  • Is there something christian about the Vatican ? Then tell me the newz.

  • she right...

  • Brave Sinead

  • What a real woman..a fighting woman...

  • Magnificent action by a true warrior.

  • She had/has the guts. Respect my lady. I'm a Belgian. Here, even a bishop molested some children. The church kept quiet. knowing all this shit and doing nothing. So again, Sinead, deep respect for you.

  • She is the Devil.

  • @democratos89 certainly...to bring attention to the world about the abuse of christian brothers and magdalen laundries.... give me a break!

  • @democratos89 Why is she the devil???

  • @democratos89 For standing against violence twoward children? I'm Catholic and I used to love John Paul II. Until I became informed about his judeo-masonic, evil NWO agenda. Not only he allowed constant child rape among his clergy but did everything to abolish the real Mass. Imagine how would you feel if it was your child molested and raped by a priest whom the local bishop and the main bishop of Rome would do absolutely nothing to discipline. Who would be evil then in your eyes?

  • One person in Hollywood who doesn't agree with child rape.....

  • @DakotaY12 I agree w/you. Pope John Paul had very little to do w/this scandal. Why people are blaming him for this garbage is beyond me. In Scouting most of the adults are damn good people. I'm an adult leader & I know right from wrong. I know that it's totally against Scouting policies & practices to even put my arm around a young Scout let alone molest them. I'm also Catholic & was an altar boy. Not once was I ever molested by a priest. I'm tired of these Catholicism/Pope bashing assholes.

  • @bucky468 President Bush went as far to give the Pope immunity from covering up the crimes. While he may never been a pedder he protected them for sake of image instead of worrying about the safety of children.

  • @bigsteve032291 Come on give PJP II a break. Let him R.I.P. Even Nancy Pelosi an ultraliberal Democrat said he should be left alone & be respected. She usually sides w/the victims of priest molestation. Just let this shit die & stop trolling about PJP II who was a much better pope compared to Benedict II who I still have quite a bit of faith in unlike those who've bashed Catholicism from the very outset. Erase the flippin hate. This ain't gonna get you Catholicism opponents anywhere.

  • Tell em girl.

  • @DakotaY12. In facty, the sexual abuse had been going on for at least decades. The Church hierarchy certainly knew all about it -- Sinead certainly did (she sang about it at the show).

    Just because the mass media had not yet covered it does not mean the abuse scandal "was in its early stages". If you are going to rely upon mass media to inform, you are in deep trouble

  • @DakotaY12 Come on. The Church from the top was helping hide what was going on. John Paul was absolutely complicit. I stand in awe of the courage of people like Sinead O

  • I remember this well.. I was shocked but looking back I would have stood up and cheered for her. The "catholic church" is the most corrupt organinzation in the world.

  • @richstpete You are apparently unfamiliar with the Jewish Lobby

  • i'm from Italy, and I really love Sinead. I spent my life in studying the history of the church and I hate it as much as I love christianity. Everybody knew she was right ever since that day. The former inquisition boss leading catholicism right now was the one who deliberatly, and in perfect knowledge, ordered to keep the abuse hidden. These are not opinions, as time showed. These people have nothing to do with Jesus, the anarchist who payed taxes and hated priests.

  • @DakotaY12 Right on! I loved the pope dearly..

  • @DakotaY12 Totally agree. She knew that if she tore up the picture of John Paul the 2nd she would get alot more attention from the media. Very bad decision I think..

  • I wish I could have done that. I'm ain't against religious ppl, But I spit on ppl make themselves "GOD" right arm. They have no rights to speak for something(one) that doesn't speak. I'm aint religious but I say fuck to this vatican shits.

  • Love you and all you stand for Sinead, keep fighting the war against repression and abuse !!!!!!!!!!

  • Who would stand up so bravely as she has,, all the suppressions, all the " it's not nice, let's not talk about it" Shout it out !! it has been done, it is now being done!! A women never to be quietened. Who else will take her place as strong as she has been.

  • sinead o'connor is a brave women.. i love the fact that she stood up for herself and made her voice be heard.. and even tho some ppl hate her for that i will always be on her side.. love you Sinead!!

  • Comment removed

  • I Knew Sinead Was Right From The Start!!! I Was Brought Up Catholic & STILL Cheered Her On!!! You RULE Sinead!!!

  • I Knew Sinead Was Right From The Start!!! I Was Brought Up Catholic & STILL Cheered Her On!!! You RULE Sinead!!!

  • sexy and Asian women Meet **lushfmlk.info**

  • I'd love to see her win the Nobel Peace prize.

  • wait, everyone knew about it, but didn't investigate or wonder if it was true?

    why would anyone lie about sth like that!

  • GO SINEAD.

  • That's right Sinead!! RIP THAT PICTURE UP!! FUCK THE POPE!!

  • it seems that certain people hate hearing the truth when it hurts and they dislike anybody who stands up against them and their wrongs, anyone who will bring those wrongs to the surface. they will work so hard against that person to keep everything quiet instead of just making their wrongs right..... that is sadly unfortunet

  • Comment removed

  • i give sinead credit for making this statement and i agree with her because this horrible, sick abuse has been going on for decades and it all kept getting swept under the rug. sinead brought it to surface and into the publics eye. she was misjudged instantly because all people wanted to see was her tearing up the picture of the pope, they never bothered to ask why? we see cases like this now all the time on the news. funny how sinead tryed to tell the world back in 1992 and nobody would listen

  • @pclar28 ...that's right, I didn't really get it at the time either but I always thought there may have been something to her protest.

    Now it's 20 years later and we all know about coverups and how the establishment works to protect itself and how the sheeple (who are usually the victims) always play along.

    I'm going through a lawsuit in my own life where I was wronged and I watch all the self-centered, cowardly people involved protect a wicked person of authority.

    It's disgusting.

  • Every person should define their own religion. The organised church is somthing for medival times.

  • Have always loved sinaed - yes she knows

  • NUKE THE VATICAN

  • puta..... vaca de merdaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­a

  • @brooneybraddell te gustaria que papa o los pardessitos se cojieran a tu hijo en el culo . veda que no pendejo . deso se trataba idiota. hoy en dia escuchas esa mierda . no mames.

  • Finally it is coming out what she was saying . You can hide shit for long time . Than it start to smell so strongly :) She is a real warrior , she showed no fear at all . Amazing women awesome voice .

  • Good for her. She spoke up for those who didn't have the public's ear. She risked her own popularity for a good cause. She did a really cool thing. :)

  • What a FUCKING WOMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • pls all can any one send me or write the lyrics

  • I remember this. Looking back, I thought she was just being a rebellious punk. I wasn't really into her music, and the whole bald thing was a bit of a turn off. I thought here's another pop singer doing a stunt... like Maddonna. There was no publicity of child abuse at the time, so it landed on death ears without any context. My feeling now is that for her to self-destruct her image probably served no purpose to advance the cause. She could have chosen a more effective way of activism.

  • @Mactekus i think it's about people being less informed and ignorant back then. (stupid in other words) now with the communication devices we have we can get to the bottom of thing faster and more clearly. you have to remember that human are fucking idiots! world to your mother!

  • Brave Sinead! Love you.

  • should be jailed and cast down with the sodomites, just another CULT!

  • shame on vatikan. devils priests

  • you are right .there are manny children bieng abbuse from the priests. yarn tomb

  • This time we want to listen - join the Facebook group Apologise to Sinead O'Connor Now - juat search for Sinead O'Connor on FB and you will find us and a link to our website. WE should not leave her alone again.

  • Sinead was RIGHT!!!, and all the hypocritesand people in denial about the pedophilia in the Catholic church can go to hell

  • I just worked out the whole history of sinead's 'scandal'

    What a soldier of truth. What an amazing, powerful, brave human being to stand against this PURE EVIL . To turn on her and make the world turn on her in my eyes is EVIL also but that's my anonymous opinion. It takes a soldier like sinead to say it out loud......

  • you probably didnt believe her until this whole scandal came about.of course you will criticise the church now that everyone else is.what happened was atrocious and it is a shame the pope covered it up but you cannot tar all the priests in ireland with the same brush

  • she is right,

    leave the rc evil!!!

    the real keltic man~

  • Comment removed

  • "Fight the real enemy!"

  • people who said mean things about Sinead should pay atention now and say A REAL APOLOGY to what they did to this talented sweetheart...its time for those people who hit her...who hurt her emotionally to say SORRY join the facebook now....

  • she's the best!!! its been two decades..but still i love her...i grew up listening to her songs...i grew up looking at her lovely face...and i still love her with INEAD RULES!!!!!

  • The anti-pope thing is great but the notion that one race is not better than another is stupid. It is pretty clear which ones build and which destroy.

  • Sinead is my hero,

  • The Roman Catholic Church is not the real church of Christ! The real Church is the body of believers who worship and serve God in absolute truth. Upholding the word of God "The Holy Bible" not adding to it or taking anything out of it. The mission of the true Church is to spread the Gospal of Jesus Christ. Jesus himself is the high priest, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Shame on anyone who does evil in the name of God!

  • "The Holy Bible" is as phony as the Catholic church. Do you know the true history of "The Holy Bible". Have you ever studied the contradictions in "The Holy Bible"? Read "The Holy Bible" historically and with an open mind and not devotionally and you might understand what I mean. Read "The Gospels side by side and not one after another and you'll see how "The Holy Bible" is not the word of God but the words that man oppressively wants you to follow.

  • Time to say sorry - join the Facebook group

  • Sinead is awesome. She told nothing buth the truth about those CRIMINALS in the vatican. Fu*** the church!

  • She took the hit and is vindicated. I was shocked that night that any public, rising person in their right mind would do it. I was always suspicious, and curse the truth that it was true. I am still stunned after all this time. Now it has gotten bigger. Sinead how deep is the rabbit hole. Will the true god please bless her, she deserves it.

  • @karolStwa -the information is out there. It's easy to find. Go look for it. You make yourself look silly when you ask for a connection that is in the news almost daily. Read a bit.

  • @karolStwa The connection is the pope at the time this was going on instead of getting rid of the priest the pope hid them to quiet the crime they did thats the connection!

  • Great courage and conviction from Sinead..... and nearly twenty years later the Vatican FINALLY admit and apologise; but it is much too little and WAY too late.

    My heart goes out to all who have suffered. May they rise with strength and dignity.....

  • Sinead is a good person who is honest and stands up against injustice! Go Sinead I am with you!

  • Communist confession "In the 1930's, we put eleven hundred men into the priesthood in order to destroy the Church from within. The idea was for these men to be ordained, and then climb the ladder of influence and authority as Monsignors and Bishops

  • Sinead is not even Catholic- She doesnt know the third secret of Fatima was hidden because it involved "APOSTACY" that will begin at the TOP in "1960".

  • and u dont know how to spell it. APOSTASY. Look it up and read on it. Ignorance is the true evil

  • @helenw100 it might be time, helen, to speak to a psychiatric professional.

  • muslim or christian,mullah or pope,give anyone species too much rope and they'll FUCK IT UP.religion sucks

  • It's too bad that speaking the truth before its time earned her such disdain from the public. She is completely vindicated now, with the widespread acknowledgement of the abuse concealed by the church. She took a HUGE chance to protect people, and people crapped on her in response, because it was more convenient to do so than to question a very morally ambiguous authority. Shame on us!! ;) Go Sinead.

  • Good for her speaking out then and now. Who can keep track of all these pedophile priests? ...and these are the ones that we know about. How many more cases are these sick old bastards covering up? They are the ones who should be burnt at the stake.

  • I am againts child abuse...so I say hell fucking yes Sinead!!!

  • hehehe ppl in poland were so upset with her then. how could you have torn a pic of a polock to pieces? good for her. it takes a brave person to do what she did. good for you irish lass.

  • FUCK YEAH!! Shes awesome! What she did was ballsy and took a lot of courage!

  • God bless sinead i am with her.

  • Religions a conditioned joke that its believers don't get. It's the perfect catch 22 the keeps priest and political monsters in power.

  • OMG sinead really rocks!!!!!

  • Ce geste et surtout sa signification étaient d'une stupidité exemplaire. Contrairement à ce que beaucoup peuvent penser, il n'avait rien de bien risqué pour elle. Les bien-pensants aiment plutôt être de ceux qui hurlent avec les loups.

  • Religion has nothing to do with the holy spirit. Praise HIM not IT.

  • It has in so much that Holy Spirit guides it, after creating the Church on Pentecost. Religion's purpose IS to praise Him.

  • the pope is dead,,

  • @rapterjet I think you have shit in your brian mix with piss of the pope

  • my respect to you miss sinead!!!!! I LOVE you for doing this risk by that time you're on top !!!! Its a sacrifice really...I wish you are are happy with your family....bless you my angel

  • Why isn't this all over RTE every minute of every day until everybody involved is brought to justice and locked up? Pat Kenny, Joe Duffy, Gerry Ryan, Ryan Purgitory... get off yere wallets and do one noble act at the risk of yere jobs as mouthpieces for the Government and Church. I mean Sinead is a woman for Christ sake and she showed ye how to do it 10 years ago; She risked it all Lads, when are ye going to do the noble thing and give two fingers to yere bosses? Well! Pat, Joe, Gerry, Ryan?

  • Very brave woman.... She was not about politics as some tried to make it look. She was about so delicate issue as child abused by the monster of the church........Which by the way has nothing to do with Jesus Christ.

  • she was sooooo right...some people that year are just so stupid and ignorant about what's really happening....sinead is not stupid to ruin her self image and whole career by that time...but she SACRIFICED HER WHOLE CAREER AND FAME in return to her principles for what she believed in....I LOVE THIS BRAVE WOMAN...until now i respect her for being sooo damn brave---doing that is hard and you have to have guts to face the consequenses

  • she was fucking right all along most men of the so called cloth are pedos it seems

  • Grow up America! Be spiritual. Stop being religulous!

  • She may of thought that, but should not have necessarily ripped up a picture of the pope that would insult thousands of people. Even if there was reason behind it, she shouldn't have done that on something like SNL.

  • I think she obviously felt and or knew that people at the top of the catholic church namely the pope were very much aware of what was going on, and instead of punish those who committed the offenses or help the families they chose to cover it up. I think in law they call that being an 'accessory' to crime.

  • The lyrics of "War" are a speech given by Ethiopian leader Haille Sallasie who governed during a famine which killed 70-80,000 Ethiopians... children included.

    Sinead is historically illiterate to go on singing this song which glorifies Salassie's Leninist regime.

    Shame.

  • Jews & Vatican is the source of all evil on earth , see every war , every massacre , killing millions through years , its enough killing 100 million of indians in new world , droping 2 millions of blacks in deep ocean under the name of jesus

    wake up europe , its only islam is the truth

    be fair , read history , do not give your ears to western propaganda , who shows that they are saints while fucking women in churches for 1500 years,who use children,sell human parts the paganism jews & Vatican

  • kein Mensch braucht Kirche!!!

  • Sinead is BRAVE! I think she is my new hero.

  • hero???? no way. she is no hero. she was brave to do such a stupid thing. this is morally wrong. you can disagree but don't disagree by ripping a picture that is special to many people. I feel bad that she doesnt see the shame in what she did

  • @The123Carolabc Let me know when u get to hell to let me know how it is

  • RESPECT to Sinead !!!! As one of you wrote "she was ten years ahead of all of us ... "

  • I respect Sinead very much... I believe in god, but I do not believe into the church which is degraded institution.

  • its morally wrong to abuse children too...which was the whole point of what she was conveying.

  • @amessad --yeah she's the best!!! people should say sorry now to her..especially those who are soooo mean to her at that time...and hurt her feelings so badly....its time to join facebook now --supporting sinead ---pls people --apologise to sinead this time

  • Children..... Children..... FIGHT.

  • Thanks to those... who refuse to keep silent... this was all hush-hush (seventies)... due to fear, or whatever the stupid reason was

  • Jesus healed me... I don't trust in men... I trust God... be blessed = ) I don't want to live in bitterness... Thank God for exposing them... *pause*...

  • Here, why's a pint of Guiness like a Roman Catholic Priest?

    A white collar, black cassock, and if you get a dodgy one you gotta watch your arse

  • yeah she was only about ten years ahead of the rest of us

    we are ALL in debt to her for standing up against the terrorist organization known as the catholic church

  • Yeah, i didnt start finding out just how bad the Catholic Chruch was till like the last year, and it came while i was studying politics, trying to figure out which party to vote for, then after doing more digging, finding out that the Catholic Church is the NWO. Catholics are at the head of every important department within the USA, and they all are loyal to another country, the VATICAN.

    Bush and Obama, both appoint almost all ROman Catholics to various positions. Both Parties are the same.

  • I love her ! Go Sinead. Fuckin` bullshit religion fanatics !

  • excelente vídeo, al final de la canción yo me hubiera levantado a llevarle flores y aplaudirle... de verdad al enemigo de la humanidad es la religión cualquiera que sea, en el caso de méxico es la religión católica, afortunadamente muerto... carol woltiwa alias juan pablo segundo, en pederasta menos, bravo sinead o'connor.

  • very powerful

  • I'm curious....how does ripping up the photo of a man, who is head of an organisation that serves its own interests, more offensive than the crimes committed against children and ignored by the catholic church. To me this stand made by Sinead O'Connor was what was needed to focus the world's attention on what was going on and give victims the strength to fight against the veil of silence. She's a hero.

  • Heh, stop emailing me hate messages....just because you can't see what everyone else can see....How can the pope deny a 13yr catholic girl the right to an abortion after she has just been gang raped.......and then proceed to rape children under the cross.....keep friends close, but the devil closer..

  • Didnt her carrer go down the drain after this??/She sucked anyways!!

  • lol you have no morals. The vatican haha has More (p) als wink wink

  • standing up against evil is never popular...know your enemy...

  • She had every right....now all we hear are trials against Catholic priests abusing children. Even the pope had to apologised. She was correct and I UTTERLY respect her for it............those sick Americans who put their children up on beauty pageants and then wonder why their country is sick with child pornography.....

  • Screw you!!!

  • ....that's what the Priest did exactly.....screw young boys in the name of the father, the son and the holy ghost........ however, they got caught.

  • Where the hell have you been ??? Catholic priests historically can not leave children alone.....they have been tainted by a sizeable number who hide behind their religious whilst abusing children....they are sick as all those who attempt to defend them.

  • She knew the Pope was a mess! All those innocent kids being raped by priests,and the Pope just swept it under the carpet! He was NO saint..believe it!

  • Exactly !!!

  • She was very brave to perform this act in a world where pop stars are expected to be silent to injustice.

  • I could admire her if her deed would be rational. Don't misunderstand me. I'm not a henchman of the church. Unfortunately, as for me it was the same like destroying farmer picture beacouse on his field weeds grow.

  • No, she was ahead of her time and she was right .. I dont believe she did had anything against catholics or the religion on itself but on the child abuse on how the church manipulates , she was right all along .. unreasonble or not, you got to admire her for her strength , that was one woman against almost the whole world ..

    Beside she is an artist, almost every artist I can think of had a little (sometimes a lot) madness in him or her.. but what we define as madness now

  • might change to a truth in time or another perpective in time, such controversial actions does make people think ..

  • SPARTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • She had the right to perform like that! She was all right!

  • go sinead go!

  • go sinead!! go!!! sometimes yo'd feel yo'd go all mad, and then time proved you right.

  • The Ryan Report just released in Dublin has proven that Sinead was right, more than right. She is so brave.

  • I strongly support Sinead to fuck all the nasty fucking catholic people, simply because they fucking deserve it.

  • when will the brain washed people of the catholic church realize their church is run by a bunch of perverts that have caused untold horrors on its congreation for at least decades.what part of the churches bingo money being used to pay off little boys parents is it the catholics fail to understand???i can see why the ancients wrote this pope would be the last!!!damn the catholic church to hell quit supporting their abuse of mankind see them for the perverts they obviously are.close the pope down

  • I never really knew why she did it. The American media were too busy covering how offended everybody was to tell us crap. I just figured, "Hmm. She must really hate the Pope."

    Thank you for posting this.

  • Courage used to mean risking your life for others. Now it means ripping up a photo. How brave!

  • you think she didn't get death threats over this? she is gutsier than most, friend.

  • You still don't understand what courage is. Her act was the equivalent of saying "nyaah, nyaah" to someone and then hiding behind a tree. The fact that people, rightly, were disgiusted by her actions does not make them anything less than cowardly.

  • "Nyah nyah, you shelter child molesters from justice"? The Catholic church's greatest culpability in this matter has been it's culture of silence and secrecy. Under such conditions, speaking out is exactly the kind of courage needed.

  • The fact is:she was apublic person and for that reason,she was capable ofreaching millions ith her actions. She was not fighting the pope himself, but the Catholic church as a whole; she risked her life, fame, and carreer. And she was right to stand up. Thank you.

  • gevansmd: you are absolutly right, risk your life for courage. Perhaps you can risk yours and die trying to be courage.

    Your visions are a bit outdated man. Courage is much more profound then your one-way-and-single-minded-visi­on & interpretation of her actions.

    YOU don't understand what courage is, so you shouldn't force your opinion upon others. The people wrongfully misunderstood her actions because many peeps are ignorant.

  • I'm expressing my opinion, not forcing it. She tore up the photo and expected a standing ovation from a hip NY audience. When she didn't get that and was later booed of another stage, she didn't have the grace to apologize and instead, made up a story about her "courage".

    On the radio today I heard the story of a little boy who fell into the foundation hole of a new home, filled with water. A man jumped in and saved the boy and lost his own life doing so. That is courage.

  • I understand what you mean... but I don't have to agree. You asume she wanted a standing ovation, you asume (as in force) she has to apologize (I don't see why really), you asume too much.

    Courage is what you say it is but is also much more then that.... as I said... Courage is much more profound then how you state it is.

    Courage can be used when someone believes firmly in his or her opinion & knowing for instance that expressing that believe can be very harmfull... and that IS what she did.

  • I don't think she thought it would be harmful and you have no way of knowing she did either. Given the SNL audience and its usual irreverence, it is reasonable to assume she expected accoladaes and cheers. Even an audience of, you'd expect, open minded and liberal leaning New Yorkers was appalled by her actions. What does that tell you? There is zero evidence to suggest she knew she was going to pay a price.

  • I disagree completely. Artists, true artists such as Sinead, are provocative and they know they are provocative. That is what art should do - question authority, question traditional thought, and even question their own beliefs. An artist has this vision and knows that not all will agree or understand, but they do it anyway. It is arrogant and short-sighted of you to say that she expected everyone to appreciate her for speaking out. And guess what? About 10 years later we find out she was right.

  • (Con't.) So her only problem was not that she was wrong, but that she was ahead of her time and it took many years for people in the U.S. to learn about the sexual abuse within the Catholic church. A hero for children who were being sexually abused at the time. Because if there was even just ONE child who saw this that was being molested by their priest, and it helped that child, then no one has the right to say that she was wrong. Peace.

  • Regarding your statement that if even one child was helped, etc., is also absurd. There have been a lot of even horrific acts that have none the less helped one person or another. You can justify slaughter with a statement like yours.

  • By your definition of art, 99% of all the art ever created is not true art. That means no Greek, no Roman, no Egyptian, no Masters, no Impressionists, etc, which is absurd.

    You don't think standing in front of a NYC audience, and an audience at a Dylan tribute concert she wasn't expecting wild applause? Of course she was, and when she didn't she had to make up a story that ripping a photograph was some brave act of art.

  • YOU sir are wrong on every aspect. You cannot justify how someone is or might be feeling unless you knew her all your life. Second this has to do with her life and its something she has promised to herself. Lastly she was right and you are wrong. Theories became fact so she spoke the truth. GOOD DAY SIR.

  • really cool!

  • a really good thing she did!

    everyone who rapes children must get punished! everyone! the roman catholic church has many child abuse cases with no judgments. a really deep dark sin is this. the roman catholic church is the church of lie.

    jesus is the christ. jeshua ha mashiach!
