Good one, Hanora, right on! One thing dyed-in the wool Catholics (clergy or not) are good at is saying one thing and doing the complete opposite. I thnk that's a form of psychosis, I really do! I am Irish, only because I happen to be born in Ireland, and I can tell you I am most definitely not proud to be Irish! Who in their right mind would be?!!! “Twisters of Mercy”!

She was not allowed use her own name which was Mary!! The nun, then proceed to patronise me by telling me how educated I was! Nothing changes in this country and unfortunately we have the vestiges of that era hanging on for grim death in case their power is eroded. Shame on you Ireland and as Portia says the world is watching. She was incarcerated in Sean Ross Abbey (now St. Ann's) in Roscrea in Tipperary. If you drive around the back you can still see the old machines rotting and rusting in the elements. I had a look around inside and I prayed fervently for those young women, some only children, like my mother, who were given a warped view on life by these twisters of mercy!!!

How aptly named- Magdalenes- based on the Patriarchal demonisation of the sacred female by the Catholic Cult church over 2,000 years ago. Thankfully men like you Paddy know of the real sacred male and feminine. The patriarchal church and state are still trying to keep the females as slaves. Too late, the whole world is watching Eire now. Brilliant.
