Reply #157: Catholics have spoken out about the most horrific aspects . . .

[defendandprotect]

the worst of course are the experiences of children in orphanages -- some labeled

"mentally retarded" -- and young girls whose lives were completely altered because

they were labeled "promiscuous" in some way and sent to "Madgalain Laundries" to work

for free for the church. Some of the many children who were abused by priests have

come forward -- most have suffered from these experiences all their lives.

Some of us have spoken of the craziness of the Catholic schools - and the nuns.

But, in general, Catholics haven't really spoken out about just the general unpleasantness

of the experiences as a young child being trained in Catholicism -- especially inside

a Catholic school.

Needs to happen --

And I speak as a recovering Catholic --
