I am watching The Keepers in Netflix and I am just on episode 2 and I could not continue watching anymore. The evil things that the priest do to the students are just too much.
I know there are a lot of priests, pastors probably even rabbis and imams that are supposed to show or guide us to holiness are doing evil things. But it really I guess never dawned to me that they could do it seemingly without even a shred of regret, shame or conscience.
This is exactly what for me is what they mean when some people say what do you need hell for if evil is around us.
I was raised Catholic with respect to priests well actually anyone working closely with the Church. But about 2.5 years ago, I lost faith in institution due to a priest who we asked for help due to a financial issue I am having. After some "scolding" which I deserve, he offered to give help by providing me a loan. No issues there since he mentioned that since it is quite a huge amount he would also take this as a loan from their cooperative bank for priests which offers much less interest than the regular banks. I agreed, he computed the interest and how much should I pay every month and for how many years. Trusting that he is a man of God. I did not check for myself how much it would actually amount to. All that I felt that time was that I was relieved. It was a weekend when I asked for himself knowing that banks would usually take 3-5 banking days to process anything, I was assuming it would probably get 1 week the earliest to get the money. But following Monday came and he said he will use his personal money first so that I would at least be unburdened with worry. That's when I realized, he would not get a loan from his bank, but will use his personal money and I will be paying him interest. Not really bad I guess anyway if I go to the bank myself I woulf also have to pay for interest. But when I got to computing how much it will be when I finally pay everything off, it is really like getting a loan from a bank!
That' s the start of when I totally lost respect and trust for these men in white robes. Considering this priest is my husband's uncle, that we approached him for help because we don't know want to be further burdened with bank interest. This priest is well off mind you, he has a lot of properties because to be fair, he was working well as an accountant before joining priesthood. I am not questioning his wealth but how can he do this to an -in law. Don't they preach something about not kicking a man when he is already down? Because that is exactly what felt to me, he was kicking me and with that kick he is earning a little for himself.
I know what happened to me is nothing compared to what those poor students experienced, but I just wanted to say that these priests some would argue are still human and can make mistakes. Yes, they can certainly make mistakes but they can definitely be evil too.
