SCANDAL IN IRELAND’S CHURCHES

Thousands of Irish children were systematically abused for decades in homes and orphanages run by the Catholic Church.

An investigative report, commissioned by the Irish government in 2000 and recently released, comes to a terrible conclusion. Spiegel Online reported this on May 20, 2009. According to the report, between 1936 and 1970, and even later, more than 30,000 children passed through these houses of horror, labeled as Catholic homes for children.

And these crimes didn’t take place in 1 or 2, but in over 200 different homes and institutions. The children were, on the average, 8 years old. The commission personally questioned 1, 800 victims as witnesses.

The report speaks of systematic, physical, sexual and emotional abuse. “They were shoved, beaten, kicked, hit on the hands with sticks, beaten while hanging on a hook, sprayed down with cold water and beaten, stripped naked and beaten, chased by dogs..” The list of the tortures is just as long as the acts of sexual violence that were perpetrated on boys and girls for decades, “…in dormitories, cars, bathrooms, in the church, in the sacristy.”

The commission reported that sexual abuse was the order of the day and was endemic in homes run by the so-called “Christian Brothers,” in particular, that is, they were part of the system.

Oddly enough, the important evidence for cases of sexual abuse in the order of the “Christian Brothers” was found in the Vatican archives. Apparently, the Vatican knew about these cases. The report says that when complaints were made, the criminal priests were simply transferred to another home. At times, at least seven clerics lived out their sexual desires simultaneously in the same schools. Each reported abuse was treated as an individual case by the church and hushed up.

The report states that in part these crimes were part of the system.

To explain this, we need only look into the pope’s Bible. We can read in Proverbs chapter 22, verse 15: Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline drives it far from him.

Or Proverbs, chapter 23, verse 13: Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you beat him with a stick, he will not die.

And in verse14: If you beat him with the rod, you will save his life from hell.

No wonder, the big daily newspaper, the “Irish Times,” raises the question: “What role can we still concede to the Church in education?”
