Summary: "Thirty Years in Hell" or "From Darkness to Light" by Bernard Fresenborg is a candid account written in the early 20th century. This memoir reflects the author's conversion from Catholicism to Protestantism after a long and disillusioning career as a Catholic priest. Fresenborg offers a searing critique of the Catholic Church, alleging a history of hypocrisy, immorality, and abuse within its ranks, and seeks to expose what he sees as the detrimental effects of Catholic teachings on both personal and societal levels. At the start of the memoir, Fresenborg introduces himself and outlines his life history, explaining how he became a Catholic priest due to his upbringing. He details his experiences within the Catholic Church, revealing the profound doubts and moral conflicts he faced, particularly regarding the behavior of church leaders. He shares shocking anecdotes from his time as a priest, including tales of scandal and depravity that ultimately led to his rejection of Catholicism in favor of Protestant beliefs. The opening thus sets the stage for a broader exploration of what the author perceives as the ills of the Catholic Church, presenting his journey toward spiritual liberation and intellectual freedom.
