I’ve heard so many stories of my parents who grew up with the iron fists of priests and nuns….but this one is uniquely harsh to read and imagine.

Reading this reminds me why there are layers of anger that I have against organized religion…

Gemma—what powerful writing! I feel you need to stop reading my stories so you can save me from further embarrassment.

My deepest condolences on the passing of this beautiful saint—indeed; touching and such a beautiful honor you do to your loving father.

Moved. 🫶🏽
