I was never taught by the priests in the Netflix story.

I was never taught by the priests in the Netflix story. Two of my teachers left seminary never to return again (which sent me a CLEAR message). One of my teachers, Father Martin, remained a priest until he died. I sat by his casket for at least a half an hour expecting him to wake up and say one last joke for me. All three taught me lessons about TRUE FAITH that I will always carry with me. They taught me about forgiveness and that I was first always to forgive myself. The idea that one of the characters so close to my circle of friends was the first to have the courage to speak up and that his information was not acted upon with due diligence made me whimper out loud. And to read this, below, I am not surprised. It goes to show that if you are able to escape abuse you are like a little lamb guided away from danger by nothing but the wind sometimes. It is never your fault if a wolf puts its teeth around your neck. "It is important to note that none of the accusations were brought to light before Magnus died. So, he went on to lead a normal life following the alleged abuse and there is relatively little information about him online. After leaving Keough, in August 1982, he became the principal of Towson Catholic High School before eventually passing away in 1988." https://www.bustle.com/p/what-happened-to-father-neil-magnus-the-keepers-priest-went-on-to-serve-at-another-school-58951
