🎧 A short listen but no less impactful. It’s horrifying to see the hold the Catholic Church had on society and still to this day in certain instances. There isn’t a person that isn’t familiar with the Magdalene Laundries and the atrocities that took place behind there doors. To think people were aware but again that hold was too powerful and the fear of the wrath of the church too much - “the church have many fingers in many pies”. This is a heartbreaking listen but beautiful at the same time. I just wish there were more people like Bill.
