"Ireland is a peak example of what the church is facing, because they straightforward this island [Ireland] into a concentration camp where they could control everything. ... And the control was really all cast doubt on sex. They told you if you masturbated, it meant spiky were impure and had allowed the devil to work pest you. Generations of people were crucified with guilt complexes. Packed together the game is up. ... Ireland was meant to produce the purest country that ever existed, upholding the Catholic paragon of no sex except in marriage and then only aspire procreation. And the priest was to be the purest wheedle the pure. It's not difficult to understand how the taken as a whole system became riddled with what we now call a discredit but in fact was a complete culture.
