I don't know about the priests, but I've recently decided that The Irish are my second most favorite tribe on earth (coming in a close second to The Mexicans).

I was talking to my father about this last night and he was explaining to me the environment in which this abuse happened.
Basically the sexual abuse - just about the most horrific thing that could be visited upon a child, was just one type of abuse - far more common was the violent physical attacks that teachers, both lay and religious, inflicted on the kids. Teachers routinely beat the living hell out of kids. We're not talking a smack of a cane on the arse, we're talking beatings - body punches and black eyes on defenceless kids who did nothing to deserve it. Ireland was a sick, sad society and the fact that the Christian Brothers have somehow wormed their way out of prosecutions stemming from this inquiry seems to indicate that it still is. After we got independence this country turned in on itself and the Catholic Church and State colluded in allowing this to go on. My father who is now closing in on 60 now says that everyone knew what was going on, everyone - he was aware of it as a child. But it continued and nobody said stop. He told me the story of a little kid who grew up in his small village. Unfortunately for the child, he was born out of wedlock - and his mother went on to marry a man who hadn't fathered him. So, the kid was an outcast not just in the family but in the community and wound up literally having to sleep outside the family home in a barn. He routinely had to endure senseless beatings from teachers because he was "illegitimate". Because of the precedent set by the teachers and other adults in the community, he also had to endure regular beatings by kids. Being so vulnerable, he inevitably wound up being preyed on by a paedophile and raped. So - this abuse which was endemic throughout the country wasn't just due to the church, it wasn't just a failure by the state - everyone was implicated and these kids were not protected. My father understandably has very little time for politicians who were active at the time. A sick society.

just like the US troops
The real reason behind Obama’s reversal of a decision to release the torture photos has been almost completely ignored by the corporate media - the fact that the photos show both US and Iraqi soldiers raping teenage boys in front of their mothers.
The Obama administration originally intended to release photos depicting torture and abuse of detainees in Afghanistan and Iraq by the end of May, following a court order arising out of a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit first filed by the ACLU in 2004. However, a reversal of Obama’s decision was announced this week, after he “changed his mind after viewing some of the images and hearing warnings from his generals in Iraq and in Afghanistan that such a move would endanger US troops deployed there,” according to a Washington Post report. In response, the ACLU charged that Obama “has essentially become complicit with the torture that was rampant during the Bush years by being complicit in its coverup.” The Obama administration has also sought to protect intelligence officials involved in torture from prosecution at every turn. The primary reason why Obama is now blocking the release of the photos is that some of the pictures, as well as video recordings, show prison guards sodomizing young boys in front of their mothers, both with objects as well as physical rape. This horrific detail has been almost completely ignored by the establishment media in their coverage of the story this week, despite the fact that it’s been in the public domain for nearly five years, after it was first revealed by investigative Seymour Hersh during an ACLU conference in July 2004.
Hersh’s contention that minors were raped by prison guards while others filmed the vulgar spectacle is backed up by a leaked Abu Ghraib memorandum highlighted in a 2004 London Guardian report, in which detainees Kasim Hilas describes “the rape of an Iraqi boy by a man in uniform”. The testimony was also part of the military’s official Taguba Report into the torture at Abu Ghraib.

A sick society....
Society is a good word. No one is Innocent in these situations. This is abhorant as slavery, the Vietnam war or anything happening right now in Africa...
