Don't know where you are meeting your Catholics that's if you even know any. The fact that they are Roman Catholic has no causative effect that they are warm loving caring compassionate people. Morality or knowing right from wrong does not come from any religion, despite what they have brainwashed you into thinking. I will acknowledge that the church has helped to provide services in this country, in education, in elder care, in intellectual disabilities, in medical. But this is because the state abdicated its responsibilities which is a national disgrace. The power that bishops and cardinals held over the politicians is a national disgrace. And all these services were provided within a religious ethos, that over rode the actual role that should have been carried out. That all the church gave its primary allegiance to some elderly celibate bloke in Rome and not to the state is telling,.and that they have had to be dragged screaming and kicking to account is telling. It's a common narrative amongst devout RC members in Ireland that abuse survivors were "only in it for the money". So forgive me if I'm sickened when you and your type try to dance on a pinhead over legalistic interpretations of whether a concrete tank was a septic tank. The FACT is that babies and children were put into it, without a so called "Christian burial" by the so called moral guardians of Ireland. Makes my blood boil that these organisations still have control in this country.

On his ministerial accession, McBride sent a telegram to Pope Pius XII offering: "...to repose at the feet of Your Holiness the assurance of our filial loyalty and our devotion to Your August Person, as well as our firm resolve to be guided in all our work by the teaching of Christ and to strive for the attainment of a social order in Ireland based on Christian principles".

But your country right now is a very different one to what it was like in the early 1980's, and even that was very different to what it was like in the 1950's. So thinking you can "freeze frame" the country as it is right now never works. We evolve and change all the time.
