I mentioned this before, as part of priests training at one time , they were sent into state run children's homes to act as spiritual advisors . Even as seminary students the Nuns were terrified of them. In my own own home, 3 of the most notorious pedophiles were sent in by the arch diocese , one some may recall , Bill Carney, it was later suggested an organised pedophile ring was in operation in the Murphy report , but not proven, I was happy to offer evidence but was ignored .

Say what you want about religious orders, but when they where in charge of hospitals, they where fecking spotless and run properly.

Absolutely the catholic church was responsible for horrific crimes in the past.

However you cant say everyone involved in the Catholic church was evil. There was and still is good people in the Catholic Church.

Historically the English done bad things to the Irish - Do we hate all English people - no we dont - most people moved on from that. Likewise people need to recognise that the Catholic Church of now is different to what it was years ago. The bashing of the catholic church needs to stop and Im by no means a holyjoe.

It is so true, the State and Church as in Arch Dioceses placed children in these and other institutions.

My mother once thought she “ought” to be a nun, but as she said she would have made about as suitable a nun as myself 😂

Something thats never mentioned in any discussion of the Tuam scandal is that one of the main reasons the mother and baby home was set up was because the paying customers in the bon secours hospital in the middle of town objected to sharing a room with "these" ladies... Theres a terrible shortage of mirrors in this country all the better to see who we were

Families where complicit... I heard family stories of how the guards knocked on my grandmothers door to take my uncle to Artane, due to his bad behaviour (never showing up for school) and they were ran from the door, because everybody knew what happened in there and there was no way my grand parents where having it!! So families where capable of stopping children being put in, in some cases.

This Cawlur is mixing up Christian Brothers and Nuns

My father’s business friend had a son who was abused in Belvedere. My Dad had gone to Blackrock College, so he was able to get the son in there instead and told the powers what had happened in Belvedere and that he was hoping the boy would have a much better experience in Blackrock.

This cawlur (Lisa ?) is extremely angry - a lot of hostility built up over the years. Was she on before?

They were not Nazis, cawlur. Nazis were people who wore black uniforms and went around telling people what to do - oh wait

My experience of the nuns was more fortunate, they were the most enlightened nuns in Ireland and some of my class mates were telling me recently how they kept friends with some of them. There were one or two oddities with mental health issues etc, but they were taken into hand quickly if parents complained. They were great at encouraging debate and freedom of expression.
