Religious order abuse is a problem in the Catholic Church that is too often not exposed for fear of reprisal, cover-up, or a false sense of "scandalizing" the Church. Ignoring the problem does not make it go away. Some Catholics who left everything to follow God are suffering under the thumb of superiors who have used their role to manipulate, torment, and abuse those they are called to serve as Christ served. If you are a former member of a religious community and you are looking for resources, or would like to get your story out, please contact Alycia at conventreform@wordpress.org.

    Did Anything Good Come From the Convent?

    Did Anything Good Come From the Convent?

    My blog and podcast have focused a lot on the negatives of my time in the convent; and rightly so. However, there are a few things I have gained from the experience.

    Nunsploitation Films: Fact or Fiction?

    Nunsploitation Films: Fact or Fiction?

    Nunsploitation films are a genre of film made popular in the 60's and 70's. One recent film of this genre shows how hideous these films can be. Join me as I ponder how much of these films, if any, are based on real life. We will also look at another film out in theatres about a real life nun, Mother Francis Cabrini. What is the difference between such a film as this and the films that exploit the evil that happens in some convents?

    Are There Cults in Catholicism?

    The BITE Method is a cult mind control model created by former Moon cult member Dr. Steven Hassan.

    In this episode we will look into the BITE Method, it's meaning, and whether religious orders check off any of the necessary boxes for being a cult.
