It Is Time for #MeToo in the Catholic Church in Ireland, Beginning with Pope Francis' Visit

My Irish cousin shared with me this week the abusive treatment she received at the hands of nuns  n a Magdalene home for unwed mothers in the 70's. She said she had to scrub steps when she was 8 months pregnant and had to wait years before she could be reunited with her son. She said it was a system of lies and deceit that broke her heart and brings back painful memories to this day. When Pope Francis comes to Ireland, she hopes to hear a sincere apology. It is time for a #MeToo Movement in the Catholic Church to end the practices and change the toxic teaching that has had devastating consequences in women's lives in Ireland and around the world.
