   Very few people who condemned her then apologised.

   In your lives you will see people speak the truth. It might be uncomfortable. They might not do it "the right way." It will still be the truth. Meet their brash bravery with kindness and an open ear.

   Do better than we did. Not for us but for her.

     Dear Gen Z,

     In 1992 Sinéad O'Connor ripped a picture of the Pope in half on Saturday Night Live to protest the sex abuse scandals in the Catholic Church. She was roundly condemned except by a few.

     In the years and decades that followed the truth came out and the scope of abuse within the Catholic Church came to light. Many, but not enough, were punished. Many, but no where near enough, victims were heard, believed and lived to see some measure of justice.
