Sinead O'Connor attacks Catholic church

Singer Sinead O'Connor has launched an attack against the Catholic church.

Irish bishops want their followers to help compensate children sexually abused by priests. The move comes after the Dublin archdiocese was rocked in November 2009 by the release of The Murphy Commission Report, a document resulting from a
public inquiry into allegations the Vatican had hidden child abuse by its priests between 1975 to 2004.

Following a plea from Dublin-based Bishop Denis Brennan to churchgoers, asking for help in paying £9.2 million in settlements to abuse victims, the singer has once again stepped forward to show her anger against the Catholic church.

In an open letter to several major Irish newspapers, O'Connor has written: "If Christ was here, he would be burning down the Vatican. And I for one would be helping him. How long do they expect us to restrain ourselves? We have put up with this bull dung for hundreds of years.

"A true Christian is someone who, in any given situation, is supposed to ask themselves what would Jesus do, then try to do that. How an organisation which has acted, decade after decade, only to protect its business interests above the interests of children can feel it has the right to dictate to us what Christians should do is beyond belief."
