Magdalene Horrors in Ireland

[Fidel_Castronaut]

Philomena is a great book/film that explores these issues too which I'd recommend if you haven't come across them.

Indeed the horrors that occurred in these nunneries for 'fallen women'. That mass grave (in a septic tank I believe?) was what sparked a lot of Irish to turn their backs on the RCC once and for all.

Thanks for making the OP about this.
