child abuse in Ireland:
the investigation of the government accuses the Catholic institutions
"Thousands of cases. Cardinal Brady: I \u200b\u200bam ashamed
LONDON - Thomas Wall is now a man of sixty years and carries with it the nightmare of those days spent in the reformatory school run by the congregation of "Fratrum Christianorum ', the Christians Brother of Glin, Irish town on the River Shannon. In there everyday life was marked by the horrors. "I was a child and every day a bishop was abusing me. N o, there was no way to avoid it, was the same for everybody, around the clock, your privacy was violated. " And the children had to bow to the perversions of men of the Church or the larger company that had the 'supervision' night on the camera.
It happened also in other institutions in the county of Limerick , always under the banner of 'Fratrum Christianorum "whose motto is" and facere docere " do and teach. But what they did and taught was something horrible, disgusting. As well as other colleges in Ireland, for example governed by the "Sisters of Mercy" which works well for exchanging an absolute right of appropriation of minors imprisoned. Sadie O'Meara was a teenager: "I locked up a key in the evening, the food was lousy, there were bars on the windows, abuse me, I even said that my mother was dead." This was the rule: school camps, orphanages, camps.
A report of 2575 pages shock and the curtain rises on a gruesome scene in which "rapes, harassment and abuse were endemic. It lasted nine years of investigation commission headed by high court judge, Sean Ryan, and the end results reveal that the 'industrial schools' Irish for 35 000 children abandoned or in distress, deviant or without parents , a network of 250 institutes organized by Catholic religious orders for over half a century, until the firm closed in the Nineties, were the secret stage of cruelty "that were intended to cause pain and humiliation."
Hundreds of witnesses described the climate of terror and slavery. In a school in County Galway, remote, founded in 1885, three bishops for decades raged against the young. In another, the "St. Joseph" for the deaf in Cabra, superiors covered, even before the inspectors, the punitive raids on guests. You are reformers have welcomed Mr. John Brander, an educator. Only a facade. He was a serial sexual and physical abuser, "a violent maniac. Until it has completed the "career" in prison. And at St. Patrick's reformatory even kept a record of the diary of corporal punishment inflicted by the "religious staff." The institution controlled by the "Sisters of Mercy", County Waterford, boys and girls were malnourished, in return filled with alcohol.
A scandal that devastated the Catholic Church in the United Kingdom. Almost all the perpetrators of abuse and violence are guaranteed by 'criminal immunity "because the judiciary in 2004, on appeal from the congregations, assured the anonymity of the perpetrators. Now, church leaders call for forgiveness, promise clean sweep. The Primate of the Church of Ireland, Sean Brady, is explicit: "I am ashamed." The committee, which protects the victims of the violence commission discovered by rebels. "It's up to the pope to convene a special consistory to investigate the activities of the Catholic Church in Ireland."
