Of course they won't because they're just too cowardly to admit the truth. :eek:

Taken there as they were a bad influence on the rest of the women in the parish.

is this why Joe is off, free reign for the Nuns and sympathisers to say what they want ?

No, I'd be guessing that Duffy knew the Church would be fighting back today.

And if we know about thing about Joe, he has a soft spot at heart for the 'poor priests and nuns'.

So I'd be thinking he'd prefer not to have to ask too many awkward questions directly to them............

Respectfully, I don't agree that he's rambling. There's a strong narrative thread to what he's talking about. Powerful stuff.

"Thanks to the person who rang me."

So he didn't call in himself. Cavan. Maybe Damo knew his story already.

For once Im liking LL dragging a topic out ... get it exposed as much as possible, especially when some RCC Snake comes on LYING , only to be totally found out by the next caller(s).

Good man Hugh. You do know what you're talking about and it's good enough.

Kenny is all talk......well I couldn't agree more....another one of these people who talk the talk but don't walk the walk.

Such was the power of the RC Church and other Religious Institutions that the lay person shat themselves - the religious institutions ruled the roost, and still do to a certain degree

To topple the RC church in Ireland - get more than the 13% owed - first thing? Take the "charitable status" that the revenue commissioners afford them. Pay up or this charitabe status goes IMMEDIATELY - like that's gonna happen

He's just biding his time to go to Europe with his mate Phil Hogan, they dont give a **** about Ireland - The DO NOTHING government. Useless pathetic government

Enda Kenny has spoken out strongly about the excesses of the church but I think it's beyond his power to do much more than that. The Catholic church in this country is still a very powerful institution with international backup. You don't topple an organisation that has developed over centuries in a few weeks or months. Ultimately, it's up to the public to abandon them or otherwise. As long as people continue to go to mass, get baptised, marry and have funerals there - we are complicit in supporting them.

Phil Hogan. Cannot stand the loudmouth.

This reminds me of the councillor from Clonmel who spoke on John Bowman one night. There was a certain amount of denial in the room that night and a "shure, it's all in the past" attitude. He then spoke very powerfully and i think when FF saw one of their own speaking they had no choice but to be seen to do something.

There's still a cover up of sorts going on. If we had wanted, legislation would have been introduced a couple of decades ago and a lot of people would have been assigned to investigate this, but it was left up to the work of one woman to keep this story going. Makes me fcuking sick.

I was listening to this in the car. I think this caller is mixing fact and fiction. I didn't believe the bit about his grandfather wanting to take him and his mother home but Paddy Hillary stopped them..............complete nonsense.

It's totally within the power of Kenny and the cabal in the Dail to do something about it, but they simply don't have the balls to stand up to them.

The people have spoken, just look at the numbers who attend Mass compared to 25 years ago. But the silence from the majority of those in Leinster House is deafening here.

Kenny is the 5th Taoiseach after Reynolds, Bruton, Ahern and Cowan to do nothing about child sex abuse in the Church. I don't hold out much hope for the next one. They know which side their bread is buttered on.

Another case where the woman's mother shifted them into a home.

vicwatson

I know a girl who went to England for an abortion and her Father was never told by her Mother to this day, it only happened about 15 years ago, at all costs the Father was not told, even though knowing him it would have more than likely never made a difference to him but the Mother never wanted to upset the apple cart, him being the breadwinner and all that, she also created a house environment where the children were seen but never heard, the father never involved himself in the upbringing in the environment created by the Mother and her only. Very sad. Spending years trying to make it up to the kids now using the grandchildren to release her guilt

That's a big fat NO then - what a bint

Look at the very large numbers who get married in the church, who get their children baptised and confirmed through the school system. Look at the large numbers who turn to the church for family funerals.

Even disgusted callers to this programme have called for the exhumation of the children in Tuam and burial in CONSECRATED ground. So the church is still supported by the public at large.

Yer man Hugh was the most genuine person I've heard talking to date on the whole subject. Not just in his outright condemnation of how he and others were treated but in how he has adjusted to life.

My son had a yewmanist wedding. Been at a couple of family funeralds where there was no religious in sight, so to speak. Slowly slowly slowly these religious will fade away.....

He won't be happy about this being in the papers. And I don't mean the photo, of which he threw a well known tantrum before.

He won't like that, at all.
"That should be private," he fumed over a glass of Chateau Margaux 2009 Balthazar. "What business is it of the public what their licence money is spent on? I trust in the good sense and mature business acumen displayed by the management of RTE as to how best to reward the talent in their organisation."
