There are now nine reports of sexual abuse at Montserrat Abbey, an icon of pro-independence Catholicism.
Benedictine Abbey of Montserrat
Montserrat is an emblematic religious center for all Catalans and for Catalan nationalism, whether pro-independence or not. It is an intellectual center where the most radical ideas against Spanish society have been developing since the late 60s. The highly politicized and xenophobic homilies of its current abbot are well known. José María Soler calling for an uprising against the tyrannical and undemocratic Spanish State. It has also been at the forefront of the secularization of the Catholic faith, transforming Catholic doctrine into a libel that has absolutely nothing to do with the concord of the gospel.
Victims of Andrés Soler
Are already nine victims' complaints presented to this depraved man who told his victims "I ejaculate to give you the Body of Christ". This is not over, because reporting is difficult for victims. The human mind defends itself against major traumas by trying to "encapsulate" the memories of experiences that continue to produce profound, and often irreversible, damage to the victim's personality.
Miguel HurtadoA child psychiatrist, she was the first victim to report the abuse. She joined the abbey's scouts in the late 90s. She was 15 years old. Once a month they stayed overnight in a residence equipped with bunk beds. It was there that Andrés soler He was committing the abuses at the age of 65. The situation became unbearable for Miguel Hurtado, who then informed the monk. José María Sanromán This monk reported what was happening to the abbot. Sebastian Bardolet who promises to give Andrés Soler "a nudge".
In 1999, Miguel Hurtado was studying for his university entrance exams and used this as an excuse to skip scout meetings. Once he passed, he began studying medicine at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. He told his mother what had happened, and she, very upset, informed the new abbot. José María Soler. He writes to Miguel Hurtado asking her not to report the abuses and that they have transferred Andrés Soler to the monastery of "El Milagro".
Hurtado is focused on her career. However, when a program dealing with the issue of abuse is scheduled, she suffers a psychological crisis that forces her to seek help. Vicky Bernadet Foundation. As he resolves his psychological crisis, he gathers enough strength to write to the new abbot José María Soler to inform him that he had been undergoing treatment and that he should pay the costs. The abbey reimburses him. 7.200 Euros in installment payments and without a receipt to avoid being tracked by the tax authorities.
Later, she moved to Madrid to complete her residency in psychiatry. While specializing, her father died in 2011. She searched online to learn about Andrés Soler and discovered that A tribute book was published in 2007 Miguel Soler, who died in 2008, was deeply frustrated by this. He went to Montserrat and gave the money he had received to Abbot José María Soler. The abbot denied knowing about the book's publication and promised it would be removed from bookstores and sales. As you can see in the image, this is not true. The book, which praises the "commendable" work of Andrés Soler, is for sale, although it is not available on Amazon.
Currently, Miguel Hurtado continues his fight against sexual abuse in the church, now without faith and in collaboration with other victims of the pedophile Andrés Soler.
Ricardo Zamora, Ricardo Zamora, 55, is the second victim to publicly speak out about the sexual abuse he suffered. He currently lives in Sabadell and confesses that, although he has not suffered any lasting effects, he wishes to document the abuse. At the time Ricardo Zamora was sexually abused, the abbot was... Cassian Just.
In 1978, his parents sent him to the abbey due to behavioral problems. From the first night, Andrés Soler got into his bed. In response, he ran away from the abbey and, upon arriving home, told his parents that "Where the hell had they sent him?"
JR Ramírez (Almería, 1955) At the age of 15, he learned that Montserrat needed young people as laborers. He went there and worked first as a dishwasher, and later cleaning tables. He attended the abbey from 1970 to 1975.
One night in 1971, she had to sleep with Andrés Soler, who "spent the whole night groping me." From then on, she tried her best to avoid the friar and forget what had happened.
She says she has not suffered any lasting effects, although she has never been able to forget the abuse. It is also inexplicable that no one took action because what was happening was known to everyone; they saw what everyone else saw, he says.
Agustín Bruach, The fourth victim to publicly denounce an attempted sexual assault by Andrés Soler. She states that he tried to force himself on her, although she ultimately managed to escape.
A fifth victim, He has written to the monastery alleging that he too suffered sexual abuse in the 70s at the hands of Soler when he was a member of the monastery's scouts at the age of 15. And so it went until the ninth complaint, a case that faithfully reflects the degree of psychopathy and depravity of the Benedictine friar Andres Soler.
Raul P, the ninth victim.
Raul was diagnosed at age 13 with Ewing sarcoma, a highly aggressive bone cancer that typically appears in adolescence. For two years, he faced the uncertainty of life and death. One of his legs was amputated. His adolescence became an ordeal, both because of the rejection and mockery from some classmates and because of feeling like an outcast within his peer group. The isolation and the suffering associated with the disabilities resulting from the amputation caused him a deep depression that led him to a suicide attempt on December 31, 1986After several days in a coma, life had even more suffering in store for him. Having just turned 19, his parents, on the advice of some friends, introduced him to Andrés Soler. He invited him to a scouting trip that included an overnight stay.
That same night, knowing Raul's suffering, he tried to have full sexual intercourse with him, but was unsuccessful due to Raul's resistance. The next day, he was picked up by his parents, and that incident, which he hadn't told anyone about, was indeed the reason for... a second depressive episode that led to a second suicide attempt.
Raul managed to rebuild his life. Now married and the father of a daughter, he lives outside of Catalonia. However, he has not been able to forget that experience, which leaves him in a distressing state of doubt about his sexual identity. a frequent consequence in those children or adolescents who have been victims of homophilic sexual abuse.
CONCLUSION
The presidents of the Episcopal Conferences People from all over the world are in Rome making a public act of contrition and purpose of amendmentAll of them, including Pope Francis, were aware of this rottenness and preferred to buy the silence of the victims rather than try to help them and bring those responsible to justice.
Now they want to convince us that this is over. They ask for forgiveness, they beat their chests, but I don't believe them. I think rather that they are trying to save an institution that is sinking, and not only because of the sexual abuse, but also because of numerous other financial scandals.
How can we believe they are sincere when Pope Francis himself keeps in their positions people who have organized homosexual orgies in the Vatican, drug users, swindlers, embezzlers of funds that were intended for charitable works and were diverted to build themselves luxurious homes?
These days they are constructing a false narrative about what happened, a narrative that they will repeat to us ad nauseam in order to refloat Peter's BoatAnyway, I hope I'm wrong, but given how the meeting has been approached and the proposed script, I'm afraid it won't be possible.
