  • It's a world wide institutional epidemic, put Catholic paedophilia into google and see the results you get.

    China has priests in prison for life with blind Catholics demanding their release.

    In China paedophilia is a life sentence hence Chinese who are charged and know they've done it commit suicide.The RCC is the ultimate wolf hiding behind the ultimate sheep's clothing, Christianity it ain't unless I missed a meeting where sodomy became the cornerstone of Christianity.

  • Amen to that! They've nothing to do with Ireland really. They were just the latest empire to invade our shores and enslave our people mentally as well as physically. This country's obsession with suffering and self deprecating nature stems directly from it's peoples' experiences with the catholic church.

  • The comments left here are ridiculous. I am surprised that some of the people who left them can actually write to be honest. This is about abuse in an organization called the Catholic Church. It is not about the past or about Catholics and Protestants who have a very good relationship in the Republic. It is not about colonization. To criticize the Catholic Church is not to criticize Ireland; they deserve to be criticized. They have treated us terribly. They are the first colonizers.

  • @ScourgeofInfidels What the fuck are you talking about?

  • @lovelymagiceyes012 Are you talking abut the Catholic Church, one of the richest organizations in the world, which imposes its beliefs and culture on other people. Sounds pretty colonial doesn't it..... They have caused too much suffering. Shame on you you for trying to brush it aside.

  • @TheDiabhal

    Did you suffer catholic buttrape in your childhood too? I´m sure you enjoyed it though, being the cheese eating frog that you are. What a disgrace. Surrender now and face the truth.

  • Why have these institutions not been prosecuted? Why have the bankers not been prosecuted? Why do people just take this?

  • @ScourgeofInfidels You sound like you have human manners. Paedophiles find ways to get into a position of respect and power and then they abuse that. Many jobs attract them; teachers, clergymen, doctors etc. The problem here is the disgraceful reaction of the Catholic Church to the pain and suffering it caused many people. The unfortunate thing is that it many countries it is continuing. Shame on you for abusing that situation to advance your own racism.

  • I am one of the abused. Do not let the Catholic Religion into schools.Do not let any religion into a school.

  • The problem is that authoritarian religious culture attracts psychopathic types--people who crave power and exercise it over the vulnerable. Thank God that the church doesn't command the kind of blind respect anymore in society as it once did. Those priests who are bad people by nature thrived on that unquestionable respect. Worse still, the fear they cultivated was the biggest insult to Christ that anyone could have thought up. Shame on them all.

  • "UP TO NOW CHILD ABUSE IN SCHOOLS WE ANECTDOTAL"" WHAT?- hasnt anyone read JANE EYRE or OLIVER etc?- all money is PROTECTED by the law- whom it BUYS- religious are all capitalists destroy all life- loo up tibetan monks child victims SILENCED by DALAI LAM- rich buddhist corporations created "peg houses" male prostitution houses in malaysia/phillipines-boycot all religions they totally dictate to politicians--or ELSE
