Ireland prepares for Pope visit amid Catholic abuse and adoption scandals
Вставка

- The last time a Pope visited Ireland, it was John Paul II in 1979. Almost half the population turned out to see him. Back then around nine out of ten Irish Catholics would attend weekly mass. Contraception, divorce and abortion were illegal. It will be a very different Ireland Pope Francis will visit this time. While there will be crowds, they're expected to be well down on 39 years ago, as scandal after scandal has taken its toll on the Church's moral authority.

The Magdalene Laundry records are sealed? Unseal them.
Unsealed them right NOW
Here in the UK there we have the Freedom of Information Act. The Republic of Ireland clearly needs something similar which would force these people to release their records.
Crimes against humanity.
The Church is sorry? Has it ever handed in a priest or a nun to the police for abusing a child?
Nope.
Actually a couple of priests did report offenses and were subsequently locked out of their churches and banished.
Not sorry at all I'd say.
That would be from the frying pan into the fire.
@@jannatkl91 Religion is the root of all evil in the world today, it divides us as a species and does not discriminate
The church practices devil worshipping and human sacrifices. They also practices human trafficking.
Mary Merritt is a hero. What a woman! Indomitable!
Conor Magahy Agreed.
Mary is evidence that even the strongest of people experience lifetime traumas because of the destructive treatment they received from the church. At her age I can't see her EVER resolving her fears. Imagine what those who were no so strong are experiencing.
Yes, I too hate the catholic church with a passion.
@Iqbal Mohamed
Absolutely not
Maybe she's a compo merchant?
@@newmove4378 me too//
The IRISH STATE acted hand in with them , I grew up in the 60s and the perfect church was the same as the TALABAN or That crowed in German in the 1940
What a brave, strong woman.
I'd like to hug this woman . I've been in a similar situation in my life . I'm sorry she's afraid of being locked up in her native (I assuming) Ireland .
@Iqbal Mohamed troll
How terrible till she was 30 years old all her life like a criminal. I am so sorry Mary.
I am so sorry to Mary and all the other lady’s who had to stay there Shame on the Catholic Church they should get money paid to them a lot of money to do as they please with they lost 30 years of there life’s and there children what the evil of the church
Well done Mary, I'm happy to see that you are a true survivor.
Indeed, it happened at Tremough Convent in Cornwall where I went to school.
@Iqbal Mohamed troll
Decent piece of Journalism. Keep doing what you are doing Channel 4.
May love and light be with you Mary such an inspirational woman xxxx
How incredibly insulting of the church to think an apology is enough!
Tear it up again Sinead!!!!
The church, the gaurds , the government , their own parents who gave them over to the church.. They should all be hold countable! God love them no one deserved a life like this! Poor woman even now she weeps at night. What a horrific story and this is only one of many women. An apology won't do it how can you get over something like that is beyond me. I live in Ireland and to think this is the history of our country is just shameful.
Not just your country but countries across the globe.
newmove Yes I know.
This dame abuse is occurring all across the world in all religions and cults. Unfortunately, our government turns it’s head in the name of religious “freedom”. We need to change laws and make new laws in our Countries to protect our citizens from the religions abusing children emotionally, physically, and sexually. We also need to protect our citizens from being victimized and exploited medically and financially from TV televangelists. Just listen to the religious sponsored networks impose their religious beliefs on its viewers. Look how the alt right has aligned with racist to divide the citizens in the United States!
Mary you are a strong woman Well done standing up for yourself as a adult
Mary your just beautiful! Your spirit is very strong sadly probably stoked by the jailers of the Magdalene laundry. An absolute disgrace to Ireland sadly x
Mary Merritt- what a woman.
I don’t trust that reverend one bit.
Mary Merritt a warm hug goes to you. We keep you close and keep healing the world with your history.
WOW! This must be unsealed. This must stop. When it is hidden, the abuse is continued by hiding what happened. That is another abuse.
What a bs excuse the nuns gave in their statement
If the church has changed why can't old nuns say where the children's bodies are
I don't think the abusers do believe in God. They believe in power, control and corruption.
I don’t understand how it was legal to incarcerate these women?
Well it was in Ireland because it’s so religious
Brilliant woman
The academics want to turn the laundry at Sean mc Dermot street into another place where middle-class people can go and stare at the working-class poor - ie. a museum - on the weekend. Whilst I understand that what happened to these women (mostly working-class) was pure evil, I think it's important to not allow the academics at TCD and UCD etc. to appropriate this issue and tell the rest of the nation what 'should' be done with the site. The homelessness problem is this country needs to be addressed. Why can't the space be given to an organisation which is trying to end homelessness?
You mean to do something it was always meant to do but never did. Makes sense to me. Mind you, with a history like that I would not stay there, maybe if I'm desperate, I dunno!.
This movie is one that made me cry. Living in Belfast and grew up all my life here. I couldn’t picture my granny having to go through this.
Reparations for all these women
I can't seem to find online whether the archives were unsealed. Can anyone advise?
She is an amazing person. Mary, you are a true inspiration. Shame on the Catholic Church for how they abused you so much and treated you as their slave. I hope they meet their hostile maker, one and all.
An apology is all these women need for closure to others. The victims should sue the Irish government and Vatican.
This lady is a saint, not like those liars in government. I know. I am adopted and came from one of these places.
HOW COULD FAMILIES AND THE CHURCH BE ALLOWED TO COMMIT THESE GIRLS PASS THE AGE OF 21.
That’s what I want to know.
I honestly no a person that was there and had a child taken from her ..she never came out because she was to ashamed and what people would say ..to this day she keeps it to her and never went about anything
Roman Catholic Church destroyed the Druids in Ireland using a criminal called Patrick to murder all the Druids, The RCC honoured him by giving him a Sainthood; that is why there's St. Patrick Day today.
* a day in honour of a murder
It’s quite possible she was stolen from her mother just pointing that out
i Believe in God but i do it in the safety of my own Home , no church should be rich on the back of poor people .
Michael Kelly of the Irish Catholic in his interview tried to spin it that over 750,000 people would turn out for the papal visit in Ireland. Lets deal with an indisputable fact. 500,000 tickets were issued for the papal mass (which took place in the park behind him), only an estimated 130,000 turned out. The papal visit was designed to coincide with an international Catholic event which drew about 20,000 visitors from around the world, to Dublin.. So if that event hadn't been held, the figures for the papal visit, would've been actually far less.
Babies left in septic tanks, horrific abuse and still unwilling to unseal the documents!!!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
The Pope isn’t good. These beautiful people deserve inner happiness. Self forgiven due to the unconditional of Mother and Father God.
Channel 4 being realistic!! who would of thought. lets hope they carry on reporting REAL stories around the world.
If the Roman Catholic church are truly repentant, please let us all out here see verifiable full-proof evidence that this is indeed the case? No half hearted excuses!
I REMBER MY GRANDMOTHER HAVEING A DUNNER PLACE 4him of a Sunday and the front STEAP BAK. 2it original colour grey/////O MY GOD A PRISTE HAD SO MUCH WAT HE SAID IT HAPPNED hsaid ihis LIFE BAK THEN WAS SO SWEET TO THEM THEY WARE STILL YOUNG PRIESTS/BLESSINGS TO U ALL🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍😷😷😷🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Corruption and control and abuse are ingredients of ALL religions. Believe in God and find love and goodness within yourself.
The abusers believe in god, didn't change them much did it.
Prove they believed in God.@@newmove4378
WELL DONE MARY KEEP TELLING YOUR TALE AND WE WILL SMASH RELIGION
Yes I hope she does shout loud her story shame on the evil church
Well done Mary ❤
New level.
end celibacy of the clergy
Absolutely disgraceful to believe this could happen in such a Catholic country I so much love so saddened by it all
Only 8 thousand views.sad!!
Mary and all the survivors should have reparations so they can receive treatment for the trauma they received. Mary still having nightmares reveals PTSD which can be helped by professional care.
People can have a relationship with god without going through the middle man of the church or any religion.
I hope Science, knowledge, goodness, kindness, tolerance and love takes over the world one day. If you have a spiritual relationship with God or a Fairy, good, you should be allowed to find inner peace but religion and state have to be separate, always. I pray to a God because it helps me gain inner peace but I don't force it on others. I'm Muslim by the way and hate countries that implement the Sharia law.

Free agency? Such a lie.
20. Either you are a Christian and you follow the prophet that the Lord Jesus-Christ has sent in your time or you remain home. You cannot be a Christian today unless you follow Kacou Philippe, the prophet that God has sent for your time. [Ed: The congregation says, Amen!].As at the time of Noah, you could not be a Christian unless you follow Noah the prophet that God had sent for your time. You see? Stop to be Catholics, Protestants, evangelicals and Branhamists. Stop to follow the devil and come to God through His living prophet. Because John 6:28 says that the work of God is to believe in him whom He has sent.
The Pope has the Power to change this. Will a Pope stand up for the people????
That was the devil in the church
If anyone can go into a church then there is nothing in the church since anyone can go in. - Jiddu Krishnamurti - There is no authority there is only learning
The church almost eliminated the native population of Canada with the blessing of the British Crown. The Queen herself was responsible for the kidnapping and disappearance of many native children.
You ain't going to get it
What's the pope going to do ?.Has he done anything about Catholic priests interfering with children in current times yet?
THIS IS WHY RELIGION PISSES ME OFF ABSOLUTION I CAN DO WHAT I WANT AND GET FORGIVEN FOR IT
Religion is soooo great.
Catholic church is not a bad church
Churches were for tall ships anyway
I have spirituality. Cant really do religion
I am a devout Catholic and my faith isnt the fallen nature of man. It's in Christ and his apostolic succession

10. This Message says that Islam, Christianity and Judaism are the three spirits of frog in Revelation 16:13. These three religions claim to be of Abraham. These three religions believe in Moses. These three religions do not believe in living prophets but each claims to be of a prophet that it did not know. Each of them has its own holy book. And all three are waiting for the Messiah. They are the three spirits of frog in Revelation 16:13. This Message says that they are the same demons that raised up Elvis Presley, Bob Marley, James Brown, Madonna, Papa Wemba that have raised up, today, those Christian groups and singers like Tabitha Lemaire, Don Moen, Exo Eclats, Yolanda Adams and Celine Dion...

YOUR NOT A MAN OF GD! YOUR NOT A MAN OF GD REPEATED 7X "excerpt from the movie the magdeline sisters.

But they still put her in a asylum where she really became mentally ill then died. She had a son who was raised by her sister
Read Psalm 37 in its entirety: FRET NOT BECAUSE OF EVILDOERS...
U can't comfort people who've endured religious atrocities with more religion
Catholics of Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤️ trust in the Lord, the priests are all human let God 🙏 judge them ,the Catholic Apostolic Church itself is Holy .All those who had suffered , l feel greatly sorry 😞 from the bottom of my heart ❤️ and pain with tears 😢 for all the lrish people as a whole because there were so many lrish sisters and Priests in our town during my school days.They were very pious and helpful to us .We missed them when are gone 😪 and left us.Our memories of their good works in our parish remain with us forever grateful. 💙 Some of their names l can still recollect, such as Father Patrick Barnes his brother whose final ordained was held in our Cathedral Of Mary Help of Christian, his name Jim Barnes and their sister from the congregation ofR. N. D.M. and many others Mother Decklan. Mother Bryan,Mother Teresa etc.cannot mention them all because they were so many of them ,helping our State with education. People of lreland forgive them all for the suffering of our Lord Jesus 🙏 Christ and you shall receive your rewards in heaven. Please forgive me if I am not pleasing 🙏 you all.Amen.From North East lndia ,Shillong, Meghalaya.
The Teacup the Irish president is Hindu or similar I heard.
Julie Muppetexposer Did you mean the Taoiseach- Leo Varadkar? Our president is Michael D. Higgins- ceremonial role only- bit like your queen.
Also Varadkar was raised Catholic- and like many of us is now lapsed
Of course Patricia thank you
20. But bear in mind that the restitution will have no significance but when our faith turns to that of the Apostles, that is to say to the faith they had in John 6. Not an apostolic faith but a prophetic one. Jews have the living prophet as their absolute …

Keep the devil out of the church lord 🙏🙌🙏🙌🙏
The church is the devil
⏳️🌏🌎🌍⌛️⚖️ 🕎
JESUS is the reason i will remain a catholic Irishman not evil people in the church i thought as catholics you were meant to keep the commandments .
A sensational report that serves to undermine the dignity of all its participants. An ocean of difference with how this raw issue is handled by the BBC and RTE. Channel 4's drive by clickbait reports are not the journalistic standards we are crying out for
Babylon the great Harlo that joined with the state mentioned in Revelation can’t wait to see the destruction of all false religion that gives our Heavenly Father a bad name at Armageddon bought by the great God Jehovah himself . Jesus said of these kind of people Get away from me you workers of lawlessness
@cb They've been covering it for the past few decades, with greater care, research and airtime than this 14 minute drive by
I have compassion for you. But come on let go the little girl within. You should know at this age your an adult. You will not be locked up if you go to Ireland. That's child talk attention. I'm sorry. But you are a grown adult. Dont let the church fear you, you were abused enough without walking with fear to this day. Be strong walk with strength. And know you choose this time not to be abused again. In no way will you be locked up if you go to Ireland it's 2018, not 1718. Lol. I watched the magdalean sisters it was brutel the nuns and priests abusing. And controlling shocking movie so so sad. Thank God it's changed but just about only in the 90 s. Which wasn't far of when they were still at it abusing and controlling. Head and chin up lol 😁 lol 😁 lol
Why bashing catholic churches? History teaches many wrongdoing by many, but highlighting and singling out has an agenda.
