HEY STAN, HOW ABOUT THIS - BEING TREATED LIKE A HUMAN BEING. In those times and in those places our jailors singled out certain people for their brand of "religious" invective. On many occasions this fell on a particular ethnic group within our country. Travellers. I remember with horror the treatment meted out to the Wards, the Conners and the Stokes. The nuns had a particularly nasty hatred for Travellers. I'm sure it was

We all had runny noses, anyone remember the chilblains and the way the tops of your fingers started to swell? The ringworm was fucking awful, not the fact that you had it but the s

A DAY IN THE LIFE>>>> DATE: 1962>>>>> Hard to know what time my day started at but as it was the Farmer priest who was calling me to serve mass I guess it was very early. Being able to tell the time in these gulags wasn't given any priority. We kind of went through our day too the sounds of bells. There were bells for every fucking activity. A bell to rous
WHAT THEY DO BEST:[LEGAL TIDBITS FROM THE WEB] The Christian Brothers have been employing legal stalling tactics and shouldn't comes as surprise to victims of Institutional/sex abuse. The Catholic Church's approach to dealing with allegations of abuse, and that legal stonewalling is a continuing fact of life for victims desperate to take on these religious orders.
