she is a widow
is baintreach í
She is more worried about the opinion of the neighbours than her own daughter
Tá sí níos buartha faoi thuairim na gcomharsan ná faoi leas a hiníne féin
She is a hypocrite because she didn’t show christian charity, pity or a mother’s love when her own daughter was in trouble.
Níor léirigh sí carthanacht chríostaí, trua ná grá a máthar nuair a bhí a hiníne féin i dtroiblóid.

I raised her credibly and Christianly
‘thóg mise í go creidiúnach agus go críostúil’
There was a strict system of going to Mass every Sunday and frequent confessions and the priests were in the habit of publicly criticizing people from the pulpit when they were not seen to be fulfilling their Catholic duties
Bhí córas docht daingean ann maidir le dul ar Aifreann gach Domhnach agus ar fhaoistin go minic agus bhí nós ag na sagairt daoine a cháineadh go poiblí ón bpuilpid nuair nach bhfacthas dóibh go raibh na dualgais chaitliceacha á gcomhlíonadh acu
The state and the Church were working hand in hand to promote Catholic morality in this country
Bhí an stát agus an Eaglais ag obair as lámh a chéile chun moráltacht Chaitliceach a chur cinn sa tír seo
Mary sinned against the church, against God and against the community.
Pheacaigh Máire in aghaidh na heaglaise, in aghaidh Dé agus in aghaidh an phobail.
