Father Albert had been grappling with theft and vandalism in the church. Determined to catch the thief, he decided to install a secret camera in the church. The footage revealed something shocking.

Father Albert sat in the front pew of St. Andrew’s Parish as they were concluding a fundraising event. He wanted to expand the parish and construct a few new buildings on the church grounds. After the mass, he and the other trusted members counted the donations, which totaled thousands of dollars. Father Albert placed the money in a bag and took it to the vestry, a secure building that housed all the church’s sacred items. He locked the money inside the vestry, confident it was safe since he was the only one with the keys…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

The next morning, Father Albert planned to contact the church contractors and begin the projects. When he went to the vestry to retrieve the cash, he was shocked to find the lock had been tampered with. Stunned, he stood there, hoping his greatest fear hadn’t come true. He pushed the door open, and to his dismay, he discovered the bag of money was gone.

Albert broke down in tears, wondering who could have done such a thing. The church environment was secure, and there seemed no way for a thief to access the vestry. The theft raised many questions but provided no answers. Determined to prevent a recurrence, he doubled the security and changed the vestry lock. He also advised everyone in the parish to be vigilant and watchful.

The following Sunday, after the service and offerings were collected, Father Albert took the bag of money to a sanctuary, a secluded building used as a prayer room. He locked the money in a secret chamber, confident it was safe, and made a mental note to take it to the bank on Monday morning. The next day, as he dressed and headed to the sanctuary, he was dismayed to find that the locks had been picked again.

“Oh my God, what is happening?” he screamed as he pushed the door open. The entire room had been ransacked. Father Albert checked the chamber, but there was no sign of the money. The thief had struck again, leaving him in deep pain. Grieving, Father Albert stepped out of the sanctuary and walked into the church, contemplating how to best handle the situation.

Father Francis, his assistant, met Albert in the church. They discussed the issue, and Francis promised to be extra vigilant, assuring Albert that the thief would be caught soon. Francis, a priest who had been transferred to the parish four months ago, had earned Albert’s trust. Francis suggested that Albert keep the money in his own room for added security. It was a good idea, and Albert decided to act on it.

A week later, the church embarked on a philanthropic mission, donating a significant sum of money to support the parish orphanage. Albert gathered all the money and took it to his room, confident that the thief wouldn’t break in there. A few hours after midnight, an emergency arose at the church when a woman brought her sick son for prayers. Albert’s attention was needed, so he put on his robe, locked his door securely, and went to the church.

He spent hours praying for the boy until dawn. He went back to his room and unlocked the door, his eyes widening in shock. It was clear someone had been inside. His heart pounded as he headed to the shelf where he had placed the money, but to his utter shock, the money was gone. He couldn’t understand how it had happened. His room had a secure door and a burglar-proof lock. There were no signs of forced entry, and no one else had a copy of his keys.

“Oh God, what’s happening in my parish? Lord Jesus, what do I do now? Where do I start from?” he exclaimed. That evening, during mass, he broke the news to the parish members, and everyone was saddened. Father Albert suspected the theft was the work of an insider. An outsider wouldn’t have been able to find his room and unlock the door. It was a painful realization he didn’t want to accept. He trusted every single priest and nun, believing none of them could steal from the church.

Amidst the robbery scandal, a controversial rumor was spreading in the church. It was a sensitive issue that Albert hadn’t paid much attention to because of the thefts. The church and the entire community suspected an illicit affair between Father Francis and the nun named Rebecca. Rebecca, a faithful sister who served in the children’s department, was a beloved nurse and caregiver who had been in the parish for over six years. During that time, she had never exhibited any questionable behavior until Francis was transferred a few months ago. Since Francis’s arrival, he and Rebecca had grown very close.

They prayed together, did domestic chores together, and spent a lot of time with each other. Parishioners began to wonder about their relationship as they often sat together in the church garden, studying the scriptures and laughing heartily. Although Albert had noticed their closeness, he wasn’t concerned about it. His primary focus was on the thefts, an unprecedented issue for the parish.

Father Albert was well known for being zealous for the things of the church. He had initially been transferred to St. Andrew’s Parish as a junior priest. A year into his tenure, he had been promoted to senior priest and had been serving for a total of eleven years. Although his primary duty was to uncover the culprits behind the recent thefts, he knew he needed to address this issue swiftly to prevent it from escalating into a full-blown scandal. Father Francis and Sister Rebecca were questioned by the church council regarding the rumors about them.

Francis insisted that their relationship was purely platonic. Rebecca had merely helped him settle into his role at St. Andrew’s Parish since his arrival a few months ago. He explained that she assisted him with various tasks and helped him navigate issues unfamiliar to him. Additionally, Rebecca ran errands for him and showed him around town, all out of goodwill and innocence. The church trusted Father Francis, who was a well-respected servant of God with a history of good deeds in his former parish. After questioning, he and Rebecca were dismissed. Father Albert then addressed the congregation, cautioning them about the dangers of spreading false scandals. He reminded them that slander was contrary to their faith and urged them to refrain from it.

A few days later, a nun saw Rebecca sneaking into Father Francis’s room. This incident was reported to the council, and both were summoned again. Father Francis maintained that there was nothing inappropriate between himself and Rebecca, emphasizing his respect for the sanctity of the priesthood and his commitment to his vows. Rebecca, however, could not provide a satisfactory explanation for her actions. Consequently, the council ordered her to avoid any further contact with Father Francis. The previous scandal had finally been forgotten when another shocking incident occurred.

The cathedral in Rome sent vestments, medals, and relics to St. Andrew’s Parish to foster a sense of unity. The vessels arrived at night, known only to the nuns, mass servants, and priests. They were locked up in the sanctuary as they were meant to be officially blessed before being used. Two days later, Albert decided to check on the items in the sanctuary. To his shock, he found the locks had been picked. He opened the door and, to his horror, stared into the empty room.

The communion vessels were gone, carted away without any trace. Albert was now convinced that the thief was among the parishioners. Heartbroken, he struggled to accept that those he trusted were responsible for stealing from the church, an abomination to the holy order of the parish. The church was now but a shadow of its former self, and he feared the news reaching the cathedral in Rome, potentially leading to sanctions. Knowing he needed to act quickly before the situation worsened, Albert was aware that without intervention, the thief might strike again.

Albert had an idea and wanted to discuss it with the church council, but he hesitated. He realized that any information reaching the council might also reach the thief, who could be among its members. Instead, he took matters into his own hands. He purchased a CCTV camera and hired a technician from outside town to install it discreetly, making sure no one else knew about the camera. He was confident that this time the thief would be caught.

With a major event scheduled for the next week, Albert anticipated that the thief would strike again during the event. Donations were collected as usual. After the program, Father Albert took the money to the sanctuary, placed it inside, and locked it up. Afterward, he returned to his room, hopeful that the thief would strike again. All night, he stayed awake, staring at his computer screen, waiting for the intruder to appear. As the hours passed, the stress of the day caught up with him, and he began to feel fatigued. Despite his efforts to stay awake, he couldn’t fight nature. Eventually, he lay back on the bed and dozed off.

A few minutes after midnight, Albert was startled awake by a noise. Groaning, he realized it was just a bird perched on his window. Though he wanted to go back to sleep, the thought of the camera kept him alert. He moved to his computer and watched the live footage. A few minutes after he began watching, he saw a shadow lurking around the sanctuary. His heart skipped a beat as he watched carefully. The thief crept toward the door, wearing a mask and carrying a bag. The thief set the bag down, pulled out some tools, and began picking the locks.

After a few minutes, he pushed the door open and stepped inside. Removing his mask, he switched on his flashlight. He clearly had no idea a camera was watching him. For a moment, Albert’s heart seemed to stop. He placed his hand on his head in dismay as he recognized the criminal. It was Francis, a man he had trusted and served with in the church. He couldn’t believe Francis was capable of

such an act. As Francis started to arrange the bundles of cash into his bag, everything began to make sense to Albert. The thefts were indeed the work of an insider. Just as he decided to call security, he saw someone else creep into the room. It was Sister Rebecca.

Father Albert slammed his fist into the table, realizing the rumors were true. He was devastated that people he trusted could betray him, showing no respect for the sanctity of the order. It seemed like they were not only having an affair but also stealing from the church. As Albert stood up, he saw something shocking. Rebecca pulled out a bat from her bag and tried to fling it at Francis, but he was faster. Dodging the blow, he quickly disarmed her.

As he swung a punch, Rebecca swiftly ducked and threw herself at him. Francis dragged her back and landed a few punches. He seized the bat and prepared to swing, but she ducked again. Rebecca’s basic martial arts training from high school helped her evade most of Francis’s deadly attacks. Still, Francis knew he had to succeed to escape with the money, so he did something very shocking to the nun. Just then, his eyes caught a small crucifix on the wall, and he immediately reached for it. Using all his strength, he hit Rebecca with it and immediately fled the scene.

Father Albert was shocked as he watched the fight between the priest and the nun. He quickly pulled out his phone and dialed security, then ran to the sanctuary to help Rebecca. By the time he arrived, Francis was nowhere to be found, and Rebecca was lying unconscious on the ground. Albert immediately called for an ambulance. A few minutes later, the ambulance and the security arrived. The entire church was placed on lockdown while Rebecca was rushed to the hospital.

Afterward, Albert led the security team to Francis’s room. Francis, unaware that he had been discovered, was briskly placing his clothes and everything he had stolen into a big bag. He planned to escape through a secret entrance without anyone knowing. When he heard knocks on his door, he quickly pretended to be asleep, hoping whoever was at the door would leave. However, the knock only grew louder. Quickly, he hid the bag under his bed before getting to the door. He was shocked when he saw Albert and the security guards at the door.

“What do you want from me?” he stammered.

“Arrest this thief!” Father Albert thundered before ordering the security team to search his room. Francis tried to escape but was restrained. The security team found bags of money hidden under the bed. Albert stared at him in shock, unable to comprehend that Francis would steal and even hurt a nun. A few moments later, the police arrived and took Francis into custody. The news spread like wildfire, leaving everyone disappointed and feeling betrayed. Some even began to lose faith in the sanctity of the priesthood. Albert was still in shock over the entire incident. The police launched a thorough investigation into Father Francis, and what they discovered was very shocking.

Father Francis was an impersonator. The real Father Francis, who served at St. Louis Cathedral and was to be transferred to St. Andrew, had been waylaid by robbers and shot to death. The imposter’s real name was Bernard, a fugitive who had escaped from prison. He was wanted for murder, drug trafficking, and other crimes, and had been on the run for over a year. While evading the police, Bernard joined another gang and lived a rough life, committing all sorts of crimes.

They made money off people’s sweat and tears and spent recklessly. Bernard enjoyed this phase, but he knew the police would find him soon. He needed money and resources to leave the country but lacked both. It was during this period that the gang ambushed Father Francis on his way to St. Andrew’s Cathedral. Bernard noticed the priest had similar features to his own that could fool people who had never met him, so he decided to steal his identity and pose as him.

Born into a Catholic family, Bernard had some knowledge about Catholicism and priesthood, making it relatively easy for him to impersonate one. After taking Father Francis’s life, he threw the body out of the car, wore the priest’s robe from the back seat, and drove to St. Andrew. Upon his arrival, he was welcomed as Father Francis.

Bernard had no idea that someone at the parish would recognize—or rather, not recognize—Father Francis, and that was none other than Rebecca. After a few days, Rebecca was discharged from the hospital. Father Albert and a few police officers visited her, and they were stunned by her reports. Rebecca had served at St. Louis Cathedral six years ago, where the real Father Francis had been her mentor and friend.

She was pleased to hear he would be transferred to St. Andrew’s, but to her utmost disappointment, the man who arrived claimed to be Father Francis yet clearly was not. Initially, Rebecca attributed the differences in his facial expressions and appearance to aging. However, when he failed to recall any memories of their time together in St. Louis, she became suspicious. This inconsistency piqued her curiosity, leading her to suspect something was amiss.

“Everything about him was strange, and I felt compelled to investigate,” Rebecca explained her suspicions. Her growing closeness to him was part of her scrutiny. She discovered that he was unfamiliar with many priestly tenets, which was highly unusual for someone in his supposed position. Several times, she asked him questions about the cathedral doctrines, and his lack of knowledge confirmed her doubts. At that point, she realized he was not a real priest.

Rebecca had twice caught him roaming the premises late at night. After the first theft occurred, she suspected him but lacked proof. Hesitant to make false allegations against the priest, she decided to take a more direct approach by stealing his keys to sneak into his room. Unfortunately, she was caught by a nun during the attempt. Had she succeeded, she might have uncovered his identity as a thief. By then, Father Francis had grown suspicious of the nun and her tendency to show up unannounced during the day.

He decided it was time to steal from the church one last time before disappearing, but he had no idea a camera would be watching him. The fateful night when the truth came out, Rebecca had caught him creeping toward the sanctuary. Initially, she had thought he was a stranger, but upon closer inspection and recognizing his face, she realized it was him. She immediately went into her room and picked up her bat, which she used to confront him. That had led to the nasty fight that landed her in the hospital.

Everything now made sense to Albert and the police. Albert apologized for not conducting a proper background check on Bernard and commended Rebecca for her courage and determination. He saluted her bravery and expressed his gratitude. The police discovered the body of the real Father Francis in an alley, leading the church to hold a funeral in his honor.

Bernard was subsequently tried in court and sentenced to life imprisonment. All the stolen money was recovered by the police and returned to the church, allowing all halted projects to resume. The church experienced no further thefts. However, Albert was left with a sense of guilt over his initial carelessness, which had nearly cost the church its reputation. He resolved to be more diligent in verifying the backgrounds of anyone transferred to his church in the future.

Guy Fawkes’ punishment was one of the most severe in English history – here’s what happens when a body is hung, drawn and quartered

After their infamous plot to destroy parliament was foiled, Guy Fawkes and his co-conspirators received one of the most severe judicial sentences in English history: hanging, drawing and quartering. According to the Treason Act 1351 , this punishment involved…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

That you be drawn on a hurdle to the place of execution, where you shall be hanged by the neck and being alive cut down, your privy members shall be cut off and your bowels taken out and burned before you, your head severed from your body and your body divided into four quarters to be disposed of at the King’s pleasure.

This process aimed not only to inflict excruciating pain on the condemned, but to serve as a deterrent – demonstrating the fate of those who betrayed the Crown. While Fawkes reportedly jumped from the gallows – which meant he avoided the full extent of his punishment – his co-conspirators apparently weren’t so lucky.

By dissecting each stage of this medieval punishment from an anatomical perspective, we can understand the profound agony each of them endured.

Torture for confession

Before his public execution on January 31 1606, Fawkes was tortured to force a confession about his involvement in the “gunpowder plot”.

The Tower of London records confirm that King James I personally authorised “the gentler tortures first”. Accounts reveal that Fawkes was stretched on the rack – a device designed to slowly pull the limbs in opposite directions. This stretching inflicted severe trauma on the shoulders, elbows and hips, as well as the spine.

The forces exerted by the rack probably exceeded those required for joint or hip dislocation under normal conditions.

Substantive differences between Fawkes’ signatures on confessions between November 8 and shortly before his execution may indicate the amount of nerve and soft tissue damage sustained. It also illustrates how remarkable his final leap from the gallows was.

Stage 1: hanging (partial strangulation)

After surviving the torture of the rack, Fawkes and his gang faced the next stage of their punishment: hanging. But this form of hanging only partially strangled the condemned – preserving their consciousness and prolonging their suffering.

Partial strangulation exerts extreme pressure on several critical neck structures. The hyoid bone , a small u-shaped structure above the larynx, is prone to bruising or fracture under compression .

Simultaneously, pressure on the carotid arteries restricts blood flow to the brain, while compression of the jugular veins causes pooling of blood in the head – probably resulting in visible haemorrhages in the eyes and face.

Because the larynx and trachea (both essential for airflow) are partially obstructed, this makes breathing laboured. Strain on the cervical spine and surrounding muscles in the neck can lead to tearing, muscle spasms or dislocation of the vertebra – causing severe pain.

Fawkes brought his agony to a premature end by leaping from the gallows. Accounts from the time tell us:

His body being weak with the torture and sickness, he was scarce able to go up the ladder – yet with much ado, by the help of the hangman, went high enough to break his neck by the fall.

This probably caused him to suffer a bilateral fracture of his second cervical vertebra, assisted by his own bodyweight – an injury known as the “hangman’s fracture” .

Stage 2: Drawing (disembowelment)

After enduring partial hanging, the victim would then be “drawn” – a process which involved disembowelling them while still alive. This act mainly targeted the organs of the abdominal cavity – including the intestines, liver and kidney, as well as major blood vessels such as the abdominal aorta.

The physiological response to disembowelment would have been immediate and severe. The abdominal cavity possesses a high concentration of pain receptors – particularly around the membranous lining of the abdomen . When punctured, these pain receptors would have sent intense pain signals to the brain, overwhelming the body’s capacity for pain management . Shock would soon follow due to the rapid drop in blood pressure caused by massive amounts of blood loss.

Stage 3: quartering (dismemberment)

Quartering was also supposed to be performed while the victim was still alive. Though no accounts exist detailing at what phase victims typically lost consciousness during execution, it’s highly unlikely many survived the shock of being drawn.

So, at this stage, publicity superseded punishment given the victim’s likely earlier demise. Limbs that were removed from criminals were preserved by boiling them with spices. These were then toured around the country to act as a deterrent for others.

Though accounts suggest Fawkes’s body parts were sent to “the four corners of the United Kingdom”, there is no specific record of what was sent where. However, his head was displayed in London .

Traitor’s punishment

The punishment of hanging, drawing and quartering was designed to be as anatomically devastating as it was psychologically terrifying. Each stage of the process exploited the vulnerabilities of the human body to create maximum pain and suffering, while also serving as a grim reminder of the consequences of treason.

This punishment also gives us an insight into how medieval justice systems used the body as a canvas for social and political messaging. Fawkes’s fate, though unimaginable today, exemplifies the extremes to which the state could, and would, go to maintain control, power and authority over its subjects.

The sentence of hanging, drawing and quartering was officially removed from English law as part of the Forfeiture Act of 1870 .
