It’s Iimi! Vile Evil (Part I)

[Recovery Notes: This comic was originally published as three separate issues. Apparently, I combined them after they were uploaded. So, they're combined here.]

Iimi discussed the McCarrick Report with Ms. Baculum. Sometimes, hurt and pain are found in unexpected places. This is part one of a series. In this chapter, Iimi discusses the things we need to keep in mind when assessing the report.

As a special note, nothing in this comic should be seen as blaming the victims or giving the Church a whitewash. It only examines the McCarrick Report (not other cases) to determine who knew what and when.

(Annoyingly, I confused “Millenial” with Generation Z.)

It’s Iimi! Vile Evil (Part II)

What if you thought you had everything figured out and then you discovered your assumptions were wrong? Iimi-tan and Ms. Baculum both discover that some things aren’t as you thought and other things don’t have to be as you thought.

It’s Iimi! Vile Evil (Part III)

One of the problems with using a teenage protagonist for the It’s Iimi! Comics is that she is obviously too young to have lived through the turbulent events prior to the mid-decade of the 2000s. So, to have someone who was there, Iimi’s mother enters the discussion on how Catholics reacted in the past. This isn’t done to deny the pain or justify the suspicion against the claims. But it is important to understand why so many of us went down that path in the 90s and early 00s so we can avoid 

Another part of this comic aims to show that those who were hurt by people in the Church are not cardboard villains who hate the Church without cause. Even when we defend the Church from false claims, we can’t downplay the very real suffering that victims went through or condemn them if their pain is keeping them away.
