Mary McAleese said that the report into mother-and-baby homes had tremendous compassion
Former president of Ireland, Mary McAleese, said the report by the Commission of Investigation into Mother and Baby Homes showed the Catholic Church was most complicit in what happened. The Church was most complicit, alongside a subservient State, she told RTÉ s Brendan O Connor programme.
She said the commission s report showed how easy it was to sacrifice women and children to narrow, ludicrous notions of sexual morality. All the Christian churches are implicated in the report but the Catholic Church imposed a culture of fear among uneducated people.
