when they back announced it, they said, that was teenage fanclub and everything flows from a catholic education
hilarious.
when you have had a catholic education (primary school, high school, but not much extra-curricular) i suppose it's a little hard to tell what flows from that, and what flows from life in general
nature, nurture or catholic education?
last weekend, there was a story on the radio (another station) about parents who had tried to give their daughters a catholic education, and what two of them had received instead was sexual abuse by the parish priest (father kevin o'donnell). o'donnell was eventually charged and pleaded guilty to various counts of abuse, and became the oldest man ever imprisoned in victoria
father o'donnell was the priest associated with my primary school. my sister remembers the principal being livid when she found out he'd been appointed to our school.
because of course, catholic church style, he'd been moved on to a new parish after the rumours got too obvious in his old parish. and apparently he practised his sexual abuse in every parish he was in.
i told my first confession to father o'donnell.
i remember when i found out about his behaviour many years later, and i wondered what on earth he thought of my innocent "sins". not much probably (i told him sometimes i didn't want to wash the dishes when my mum asked, especially if i was watching bugs bunny cartoons).
i'm lucky he wasn't thinking about getting me in the back of the sacristy, i suppose.
what a creep.
here's bugs
