It turned out all kinds of people, mg, indiscriminately. It didn't care so long as they were Catholics. Its function is the acquisition of wealth and power; everything else is secondary.

Earlier I said that I couldn't see how anyone with a conscience could continue to support such an organisation in the light of what has been revealed, although it was comically misunderstood in an attempt to discredit my point. Now I can see how, and they have my pity. I never fully realised the depth of control that a Catholic upbringing can facilitate over otherwise good and decent people.

I urge any doubters to visit the above YouTube link and hear for themselves what the Sisters of Mercy did to babies. The Catholic church had control, and the Irish people didn't.
