A person who experienced abuse as a child in a catholic church run institution expresses his outrage. The recently released Ryan Report declared that physical and sexual abuse was endemic in catholic run schools and orphanages throughout Ireland. Although the report provided vindication for the survivors, it is unlikely to provide justice. The catholic church did everything in it’s power to prevent this report from seeing the light of day, and it appears that any abusers who are still alive will never be charged with a crime.
In an amazing statement, the Archbishop of Westminster, the Most Rev Fuckwad Vincent Nichols, actually makes the abusers out to be heroes for having the courage to face these allegations, saying
I think of those in religious orders and some of the clergy in Dublin who have to face these facts from their past which instinctively and quite naturally they’d rather not look at. That takes courage, and also we shouldn’t forget that this account today will also overshadow all of the good that they also did.” guardian.co.uk
No wonder this guy is so angry.
