Five priests gave physical abuse of the woman, say - 'You will have sex, your secrets will be kept secret'
The believer says that if you repent for any wrongdoing and apologize then God forgives. I have seen in movies that in the cathedral there is a closed cabin on one side. The outside does not see who is inside the cabin. People go inside that cabin and confess their guilt. They think that they 'confessed' before Christ. Their mind becomes calm. This is the custom of Christianity. A woman who has been associated with Christianity in Kerala did the same. But she could not find any peace Because the priest who had heard his confession in the cabin, turned upside down and blackmailed that woman. He sexually abused the woman. Then the pastor also joined it. All this was going on for the last few years. Now the woman's husband knows this thing. She sent a complaint letter to the church. The five accused have been sent on leave for the past. The Orthodox Syrian Church of Kerala has set up an investigation against these five. The church says that only after the investigation it will know whether the charges are true or not. The rules of the church say that whatever people confess, they will be preserved. Church or pastor will never reveal them.
Who are these five accused pastors
The names of these five clergy are: Father Job Mathew Father Abraham Verghese. George of George Jess Father Johnson v Matthews Father Jijo J Abraham
The case is something
According to what the husband said in his complaint, the case is something. A pastor of the victim's woman was exploited before marriage. After marriage, the woman disclosed it to a pastor in the church. In front of a clergyman, he began to blackmail the woman. The priest threatened that she would tell her husband everything. In lieu of silence, she asked the woman to have sex with her. He also took pictures of himself and the woman. These pictures she appeared to a third priest. With the help of these photographs, the third cleric also started blackmailing the woman. The series continued to progress like this. And gradually seven to eight pastors joined in all this. Husband says that in February 2018, he suspected his wife. Because the hotel had a huge bill on his email account. She found out that her wife was staying in a five-star hotel. When he asked about this about the wife, then the blackmail thing came to know. According to the husband, one of the accused clerics physically exploited his wife at least 380 times.
What is being said in response to these allegations?
Now some people in the church are questioning why both husband and wife remained silent for so long, despite all this happening. Why did not they complain first? The husband also said that he does not want to complain in the police. There are questions on this too. There is also a second theory in response to allegations of women. Some people are saying that when the woman was young, then she had an affair with a pastor. Then she came in contact with another pastor. Then when he came to the college, then he came in contact with a third priest. Is there a problem with this theory? The woman's affair with all the three priests, it seems a bit overwhelming. At present, both parties have kept the police away from this matter. Since this case is several years old, so it will take time to examine the church.
In Kerala even before such cases have happened
In 2017, a Catholic priest in Kerala's Kannur district was accused of raping a minor girl. It was alleged that the priest had started blackmailing the girl's confession. Kerala Catholic Reformation Movement This is an organization demanding reform in the church. In 2017 this organization was detained outside the Bishop House. They demanded that Nuns should listen to women's confessions instead of clerics. Otherwise, sometimes it happens that the priests blackmail women because of these confessions. Exploit them. But the Kerala Bishop Council rejected these demands.
