Luis struggled with feelings of shame and fear that prevented him from disclosing the true nature of his injuries, fearing the stigma attached to his experience.
The community's reverence for Father Antonio made it difficult for Luis to reconcile his experiences with the priest with the image of a man 'gifted by God'.
Luis’s testimony highlighted the complexities of survivor experiences, where societal pressures, stigma, and personal shame can inhibit the willingness to seek help.
The intense nature of the priest's massages, often resulting in bruises, raises questions about the boundaries of pastoral care and the vulnerabilities of those seeking help.
