The Heavy Hand
editComing here I am rather astounded at the emphasis, and sole focus of abuse, being the sexual atrocities. Though neither a Brother nor a pupil of such, the overwhelming impression in Irish memoirs is a relentless brutality used as ordinary discipline by the Brothers, beyond those in most scholastic establishments in the first half of the 20th century, leading to mixed feelings towards them and schooling generally.
However horrible the weird sexual abuse [ by celibates, no less ]; people who don't like being hit must find these practices equally obnoxious.
