    Good posting PaulB

    Hope fully life in Ireland and the Church have moved on from those dark days.

    I fail to understand why there are no prosecutions????

    Although brought up by devout Catholic parents and attending an all boys Catholic Grammar school I never witnessed any abuse other than a damn good flogging which to be honest most of us deserved!!!

    I also attended a Franciscan Monastery in the early 70s where I considered the option of doing 3 years as a Brother before going into the service.It wasn't for me but again I was only shown kindness with no hint of any 'hows your father eh up missus' behaviour.

    Maybe I was lucky but there are still a lot of Priests and Nuns who dedicate their life to God and helping others less abled than us who deserve praise.So although the recent publication has highlighted grave wrong doings in the church we should try not to tar them all with the same brush.
