It is quite a common practice for Copts to pay visits to priests to seek a prayer or two, or to confess their sins so that the priest, acting on behalf of god, as though god needed assistance, would erase the sins and absorb all malevolent and wicked doings. No one knows what these priests did or do to young children; but there is one tormenting true account of which he learned.
This incident took place long after he had forsaken his birthplace and left it forever. It took place much more recently. The presiding archbishop at the time called for her to pay him a visit to his residence, which was in the church. Evidently had done that before, as she, as well as many others, knew him on a somewhat personal level.
She innocently entered the not-so-holy archbishop's residence. A few words, and his holiness, or far from it, started to fondle her, touch her body in inappropriate places, and he freely expressed his unholy desire to have sexual intercourse with her. Frightened and confused, and in the meantime, she had respect for him because churchgoers believe that these not-so-sacred priests and archbishops are divine and represent Jesus on earth.
She was muddled, mystified, and confused. She moved away from him as swiftly as she could, but he chased her around the area where they were. Granted, she was a very beautiful and attractive young lady, but that should never be an excuse for molestation, sexual attacks, or abuse.
She finally managed to reach the door, and in utter confusion, humiliation, and perplexity, she exited the not-so-hallowed residence of the not-so-sanctified archbishop. She ran home and once there, she started sobbing and weeping for the violation she had just experienced. The violation was from a man of a god, which made the impact much harsher for the innocent young girl to absorb and restrain.
She lay on her bed, silent and spellbound; she gazed at the emptiness around her watching nothing, touching nothing, and feeling nothing. She was entranced.
