RE: Bless You Father, For You Have Sinned

Disgusting animals. I live in Ireland as you know and the first town I moved to (not a place where anyone would ever go really) is not only home to one of the largest prisons in Ireland, but also the town in Ireland with the largest (sexual)abuse case in the courts EVER. 130+ cases. 3 priests, two of which had been moved from a different town because of 'troubles' there... Nice one. They knew and moved them so they could make more victims elsewhere. One of those priests got 12 years in prison, came back out and then went back in for another 2 years for another guy who had come forward to the police after he shot and killed his own father. The 130+ cases, these are the ones that came forward. They were mostly boys, so there are possibly twice that number more victims that we don't know about or who never told a soul. I personally know three of these victims who never took it to court. If you'd walk around in that town, 1 out of 4 men who grew up there, between the ages of 30 and 48 is a victim... It absolutely BLEW my mind. It's something very dark, and you can feel that darkness in that place. Very sad how the Catholic church has handled things.

Sort:  

That’s my problem with it. How they’ve handled the situation up to this point has. Even a nightmare and embarrassing. Cover ups and such.

That’s crazy to hear about that town. This world is full of beauty but also vile monsters.
