Church involvement in education - then and now

I am really disgusted at the contents of the Ryan Report.
My heart was in my mouth reading about the abuse suffered by those poor, little children. I just don't know how they survived it. Many didn't.

I am very sad and mad as hell at the subsequent reaction of the so-called religious and also of our so-called Government.

I know that this is a very simplistic view, but children were abused in Ireland for decades because:

The State outsourced education and health care.

The State kow-towed to the church.

Has anything changed there?
No.
The church and religious still run education in this country.
They are still very involved in health care.
Woods and Ahern agreed to the shocking deal in favour of the nuns and religious.
Bertie taunted Pat Rabitte (when he questioned that deal) that he only wanted to get rid of the religious in Ireland!
Rabitte saw that as trying to ruin his reputation, and he was right, it probably did damage it.
The State is very deferential to bishops over education.
Many people are still scared of the church's power in Ireland.

I'm sick of the lies and rotteness, and more to come.

I have an idea to rid us of this rotten lot.
Seize everything they own (change the constitution if necessary).
Round them all up and send them to Haughey's island in Kerry - how appropriate! One screwed the country, the other screwed the country :-(
Let them do what they like to each other there.
Provide free counselling and care for the victims.
Keep the rest in trust for future cases, because this is not over yet.
Threaten FFers with the island too if they don't cop on pronto.
