Magdalene Horrors in Ireland

[God of Mr. Hanky]

This isn't current news, but I feel that it deserves a reopening in light of the evils which we have recently seen with how Christians treat their own children. In 1993, a mass grave was discovered where one of the Magdalene Laundries of Ireland was still operating. Generations of children were not just abandoned to work there for life as slaves by their families, they were erased! Magdalen laundries existed all over Ireland through the 20th Century, they were most active in the 1950's - 1980's, and the church pocketed much money from their operation. In 2013, the Irish government finally demanded compensation and an apology for the victims from the church for this crime which it committed against humanity, and to this date the Vatican has refused to do either.

The wiki mentions a movie which was released in 2003 - I saw this, and recommend it highly.

The first time I read about this Catholic slave camp for women, I felt sick and disgusted for days to know that I am descended from that culture, despite my understanding of geographical influences and the pressure which chronic foreign dominance had empowered that church with, more so than with any people anywhere on this earth. Magdalene laundries are a shining example of just how harmless a religion, when and where it has the power to good or evil, always chooses to do more evil than good.
