AGREED!

And it's especially appropriate because of the ambiguities of meaning within the colloquialism, "fuck." It goes beyond sexualised abuse and speaks of the mental, psychological, pastoral and spiritual damage sexualised abuse inevitably causes within - and outside - faith communities.

Thanks 🙏 you get it. Yes, I will be discussing all forms of abuse. And I did ask victims of clergy sexual abuse about the title - they all laughed. Though I was sent a barrage of abusive messages when I released my first episode telling me I was “vile”, “revolting” and a abuser “masquerading as help” - and I’m a “poor victim When criticised” - I shutter to think what they think abuse is if they only call this criticism

LOLS. So typical. It reminds me of dropping a "fuck" or a "shit" amidst conversations about a very serious topic. All of a sudden, conversation about child abuse or rape turns into moral tirades about swearing¹ or "cuss words" and how people shouldn't use "that kind of language." Another avoidance tactic! Talk about killing the messenger ...

¹My views on that are unconventional but that's another story!
