In the wake of the child abuse scandal and now the enslavement of women in magdalen laundries, I’ve opened my eyes to religious institutions such as the catholic church. They are merely tools to attain power and control over the weak - where I was blind, now I see. I have cast off that great evil and embrace living my life for the first time. I am no longer a sheep, but a wolf.
I think this sounds better than the original

More liberating and celebratory, not unlike CMs post above
You may want to acquaint yourself with the works of Karl Marx. You seem to have coincided. Opinion-wise.
The founder and primary theorist of Marxism, the nineteenth century German sociologist Karl Marx, had an ambivalent attitude to religion, viewing it primarily as “the opium of the people” that had been used by the ruling classes to give the working classes false hope for millennia, while at the same time recognizing it as a form of protest by the working classes against their poor economic conditions.[1] In the end, Marx rejects religion.[2]
Which one mate? The revelations about child abuse within the Catholic Church go back to the early 90’s.
I blame REM.
The lot of them.
Having your own belief is one thing but to continue to blindly follow a morally corrupt institution such as the catholic church is surely no longer an option for anyone with a shred of intelligence or moral fiber.
You never really struck me as the most religious fella mouse?
Jupiter and Mars know the score.
That Bruno Mars knows nothing.

Washing machines Mickee. The women are enslaved in their own houses now doing the laundry for nothing.
fair enough , but back in the 50’ 60’s i presume our grandparents washed their own clothes, im sure the mode of operation was not to deliver them to the local convent.
i presume it was clothes from the priests , etc,
what was the recruitment process as well for the women?
were they recommended by their parents or what after they had a kid outside marriage or how did it work,

The woman on the radio this morning said their customers were mainly big operations like hospitals, universities, hotels etc.
thanks Runt, this same thing was been discussed on the BBC world service this morning as i was on my way to work
Have you checked under the couch cushions CM? I’m always finding missing things there
Haven’t read the report, but anything said in it about the parents of these girls who dumped them at the nuns door?
do you plan on obtaining a copy and reading it in full?
I am undecided. It’s on my to do list. It’s a long list mind you.
Yes. They were all Christians.
