Description
<p>When we left off with my friend Cee’s story in<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fake-shaman/id1481215837?i=1000760105592" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Part 1,</a> we heard how after decades of stress and anxiety caused by the four sexual assaults committed by Father Charles Sullivan — in 1981 — she decided to seek justice, and she retained the services of a law firm to deal with the Catholic Diocese of Springfield, Massachusetts. If you haven’t listened to (or read) Part One, I recommend you do before you listen to the rest of this episode.</p><br><p>At the end of Part 1, it was September 2, 2020 and Cee had just emailed me for the first time:</p><p>“I was a student of Saint Matthew’s. I have contacted a lawyer about several issues involving myself and Father Sullivan. The lawyer is having issues finding information about Father Sullivan’s time at the school. I am hoping, if at all possible, you might be able to help.”</p><br><p>A couple of days later, we spoke for the first time, the first of many calls and the start of a two year journey to right the wrongs she experienced at the hands of the “Angry Drunkard Priest.” That’s what I call Father Charles Sullivan, who was the subject of<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fake-shaman/id1481215837?i=1000726972095" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Episode Four of <strong><em>Unholy Fathers</em></strong>.</a></p><br><p>Aside from her initial interview with the law firm, I was the first person she’d told what happened at the hands of the priest. During our recent conversation recorded last month, I asked her what it had been like to reveal such horrible details to a stranger like me. After all, she’d kept this secret to herself for decades.</p><br><p>for the complete human proofread transcript visit crashbarry.com</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
