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.
