The Pope to Philomena: 'We're truly sorry about everything that happened. We'd like to compensate you for all those years of slavery and reimburse you the money we made from selling your son.' If only!
She did not "give her child up"...unwed mothers were locked away, insulted and harmed she was restricted from her child for 3 yrs and then they took the child away. It was 1950..and it was still going on for many years even the Phoenix Az Catholic hospital and church in the 70's Chicago my aunt was tormented to the point they gave her electric shocks..............they were abusive and evil and even in the US they tried to force you to give up a child and got mad and punishing if you said no.
How I wish I could go back to talk to the nuns from my 2nd and 3rd grades. A few of us to visited the convent a few yrs ago, but the nuns had disappeared, gone into hiding. We simply wanted to ask 'why were you guys so cruel? What was your reasoning to be so cruel?'
When people consider themselves to be absolutely good and absolutely right, they give themselves license to do things that are absolutely bad and absolutely wrong.
The Pope must have opened the files the day after Philomena, went to the Vatican. This is unforgivable. and all the nuns that knew this, all the foster parents all the system should apologise to this naive and helpless young ladies, now grandmothers. Poor souls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How could a young girl know anything about life when here Mother passed when she was six sent away to live she sort the most natural of emotions someone to hod and love her . Shameful the catholic Church
A church that supposes to follow the teachings of Jesus, sure has done horrible things to people for centuries, when are they going to apologise to the world.
They will have to answer to God for what they have done,and very soon! As will ALL those who have done these things and think it is hidden or they have evaded punishment.
@@vanessalikesapples Jesus has already judged the catholic church.. They will be destroyed at Armeggedon. Every other Christian faith that makes a mockery of Jehovah God will die at Armageddon soon to happen. Churches that worry more about collecting money under the disguise of the thithe. Live in shameless luxury and get involved in politics. Jesus said that we must be separate from the world.. Yet the churches vote. They supposed to remain neutral..
I saw this movie when I had no one to compare her to. I still don’t think that I’ll be able to feel the pain that she felt, but now that I have a nephew about the same age and thinking of him be there breaks my heart, I’d go into a manic episode if if it happens to me. And to think she met the leader of the cult that did this to her and many other mothers and him being so shameless to see and stand in front of her, shame.
I think it is absolutely disgusting that this scandal ever happened and I say that as a devout and orthodox Roman Catholic. I definitely condemn the actions of the nuns who caused this to happen. But even though I was not affected by the scandal in a personal way, I do forgive them. I do hope that Pope Francis allows the adoption records to be opened so that the now grown up children can be reunited with their parents. I think that this action by Pope Francis would go a long way in healing the wounds caused to many by these grievous actions.
Fifi Smith that’s right!!! They also approved of what Hitler did to the Jews and got the nazis into South America through the Vatican ‘Rat Lines’. Also all the sexual abuse to children of either sex!
@@roder51 people like you are the fucking problem. Did you not watch? Did you not hear?Did you not learn anything?Dispute all she has been through Philomena herself has forgiven all those who have treated her so badly! In the film itself the actress Dame Judie Dench playing Philomena says about not wanting to hate other people and how exhausting it is!
In the Catholic faith, they revere Mary so much and yet they forget that she wasn't even married yet when she became pregnant. If they revere Mary, how come they didn't treat the unmarried pregnant girls with a shred of respect?
It didn't stop at these women they went on to have children and they was affected by life the story doesn't stop here!!! I know because I'm dealing with it. Being a child of a maddline mother
I was an adoptee of the Baby Scoop era. Now as a mother of two - I am endlessly enraged whenever I think on it. I have imagined what agony those young women endured. It tears me up. And the lost heritage of the children - our own histories locked away by strangers.
when I watched the movie - I cried and I watched the second time and I cried again ... I will not judge anyone, God will do it .. I would just like to hug a mom who had to survive this and yet she remained so strong and did not lose faith .. admirable , amazing and beautiful woman ... Philomena I believe that your son loved and felt you all his life and never forgot you. May you at least be warmed by the knowledge that you have given the world such a nice, hard-working, successful son , who has lived his life happily and successfully. Honor his memory . Love from Slovakia .
The book is heartbreaking and he really died without meeting her. As did alot of others in the uk and Ireland. The uk also had mother and baby homes. I think there was catholics versions in the usa as well

What about the discrimination against unwed mothers in India right now? Does that break your heart too. Is that due to a cult?

The catchphrase "immaculate conception" is all they need .

She is not a devoted catholic. She has stated that in interviews. Half of the shit reported here is lies
Devoted Catholic or not, what has it to do with you? Her life her reasons not yours!
She actually was a devoted catholic
