Sinead O'Connor, the Irish singer-songwriter, has been an outspoken advocate for survivors of child abuse and has called for a full investigation into child abuse by clergy within the Catholic Church.
Her activism in this area gained significant attention in the 1990s when she ripped up a photo of Pope John Paul II during a live appearance on Saturday Night Live in 1992. She did this as a protest against the Catholic Church's handling of the child abuse scandal, expressing her frustration and anger over the lack of accountability and justice for survivors.
Sinead O'Connor's actions sparked both support and controversy, but they brought attention to the issue of child abuse within religious institutions and helped initiate discussions about the need for transparency and accountability from the clergy.
It's important to note that activism and advocacy efforts can evolve over time, and I don't have information.
