The priest had the power of life and death for you, your family and others and could at a whim wield that power against you and any who stood to defend you in less than a second.

The power of that influence is such that any believing adult must fold as to go against the wishes of the priest was social and economic suicide in this life and perpetual shame and torture in the next not just for yourself but for those you loved and cared for the most as these were more easily presented in this blackmail by those who were the product of generations of this continuous blackmail by the priestly classes.

The process deprives people of their security and liberty.

My father folded under that direct pressure on him - he took his anger out on his children until my mother called a stop. She was not born or raised in this emotionally controlling and openly blackmailing environment and was not as deeply subject to the psychological blackmail that exists permanently for Catholics.

Every child born into the Catholic religion will have folded at some point during their introduction to their God and their demon spirits and places. They adapted and integrated by becoming silent and defensive about the particular reasoning and method that overwhelmed them - they had no choice if they were to survive their childhood.

Given a clear description and a clear option without any form of coercion or hold by any religion it becomes almost impossible to describe the control put into the hands of clergy by this process. No child in a safe supportive well adapted environment would willingly make the choice to align itself with a power and control, family shattering, rape enabling culture that has deployed this most degrading human rights abusing form of psychological enslavement and entrapment under the cover of the freedom to practice this form of human slavery in the child's best interests.

Some took the authority of the Church to empower themselves and others to extend the power of clerical life control within the religion to all of those in the wider community. It takes this type of structure to simultaneously corrupt every policy in the country to the extent that each of the 8 or so policing jurisdictions in the country could simultaneously overlook prolific rape crimes by clergy and within religious environments.

The impact affected every rape crime in the country and that continues today simply because we continue to live in the result of one of the most bizarre and damaging to human social development experiments ever devised.

The effects are systemically embedded into every aspect of what is meant to be a democratic system of secular governance that upholds and respects the human rights and dignity of every man, woman and child within the country as that is the duty of care carried by every government in Australia and that duty has been repeatedly abused and denied to large segments of Australian society as a result of the destructive influence of failed belief systems like those of the Catholic and other religions.
