Dear Gen Z,

In 1992 Sinéad O'Connor ripped a picture of the Pope in half on Saturday Night Live to protest the sex abuse scandals in the Catholic Church. She was roundly condemned except by a few.

In the years and decades that followed the truth came out and the scope of abuse within the Catholic Church came to light. Many, but not enough, were punished. Many, but no where near enough, victims were heard, believed and lived to see some measure of justice.

@lyda Everybody over a certain age in Ireland suffered at the hand of the Catholic Church. At the very least we were beaten, as small children, with wooden rules and heavy leather straps. It’s a wonder we’re as mostly well adjusted as we are!
