        I saw Mr. O'Brien's original recounting of his experience live on Irish T.V. I've never been able to forget it. Shocking n disgraceful. #standfortruth.

        As an Irishman,the damage the priests caused to our population is untold.The constant belittlement of humans,the control,the scare tactics and not least taking advantage of our good folk who knew no better bcoz that’s what the Catholic Church told them.our scars.

        Why? Because "killing the messenger" seems to be easier than confronting & dealing with the 'message.'

        The state IS paedophilia/the church itself IS vile to core. Doesn't get much more serious than paedos surely! Deserves more than 'lukewarm reception' in Ireland - church should be disbanded. Italy, Albania, Ireland '& church taking in migrants' changes nothing/its smokescreen.

        This is awful! We need to prosecute those that harmed children, and the Catholic Church should be “re-visited”, re-vamped! Not sure how that’s done but time for a major overhaul!

        subtitling him as though his grammar is incorrect is a bit odd - eg he says "some of them weren't gods ..", but he has been subtitled as "wasn't gods..."
