Republic of Shame: Stories from Ireland's Institutions for 'Fallen Women' by Caelainn Hogan

5.0

A devastating look into the history of the Catholic Church and its control of women & children in Ireland. As balanced a view as there can be on this topic, that highlights the repetitive refusals and silencing the Catholic Church hierarchy commits. Multiple religious figures in this story comment that the media and public have made up their minds on the truth. But they repeatedly refuse to cooperate with anyone, Caelainn Hogan or others. Hopefully, this book and the increased interest in history will continue to reveal more and bring their stories to justice.
