The Hurt Is Real… The hurts of spiritual trauma and abuse are real. They didn’t start with your church, but they do exist there. Why? Because people sin. And at its basic level, spiritual abuse is just one kind of sin. There is nothing particularly complicated about it—spiritual trauma is the mental and emotional harm that comes from having damaging or abusive interactions with other Christians. Any tight-knit church fellowship, regardless of its denominational affiliation, will naturally supply the preconditions necessary for spiritual hurts to occur. But what if you could heal from ...

John Calvin saw a similar thing in his day, and it was at the root of his quarrel with Rome.
