I was coming here to mention this movie. It's one of my favorite movies of all time and explains why so many Irish people hate Catholicism. There were hundreds of thousands of teenage girls and young women stuffed into these asylums over the years, physically and sexually abused by nuns and priests. They were slaves.
I was just a kid when Sinead O'Connor went on SNL, and I didn't really get the significance of what she did. I just knew everyone said it was bad. In retrospect, she was brave and ahead of her time.
That movie haunts me to this day. I saw it with my mother many years ago thinking it was going to be a comedy. Needless to say, I was in for a real horrifying shock.
Just awful! And all those baby skeletons found buried in various church grounds. So sick. I think they were stealing the babies from the inmates of the Magda asylums and then sacrificing them to moloch or whichever demon they worship. Maddening!
She was sent to a Magdalene Asylum for 18 months where she witnessed and or was victim to abuse. I recommend the film The Magdalene Sisters. Awful!

I've met quite a few Irish with similar stories. Shocking.
One thing I would love to figure out is why me Irish are always targeted.
