Justice versus conscience

When I watched the movie the Magdalen Sister’s and seen all these girls went through I felt so sorry for them. I was happy to see some escape and wished they all could. I can’t stand the nun’s to this day and wish evil upon them.

It would seem that most folks believe that these places only existed in Ireland. NOT SO THEY WERE WORLDWIDE! I spent two and a half years in one such place – The Convent of the Good Shepherd, Lichfield Hall, in Blackley, Manchester. It was horrendous. It was not a ‘mother and baby’ home at that time (1966-68), but an institution incarcerating young teenage girls who were in the ‘care system’ for a variety of reasons. At that time the Social/Child Welfare Services never inspected the places where children/ teens were dumped, hence so much ‘historic abuse’ now coming to light. There will never be an apology or any form recompense for those of us outside of Ireland.

There can be no justice until these women are paid in full.

How can anyone in Ireland – or anywhere else really – remain Catholic after learning of this?

my dads mom was locked in one of these vile institutions for a long time. my dad born in 1934, sold on to another family. when he tried to get his mother released was told she couldnt leave as only her mother and sister signed her in and they were the only ones who could sign her out. THE CATHOLIC CHURCH need to release records, and admit their wrong doing. absolutely sick. my dad never got to know his mom, he doesnt know who his dad is as she was placed in there and gave birth to a girl first, so how did my dad get conceived if she couldnt leave. vile priests….

It is right that the Irish Govenerment has appologised and yes they should be made to pay to each and all of the victims of this abuse, but what of the Roman Catholic church who’s nuns ran these laundries, they should be made to pay a dam sight more, and people should be held to account for this abuse. Not even a sorry from their lips have been said!

Poor Mary. God bless her

Apology is useless without a countrywide second level education historical program NOT run by any church

Doesn’t go any way near far enough. Prosecutions should follow and all living culpable parties subjected to the same treatment

It was also the State that used the Gardai to sent back escaped women

these nuns should be punished

All those nuns need their day in court. Then theyd feel a huge sense of relief.

too little too late for me they belong in the court of human rights and should be imprisoned for the rest of there life from the fucking pope down to the pedophile priests.

Where is the apology from the church?

they need tobe closed down for good

And a couple of weeks prior to the apology he told the same people, the same victims to fuck off, they were not going to get a penny out of him..

No apology from the Catholic Church though !!!

I don’t believe any apology from the nuns

Why I hate the catholic chugrch 101.

On whose behalf did he apologise?

Shatter….  lol

Took way too long

wheres all these bloody nuns now,

The human leuge

Wot them
