The Catholic child abuse scandal has hit no country harder than Ireland, and we should know. BlatantWorld.com is run by Irish staff, and we have been witnessing the growing realisation amongst the population here, that widespread abuse has indeed been committed in the name of religion throughout our nation. Since the 1950's, successive Irish governments and the police force have helped to cover up the massive amounts of abuse by members of the clergy. Most of this cover-up was done through 'keeping with tradition', and many cases would have seemed like isolated incidents to officials involved, but many high ranking clergy were fully aware of the scale of the problem. This show is mainly based around what has happened in Ireland, with abuse survivors stories featured, but it also looks at the way in which high ranking church officials continue to cover up this scandal - including Pope Benedict XVI, and leader of Ireland's Catholic church, Cardinal Sean Brady. One very interesting point which this program discusses, is that when clergy abused children whilst working within society as a parish priest, they were then moved to industrial schools, and those high-walled industrial schools ended up housing a massive concentration of abusive priests. And, not only were the kids in those schools in constant fear of abuse, they were also used as modern day slaves in the school's industrial factories.
