The Pact

The Pact: Blog 9

I found this story interesting at parts and I can see how people who have an interest in death enjoy reading it.I pictured the sky to be grey each day with lingering clouds that would not seem to want to move.I was lucky that I had a fortunate childhood in which no caregiver took advantage of me.What Emily went through scarred her before she took her life.It made me think of the Catholic priests and how mighty the act and how righteous too.Yet people still go to church and give money as if nothing ever happened.An isolated incident is bad enough but the scandal involved hundreds of priests.Cardinal Law is retired and donations feet his fat belly while he should be in jail like Geoghan.When I think about what they did and got away with it makes me sick, sick, sick.

I remember a priest at St. Raphael’s in Kittery Maine standing before the church telling everyone how children should not be left an inheritance.I don’t anticipate much but I felt like asking him why he didn’t talk about more relevant issues like his pedophile colleagues.

That man in the Pact took something from Emily which she could never recover.Her art work later in the story depicted doom of sorts.I thought of the boy who committed suicide because he was raped by a priest and I can better understand what Emily went through.
