Sinead O’Connor reveals her torment after she was sent to a Magdalene Laundry

Some of you folks are still living in the Egyptian river. The Roman Catholic Church is still in de Nile. It wasn't that long ago a member of the church hierarchy blamed the children. I suppose you think it is Sineads' fault the children, teens, and adults were treated the way they were. Another story today in the news is the ruling a judge made to have church documents made public. After that happened, one church official was reprimanded, his assistant resigned. This only took place because it was publicized and the documents clearly showed the church officials were fully aware of the contents. How much more written information is still not destroyed that could show the church hierarchy systematically raped and molested children and covered it up. The continuing crime is that there are ranking members of the church fully aware of the documents contents and have taken no action. Just imagine how much documentation has been destroyed over the years to protect the degenerates. Scum of the earth.

O'Connor is speaking truth about what goes on in these places. Particularly insidious is the fact that people do not believe the torment is true. As a survivor myself, it is heartbreaking that people ridicule the survivors, so.

Never a shortage of ignorant anti-Catholic bigotry on this blog. The infantile spitefulness and cowardly act of O’Connor ripping up the JP II photo, as she made clear, had to do with his opposition to infanticide, a popular pursuit for those self-worshiping secularists interested in “revolutionary change” by exterminating inconvenient lives. Offering resistance to mass-murdering revolutionaries tends to set them off. If only it would inhibit their carnage.

Are there any tragic circumstances that Sinead O Connor has not been involved in? Its amazingly unbelieveable!

According to herself that would be 1981 when she went there. I can't believe it was that bad then. I think it's a cheap attempt to get some news time on the back of the children who really suffered.

Well said eiriamach

Attention-junkie

In 1992, Sinead was a pioneer in exposing the criminal coverup of sexual abuse of children when she tore up a photo of Pope John Paul II on SNL TV. On Feb. 1, 2013, Cardinal Mahony of L.A. was still making excuses for his aggressive role in the same coverups. He wrote on his blog, "Nothing in my own background or education equipped me to deal with this grave problem. In two years [1962—1964] spent in graduate school earning a Master’s Degree in Social Work, no textbook and no lecture ever referred to the sexual abuse of children. While there was some information dealing with child neglect, sexual abuse was never discussed." A NY Times editorial pointedly asks how much education it takes "to recognize criminal child abusers for what they are." With the mental health issues and personal traumas Sinead O'Connor has experienced, she has been accurate, to the point, and unhesitating in drawing the public's attention to the horrors of child abuse criminality, and she has done it all out of compassion for the children. I am inclined to look on her quirks and idiosyncrasies with compassion and with unstinting admiration for her moral courage.

hope it didnt effect the rest of them as bad as her,loony tunes.

She looks happier in the picture. I hope she's feeling better.

Niall, a few months ago you promised to leave that mad woman alone and not give her antics any more publicity. You are great at changing your mind for any expediency

This lying self promoting female can not produce any evidence she was ever in a Magdalene Laundry . For the record the Magdalene Laundries provided food , refuge ,shelter for outcasts of society not looked after by the State .They were not all abused or illtreated as consistently reported ,and it was the only refuge available to them .There is no logic or credibility in all the wild propaganda , this was Ireland of 60 years ago ! These conditions exist today in most Muslim countries ! Why we tolerate being insulted by a gobshite like OConnor I can not understand ? She would not tear up a photograph of the Pope in my presence and get away with it !This would not be a religious reaction ,but a repudiation of all she and her like represent !!!
