I generally hate getting into personal matters in forums like these, but I think this gets into some bigger, more important stuff, so here's an experiment.

I was 18 when Sinéad O'Connor tore up that picture of John Paul II on Saturday Night Live, and I was watching as it happened. It was a very complicated and conflicted moment. Like her, I had also grown up in an Irish Catholic household, I also had a violently abusive mom, I was also educated in church institutions and raised in a community where child abuse was a punchline often delivered from the pulpit, with laughing approval from the congregation. I was an incredibly fucking angry kid by that point in my life, and it was directed at the church more than any other institution. I was about as ready to agree with a fellow Catholic dissenter as a person could be. And still I found that stark gesture on national TV sort of confusing.

For those who didn't grow up in an abusive, theocratic environment, let's be clear: there's a kind of Stockholm syndrome that happens, particularly when you're a kid and you've just never experienced anything else. It's possible to reject an institution, recognize it as a source of enormous harm, and feel protective of it at the same time. It's not a healthy dynamic, but it's completely real, and I'll thank you to please not tell people they're wrong for thinking/feeling that way. Getting out -- or not -- is often a lifelong process and it's incredibly personal. Looking down on people for possibly having ambivalent takes on their own abuse is not as helpful as many people seem to think. And I genuinely can't think of a better example of that ambivalence in public life than Sinéad O'Connor.

Her relationship with the church was extremely complicated and I won't pretend to have a deep understanding of it. She seems not to have wanted to leave it entirely at the time, but rather thought it had gotten off on the wrong track at some point. When she was ordained in a sect that the church didn't recognize in the late 1990s, the apparent absurdity of a woman priest and the "fringe" status of the group she had joined were presented as evidence that she was just crazy and everything she touched was tainted by her madness. All she wanted was to be a priest. I don't get it personally, but it's hardly evidence of mental illness, even among Catholics.

By contrast, in the 1990s, I was ready to burn the church to the ground entirely, though I was still struggling with some theological issues in the early part of the decade. Institutionally, I found it completely unsalvageable, even if there were a God, even if Jesus really said and did all that stuff. As the child sexual abuse scandals emerged in one country after another, I only felt a growing sense of disgust, mixed with an unpleasant feeling of vindication.

When she tore up that photo on TV, it felt like she was waving at me personally, but at the same time, it came so out of left field and seemed so lacking in context that the kind of burning anger she was so clearly communicating -- an anger that I could 100% relate to -- was actually kind of alienating. I wasn’t only angry, but also scared and trying to keep my head down in a bad situation. What she had done seemed like such an open provocation that it was sure to make a target out of people who, like me, weren’t exactly the ideal type. (In point of fact, I was wrong about this. Where I lived, she had gone so far beyond the pale that it wasn’t even worth discussing. Also, in an immigrant family, it’s often hard to rail against someone from the old country who becomes an international success story. So it mostly became one more thing that no one talked about.)

In the backlash that followed, I think it was that fear that led me to sympathize with her detractors more than I would have thought. Many of them weren't Catholic at all -- just misogynists. Having been raised among anti-abortion fanatics, it was hard for me to see that at the time. Fish don't know they're wet, and humans generally don't recognize their own ideological assumptions. The entire world seemed to turn completely against her all at once, and it's hard to swim against the tide.

Ultimately, there are three characters in this story: Sinéad, me, and the Greek chorus of her haters. As in any decent Greek tragedy, no one is entirely unblemished by the end. The haters, of course, were just terrible -- cruel, bootlicking misogynists (fuck you, Joe Pesci) -- and there doesn't seem to be much in the way of redemptive qualities in their actions. I was a naif who just wasn't ready for the kind of dramatic, unapologetic statement that she made on TV that night, which is disappointing in retrospect, but not surprising. Still, if a message is that confusing even to people who agree with you, you might want to reconsider how you're saying it. I say this not as a critic, but as someone who by now has a few decades of activist experience, and who has at times failed to communicate my own actions and goals clearly, losing would-be allies in the process. That Stockholm syndrome part is no bullshit, and I definitely wasn't the only person who was on her side, but didn’t feel I could publicly back her up.

Sinéad is clearly the hero in all of this. Whatever nits I might pick about her messaging, she was ahead of her time and far more clear-sighted than I was back in the day. Ireland was still a country so deeply in thrall to the church that you couldn't even get legally divorced until 1995, three years after the Saturday Night Live incident. The horror of the Magdeline laundries for "fallen women" wasn't publicly recognized for what it was until a secret mass grave was dug up in 1993; no formal apology for literally centuries of systematic abuse was issued until 2013. And, of course, when she appeared on US television that night, the child sexual abuse scandals hadn't yet erupted in Ireland. That would blow up about two years later. So in 1992, a very public, all-out assault on a popular Pope was still largely unheard of both in Ireland and among Irish Catholics in the US.

More recently, the Republic of Ireland became the first country in the world to legalize marriage equality by popular referendum in 2015. Three years later, another referendum established a constitutional amendment legalizing abortion. It would be a crass understatement to say that the changes in the country’s relationship with the church have been dramatic. The scandals over sexual, physical, and emotional violence have been the primary reason for that, and they never would have gotten the attention they did without people who dared to raise the alarm. Sinéad O’Connor wasn’t the only person who did that, but she was one of the most prominent. She deserves massive credit for taking those risks and enduring the consequences.

To call her a canary in a coal mine would do her a disservice. In that metaphor, the canary issues a warning by dying. Sinéad lived for another few decades and kept making demands throughout. I feel guilty now for not having paid more attention while she was alive. I didn't hear her music on the radio nearly as much after Saturday Night Live, and I never pursued it (to be fair, that kind of pop music isn’t really my thing). But now I find myself wondering how much I was influenced in my late teens and early 20s by the people I should have trusted the least -- how much I took to heart the idea that she was just "crazy" and resentful, rather than a person with a valid, well considered critique. In retrospect, her tearing up that photo made a new crack in the facade of the church. I just wasn’t able to see who deep it went at the time.

Working through this stuff is, as I mentioned, often a lifelong process, and I'm sorry now that I didn't appreciate her more during her lifetime. My theological difficulties of 30 years ago have long since been resolved, and I don't believe in an afterlife. All I can do is try to do better for other survivors whose signals I can’t quite read at first. Working on it.
