The mainstream media (and literally all of social media, too) using her death to pillory Catholicism, Catholics in general, and fucking Ireland, while simultaneously giving a full pass to her pretty extreme mental illness, and to Islam... Says a lot.
Yes, what happened to her as a teenager was horrific, but I don't think her mother sent her to an asylum of sorts just because she wanted to see her abused...
I think Sinéad was probably always barely sane, her mother recognized this, sent her to the "Magdalene Laundry" (yuck), that fucked her up considerably more, and then we all know much of the rest of the story...
Blaming Catholicism for all of that? Is a bit of a stretch, imho...
But anyway, RIP, you crazy, hypocritical, deeply confused woman. Hope you finally find sound peace.
