    The one that confuses me, is the statement about the Irish.

      I guess you could say ask the Catholic church about Irish mother and baby homes. But the meme was doing nations.

        Blaming the Catholic Church is a good way to start but the argument that Irish people were led astray by the Church is pretty much the same argument as those who seek to divorce the Wehrmacht from complicity in SS atrocities. In both cases the answer is that they shared vital infrastructure with each other and ranking officials could have stopped the excesses, which they had full knowledge of, if they’d have disagreed with it.
