RELIGION CRITIQUED


Letter sent to The Pope in the Vatican, 2003

I apologize for inconveniencing you.  Desperation compels me to do so. I hope that your office can help me put forth  a particularly humiliating experience I suffered. It involved brain-washing  and mind control. I need to caution others.

I have written several letters to his  Holiness John Pope II to no avail. Since1974, I have been physically and  mentally possessed by a certain Father Gino Buressi of Italy. His mentor was the canonized Padre Pio, by whom Father Gino claims to have been  possessed as well as endowed with the same stigmata. Both of them claimed to  have had visions directly from Jesus and the Our Lady of Fatima - who  entreated Father Gino to build a church in her honor in San Victorino Romano -  that same church which he used to immortalize himself. Justified by those  visions, Father Gino blackmailed his followers for donations - and in some  cases threatened death to those who resisted him.

I wish to humbly ask the Vatican how Father Gino could be allowed to become a priest with the authorization of the Vatican though he never attended any school. Where is he supposed to have gotten his  knowledge of truth and honesty? His ethical foundations?

Convinced that he is the savior of the world and we owe him our lives, Father Gino feels he has the right to kidnap innocent people and use them towards his own ends. His greatest pleasure has always been humiliating people, particularly highly educated people. My husband was one such person - an internationally known lawyer living in Rome, while, I, myself came from an aristocratic family of accomplished doctors who treated the czars of Russia. Father Gino led us  on odyssey of possession, in which he exercised his sadistic tendencies at  will. This was most demeaning. It halved us a couple. Father Gino sacrificed  my causes to his own and reduced me to a state of non-existence. He used my body as a receptacle for the other people illnesses so I exhibited their symptoms in his insane effort to qualify himself for sainthood. He needed to tally up miracles. He controlled my emotional and physical energies to such a point I was rendered helpless. I was unable to control my own bodily  functions, and forced to engage in a bizarre spiritual sexuality

Why does the Vatican continue to support the misdoings of this charlatan? Does it lay a claim to his supernatural  powert also hope to subjugate others by claiming supernatural powers. It seems  that the Vatican prefers false holy men who have the ability to brainwash people - as if vacant minded people could confirm the existence of God. What Father Gino does can be easily explained. He awakens his psychic powers and energizes his will power to the degree that his electromagnetic impulses can pass through any object - even from a long distance. Thus he can telepathically unbalance a person‚s chemical composition by way of its hormonal system, which operates on the unconscious level. Once a person‚s system is unbalanced, Father Gino can break the connection between brain neurons, erasing memories and displacing emotions. This enables him to get inside the victim brain and install his own commands: The thinking person loses all rational ability, at a great financial cost. He excites his followers sexually while intensifying their sense of guilt. Humiliation leads to a depression. Victims find themselves forever altered, defenseless to emotional and psychological manipulation.

Father Gino brutalizes innocent people in a claim to glorify God. He has stolen my life away for his own glory. He is driven to achieve sainthood at any cost. To convince people he is a miracle-maker, he continues to afflict my body. I went to see a doctor, but how does a doctor address a patient who feels the symptoms of a heart attack or excruciating stomach and lung pains when they cannot be verified by lab tests? He could only prescribe painkillers.

My life was sacrificed to sustain thievery, fraudulence, and duplicity to the maximum. Fathers Gino has tainted my existence. He has insulted everything that the Church is supposed to represent, acting with the authorization of the Vatican.

If the Church stands on its honesty, Father Gino should not be allowed to wear priestly vestments. Recent sex scandals already put the Church's authenticity into question.

The Vatican should prevent Father Gino from promoting his false mystique. An official expulsion would set an example to other fanatics who use the same method of mental manipulation. Those who aim to take over the world in God's name should not be sanctioned. It is inhumane to coerce adolescents to become suicide bombers. Manipulators who do this should be imprisoned - along with sexual predators and terrorists.  The public must condemn charismatic leaders who are prone to corrupting the  innocent.

Father Gino, to this day, still holds my life in his hands. The only escape from this degradation  would be to take my life in front of Saint Patrick's, with the note saying that I was killed by Father Gino, who is legitimized by the Vatican. In this I would alert the world to the Vatican‚s  insensitivity.

My last hope is that others are spared the torment that is mine. My tearful plea should be heard so that innocent the lives all around the world will be  protected.
