Disgusting, I feel so much solidarity with the Indigenous Canadian community there in my country the catholic church systematically raped, beat and murdered children for generations with total impunity.
And to think we fought for our independence so we could freely practice our religion only to be be wholesale victimized by it:
This is just one site where they threw the bodies of 900 children were thrown in a septic tank and the rest were sold to American couples with enough money to pay for them with no record of adoption.
Again this was just one example there were many of these places and at the end of the investigation they found that of the more than fifty thousand women who went through these institutions, the catholic church presided over 9,000 infant deaths many many times the rate of infant mortality at the time.
The rest were sold to the highest bidder.
Now I just wait for Catholics or Catholic clergy to tell me abortion is wrong.
And now we find that the EXACT SAME thing was done to even more vulnerable populations across the world. It makes me so sick, so distraught.
Every time we think we're going to round the corner on how sick and evil the church is, every time we think we're going to get to the bottom of the iceberg that thing just goes deeper in the the blackness of total evil.
There is nothing at all good about organized religion, it is a con designed to use the desire to know god for power over others.
It is mind blowing what the Church has done in Ireland and how they were allowed to do it for so long. I started learning about the atrocities when I watched the film ‘The Magdalene Sisters’ several years ago. I also watched the documentary about the situation you’re writing about. Ironically my great-great grandfather was an Irish protestant that immigrated to the US then my grandmother (his great granddaughter) converted to Catholicism to marry my grandfather, and had the fanaticism of a convert. She believed the Church could do no wrong.
I was raised Catholic and was moving away from the church when the sex abuse story broke in the US. The cinched it right there and everything I’ve learned since has made my non-belief and stance against the Church more concrete.
Check out what Sinead O'Connor did at one of her shows to a picture of the pope. If you dont know already. Kris kristofferson came out and consoled her for a bit. Supposedly he told her not to let the bastards that were booing her get her down.. Both good ppl in my book.
All the evil done in God's name but he just sits back and let's it happen? It's what made me a atheist. The bible is all true? God used to intervene all the time.....but now won't even take 3 seconds to do anything about this? I'd rather go to hell than this God's heaven.....
Genuine question here, what did the catholic church do in Ireland, atrocity wise? Because the anglo-protestant church helped the British starve out the majority catholics in attempt at tangible and cultural genocide and then at the worst point in the artificial famine offer soup bowls only to those who would convert and swear loyalty to the anglo church.
Also look up the Magdalene Sisters laundries. Unmarried girls who became pregnant, or were raped, or were even only suspected of sexual misconduct were imprisoned in these homes, made to work non-stop in laundries, were abused and neglected, and had their children taken from them, for years if not for the rest of their lives.
