Personal negative dealings with the Catholic Church

From a contemporary article:

O’Connor, in a statement Thursday in London, reiterated her objections to the church, which she holds responsible for the child abuse she suffered.

The Vatican uses “marriage, divorce and in particular birth control and abortion to control us through our children and through fear,” she said.

So, even then, it is less specific than us commonly credited todays it was not about covering up child sex abuse.
