Rachel Mastrogiacomo was groomed for predation while studying theology in Rome to serve the Catholic church. Her predator was a deacon at the time, and later was ordained a priest, serving in San Diego. On two occasions, this now-former priest, Jacob Bertrand, held private masses with then-24 year-old Rachel, during which he raped her. He told her that in complying with her rape she was becoming Christ’s special bride.
Rachel suffered devastating life consequences because of the Satanic Ritual Sexual Abuse by Bertrand. After years of silence and shame, Rachel told her diocese of the abuse, but to no avail. Her pleas for help and justice from the Diocese of San Diego, led by Bishop Robert McElroy, were ignored, denied, and deflected. Finally she was forced to go public and take her abuser to court. Bertrand ultimately confessed and was convicted of ritual rape.
What triggers Rachel now and provokes revictimization is the promotion of Bishop McElroy from San Diego to the cardinalate, for he failed to act when she reported Bertrand to the diocese and is failing to protect the vulnerable from Bertrand.

Hi all, Dr. J here. Thanks for all your comments. Those of you who said I interrupted too much, thanks for that feedback. I am trying to be more mindful of that issue as I do more interviews! I hope ya'll will keep coming back and benefiting from our content. Most of our material is "evergreen," meaning that it continues to be relevant, day in and day out, year in and year out. We don't just chase the news cycle over here!
Thankyou so much this interview helped me understand my family and how it's ok to feel peace away from them finding happier joyful frequencies.. wow such Bravery and integrity to stand strong and keep going then goin to thrive ❤
Amazing Grace I feel a song coming on...
To witness such strength and endurance
She is a miracle she really is ❤
Thankyou
❤
Interviewee/survivor is interrupted by interviewer alittle too much. Just a heads up, let the speaker, speak her truth. This is a serious topic in which the survivor builds up such immense strength to speak about the abuse, to be heard; try not to interrupt so often :) God Bless.
I agree~ the doctor got better near the end but it was a tad frustrating when she interrupted in the beginning. I really appreciate this interview, nonetheless ~ Thank you to this channel ❤
I agree- let her speak
Catholicism is always controlling and disruptive because it is not of Yeshua. The entire hierarchical system is a framework of abuse and control.
I am actually infuriated about how insensitive and disrespectful this interviewer was. I only watched til the end out of sheer respect for the this courageous woman she was interviewing.
I was in shock and disappointed for the interviewer behaved in such an inappropriate manners including frequent interruption and unnecessary redirection at times during the interview.
Jeez, the interviewer won't stop interrupting, cutting off her testimony
Sounds like he's got the traits of a narcissistic psychopath.
I was in a 13 year relationship with a narcissist and was unaware of the manipulation and gaslighting at the time. After separation I learnt a lot about their tactics and their mindset, and started learning about NPD. Having experienced the psychological and sexual abuse it makes it so hard now to be able to trust anyone.
I developed cancer during the relationship which I think was due to the extreme stress I suffered during the relationship.
Shortly after separating I discovered the cancer had come back and was stage 4 (considered terminal).
Despite having the dire cancer diagnosis I am still far happier now than during the time I was with my narc partner. My long term aim is to outlive my ex!
Praying for your body, mind and soul, dear Ann. I didn't make it 13 years, but the damage was done. 🙏🏼 I pray Jesus heals all wounds.
Yea...satanists are not going to be psychologically sound people. Stands to reason.
Hey love, please look into holistic healing, IV HIGH DOSE VIT C, prolonged fasting has shown to reverse cancer, there is gerson therapy 80%+ shown to reverse cancer with there protocol. Black seed oil is also great. Rebounding exercise to detox the lymphatic system, iodine also helps with celular apoptosis of cancer cells, I hope i could make a difference and help you reverse this.
Also look up dr.berg interview with cancer survivor. Goodluck much love
@@HarimBallerdr eric berg legend
I’m still in danger after many decades. Please pray for me.I have been threatened with murder repeatedly and got amnesia for decades I can’t control. I’m very beat up and blacklisted as far as getting medical help. Severe migraines and neck- head injury.
I prayed for you.
I will pray for you consistently. I am a victim of SA assault. You are not alone. God loves you amidst the confusion. Thank you for being here and sharing. You can make it through this ❤ Just prayed for you- much love @kat8838
You're not the only one Kat.We were never getting out of the programs🦋.They'll all be in here with us soon.
All who call on the name of JESUS shall be saved!!
Thank you so much Rachel for your testimony. May the Lord help you to fully heal from this trauma. Seeing her smile, laugh then cry and horrified at different times could show that she still needs more counseling. Especially being part of a spiritual black mass grooming may have long term impacts on her life. Those devils would not easily want to leave her alone knowing that she is quite trusting.
I definitely thank God for sending her husband. He clearly saw, understood seeing and believed what she went through. There is definitely no coincidence with our God. Meeting him was the beginning of our delivrance. Jesus Christ usesus all to help our neighbour. This time, it was her good husband!!🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you, Dr. Ruth. And thank you for your courage to speak out and share your story, Rachel.
This crushed me. I've been watching a lot of testimonies about SRA. People warn me not to, but I feel the need to research and know these people's testimonies. I feel for Rachel. She didn't deserve this. She's good inside and out. Sickos love to prey on people like that. When she asked Jesus to give her cancer...chills. I've wanted to be allowed to die in a way like that. I've never gone through something as horrific as Rachel, but I hurt in my personal way. I think we all just long to be "Home".
I believe you. Brave girl!
Thank you Rachel for your story may God protect you and heal you. Praise God for giving you the strength to come this far
To protect boys from abuse, inform them to be wary of and steer clear of men who call them by girls' names.
Yes
That’s good
But the abuser manipulates and threatens … its sad
However the boys and girls must be properly reassured to be careful
But to report him immediately he makes them feel uncomfortable.
I beg, because the clergy ( some of them ) are psychologists by training.
Too much of this abuse is being and has been swept under the carpet.
Dear Doctor Morse, this interview was extremely helpful and healing. Listening to Rachel, and especially seeing her facial responses-so totally real-made the interview so valuable as a healing tool.
Some never receive true help or healing but continue to be abused and blamed for decades; however, no one comprehends, let alone begins to understand “WHAT IS GROOMING?” “How & Why does grooming work?” And “How does one recover after decades of repeated familial and outer abuse and grooming?”
Could you have a program where you specifically detail exactly what grooming is, how it’s done, and how we can help protect our children, family, and friends?
Thank you for all the work you do. And please thank Rachel for caring enough about others to share her horrendous trauma.
GOD BLESS YOU BOTH
Jesus never covers up evil in any way
Hi Everyone, Thank you for your comments. In looking at some of these comments, I think you can see in miniature some of the things victims have to deal with. Deflection. Changing the subject. Casting doubt on the victim's credibility without actually challenging the salient facts that the man she accused in fact confessed, and was convicted of a felony. I let these comments stand, by way of illustration.
God bless you woman of God
That something systemic she is talking about, I have experienced too under a different pseudo religious organization. Ritual abuse is so tragic. I am sorry that happened to you.
Horrible entitled clergy raping defenseless is so disturbing. But, thank you for your brave testimony.
Bishops protecting them is worse.
In Sudbury, I know a women like this, who held priests in "awe". In my view this priest was an obvious homosexual, but he groomed the family, and ended up taking the women's son on a week skiing over the "March Break", the boy was 13, 14 or 15 maybe. it was a while ago, 2004 or 2005.
I'm so proud of you Rachel for keeping up the good fight. I hope one day you get to finally share your story with all it's complications and show how God continued(s) to work through you and all the pain. I keep the pic frame you gave us of St Therese at the front door and people always ask about it. I tell them honestly I've never felt super close to that Saint lol but it's a constant reminder to me of you and your faith and perseverance. Keep going friend! 💖
So they transfer the guilty priest, that is a corrupt system, no concern for the peoples welfare. That is crazy, but commonplace
God bless you, Rachel. I believe every word and I'm so sorry it happened to you
I'm inspired by your courage and bravery.
I was abused too and i know how lonely it can get 😢
You no longer trust anyone; it feels safer to be alone. No surprises/no heartbreak.
Too many young nuns and priests have faced such exploitation by others within the clergy. The trauma within the cloister then the further abuses against other children members of the parish due to predators hiding in plain site of a religion banner.
God bless and heal you, ma'am
Thank you.
Really feel bad for her and what happened to her as a victim, it shouldn't have happened! Unfortunately, these evil men that join the church make the rest of the good priests look bad...I've met some great priests over the years that never had anyone accuse them of anything because they had been transparent and careful around children etc. They get lumped in, unfortunately.
This woman is so authentic. Typical that someone would turn up and abuse her, just because she is trusting and authentic. I hope she will keep well now. The Church is a mess.
My husband & I want to go to mass, but we are so disgusted at the Church right now, so we mostly end up jumping mass.
All sorts of pagan Evil is allowed or even promoted by the Church right now. It is disgusting and sadening too.
Do they make it obvious , even though all of their secrets are out ? 😈☠
@@smartypants4571 OP is talking about the changes to "modernize" the Mass and the Church since the Second Vatican Council.
@serafinatruth4029 Is there an SSPX chapel or mission, or even a monastery where the traditional Latin Mass is celebrated, anywhere near you? Or at least within driving distance?
@@anng.4542 Hi Ann, we live too far from Latin mass.
But we have started to go to local mass again.. At least they are not using the Church to push Babylon Satanic WHO gen therapy injections at present. If they start that again we will make another break.
Bless you 🙏🏼
If they
Poor girl to have been put through all that.
I was clawing my bed watching this because she was telling her story and was cut off by interviewer and brought all the way to the end of the 10 months. Why? Then bounced all over and lost the whole story. I can't watch anymore it made me so anxious plus I don't know what the heck is going on now
So glad when she truly opened up - and showed true emotion as it shows TRUTH of this evil. And Jesus totally understood all of this… He is against taking advantage of young ones, and anytime there is anything sexual it is pure, pure, pure, pure evil. There should be no surprise the Catholic Church is rife rife rife with sexual abuse . . .and so are many other church “leaders”
Very insightful interview, the number of interruptions made it hard to fully hear Rachel's story however.
She was the perfect victim...Her Father had died...she was Super Spiritual and very naive...believed that men or Priests were wonderful...poor thing...she will heal forever.
He's dangerous, doing that during the Holy Mass ✝️🕯🕯🍷🕯🕯🇻🇦How could his Monsignor allow him to remain a priest after he confessed?
He was kicked out of the priesthood
He was able to harness your ego. You believe you can be holy and perfect through Christ.
Let the interviewee tell her story without being interrupted.
Thank you for bringing light to the grooming process. It's so hideous that someone can be so deceptive to use church terminology to twist and contort everything. I'm so sorry this happened to you. I hope your mother hasn't lost her faith like Emanuela's parents.
This is crazy!
Is there any connection with these abusing priests/seminarians? Where they were trained, who their superiors were?
I believe her. I believe that a person can be innocent and gullible and trusting. And I can believe that the dissonance between a supposed holy man doing an evil act would so surreal that there can be doubt that it may have actually happened.
Sounds like she froze...its a survival technique where a victim freezes body and mind to survive the assault...no wonder she was shocked out of belief...
Amen.
When I was in seminary with Jacob Bertrand & Rich Mastrogiacomo I always thought that Bertrand having young female directees (aka the ‘Ange girls’) for spiritual direction was odd. Rich was in the same friend group with Bertrand. As much as I sympathize with Rachel, I wish she was a little more forthright about the fact that her husband was a priest and attended the same prayer meetings in the basement of the PNAC with Bertrand and other female students from the Angelicum.
She married a man who left the priesthood?
@@didymussumydid9726 Correct. He was in the same clique as Bertrand while in seminary.
@@dds9025 I’m very confused. I think you’re right and they should have explained this all up front
Grace and peace to you in Christ Jesus! Please do know that the Church has spoken. Rich and I were sacramentally married as faithful Catholics nearly a decade ago. However, I realize you were a seminarian at the NAC and I completely understand your desire to better understand what transpired. Your questions and concerns are totally valid. However, the point of this interview was not to address our vocational crisis; it honestly would have taken another hour or two to share that aspect of the story. For whatever it’s worth, I’m writing a book and would be more than happy to send you a copy when it is published. I think it could answer a lot. Would you be open to reading the book and better understanding what happened? God bless you!
@@rachelmastrogiacomo I’m sorry Rachel- it saddens me to see your lack of self-awareness here. The fact that you married a priest friend of Bertrand is an essential element and should’ve been included in the video. It would not have required another hour to mention that. As someone who has worked with some survivors of clergy sexual abuse when they were children, it saddens me that you are not fully honest here when I know plenty of others who are fully honest and forthright and who aren’t getting or desiring the kind of attention you are receiving. I know too much to take you as seriously as I otherwise would.
Regarding your book- please search your conscience and make sure to not sin by omission- omitting pertinent details that provide people with a more complete view of the situation. We see the media do that all the time- omitting pertinent details- let’s not be like them- we are followers of Christ not media people trying to push a narrative to manipulate people. I’m not trying to be mean or nasty- please understand that- but you need to consider this for your own sake. ‘The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth’- this is what we need to be about. It’s good to share your story- but it’s all about how you do that.
I mean I was abused by the janitor in my catholic school
If Rachel's story is meaningful to you, you may be interested in other videos on our Childhood Sex Abuse playlist. There are other Survivor stories, as well as interviews with therapists, and people discussing some of the Church politics surrounding these questions. ruclips.net/p/PLSi2OoPf_APsndCdi6QloKxuLlYwCMMyk
No church politics mam....the church is Holy & from God & can't sin.
Your mistaking the bride of Christ ...for actual persons who were perhaps guilty of grave sins & crimes.
Don't slander the bride of Christ.
…but the people who are a part of the church can (and do) sin! Your comment shames victims and victim shaming is one of the many reason some survivors may never come forward.
@UCHk9HM5Drtj47baODoUMjPg really are you a practicing catholic & member of the church & pray for everyone in it?
What is more shamefull is associating the church with sin when it's the Holy Bride of Christ & cannot sin.
Don't deflect ....
@UCHk9HM5Drtj47baODoUMjPg No shame if you were not guilty of a sin .....
The Bride of Christ does not sin. But those who are members of the body of Christ DO sin. Bringing up clergy abuse and church politics is a part of the human side of things. It’s something we should do! It is church politics that has covered up abuse and protected perpetrators for far too long. It is this human side of the church that Dr. Morse and I were referring to in our comments. And, yes, I do pray…I am a practicing Catholic and a survivor of rape by a priest. Believe me, I pray.
That's a good song name 😂
❤️❤️❤️
On your spiritual journey leading up to your assault, were you encouraged and did you actually study all parts of the bible?
I wholeheartedly believe this woman though unfortunately I know that speaking in a spiritual rhetoric can instantly cause speculation in the minds of people who unknowingly adhere to pure naturalism/materialism. I felt my old biases surfacing when she said she was being groomed for a “satanic black mass” but then it dawned on me that this is exactly what sexual abuse from the clergy is. I pray she finds comfort.
He wasn't very good at it. If he was good at it he would be getting away with it now with a group of women and no one would know. We all must be vigilant and watch for this sort of behavior.
For all we know, he is doing it to others.
He was still a novice at manipulating. If your guest had not reported him, he would have gotten very good at it. She remained steadfast in her prayer and stayed with the Church. It was a miracle
I Think this woman did a wonderful job interviewing her with compassion.
thank you. Nonetheless, I continue to take people's criticism on this point (from a year ago!) very much to heart.
I completely agree.
@@RuthInstitute I also thought that you were being very respectful and kind. I just thought that your firmness seemed like you care about her very much and perhaps got a little protective over her (?) Anyway, thank you for your efforts in bringing these violent situations into light. Many people will benefit from this video. We need strong women who are not afraid to speak up and fight against this abuse. Some other people might have been more timid and gentle in their interviewing style, but also those kinds of people might not have the courage to ever even speak about a subject like this publicly. There are many people who are eager to judge and complain, even though they themselves would never be able to do the work that you do. So thank you.
There is something off with this. She's like someone who is presented in a court as stainless and virtuous and she never did anything wrong. Too good to be true. The funny thing is I believe this stuff really happens but I'm having trouble being convinced on this one.
WHERE WAS"JESUS" WHEN YOU WERE BEING ABUSED??????? THESE VICTIMS WILL NEVER LEARN!!!!
In essence you are questioning the existence of a higher being because of the existence of (despicable) evil. People throughout time have wrestled with that question and often leave without an answer that satisfies. In fact, the story of Jesus is the archetype of horrendous bad happening to good (even innocent) people. If you have had something bad happen to you, and I am deeply sorry if that is the case, or are just struggling with the fact that horrendous evil can happen, I'd highly recommend delving in to the story of Jesus to see if you can glean any insights from it. If you don't have a physical copy, I recommend Bible Hub, as it has many translations available along with additional commentary: biblehub.com/niv/matthew/1.htm

Thats what the roman temple has all bn about.
Since its inception.
Sex magic propels its gods and goddesses to the highest heights.
Power to control the governments spiritually
Definitely.
Jordan maxwell.s wkrk shows this. Nothing holy about rome.
I’m not sure this is your strong suit, interviewing women like this. There’s 1 million questions you didn’t ask and you didn’t really seem too concerned about this poor child well-being, and more just about establishing what you wanted to know.
❤🎉✌😇🕊
Ruth, with kindness and respect, you need to stop interrupting her story and asking such bold questions to a trauma survivor. Providing safety and comfort is what you need to do, not direct verbal combat.
I know. Sorry. See the comment pinned to the top of the comments for this video. Mea culpa.
@@RuthInstitute 💜
The greatest priests and my best friend, spiritual director, ✝️Father Fred And The Twelve Steps (book) and ✝️Father Ralph Anthony DiOrio, and ✝️Father Thomas Dubay, SM. were the greatest preachers, teachers, and always led all to Jesus through Blessed Virgin Mary Mother of God, Our Lady of Fatima ❤St. Joseph, and our Triumphant Church, Deposit of Faith 🇻🇦
He looks possessed of demonic knowing...of course he knew how to entrance her.
I thought the interviewer framed the facts in a clinical way by her questions and it brought clarity.
Never ask outside sources what yourbpath in life will be. It is best to find our own path.
Rachel is very innocent. How wicked of that priest.
thanks for this nice comment. Since doing this interview, I have had the opportunity to meet Rachel and her husband Rich, in person. They are both very innocent. Pure. Amazingly lovely people.
Not surprisingly, this comments thread is full of posts from Protestants criticizing the Church and hoping to convince Catholics to abandon the Church. What I did not expect to see is the comments from occultists, trying to convince us that this survivor's experiences were not actually satanic or that she has merely been play-acting.
You may want to see that many of the Catholic rituals are Satanic. All religions praise the god of this realm. This is why Jesus told us to disregard the Old Testament, and came here to do just that. If Jesus is your God, why would you eat his flesh, and drink his blood. Or anyone's, for that matter. Think about it.
They prefer to keep it the hidden religion...no wonder they try to minimize a testimonial.
The best concept and truth you need to grasp is that you can never be worthy of God's love and/or salvation. We do not become Christians because we are holy and acceptable to God. We are received as God's children because Jesus Christ was perfect, never sinned, was crucified, died on the Cross, and on the 3rd day conquered death and hell and arose. The depths of hell could not bind Him. Come to the feet of God in humility and repentance. God will sanctify you with His Holy Spirit throughout the rest of your life. We become more like Christ through sanctification.
It’s horrible what this lady had to endure in her past experiences with spirituality. I believe true spiritual experience should bring you closer to almighty God. In order to come closer to God Almighty, we should follow him in the best of manners that he prescribed for us. God Almighty wants us to pray with sincerity dignity, and humility.
I sincerely believe you can achieve this through the holy Quran, the last revelation of God almighty.
No such thing as a " spiritual person" we are All individuations of God ...This is what is Yet to be Aware of in education . Abuse of Power can b mental emotional
Unhealed aspects ...Wounds in people's emotional, mental, spiritual Bodies
As we move through time to the events in space whuch we Are a conscious being Of
Much to be learned from us All .
Ancient black cults
Another thing...there is no such thing as a woman being a friend with a young priest. A woman needs to keep a healthy distance...period! Just because a man is a priest does not make him without temptations. Women need to stop now...and keep your distance! Our priests are under big attack from all sides, women be prudent and wise.
Are we going to see a book deal and movie? Honestly in all fairness I would like to hear from Bertrand....oops...he's bound to not speak.
One would think you would understand that a satanic priest is a plant, designed to hunt for and bring down souls. But... maybe you are sympathetic to priests who literally serve Satan? I support a different kind of priest. One that serves God not the devil.
Elle, this story sure does hit a real nerve in you, doesn't it? I dare you to look at that, and I mean really look at it. Patrick Coffin blocked you after you "warned" him that I was after him next. We had a real good laugh, Elle. I believe Timothy Gordon may have blocked you as well. Seriously, Elle, why are you obsessed with discrediting my story? Who even are you? You continue to go out of your way to discredit me whenever I do something public. I don't even know you; I have absolutely no idea who you are. Perhaps my story is particularly triggering for you, and I want you to know that I see you and I bless you in the name of the Lord Jesus. And yes, as a matter of fact, there is a book underway and I would be more than willing to send you a free copy when it is published. God bless you, Elle.
@@rachelmastrogiacomo God bless you Rachel. I believe you. We believe you. Above all, Our Lord believes you.
Too many interruprions. It is not interesting.
I don’t know how you call yourself a professional when you’re literally cutting people off every other word. Every time she starts speaking you cut her off and tell Her to stop talking so you can ask other stuff.
I dont trust her.
Rachel Mastrogiacomo or Dr. Morse?
It only takes one bad actor to ruin a life.
It is so irritating when the interviewer continually interrupts the person speaking. We dont want to hear you we want to hear what the lady is saying.
She shows all the signs of deception and none of the characteristics of someone who is suffering any trauma. She’s tell a story but it’s fiction.
Which is why the priest was sentenced to 10 years of probation even with her neighbors being willing to testify in favor of the priest and against her? No. That's not a plausible explanation.
Here's more on the story: www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/religion/sd-me-adult-abuse-20180801-story.html
He confessed to a superior that he had conducted black mass with her involving sra.
But ! Yet people still think religion is the way forward ...good grief ! ! ! It's a Savior program .... wake up ! You have been lied too !!!
I'll agree that it is a Savior program - but probably not like you're thinking. A Savior program that promises people benefits long after they are dead if they are good in this life seems like it could actually help the world. Too many people are only concerned about the here and now. On the other hand, yes, there are sociopaths who use religion as a tool to gain their ends - which is not just hypocritical, it is the antithesis of good and religion, and it is outright evil and every good Christian ought to work towards ending things like that such as clergy sex abuse. But this isn't a phenomena limited to religions. How many school teachers are guilty of abusing their kids? We actually don't know - though the estimates are insane - millions of kids. Or Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Castro?
Chow did he abuse you over mass
Her body language doesn't agree with her words
What do you know about body language? Keep quiet ma'am
@@mariaadhiambo4738 And what do you know about what i know?? You stay quite. You sound like a fool
Dissociation ripple effects.
The story so unbelievable now she gets to play at being a good Christian victim woman. This was some role-playing sex with this twisted woman enjoy all not allowed to say she's twisted she was into it I mean it sounds like something out of a erotica novel.
Let her speak! You are destroying this interview. Learn about how to interview people and Never interfere - you are just stating the obvious. Very irritating
Since this interview we've had this comment several times. We have worked to incorporate it in other interviews, and hopefully you can tell in the videos we are trying to fix it.
You guys do everything to bash the holy Mass ! She knew he was messed up , wrong ? Why didn’t she speak up ! As a catholic , you should have never heard that ! Listened do that
What did he do to her ffs?
Hail Satan
This person has made his/her position clear.
@@RuthInstitute
I think you should delete that comment, keep the channel clean.
Why. They exist. They watch. Best not to pretend...just dont agree with them.
You have no idea what you are inviting in your life.
Are you so innocent or naive that your regularly meeting up with young seminarians that want to become priests.
Not like it's a family priest that the family knew & asked him to help her out.
Did you watch the whole video? Yes, she was innocent and naive. That is what made her an attractive target.
I am having a hard time following this story as well.
@@jennifermorse2372 I think the problem is understanding right and wrong. Take Teresa, the young girl who was a victim decades ago. She knew. Emanuela, who was kidnapped and tortured. I can't wrap my mind around it.
While all this was going on, she married another priest from the NAC, (Fr) Richard Mastrogiacomo of Diocese of Rockville Centre in 2014 just four months after he was laicized, and just four years after he was ordained. Plenty of media on this online. Serious questions have to be asked about the NAC. Also for the poster above, Bertrand eventually became like a family priest, the masses where she were assaulted took place in two different ones of her relatives homes after they flew back from Rome to the USA together
@@ghostghost7067 Woe!
They both seem like actors, but they're not very good actors. The allegedly abused woman seems too happy and cheerful to have been sexually abused. I don't believe this story.
Hi everyone: more victim shaming going on here. Would you believe her if she were a blubbering mass of tears? After however many years have gone by?
@@RuthInstitute She doesn't need tears. She just doesn't have the appearance of someone who has been traumatized.
@@NightShade671 What exactly does "someone who has been traumatized" even look like? What if a person is making progress on recovering from trauma? What would that person "look like?" Would you dismiss their testimony?
@@NightShade671 Part of her recovery was coming under the care of an exorcist. What you see is the joy of a soul who has been liberated from evil.
Your comment sounds like you are trying to draw her back into the darkness.
@@anng.4542 That's only if the story is true. You're argument is circular, because you assume the validity of the story. To me, they both seem like they are acting. I could be wrong, it's just my perception.
Her ability to turn on and turn off waterworks in this video and others I've seen where she is the guest makes me question her credibility even though the priest confessed to the rape. She very easily moves through the gammet of emotions...too much affect.
It’s been 10+ years since her experience. I’m sure some parts of the story still hit a nerve and some are more healed over.
I believe that the priest Bewitched her thru something introduced into her food...
When she vomitted on that Good Friday ( that particular day has significance ) she regurgated the ENTITY that was in her...
As such she was saved from becoming a nun when she would have been indoctrinated and seduced into satanic depths.
There is a Deep Church...the Unholy Harlot who rides the BEAST and preys on innocent sheep like Rachel...
God bless Rachel and may her suffering be united to that of Jesus to save Souls...
Oh good GRIEF!!!!!!! Stop it!!! What do you expect? Her to be crying non-stop through this whole thing??
@@starlingswallowImagine doubting a survivor even AFTER the perpetrator confesses and/or is found guilty. And the op has a woman's name. This is why SA and R have not ended.
If she was telling this story for the first time, the interview would have to stop because it would take a while to gather herself to resume. Anyway, I was glad to see how quickly she recovered because its testament to the fact she is making good progress in her healing.
This woman is an awful interviewer
She asked Jesus to take her life then went to a priest to repent of it? Okay..
Wishing death upon one self is a grave sin, it goes against the first commandment. And even if a priest is in grave sin, it is Jesus through the Sacrament of Reconciliation that is the way Jesus grants us forgiveness. So it is not ironic.
2 Corinthians 5:18-20
“And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.”
@@atgred Actually laying down your life for a friend is literally the highest expression of love according to the Gospel. If you look at the statistics murder and suicide prevail among different groups because they are different, one might say opposite, impulse. Jesus stated repeatedly that he lay down his own life, yet "Christians" are repeatedly blaming Jews, Romans, and whoever they're preaching at for Jesus' death. See murder and suicide are often lumped together by organizations that seek to control societies. Almost all "Christian" churches, contrary to the early martyrs and other self-sacrificers, forbid it. Psychology throws around the term "a danger to himself and others" (which sneakily takes in most people ensuring their job security by exploiting the same institutional lie concerning people's inner workings). But you just go right ahead and spend some time on Jesus' words, and get back to me. Now concerning the priest thing, it goes against both good sense and historical Church practice to confide everything in the trained representative of the hierarchy. Public sins for sure ought to be confessed publicly (as ideally everything ought); private interpersonal grievances ought to be resolved between the two who people concerned (again JESUS); nothing between God and me is anyone's business but ours (notice I haven't told you jack about my prayer, and I never will). Most of this is covered by the common-sense as well as Church-professed principle of subsidiarity. Now if you want to be ridiculously institutionalized that's also your right, but I thought it was important that you have the advantage of some actual wisdom and the words of the Gospel for what appears to be the first time in your life, just in case you ever decide to repent of preaching this anti-Christ drivel. Be blessed!
@@johnmcguire4635 which "anti-Christ drivel" are you referring to? The part where we listen to a victim of sexual abuse, take her seriously and try to support her healing process?
@@johnmcguire4635 You seem to have wandered onto the wrong video.
Yea...because suicide is a sin. Where have you been?
If indeed her story is true (occult stuff and all) or if it is all made up by her, I think it would be fair to say that in either case she needs to repent for her sins as well, ya know "mea culpa"... because it seems she was very willing, maybe for reasons of vanity and self grandeur. Oh the spiritual part, yes, we all deal with it in some ways or another, because those inner/outer demons never stop, but we have will power and must take responsibility for our own actions. We cannot just say "the devil made me do it", which in some ways it is true, but we did the deed anyway. And I read elsewhere that she married an ex seminarian...so yeah the story is sketchy. Sorry folks just my mediocre opinion.
yea, it is a mediocre opinion. if you watched the video, you will know that she has repented. And getting married and staying married, does not make the story "sketchy."
@@jennifermorse2372 Yeah, I did and many others. You don't have to agree. Such is life.
How do you know what she repented for or didn't repent for?
YOUR story seems sketch and it is truly amazing that you have the hubris to cast aspersions on someone whose perpetrator HAS ADMITTED TO DOING ALL OF THIS IN A COURT OF LAW. It is on record.
Additionally predators pray upon people's wounds/weaknesses. You think you don't have them? That you couldn't be taken advantage of or be deceived? You have much to learn.
Her father passed when she was young. This priest -- gradually, over time - preyed upon this wound as well as her desire to be a holy woman. Additionally, he used black magick, as in witchcraft on her. All of these things to a twenty-something-year old could do grave damage and seriously disrupt or confuse her.
Esp. when a priest is supposed to be a spiritual-father-figure and is in a position of authority.
Do you honestly think there is nothing within you that the devil couldn't get ahold of and use to try and take you down??? That you are above reproach and in a position to cast apsersions on someone whose story has already been verified? Amazing.
@@cjgodley1776 Apparently you are taking her plight a bit too personal! I am a saint and sinner, as the parlance goes, and am dealing with my own demons(as we all are). So I am not above reproach from GOD! And yes I agree a "priest is supposed to be a spiritual father" and not have sex with laity! But some accounts state he was not a priest and she states that they did the deed in her home. You think she is infallible of sin, just because she states she was preyed upon? Believe all women right? How can she not realize that having sex during the liturgy is "no bueno"??? Even I, who is a man that rejected God for many years know that's such disrespect, but her being versed in the scripture and being a devout Catholic did not see anything unsettling with that? Oh, because her father died when she was 13, lets give her a pass? Come on! Her story is flaky. Hope she feels better and yes I am criticizing, but not judging. Only my LORD above can do this. Bid you well.🙏✝️⚔️
@@h.e.pennypacker4567 No one said she was infallible of sin.
Just because she may have sinned in her wanting to be thought of as special DOES NOT GIVE A PRIEST A RIGHT TO PREY UPON HER.
You clearly have zero concep of the occult. Zero concept of witchcraft. Zero concept of how spiritual authority works and are trying to let a convicted sex offender OFF THE HOOK.
Dispicable!
100% never happened.
Worst interviewer ever
