I have just finished reading Kathy’s story, it only took me 6 hours, I couldn’t put it down. After trying to get justice the nuns are denying that Kathy even stayed in their institutions!!! Even now when faced with what they’ve done they are still underhand and lying. I just hope that when they die God is just.

This afternoon I watched the movie “The Magdalene Sisters” on the Independent Film Channel. The movie left a disturbing impression on me and a great feeling of sadness for the poor girls that had to live in those types of convents. What suprises me the most though, was to find out that these convents were open until 1996. I do not see how these enslaving dungeons were kept secret for as long as they were. All I have to say for priests and the nuns that treated these young girls and women with such cruelty is that ” You will be judged “.

I just read a book by Kathy O’Beirne call Kathy – I had never heard of the Magdelene Sisters and found it unbelievable that this could happen to her in the 1960’s. How could this happen – and there was nothing wrong with her in the first place except a brutal and savage father. She went from reform school to magdalene Laundry to Assylum because she reported the priest for molesting her. I only hope that justice will be done and these poor souls will be helped to have a better life to help them repair the damage done in the name of religion.
