Before we release the next four articles in our Vatican exposé series, we want to take a moment to speak directly to you — our Juggernaut family.
At The Realist Juggernaut, we believe in God, in Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Spirit. That’s not just a tagline — it’s a foundation. Our faith plays a vital role in how we seek truth, speak boldly, and challenge systems that exploit belief for control.
That said, we want to make something very clear:
We hold no hatred or judgment toward any person of faith — Catholic or otherwise.
Our issue is not with individuals, but with institutions that have used spiritual authority to manipulate, silence, or dominate. The Vatican, as a governing power, is one such institution. These next four articles are the result of deep research, historical investigation, and our own editorial analysis. They reflect our findings and our opinions, not blind attacks or emotional outbursts.
We respect everyone’s right to make their own judgment — and we welcome readers to do their own research. The information is out there. We’ve simply done the work of pulling it together and exposing what many prefer to leave buried.
To clean up corruption, we must first expose it. That’s what we’re here to do — no matter who it unsettles.
This is not about tearing down faith.
This is about exposing systems that have used faith as a weapon.
Thank you for standing with us.
Truth matters — especially when it’s uncomfortable.
Stay sharp, stay grounded, and stay brave.
We don’t post. We foreshadow a reckoning.
— The Realist Juggernaut

Beautiful. Thank you!
You’re welcome, Sheila! 😎
I’m reading each one. I would reblog, but I’m sure I would get $!*+ from friends and family who a) went to a Catholic nursing school, b) remind me I have Catholic family, c) are Catholic themselves, or d) have Catholic friends. As that’s what happened before when I wrote about pedos and didn’t even name the Catholic church!! Ugh!
People are so brainwashed. And think it’s all about them.
This subject triggers me, (if you can’t tell, because I was ostracized before for speaking my mind on it). However, I’m all for the truth coming out. I also left organized religion decades ago.
I hear you, Sheila — and I truly respect you for even saying this out loud. You’re right — too many people make it about themselves instead of confronting the system that protected predators for decades. You’re definitely not alone — a lot of my family is Catholic too, so I know exactly where you’re coming from.
Fight the good fight, I went off organised religion years ago.
Thanks, Michael — you’re not alone. A lot of people, including myself, didn’t walk away from faith… they walked away from the institutions that twisted it. 😎
What’s worse, my favorite aunt (well, she was my favorite until this), judged me for what I wrote, and though I apologized and explained, she cut me off, unfriended me. She acted like I should have remembered she had went to a Catholic nursing school (though I was 6 or 7 years old when she stayed with us for a few months to go there)! Ugh! And she wasn’t Catholic, but one of her sisters was. She even said her mom (my grandmother) had always raised her to treat these scoundrels “if not for the grace of God, there go I.” But she didn’t afford ME that same grace! Ugh.
I wrote about it a while back on my blog. The whole thing taught me once again, not to put her or anyone else on a pedestal. Apparently, because here I am talking about it again, it still ircks me.
Thank you for listening, reading, holding space for me to do so.
p.s. I was married twice before and both were Catholic! Ha!
Wow, Sheila — that is deep. I’m so sorry you went through that, especially with someone you once looked up to. It’s hard enough to speak truth in public, but when it costs you family? That’s a whole different kind of pain.
You deserved grace — not judgment. And it’s heartbreaking when the very people who preach compassion can’t extend it to the ones closest to them. Especially when your intent wasn’t to attack — it was to be honest. To bring truth into the light.
The irony you pointed out says it all. She expected you to show grace to others, yet couldn’t offer it back to you. That’s not faith — that’s favoritism. And sadly, it’s why so many of us have stopped putting people on pedestals. Not out of bitterness, but because we’ve seen how often those heights are misused.
But please know this — your voice matters here. Your truth matters here. And you are not alone.
Thank you for trusting us enough to share it. We’re honored to hold that space with you.
I’ve gone through some of the similar things — especially with my father and his best friend, both caught up in a group. I’ll be dropping an article about that in a bit. It’s wild how far people will go in their beliefs… and how easily they’ll twist them to justify anything. But through it all, I held onto my faith — even when others walked away.
And honestly? That’s part of why atheism exists. Most people aren’t rejecting God — they’re rejecting the confusion, corruption, and hypocrisy that twisted religion created in His name.
And I don’t hold anything against atheism either — because God gave us free will. People are allowed to have their beliefs. And honestly, many atheists still believe in a higher power — which, in itself, is a form of belief. But that’s the whole point. Real faith can’t be forced. It has to be chosen.
Oh, thank you on ALL the levels about this, John. And now, reading your reply, I hear you and am enlightened by your perspective on atheism. Atheists have been the toughest nut for me to crack. I will hold your words close to my heart for the atheists I need to forgive, as well as giving mySelf grace when others don’t.
I have learned from Dr. Bruce Lipton that people hold tightly to their beliefs so much because they are Programmed/Conditioned (typically before age 7). And learning THAT has helped me to release a lot of my judgments. Many blessings! I am looking forward to your posts more and more, John!
Thank you very much, Sheila! That really means a lot. I’m honored my words could offer a shift in perspective, and you’re absolutely right about early programming — it runs deep. Dr. Bruce Lipton’s work is powerful, and understanding how conditioning shapes belief helps us approach others (and ourselves) with more compassion. Grace and forgiveness go hand in hand — and I’m grateful you shared this. I’m looking forward to sharing more with you as well. I’ll be dropping another major article soon. This one’s even more important. And if we’re 100% right… the years leading into 2100 aren’t going to be good. Thanks again, Sheila! Many blessings right back to you and your family. 😎
Right on, John. You have been enlightening us!
Oh, and to quite Dr. Bruce Lipton from his website: ““Give me a child for the first seven years, and I’ll give you the man.”
Francis Xavier (1506-1552), co-founder Jesuits
For over 400 years, the Jesuits have offered this popular adage to their community. While many people are aware of this saying, I believe that few are aware of its meaning. Basically, the Jesuits were aware of something that science has only recognized in the last few years. This saying expresses a simple fact; between the last trimester of pregnancy and its’ first seven years of life, a child’s brain is predominantly operating at a theta, a low vibration below that of consciousness.”
That’s a powerful quote, Sheila — and you’re absolutely right to bring it up. The Jesuits knew exactly what they were doing, long before neuroscience caught up. Programming a child in those first seven years isn’t just about learning behaviors — it’s about shaping identity, loyalty, fear, and belief. Theta brainwaves make children deeply impressionable, absorbing without filters.
So when religion — especially distorted religion — gets introduced at that stage, it doesn’t just teach what to think… it teaches how to process reality itself. And breaking free from that kind of wiring? That takes real awakening. What you shared from Dr. Bruce Lipton helps put all of it into context — thank you for bringing that to the surface. 😎
And this is why my daughter didn’t ‘program’ her children (our granddaughters).
