Youre going to regard the Catholic Church as more than a self-glorified, macabre, inhuman joke? Really? Buggered little boys arent enough for you? Why not admit it? You cannot conceive of a world that isnt run by authoritarian psychopaths. So you not only tolerate them, you honor them. Shame on you. ------ Magdalene Laundries //From 1765 to the late 1990, about 30,000 women were incarcerated and deprived of normal lives for a youth mischief that their own church was not able to forgive. Supported by the State and the Church, the goal of theses institutions was to rehabilitate fallen women into society, but in reality, their return to freedom was seldom a fact. In 2001, the Irish Government admitted that the Magdalene Laundries were places of abuse. In 2011, the United Nations Committee Against Torture urged Ireland to investigate the facts and truth of the government involvement. In 2013, the panel found evidence of verbal abuse, and Irelands Prime Minister Enda Kenny issued a full state apology to the victims, calling them the nations shame. The last Laundry in Ireland closed in 1996.// huffingtonpost/sidonie-sawyer/-the-true-scandal-of-the-_b_4509415.html
