THANK YOU to everyone who's listening to Sacrificed, including to the latest episode, "The Test."

This is how we CHANGE things.

PROTECT people.

@Emanuel_K_2 @IvanDOesnot I have personal experiences w/them. They are sweet, kind, & have very good intentions. They are doing some very good work drawing attention to sexualized grooming in spiritual direction. BUT they are very uninformed about other forms of clergy abuse, & common trauma issues.

[Chris O'Leary | Catholic Survivor @IvanDOesnot]

Yep. It's a thing.

It's the Blues Brothers, "We're on a mission from God," line but DARK.

(Ala Scientology.)

[Benedictine Sparrow @LMnewest2323]

@IvanDOesnot I am so sorry! 😡This is so common. I am currently being blackmailed by my diocese & the police w/a document containing false statements claiming I admitted to all kinds if perversions, crimes, & wanting to kidnap, violently sexually torture & kill priests. Stay silent or else.

[Chris O'Leary | Catholic Survivor @IvanDOesnot]

My core point is that even the MOST ENLIGHTENED Catholic has been PROGRAMMED to disbelieve survivors.

I don't think it's POSSIBLE to (still) be Catholic and be fully survivor supporting.

It's a cult.

[Chris O'Leary | Catholic Survivor @IvanDOesnot]

I've had problematic interactions with one of these sisters in the past. But maybe she's learned something; thus her ministry?

The problem is that, even if she has, her doing this work remains problematic.

There's too much opportunity for (more) abuse.

They take an oath to obey their Bishop, so...

[Michele Madigan Somerville @NYpoet]

They’re still emissaries of the clerical hierarchy. They talk good game, but no. No.

BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDENNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!

[Nikki Haley @NikkiHaley]

Washington is borrowing $60,000 a second and paying $24 BILLION a week in interest alone. Our national debt is spiraling while the House is on summer vacation and the Senate can’t wait to take their own.

2/ FWIW... I thought @markwingdallas raised legit journalistic questions, in a measured way, about the lack of author names on the investigative report.

In my prior life I've seen how even appellate court opinions can often get loosey-goosey when no one has to put their name on.

[Christa Brown @ChristaBrown777]

3/ I'm also grateful for the work of @netgrace_org.

[Christa Brown @ChristaBrown777]

This is unquestionably true: @baptist_news has been at the forefront of reporting on clergy sexual abuse, particularly among Baptists & evangelicals. For over 2 decades.

BNG was first on many stories & the only reporting on some stories. I'm grateful. 1/4

[Tom Nichols @RadioFreeTom]

Totally not something a cult leader would say

[Jennifer Erin Valent 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @JenniferEValent]

The implication here is that a corrupt, power-hungry, scapegoating, lying, abusing, bigoted, lawless regime has God’s favor. It’s a grotesque bastardization of the power and privilege of humble prayers lifted on behalf of righteousness. God will not be mocked.

[Chris O'Leary | Catholic Survivor @IvanDOesnot]

Catholic Church did the same thing to me.

In my case, they falsely accused me of making a Terroristic Threat.

[Rafael Viola @RafaelViola17]

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

It's the perfect portrait of a sociopath.

[Christa Brown @ChristaBrown777]

"For decades, countless Southern Baptist pastors & leaders have acted with impunity in enabling & covering up abuse. And so long as there are no consequences for the enablers & cover-uppers, you can be sure the abuse perpetrators will persist." ⬇️

[Donald Trump Portfolio Tracker @TrumpsPortfolio]

Michele Fiore raised $70,000 to build a statue for a Las Vegas cop killed in the line of duty. She spent it on cosmetic surgery, her rent, and her daughter’s wedding. A jury convicted her in two hours. Trump pardoned her before she was ever sentenced.

JUST IN — Victims Ignored: Rupnik’s Trial Is Yet Another Scandal, via @RicCascioli for @DailyCompassBQ

Lawyer Sgrò denounces the absence of even the most fundamental information required for a fair trial. The victims have not been heard and are even being denied the right to know the names of the judges. 'How can justice be guaranteed in a trial conducted in total secrecy?' Yet the facts have already been established.

And, yes, Sinéad was a Magdalene girl. Rest well, you star! ⭐️

[AA Gribben 🌎⚖️ @TonyGribben3]

Three years on, remembering Sinéad. Taken too early. Alerting the world to the sexual abuse of children didn’t go down well with the Catholic Church and its networks of child abuse enablers. How they hated you. But how you inspired and empowered so many to continue the fight!

[Chris O'Leary | Catholic Survivor @IvanDOesnot]

He's both a pioneer and a sociopath.

[ProPublica @propublica]

“I’ve put a couple kids in the hospital,” Mark McAfee said. “But here’s the thing: I’m a pioneer.”

Regulators have linked McAfee’s raw-dairy farm to more than a dozen recalls and outbreaks that left hundreds of people ill.
