Letters to the Editor: Documentary casts an eye over our brutal past

Pray for our Sinners explored church abuse in the 1960s and 70s.

Viewing the documentary, Pray For Our Sinners brought back painful memories. I suffered corporal punishment also (as did virtually all of my classmates). Sadly, in my experience lay teachers were equally culpable. 

In contrast, having been taught by seven or eight priests in St Pats in Navan, the experience was much more agreeable. The late Dr Patrick Randles, the subject of Pray for Our Sinners, is deserving of great praise for his campaign against this vile practice.
