    Why didn't he just go to the Gardai?

    This sounds like the kind of story you couldn't make up. A guy breaks up with his girlfriend and goes to a priest for solace, then gets sexually abused. Then he goes to another priest, same story, then to another ...

    Methinks he went way past the point where any sane person would have thought: "I'll be buggered if I ever go near a priest again!"

    Didn't the fellow ever hear of the Garda Siochana? Or the media?

    The sooner people stop putting these witchdoctors up on a pedestal the better. What could a priest tell you about getting over a relationship breakup, or relationships at all, nada. Sounds like your average clerical abuse of the weakest. Although the man being 20 makes it unusual, it's not at all surprising.

    Was there weaponry involved, or how was a young man overpowered individually by each of them?

    +1 on the witchdoctors

    Don't think shooting is a solution, freeing the mind from any influence they have would make them all irrelevant. Notwithstanding, of course that for many families the only education available is church influenced.

    I broke up a girl when I was twenty. I went to Amsterdam for a break. Whilst there I sought solace from a prostitute who not only used me sexually but also charged me for the privilege. So I went to another, with the same result. And then another. I lay my life of pain at the door of these ladies.
