Stealing Lives

Systemic Child Abuse and the Smokescreens of Organised Vatican Criminality

A Survivors and Whistleblowers’ Perspective and its Lessons by

Countess Sigrid von Galen and Rafael Viola

In this powerful book Rafael Viola shares his story of surviving five Catholic institutions, all of which subjected him to terror, torture, abuse, and other organised criminality.

Along with Countess Sigrid von Galen, being targeted by the Vatican as secret granddaughter of the Lion of Münster, Cardinal Clemens August Graf von Galen, and as a trailblazing whistleblower on the systemic child abuse and wider organised Vatican criminality they connect historical and interdisciplinary dots on the worldmap to reveal the big picture and ongoing cover ups behind the Vatican’s smokescreens.

This book stands for the experiences of many survivors and whistleblowers and encourages readers to share their own stories but also serves as a tool and reference book for those who want to catch up on facts, international investigations, and analysis. It includes a chapter of satire featuring the fictitious Star Chamber trial of the Popes, led by Mary Magdalene as the Prosecutor against the Churches. If you want to learn about the truth behind the Vatican's actions this book is a must-read.

“A difficult, but MUST read”

Unbelievable TRUE accounts, representing a few legendary survivors, (hopefully many more, will now have the courage to come forward, after reading this).... It is a hard, emotional book to read, in my opinion- necessary for people to be aware... so tides, of CHANGE, can come.... Well done & Thanks Authors, for sharing this, for the world to see.... Hopefully WORLDWIDE CHANGE, legislations will NOW come.... and others know there NOT alone....

Review for Stealing Lives

“In-depth Analysis”

Stealing Lives'/'Der Raub des Lebens' is a must for all, who are researching or seeking literature about systemic child abuse and sexual violence in the Roman Catholic Church and/or with the history of religious and state supported abuse in residential schools and educational facilities.
This book is highly recommended for experts and a broader readership new to the subject alike due to its multi-layered but easy to read comprehensiveness and thoughtful and all-encompassing Multi-Genre structure.
It offers unique in-depth analysis, facts, connects dots internationally and historically on many topics.
Rafael Viola shares his painful odyssey through various British residential schools and institutions that were infamous for their notoriety and run by the Catholuc Church.
He describes how his fellow survivors and him had to relive the abuse and how they were retraumatised by the broken promises of church and government to bring justice and closure to them in due process.
He tells how he was continuously and repeatedly experiencing as an adult the crimes that were committed in his childhood towards the little boy.
Countess Sigrid von Galen weaves in her own experiences as a fellow whistleblower and survivor of the organised criminality of the Catholic Church and that of the allies of the church leaders.
Both authors are living proof and are leading by example in their quest for justice by showing the meaning of resilience, love for humanity, humour and how important the nurturing of all that is good and decent in life is for a victory in this war raged by this despotic enemy.

Review for Stealing Lives

“Well written”

Horrendous story of disgusting child abuse both physical and sexual in Catholic children's homes throughout the country. Well written and perfectly describes the appalling childhood Rafael endured within these establishments.

“Life-improving”

Thanks so much Countess Sigrid! My life has improved 100 percent since connecting with you and these truths. I no longer am alone with my findings. Now I see much of my pain and suffering was to show me for myself these things are true and then connect with others who say the same. (I don't just read things and agree, I agree because I experienced them).

Review for Stealing Lives

“A healing read”

I read your book daily. I just open to any page and I am healed by a few words like "rigged operations" (happened to me since I was born) everything you say about retaliation happened to me. I am healed more from your book than from the bible scriptures that are often double talk (one page says something is good the next page it's not in the bible). I know everything you say is true. I believe we have the living real god holy spirit working through us telling our truth because it is THE truth. I am having a spiritual awakening from the truth from you and Rafael. Am so thankful.
