecclesiastical persons for this lewd partnership. Let us read further, the confession tells us-

And notwithstanding the multiplicity of cousins, she did live so poorly, that she was forced to turn procuress at the same time for new cousins and that she had followed that wicked life till thirty-two years of age : 

Here the word procuress is something which is not used frequently nowadays. Here is what the dictionaries tell us about this word:

Noun

1.

procuress - a woman pimp

procuress - a woman who obtains women for the purpose of prostitution

So, the fathers, not only used her lewdly but also forced her to penury of such a level that she supplied more women to these ecclesiastical persons.

But if you think, that is enough of freakishness, you have got one more thing coming.

That last year she dreamed that the devil was very free with her, and these dreams or visions continued for a long while, she found herself with a child, and she protests that she knew no man for fourteen months before: She is delivered of a boy, and she says that he is the devil's son, and that her conscience is so troubled about it, that if I do not find some way to quiet her mind, she will lay violent hands upon herself. I asked her leave to consult the case, with a promise to resolve it next sunday, Now I ask your wise advice upon this case. 

The assembly decided to look into the matter and one of the fathers was appointed for the purpose.

Which being approved of by the whole assembly, he did it the next morning, and in the afternoon, being an extraordinary meeting, he came and said, Most reverend and learned fathers, the woman was so strongly possessed with such a vision that she has made public the case among the neighbors, and it is spread abroad; upon which the inquisitors did send for the woman and the maid, and this has discovered the whole story, viz, that father Conchillos, a Victorian friar was in love with the woman, but she could not endure the sight of him: That he gained the maid and by that means he got into her house every night, and the maid putting some Opium into her mistress's supper, he fell fast asleep, and the said father did lie with her six nights together. So the child is not the son of the devil, but of father Conchillos. 

Can you believe it? The father bribed (or blackmailed) the maid to  knock her employer unconscious so that this father could rape her, every night, impregnate her. That is the level up to which the fathers can fall to.He wanted to have sex with a woman who did not even like to look at her.

Perhaps it is the celibacy which turns them into sex crazy maniacs and double faced monsters. For the public they have to act like figures of mercy and behave in the most appropriate manner and inwards the natural drive makes them such perfect hypocrites that they are the proverbial wolves in sheep's clothing.
