The Magdalene Laundry system, where young women who had 'strayed' and were sent for 'correction' allowed these 'sinners' to be enslaved, raped and physically and mentally abused on a regular basis, by the staff, by the clerics who oversaw them and, on occasion, by wealthy and influential 'benefactors' looking for 'fresh meat'.
The last laundry closed its doors in the 1990s.
It was not the 'occasional' priest who did the main damage, but the system which allowed them to practice and which protected them when they 'overstepped the mark'.
I wish I believed in hell so I could believe that's where they would all end up.
Perhaps if I believed in god I could blame him for letting it happen.
