We are discussing abuse in Catholic institutions on this thread.

Well I am broadening out the discussion. I know its nice for some to infer it is just a problem in Ireland. Hence my link to India. I can also get you a link for abuse within Jewish institutions.

Abuse in India

How can you dare say that'its nice for some to infer' its just a problem in Ireland. I have read and re-read the comments pertaining to this subject on this forum and believe I do not think anyone finds this subject so appealling or WANT ownership of this revolting scenario for Ireland.
IMO, You are just being contentious regarding abuse in other religious institutions, of COURSE we are aware it is not restricted to Irish catholics but that is what we are discussing as this rather unfortunate subject is being heavily highlighted/discussed at the moment.As I sit writing this the Ryan report is currently being discussed on the radio and it is appalling. No need to offer a link to other websites, I'm declining your offer as I can find them on my own.

I am a Roman Catholic (not a lapsed one either) and I agree that those who committed these crimes of abuse should be punished...too much is brushed under the carpet..btw I have never been abused by anyone from the Catholic faith and I went to Convent Schools and a Catholic boarding school but I know people who were and it is WRONG for these abusers to get away with it, simple

I also went to a Convent School, I liked my school, just thought Sister Aquinas
Chose the wrong vocation. She couldn’t stand me and I couldn’t stand her.

I think quite a few chose the wrong vocation!

TBF, no-one has mentioned the Kincora scandal yet.

You keep orange juice drinks out of this

Do you know anything about the Kincora scandal?....On second thoughts I'd say you don't or you wouldn't be so flippant about the abuse torture and alleged murder which happened there.

Fat chance when it's compulsory to GCSE level. Although granted it covers a lot more these days. I studied "Scripture" as it was then called to A Level but I saw it as an extension of history and philosophy. I've never had any religious conviction.

I see no problem with the theory of the belief when taken in line with other ideologies. Generally speaking it's the religious institutions I cannot stomach.

Go tell that to the kids and teens abused there or any victim of abuse I'm sure they never have and never will find it amusing ....Nothing sanctimonious about my post whatsoever I don't know what your problem is nor have I saw the comment it seems admin saw fit to have removed being as they saw it as racist I can only imagine...Nice...Not

I really can't see why anyone would want to pee over a thread like this? There are so many other threads...why can't this just be left to those who want to discuss it?
