Really can’t believe we’re tolerating this “Ireland is trying to cancel Catholicism” bullshit, as if we didn’t close the capital for 3 days for the pope, we’re giving our new national maternity to a bunch of nuns to run, & where the last Magdeline laundry closed in the 1990s
We’re the country of the Ferns, the Murphy, & the McCoy report. The country of Brendan Chomsky, & Desmond Connell. The country of “the mother & baby homes” like Besborough & Tuam. The country of the Laundries & the industrial schools...
And yet, the church runs 90% of Irish schools. It’s call to pray is still on Irish state tv and radio twice a day. It runs both mental and regular health services. It’s leaders still are given prominent places in our society & media.
On top of that, the church has obfuscated & obstructed any investigation into the heinous crimes carried out by its minions. Be it sexual, physical, or emotional. It tried to deny the monsterous crimes committed in Tuam. It intentionally drags its heels compensating it’s victims.
I genuinely feel that hold the church had on this state, combined with the scale of its crimes being so unimaginable that we as a people can’t comprehend it all
It’s the only explanation as to why we haven’t driven every priest from this island & burnt every church to the ground
