    A society or state that can’t or won’t look after it’s vulnerable people,young or elderly,cannot call itself civilised full stop-no amount of tribunals,inquiries,or so called laws will change that fact-period….

    My late granny like thousands of other devout catholics was really shook by all of these exposes, but oddly enough it was the bishop Casey and Michael Cleary revelations which seemed to really knock her faith in the church. She’d met both of them a few times and really respected them. I don’t think she ever got over the fact that they were such hypocrites
