Testimonies from the book:
"I recognize myself in the suffering that was inflicted on children in the monastery. I am also such a man who was even beaten in places that I would rather not talk about now that everything that the monks did is becoming public. I told my story to Help and Justice. What they did to me is indescribable. I took medication for years to make all the epileptic seizures and memories disappear. I am slowly waking up from a terrible dream. Was it true or not? ... It is true!"
"Hello Carine, I was a bit upset by the head of the Church, the Pope. About forgiveness and forgiveness. That is why I wrote this, otherwise I cannot get rid of my feelings. So much has been flashing through my head lately. Too much. Images are mixed up. And it gives me a serious headache. I know that I should not worry too much. Because of my health. I am struggling with the Pope's question. I am bothered by the fact that the head of the Church's gang talked about forgiveness for the perpetrators of sexual abuse.
I am bothered by the fact that victims are suddenly being asked to forgive. I am bothered by the fact that the bastard had the nerve to ask this. It makes you furious that people were humiliated as children, subjected to sexual violence. No, they are not getting any pity, forgiveness or forgiveness from us now. Even though most of the perpetrators are elderly. They may now suffer from other ailments, now that they are being blamed. The memory of those perpetrators is not working so well anymore.”
“How suddenly! They did not know anymore, they had lost count! How many children they caused suffering. When I think back to my time now, I realize very well what is going on. The bastards are going to investigate everything in this crime themselves.”
“Nuns who used girls and boys. That's right, them. They were the chief camp guards. For a child, this was a very hard experience.” “It is not an insult to the Faith. But a protest that the Church has deliberately made the years of abuse and sexual violence disappear. We cried a lot as children because the nights and days were a path of suffering. An illness that suffocated you. You suffocated.”
“A cry for help was sent out, a cry for help to the countries. Where children had been abused. No country or state wanted to burn its fingers to condemn the saints. It is precisely now that you notice how the anchoring between State and Church is structured”
