Topic: Ritual Rape

Dr. Hillman presents the thesis from his book "Original Sin," arguing that child abuse is an integral, foundational component of the Catholic Church rather than a modern accident. He describes early Christian exorcism as a "possession tech" derived from older pagan rituals, where ritual sodomy was used to assert political dominance over competing religions. This process was framed as a way for a child to "rebuke" sin and save their soul through trauma.
