Ignore the obvious trolling.

[whitey]

The parents of these girls were brainwashed into believing that they would burn in hell for all eternity unless they followed the direction of the church on such matters

That's it. Another addition to the ignore list. I just can't be dealing with it any more.

Not to mention the suffering they would have to endure on earth! I know of two illegitimate women in our area. They were saved from industrial institutions by people who were strong enough to keep them. They are in their 70's now! Both are different Characters - One is rather shy and reserved from what one can only describe as abuse growing up the other is as hard as nails. There had to endure the BASTARD stigma all their lives.

They didnt get pregnant by themselves and of course its popular to say that the fathers was the local rich man and big farmer when it usually was just some ordinary young lad getting his oats

"Children of sin" in a country that didn't allow contraception or abortion and with no State support for unmarried women. Their mothers had no chance.

Nail on the head lads. Use the ignore function....we can't help him.

[Main Street]

Of all the scandals that have been documented as fact, this discovery has to be single most heart rendering event.

Shamrock Shore,did you mean that as a pun?

[T Fearon]

This is tragic of course,but a product of an era when atonement for sin was very much in vogue.I got many a belt myself in catholic primary education,and my late mother and her contemporaries were beaten black and blue by nuns in school. It did not impair her faith in any way.

But it does provide a field day for anti Catholics,and their pathetic inference that the modern church is somehow responsible.I suspect these very same people have little or no actual sympathy for the victims of this scandal,but actually revel in any opportunity to attack the Catholic Church.
