Children brought to these laundries and called "whores" and "bastards" as if they even knew what they meant. Nuns telling them they wont get to heaven unless they repent...what about the nuns repenting? Then, the Vatican has the audacity to deny this ever happened, or, they claim theses "women" came of their own wills to these laundries. The church lies, and is cruel!! Shame on the Catholic church and its Vatican and Pope. I spit on all of them!!!

laurierevill, you loose any credence of your argument by finishing "I pray to jesus" that's part of the system that created this mess, this blind faith is dangerous in all religions.

@abigaelruth23 Do your home work before arguing. We're talking about Kathy O'Beirne here.

@bargeanimal What are you taliking about? She's not profiting from anything. Its nice that she made this video to tell us about the magdalane laundries.

fecking evil religion catholic satanists , why did ppl listen to these evil bastards ?

@clemarochies hey mate if you google her name with Magdalene Laundries you'll get plenty of info on her. Her school record, her family, testimonies from inmates and many other sources prove her story to be fake. It is absolutely disgraceful to profit from the suffering of others the way she did. Shame on her. There is actually another book written about her lies.

@bargeanimal I read her book Kathy's story years ago and only saw an article recently that says she is lying. Can u tell me a bit more about it?

[bargeanimal]

Did I see Kathy O'Beirne's name on that video? Remove it immediately! She's a liar and a disgrace. She never saw the inside of a Magdalene Laundry in her life. She profited from a lie and she used the story of the suffering of so many innocent girls and women to do so.

The Irish government was so weak that it just let the evil catholic church do what it wanted and it became very much like the SS in Nazi Germany, a state within a state, above the law. It controlled peoples minds and abused its victims. These laundries were just like Gulags and the scum who ran them should have been put on trial like the war criminals were at Nuremburg after the war. Why do you think that so many Irish people came to Britain in the 50s and 60s? to escape

Repent for their sins? WHAT sins? The poor little things never had a chance. When they get to Heaven, they will be in joy and peace eternally...not sure whats gonna happen to those nuns. God have mercy on us all.
