In Lawsuit, Teen Claims Catholic Priest Drugged and Raped Him When He Was 8
By Hemant Mehta
March 15, 2021
When John* was only eight years old and in second grade, a staffer at Bishop Kelley Catholic School in Michigan drugged and raped [him] in the teachers lounge.
Specifically, Aloysius Father Al Volskis gave the boy two blue pills which he thought were going to help his cold symptoms. Instead, in a state of semi-consciousness, the boy remembers hearing Volskis moaning and uttering prayers or chants in Latin during the assault, Volskis pants around his ankles afterwards, and blood in his own underwear later.
Volskis also told the boy that if he ever told anyone what just happened, Satan would hurt his family.
Due to the threat, the boy remained quiet for years after that incident.
"Satan would hurt his family..." As it is all part of god's plan, since the argument is... everything is per the 'plan'.

I was an alter boy in the Catholic church. I knew at 8 years old that religion was a bunch of crap.

(4,258 posts)3. I questioned at 10 years old.
The Lutheran pastor had given a sermon about faith. After the service I asked him, "How do I get faith?" All I remember is that he said ""You just do".
It still didn't make sense. So I continued on hoping for faith but life taught me differently.
20+ years later.....fuck them all. And 30 years after that I still feel the same.
