Exploring Sister Cathy Cesnik’s Murder thru Repressed Witnesses A Review of a Resurfacing of Sexual Abuse on an Article about a Netflix Documentary “The Keepers” (Netflix, 2017) Student University of the People EXPLORING SISTER CATHY CESNIK’S MURDER THRU REPRESS 2 Summarily, I am reviewing an article on the suspicions of abuse by a Catholic Priest that may also have ties to a homicide of a ‘Nun’. The documentary aligned with this review and summary is called the “Keepers”. (Netflix, 2017) This goes back to a cold case and unsolved murder of Sister Cathy Cesnik presumptuously by a Priest at the High School where she taught. Resurgences into some traumatically hidden repressed memories of supposedly sexual abuse victims Jean Wehner and Teresa Lancaster. It is thought that the ‘Nun’ was murdered because of her knowledge of the abuse who became a fatal victim in the case. Justifiably, a civil case was launched as in the following quote from the article. “The district attorney and the Catholic Church refused to act, so she and another victim …show more content…

Some help from God and their educated counselors to lower the occurrences of this in the Catholic Churches. If the walks of Priesthood cannot be followed, then step down and resign and find additional means to further the Church. However, when a victim is being stoned. Jesus Christ will always protect and stand guard for all innocent against stones of abusive defilements that leave sexually inflicted wounds. Any Priest practicing such is not in any form a representative of Him or an example to others in the Christian Way. From the Popes perspective even though I’m personally not Catholic. There should be a place of zero tolerance and an assured conviction of proven cases. It was conferred by the person that wrote the article that there was evidence for and against repressed

    There is an old saying, “Hear no evil, see no evil” that can be applied in the case of sexually abused people and their own families. On the one hand, victims of sexual abuse are prone to repress their traumatic memories with a view to denying what has happened to them. And on the other hand, the family usually choose to not talk about the incident. This culture of silence and denial around child abuse is clearly shown in the play Perve by Stacy Gregg. Both Gethin and Nick clearly have some secrets about their childhood that are quite painful for them.

    Although, sexual abuse and pornography of children is nothing new within this society each time it is discovered and reported there is an accompanying knee jerk reaction of anger, disgust and distrust that follows so much so that it becomes hard to see the many facets of the whole truth about the situation such was the case with Christopher E. Pelloski M.D. His book, Trauma, Shame and the Power of Love which is a biographical work in which he bares his soul and shares his experiences from arrest to trial as a non productive participant of child pornography. From the outset reading, Mr. Pelloski's stark memoir, created an intense paradox of emotions within me especially because I am a parent of six children. On the one hand he was a Pediatric Oncologist whose job and intention was to help children at their most vulnerable moment and he made great strides in doing so. But on the other hand, he also participated in the very vulgar and harmful activity of online

    Christine De Pizan’s storied life laid the groundwork for her lasting works and strong opinions. Her father’s insistence on teaching her as much as his sons, although her mother objected to this, was a key factor in allowing Christine’s career to actually occur after her husband’s death. Her education pushed back against the norms of the time and allowed her to be extraordinary. Many of her works focus on wisdom and reason as a guiding source for not only Christine De Pizan the author, but also for Christine De Pizan the ‘character’. In Ancient Greece, they worshipped the goddess Athena, sometimes given the epithet Pallas, as the Goddess of Wisdom and War among other things.

  • Disability Oppression And Disabilities

    1340 Words  | 6 Pages

    By 2011, more than 1 billion people around the world were living with a kind of disability wrapping 15% of the world’s population (WHO, 2011). For so long disability was identified under the “individual model”; as a consequence of an impairment “lack or defectiveness in any part of the body”, that leaves the one suffering from it with long term functional limitations. Recently this conceptual understanding has been questioned shedding the light on the social barriers and norms that label impaired people as disabled and restricts them from their social rights and activities. In fact, the society’s organization is increasing the occurrence of abuse at higher incidence for disabled people compared to the rest of the population and by that are considered as “vulnerable”. The following article written by Hollomotz (2012) “Disability, Oppression and Violence: Towards a Sociological Explanation” will be discussed and analysed throughout this paper to understand better the different social forces that face people with learning difficulties and leave them disabled.

  • Spotlight Movie Analysis

    One interesting primary victim shown was Father Ronald Paquin, who admitted to being raped himself, but also confessed to molesting several boys as his time as a priest at St. John the Baptist. Paquin did not seem fazed by his confession because he “never got any pleasure” from molesting his parishioners (Spotlight, 1:15:40). The families of those who were victimized were also interviewed by the spotlight team, one woman said that her family was pressured into settling the lawsuit, which required them to sign a nondisclosure agreement. The families are secondary victims because although they weren’t the ones victimized directly, the fact that a loved one was hurt affected them as well. The other parishioners even those who were not abused, are tertiary victims, because they feel betrayed that their priests abused so many of their other fellow church members, and the archdiocese did nothing about it.
