A survivor of child abuse by the Sisters of Mercy speaks out

[funnygirl023]

wow..as a proud graduate of as a sisters of mercy school here in the states im shocked...

[afufle]

Babies strapped to potty chairs so long their rectums began to fall out, it was the slightly older children responsible not for getting babies off the chairs or wiping and diapering, but to push the rectums back in. How horrible, how filthy and sinful and lazy and uncaring. Nasty lazy nuns, should have fought back if the priests were making them do ALL these things, beatings, lies and neglect. Evil, evil, evil.

[zts78zt]

In a pastoral letter he blamed chapter11 of the diocese on the victims. In 2007 he proposes that names of the victims should be public knowledge.The real danger here are not the victims but the pedophile priests that he continues to pay them and protect them. Bishop Vlazny makes the Church looks bad. Thank you for your input.

[PtAltmVansanTarr]

ORGANIZED RELIGION IS AN ABUSIVE,ORWELLIAN SOCIAL ORDER LIKELY CAUSED BY A VIRUS AND DESIGNED TO OPPRESS THE MIDDLE AND LOWER CLASSES. SICK SICK SICK SICK. THE ONLY WAY IT WON'T HAPPEN IS TO GET RID OF THE CHURCH

[PtAltmVansanTarr]

@Naomiandre11 when the entire Church,including the highest leadership is either involved or knows about the most heinous abuse of children, YES THE ENTIRE CHURCH IS RESPONSIBLE

[PtAltmVansanTarr]

If there is a God, he/she/it will see these nuns get what they deserve.

[Pijper33]

this goes beyond rape which is disgusting in itself..listen to these interviews about the beatings and the physical, mental abuse...these poor babies and children were beaten to the point, some of them died. and absoutely no punishment for the ones who did it? why? because they are holy? my good god!. it just baffles the mind that this went on. not just in ireland but in other parts of the world. i don't blame the whole religion but i do blame factions of it.

[Born2Flesh]

The Catholic Church has been fucking children from it's beginnings. The Catholics are so brainwashed, they still continue to take their children to a place that is known worldwide for raping children and housing pedophiles. Brainwashing is the only thing that can account for this behavior by the people.

[mrangry1960]

God does'nt exist. end of, deal with it. Abolish ALL religions

[liljojo44]

@mrangry1960 Be careful of your words, cause god DOES exist. 

[mrangry1960]

@liljojo44 God is in the same category as Bigfoot and The Loch Ness Monster. Bits of peripheral suggestions that they MIGHT be a possibility but no one has ever proved it. Religion is just mind control for the masses

[c0ncerta]

@liljojo44

God does NOT exist. Get your shit right !

[liljojo44]

@c0ncerta But God does exist. Maybe you should get your "s***" right.

[c0ncerta]

@liljojo44

Says on your profile about me page you said that your 15.... You will find out one day,

also god is not real idiot

[liljojo44]

@c0ncerta I dont need to find anything out "one day" Ive found out now. Ive been through enough to know Gods real thankyou. When you meet him, you shall found out. And you sure as heck cannot say no one told you, cause plenty people did. And I'm not the idiotic one here.

[c0ncerta]

@liljojo44

god is not real.

[jackeenjim]

This was happening while Pope John Paul 2 was pope. He is now beatified and they want to make him a saint!!!!!!!!!!!~

[Naomiandre11]

why do people always blame the whole of the catholic church why

[MadameTiffanyCo]

@Naomiandre11

People blame the whole of the Catholic church because of the way it is set up. If the Pope decides something, it's acknowledged world wide by the Catholic church. It's not like a protestant church where one minister might say one thing, and another minister might say another. The Catholic church is also an organization that has covered up countless horrific acts such as the Magdalene laundries, and sexual and physical, and psychological abuse world wide.

[lmollot]

like JANE EYRE-WHEN will we JOIN to take adult action & create a new society-laws cannot work to Protect EACH child/woman-police say "TOO MANY OFFENDERS-matriarchy societies have kept women/children SAFE in the past & STILL nowadays-HABITAT INTERNATIONAL COALITION-india2005 recommends "WOMEN FARM COLLECTIVES-as means to PREVENT child/mother abuse,malnutrition,child sex traffick,homeless,abusive shelters/orphanages-govt cant help us-but WE can-see vid "matriarchy clans protect mothers& youth

[iglpole84]

I was abused by a instructor in college and after the abuse happened, I dropped out of the subject to get away from him!!

[lmollot]

@iglpole84 a lot of abuse in society was STARTED by teachers - religious leaders INVENTED white mans education to continue forcing "religious taxes on public-my family is example of pedoRAPISTS (not pedophile NOT love) teachers starting this child abuse on my great grandfather all the way down to now my grandniece-law say i cant keep her away from my abusing brother/father- all highly "educated" therefore immune to the law-which is another invention of religious-see vid "matriarchy clans protect

[Moonflower52]

I was beat by the nuns...scared to death of the priest...Nun's did not teach love...taught hitting and how to do that to children..called children stupid...hateful woman....and they are what? Holy Brides of God...what a big funking joke...i was kick out of school at 7 thank God had enough since to get me the hell away from the abuse...

[IggyHazard]

Burn the Vatican to the ground! Resist Europa's Roman popery!

[lmollot]

@IggyHazard look up tibetan monks sex/battering of tiny boys servants in their temples- DALAI LAMA has SILENCED the victims- ask WHY the male whorehouses of malaysia/phillipines are called "PEG HOUSES"- sad & sick- all for MONEY profits of capitalists insane greed- solution see vid" matriarchy clans protect mothers & youth- my father was victim -he passed it to us now grandkids- viva "white mans EDUCATION teachers?bring back grandmothers groups as teachers- join to build new matriarchy society

[IggyHazard]

@lmollot Nationalism will punish all rapists unto death.

[no1saphead]

Did anyone go to court or jail over these cases ?

[Heahmount]

New Ireland Party Candidate in Clare Gerry Walshe broke news last night at Ennis Hospital Forum of alledged child abuse coverup involving politicans, why wasnt there a Enquiry into this allegation ! He is running in order to highlight the plight of the abused children and how difficult it is to have their voices heard. Did you discuss these matters at the cabinet table ?

Gerry walshe also alledges Irish Govt was Gun Running for foreign countries. Special Opps activities.

[apostatesspeak]

FUCK NUNS, PRIESTS, MULLAHS, IMAMS, NEW AGE CROOKS Fuck you!!!!!

[ruthless6661]

mary was 11 when she conceved jesus joseph was 95 at the time anather judo/christian prophet issac marreid a 6yr old when he was 45 and u dont want to know about lot and his 2 young daughters sik fuks fuk the church

[FossilEYES1]

I am confident that those in the hierarchy of this so called church, will be held accountable by God, for protecting and in some cases enabling those that do such abominable, atrocious and unthinkable wicked things.

[FossilEYES1]

Only God knows how many of these child abusers and molesters were never true believers and are really atheists and agnostics, masquerading in religious garb, as a divisive ploy to gain the trust of their innocent victims, in order to fulfill their wicked and perverted lusts, in perpetrating such evil upon children.

Cont...

[FossilEYES1]

It is infuriating to know what these wicked individuals do to their innocent victims, in having been terribly abused by those in the guise of being pious and representatives of God.

It makes me all the more aware of another variable of my reasons for faith, in a Righteous and Just God, who will dole out justice to all unrepentant wickedness, on the foretold final day of eternal Judgment in destination.

Cont...

[SchizophrenicQueen]

While evil does hide everywhere, we only invite it to become stronger by inventing higher ground for which it might hide from the flood waters known as common sense and human decency. For me it's simply common sense that when people do such deplorable and horrible things to people (especially children) they should be punished no matter who they are. But we invent so many ways these people can protect themselves, we create systems in which they can hide, and we wonder how they get away with it.

[jeepjeeplady]

How can you generalize/group an entire religion with pedophiles?

Don't you know that evil likes to wear sheep's clothing?

The Church ISN'T evil! It stands for TRUTH...

Look at the people as individuals..

You are all hateful blind people...Why is it okay.more like encouraged, to put down Christianity but if you try to put down Jews.. You're dead?

That is wrong...

[Aquaria]

@jeepjeeplady Your church refuses to submit their child rapers to the legal authorities. They have moved known child rapers from parish to parish, and even denied the victims the right to have the records of it in courts of law.

Your stinking, corrupt, filthy church is evil.

It's not hate to call evil what it is, and to recoil from it and express horror at it.. It's normal. It's sane.

And you are as much of a scumbag for financing and supporting their evil.

Deal with it.

[jeepjeeplady]

@Aquaria

Again, You are grouping EVERYONE together. That is clearly ignorant. You can't blame an entire Church for individual persons evil actions..

If you hadn't noticed.

Pedophiles/abusers become police, state agency workers, and even parents..

It is ridiculous and plain ignorant to group ALL and blame all evil doers actions on an entire community of persons.

& I agree, ALL evil is bad. But you have to look at what the Church actually teaches. They are hiding behind the Church.

[metrx330]

I feel sick listening to this. Religion corrupts. If you believe in god then fine but religion? Not a good idea.

[MarieThereseGB]

Karen Coleman, journalist & renowned Irish Broadcaster of 106 'The Wide Angle', has recently written a book called "Haunting Cries". It chronicles the lives of 11 survivors of institutional abuse. The stories are incredibly harrowing. Karen has done a brilliant job capturing the ordinary voices of the most defenceless and voiceless of Irish society. I thoroughly recommend it to those who want to gain some significant insight into life in industrial schools in the past. It's so very unputdownable

[vvveuvie]

This is very traumatic mind control programming very organized and practiced around the world. This isn't just occuring in one part of the world, it is a network. Traumaticizing the soul like this makes for mkultra and monarch soldiers and programmers for the next generation. Healing, confronting, and exposing this will stop the cycle. It is total control and dehumanizing of humanity, and a sacrficial ritual to archon gods that these networks worship. It must stop.

[dabuzebruvaz]

WOW!!!...this iz the first time i heard on the nunz bein' perverted.i alwayz thought it wuz jus' the priestz...this iz sum sad shit

[nicholaspaddy]

@dabuzebruvaz What was said on here is only part of how Nuns treated children. I was with them for the first eighteen years of my life having been born with Spina Bifida (a disabled child).

[dabuzebruvaz]

@nicholaspaddy im sorry u had 2 deal with this.i wish u the best.eventually they WILL pay 4 what they've done

[felicityknickerhead]

psychopathic nun...torturing children....psychopathic Doctor covering up the abuse..it's disgusting, pathetic, depressing...when is Ireland going to deal with these predators?? what is wrong with us?? so sorry and ashamed to be Irish

[rachelhelen19]

Very sad. My heart goes out to all victims of abuse.

Very sad that certain horrible "holy people" have given religion a bad rep. I wish people would give Catholicism a chance, realizing that these horrible people are NOT behaving how JESUS would want them to, and are not following what the Church wants either.

God is LOVE and love does not hurt others and abuse children. Shame that so many people associated with God's own Church have turned against Him and hurt others in His name

[Locker10a]

@rachelhelen19 they were nuns and priests that came direct from hell

[amitkiran27]

People have always used religion as a pretense to abuse others.Sometimes I feel like we are better off without religion.If only we could try being more humane,we could change the world.

[carolinegauld]

MAY THE LOVE OF OUR SAVIOUR JESUS BRING PEACE TO ALL THE VICTIMS OF THIS APPALLING ABUSE IN THE NAME OF CATHOLICISM. SHAME ON YOU ABUSERS USING GOD AS YOUR EXCUSE TO PLAY OUT YOUR PERVERSITIES.

CAROLINE ROBINSON, VICTIM OF CATHOLICISM AND IT'S ABUSE.

[222cider]

ministerKGB i totaly agree fuckin dirty bastards, would like to shoot them in the face.

[MinisterKGB]

Fuck them they are the biggest Paedophilic mafia on earth

[14mm2]

There is no God.

[houseofbenjamin1]

The catholic church is a piece of shit that needs to be washed away. People need to lookto themselves and God for their faith not a group of paedophile enablers.

[MrsGJButler]

Remember God loves you as you are, you dont need to do anything...Throw off any guilt, unworthiness, or self hate you may be carrying. I know I carried a huge guilt. I wasnt even aware that I was carrying it but I was. I didnt like myself and I held onto that. God is always on your side...always....but if you are carrying guilt, surrender it to God. let it go. God will do the rest.

[MrsGJButler]

He gave you the strength to tell your story, He is with you. He loves you. Healing at the soul level, at real deep level can only happen by the Blessed Sacrament. Counselling can only heal the physical and memories but the Spirit and soul God heals. The pain does go away, the numbness does stops, the isolation goes away and all becomes community. Hope, Hope Hope...Ireland there is life..if you ask Him, God will heal. Fr Sudac on my site speaks about suffering please listen to him. God Bless all.

[MrsGJButler]

..and those that hurt young ones will see their actions and judgement before God. Believe me they will! I understand the pain, the crying into pillows, screaming inside and shoving pillows into your mouth to silence your screams so no one will hear you. I know the addictions that come from abuse. Evil is out there....but remember God is on the side of all victims. Don't please people reject God. He is with us in all our pain. He gave you the strength to walk your path.

[djlookwood]

I was sent to Killishee Covent, KIldare in 1965, and they treated me with utter contempt, and brutality and to me it was an attempt to break my spirit... they humilated me, beat me, insulted me, condemned be IN PUBLIC. I will not take their dirty money to keep quiet.

[janek7135226]

how could the babys rectums fall out

[flightofeagles]

@janek7135226

Edema develops when areas are stressed and strapped. I can imagine it quite well. Babies are very delicate and skin is thin and tender. Swelling and edema would be a part of being overspanked near the rectal area.

Extremely sad stories.

[Vark230]

oh my God these to much, i never imagine a nun doing like these.

i heard a rumor about this but i never thought there is a live confesion in these youtube. this change my view about christian.....

[ynos777]

Catholics are not Christian, Christians are people who repent from sin to come to holiness. To be like Christ. Catholic. Methodist, Lutheran, Pentecostal, Anglican and many other organisation and denomination are of against the Word of God . Start reading the Truth of God from the Word of God for your own salvation

[Iseeksdatruth]

@ynos777 RELIGION IS THE ROOT OF EVIL, ALL RELIGIONS ARE INFILTRATED & ARE BUSINESSES & COVERS FOR PEDO'S

[pnmfilms]

The Pope and ALL who cover up child abuse should be charged with 'VICARIOUS LIABILITY' Due to the long and arduous legal battles of the 'Medomsley Heroes' a statute was set for 'Vicarious Liability' meaning those who witnessed abuse and who stood by and did nothing are also liable and could potentially be charged. Search: justice4survivors and pnmashfilms. According to Channel4 news the Pope's Brother is also accused of sexually abusing choirboys in Germany!

[janek7135226]

poor babies

[MidEasterner]

I love Ireland. Beautiful country. This was like organised abuse and the Catholic church condoned it. Never should this wicked evil mar the view of Ireland or its people - only the twisted and deranged, sadistic perpetrators. Jesus did not preach this evil - he would have condemned this in the strongest terms.

[branwolf1980]

shocking but not suprising unfortunatley rip all the poor women who died and endured the terror of these places. Blessing of the earth to you all

[greg357159]

LOL, Catholics... LOOSERS

[jwri]

Someone need to be held accountable for this horrific crime. Someone needs to pay for the sufferings of these poor women.

I hope the nuns are tormenting in hell.

[labasl]

This is part of Irish Pride. There is nothing strange, they are similar like whole perverted Irish society.

[Kanagawaboy]

I'm an Irish guy who learns his living abroad teaching children...DON'T you dare brand all of us Irish people with those demented nuns and brothers who abused those poor kids...

[Iseeksdatruth]

@Kanagawaboy we know is not all Irish folk, those who think like that are sick in the head themselves

[skanger3]

@labasl fuck r u talkin about?? gobshite!!!

[harker3355]

Sounds like an international criminal organization....not a real religion.

[bkishar]

It's about time we stopped granting this evil institution special privileges and brought these pedophiles to criminal courts. 24 clergy confessed to the Pope their involvement behind closed doors and that's that!

Also in accordance with the Irish Blasphemy Law; FUCK GOD & HIS UNIVERSAL CHURCH.

[Aidan8086]

how da fuck did all them nun's & priest's that carried out the bullrooting expect to get to heaven ?

[edavisdavis]

@Aidan8086 they already know they will not enter heaven so make sure no one else enters heaven by filling the children with hate and fear.

[WorldIslamicOrder]

hmmm nice religion lol -

[1980evie]

You tell them girl..............These nuns should be hung? madness

[MrSoprano0125]

Nothing in the world will give them peace. At least give them some comfort that the molestors will be punished severely for thier crimes......

[Irishfreethinker]

The Evidence produced by the Ryan Report into Child Abuse at the hands of the Catholic Clergy demonstrates that the rape, the beatings and the starvation of children in their care was endemic to the system. Bad as this is, and it is horrific, but the Leadership of the Catholic Church knew it was going on and did not one thing to stop it. They criminally moved the peadofiles around so that more children could be raped. These mend are criminals and the organisation is a man made hell on erth.

[molestedcatholic]

I close Roman Catholic Churches

Ken Kosiorek

[ned262626]

the comments on this page are all i need to know to see that anti catholicism is the last acceptable form of bigotry

[fukhedd]

Catholicism has now been revealed to the world as nothing more than a cult of power and money that will go to any lengths to protect its own interests. It is the duty of every right-minded person to do everything in their power to oppose this evil and ruthless institution.

[GuyAwoke]

Easy for you to say my friend. Do you have even the slightest idea of what these people went through? When they first spoke out people rather believed that a piece of tasteless bread was literally the body of a human who may have existed 2000 years ago than believe the truth about these horrendous crimes. Rather naive and misguided to say the least wouldn't you say? But feel free to believe what you want, just don't expect me to take it seriously.

[ned262626]

i was molested when i was a child

[GuyAwoke]

Sorry to hear it but it doesn't change anything about what I said. Just curious was it clerical abuse?

[swiftubag1001]

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IS PURE EVIL.SCUM

[mamasuntwinkle]

@swiftubag1001 - In the U.S. state social services, judges, and even federal courts treat victims the same unless of course they have alot of money for a lawyer (tens of thousands in retainer) to sue. Victims and parents who speak are harrassed, their children are injured, raped, abused more and even killed.

[jeepjeeplady]

@swiftubag1001

Satan.. Is that you?

I thought God didn't allow you to run around the earth..

[freacls]

@swiftubag1001 i used to be catholic and i encounted a lot of nuns [luckly they were okay to me but i hate them] and i know of the horrers they did look at the magdalane laundries iv been inspired to follow a new beileif Eywa after the goddess in avatar thats like wiccan and its a beautiful beleife and theirs no evil nuns involved the catholic  church will need to get its cat in order before ill go back again

[lmollot]

@freacls look up tibetan monks sex/battering of tiny boys servants in their temples- DALAI LAMA has SILENCED the victims- ask WHY the male whorehouses of malaysia/phillipines are called "PEG HOUSES"- sad & sick- all for MONEY profits of capitalists insane greed- solution see vid" matriarchy clans protect mothers & youth- my father was victim -he passed it to us now grandkids- viva "white mans EDUCATION teachers?bring back grandmothers groups as teachers- join to build new matriarchy society

[byatch786]

nuns are jus lesboz wtfffff

sick bitches

[celticlofts]

I noticed while going through Dublin Airport a quote from former British Prime Minister Tony Blair when he made a formal apology on behalf of the British Government regarding the famine. What I didnt see was one apologizing for the decades of sexual abuse inflicted on Irish Children by the Church and State. Maybe they should put a poster like that up there too for all their victims.

[GuyAwoke]

It's atrocious but I'm pretty sure there will be no monument or standing apology of any kind. That would be going too far for the conservative politicians holding power right now.

[leftclog51]

absolutly appalling the dirty rotten bastards them priests should have been hung. they need to be named so the whole world know who they are

[venise32]

Celine Roberts book tells of a time in the industrial school when a nun pushed her down the stairs and she landed on her face breaking her nose, she almost bleed to death and all the nun could say to her was "don't mention this to anyone" so they no they were doing wrong

[SCANDIN3]

i'v tried all of them they seem interested to start with but when they hear you were abused by the state and not the church they don't want to know - i am writing a book

there is only me from the cottage home no one else will come forward and also at the moment i am being discriminated against by dun laoghaire vec who won't give me a grant because when i got it for the last course i had to leave because i was being attacked on the way to college by one of them who beat me in the cottage home

[bcrocker33]

i wish the inspectors would have come in for an unannounced visit when any of this was happening. i am sure even then it would have been hushed up, but if only ONE person who saw it outside of the church and did something maybe something would have helped. today it happens when the system leaves beaten, tortured babies in homes where they are eventually murdered. these poor people are stuck as children and it is so very sad.

[theblob34]

the commision has coverd up again for the evil church

[PhuqueU]

Look up "P2 Vatican"

or variations of "Freemasons Infiltrate Catholic Church"

They've been flooding it since before the 1920s.

They're mostly gay and it's in their big nose genes to love money,

especially money that insn't theirs, like Vatican money.

That's what Jesus meant by "After I'm gone the wolf shall enter the church and not spare the flock"

[coffeefish]

Its a rebellion in the States.Can you join us Ireland?

[watershipdown2008]

Their voices need to be heard. Such brave and strong people. Ireland needs to do something substantial to recognise the injustice done to them and to all the children who have suffered.

[SCANDIN3]

at least those who were abused by the church get to tell their story unlike those like me from state run abusive childrens homes

we don't seem important enough - what about us

[bcrocker33]

it took decades and decades for them to get their stories out and still are not believed...

what steps have you taken may i ask? i would write it all down which i am sure would take pages on pages. send to every media outlet, writer, reporter, news station, radio station... these people got their stories out due to one person starting it rolling then other get the courage. if you know anyone who was with you, could you get them to help get the story out? don't give up.

[panthera50]

Filty church, and again women are not believed.

Disgusting.

[Arclight08]

Comment removed by author; Can't handle the truth?

[Arclight08]

This is the end of the Catholic church as we know it. Ratzinger is the last pope to sit on the throne in the vaican. Interestingly enough the thrones crest is of a dragon. America is now following suit with the Irish report and hopefully other countries around the world will follow. Another apology was issued today in Dublin by the sisters of charity who ran institutions which included the Magdalene Laundries. Sorry is not enough, we hear it all the time. Acton speaks louder than words.

[bcrocker33]

absolutely and some will not even apologize. this has happened in other countries with state run homes. the church ran ireland, the industrial schools ran all over the UK for a time. the US ran orphanages as well with horrific abuse. what really gets me is that these little innocents were deemed criminals because a parent died in some cases, because they were raped as a 7 year old so were sent away. it is apalling. if they can prosecute and punish nazi's why not this? murders happened too

[coffeefish]

The Catholic church has been molesting little boys in the US for generations. It was an organized effort, not just random acts.

[Arclight08]

The deranged catholic church has to be put out of Ireland. No human being is safe with these evil scum bags running free around our country.

[coffeefish]

Please God, get the Catholic church out of America too.

[irishissues]

The Church still preaches the concept of Original Sin, that little children have mark on their souls. It is the Church that has a grave mark on it's soul and little children are free from sin! I am sick of the bullshit peddled by religions.

[theblob34]

spot on evil chuch evil religion

[ez3usx2]

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

[justaskthem]

They must be taken to The Hague.

[tonygem]

Joseph Ratzinger should be tried at the Hague for the crime of accessory to child abuse in several countries. Then he should be put in jail for the rest of his life.

[coffeefish]

Absolutely.

[sheilawaters]

so sorry - may you all find peace and happiness and justice in your future lives. no words can describe how so many Irish people feel today. Your all so brave.

[coffeefish]

Stay united, never let people forget.
