Better Murdered Than Raped: Martyrs of Chastity

 [CW sexual assault]. 


The more I research "martyrs of chastity," the more sickened I am. Girls as young as 12 are exalted for "defending their purity" by fighting to the point of grisly deaths. Which clearly communicates that anyone who submits to survive is a worthless whore.

Teresa Bracco was 20 when a Nazi soldier dragged her into the woods. Her fight is lauded, & vicious wounds described in gory detail. 
Karolina Kózka was 16 when a Russian soldier ordered her into the woods with her father, who immediately abandoned her. Two village men hid in the bushes watching the soldier's rape attempt, bayonet attacks, & her flight into a swamp to bleed out from a slit carotid artery. 
Benigna Cardoso da Silva was 12 when a teen began pursuing her and demanding sex. She sought help from her priest, who responded "Keep resisting." A week after her 13th birthday he trapped her in an isolated spot. Then he murdered her with a machete when she kept resisting. 
Attempted rapes before slaughter, then successful ones by hierarchy. Medical violation to determine "saint or slut," then exploitation to spiritually abuse potential victims, ie everyone. The more they watch from heaven as hell is perpetrated on earth, the more sickened they are.

Bathsheba & Joseph

       Welcome to this blog & community created to name, fight, & heal sexual assault, abuse, & misconduct in Christian churches, families, and universities.     These are taboo topics even in the era of #MeToo.

We shout our stories of sexual assault & support each other in the ensuing firestorm. This happens especially with clergy perpetrators & the regional & national authorities who feign concern but hide behind unethical law firms & pious platitudes.      Perhaps the deepest cuts are from fellow congregants, ministry partners, and friends. It is terrifying to face the reality t...

Porn Made Him Do It: Alessandro Serenelli

Alessandro Serenelli was the sexual assaulter & murderer of 11 year old St. Maria Goretti in 1902.  He claimed repentance & gained early prison release by leveraging  1)A priest pressuring her into forgiving him from her agonizing deathbed,  2) A pedophilic dream of her purportedly "appearing" to him from heaven to hand him 14 glowing lilies, one for each vicious stab wound. He proved sincerity of his repentance by… Disappearance to a lifetime of diligent service with Mother Teresa? Preceded by a long distance letter of humble sincere apology to her mother, Signora Assunta Carlini Goretti, entirely omitting any spiritually abusive demand for forgiveness? Hell, no. (Expletive supremely & theologically accurate).   Serenelli's sacred & praiseworthy achievements: 1) Ostentatious & demanding doorstep invasion right before Christmas, with devastation made exponential by severe implicit pressure to sit beside him at Midnight Mass. 2) Pope led ...
