Скачать или смотреть V: The Displaced Weight of Abuse

How does the weight of abuse get displaced onto those who least deserve it?


In Episode Five of Descent Into Light, “The Displaced Weight of Abuse,” we follow Sr. Theresa Aletheia as she navigates depression, loneliness, and the crushing burden of responsibility that often falls on survivors when others fail to act. After the first abuse case at the Vatican was decided in a way that she believed left others vulnerable, Sr. Theresa Aletheia prepares for her final vows in Italy. Carrying both grief and hope, she faces a decision she never expected to make.


This episode explores:


How depression and loneliness emerge as part of the grief process for survivors


The dynamics of mimetic desire and the scapegoat mechanism and how they’re related to abuse


How practices like memento mori and grounded faith can provide clarity, resilience, and courage in the face of spiritual betrayal
