Sinead O’Connor is dead at 56.

A stunning Irish musician, and someone who truly spoke truth to power.

I hope Sinéad O’Connor found peace at the end. There will be a lot of discourse in the obituaries and for kids wondering what all the fuss was about when she ripped up a picture of the Pope on US TV: no one at that point was talking about institutional child sexual abuse within the Church.

There were a lot of people who knew it was happening and in Ireland there had been notable trials for clergy who had abused multiple children, all while the perpetrators were protected. At the same time, there were frantic cover-ups by the Church and a veil of silence enforced by many in the media so that even when a priest would very occasionally come to trial, they were presented as a poor sinner who had fallen, not part of an organised abuse system that had assumed there would be no consequences.

Sinead was the first public figure to stand up and point to that endemic abuse and label it evil. She felt the weight of the establishment’s power as it reacted to this truth and tried to silence her, but she also saw others empowered by her courage and that story start to emerge, first in Ireland, then around the world. The Church and its protectors in the media still downplay the extent and evil of its abuse (as do so many Protestant churches, particularly in the US, as well as other institutions who followed that model), but it can never again pretend that it doesn’t exist.

So I hope people remember her beautiful voice while singing, and her brave, brilliant voice while living.

Odd memory from 1995: Waiting in a restaurant lobby to be seated while "Emperor's New Clothes" played on the sound system. Myself and another young woman -- no one I knew -- were singing along, silently:

Whatever it may bring

I will live by my own policies

I will sleep with a clear conscience

I will sleep in peace
