How the Catholic Church Hid Away Hundreds of Irish Children | Times Documentaries 

George Job have you read Charlotte keckley testimony?

I don't know how anyone would want to be Catholic after everything that has come out into the open

Deborah's Backwoods Studio Why should the mistakes of a few dictate what others should believe in. Few priests commuted pedophilic acts so you’re saying that 1.2 billion people should relinquish their faith?

That's a pity because the majority of Catholic religious and Catholic institutions are not abusive. I suffered incest in my family and if I followed your line of logic, the words family and children in one sentence would always make me suspicious. I think you can understand how silly it is to view the world too subjectively. I can indeed assure you that abuse takes place in families at a rate that is at least that of abuse in the Church and remains far less accountable. People love an external demon, they are not so happy with one within. Evil occurs everywhere but mere observation is enough to prove good and decent behaviour is still more prevalent than evil. Unless you believe that a majority of families are more wicked than good, more dangerous than safe?

@@deborahsbackwoodsstudio1369 Jesus was betrayed by one of his own,Peter denied him three times!!

And, that's what abortion does through trickery for money.

But many pregnant girls were forced to by their parents.

@@michelledax4083 that's the woman's choice though is'nt it?

Naomi Klassen you mean like what's currently being done in the U.S?

Michelle Dax don't you mean that's what "enforced pregnancy" does? When abortion is illegal and women are unable or unwilling to care for these enforced pregnancies their babies are borne and are uncared for, and starve to death or are sold to child traffickers, thrown in a landfill after being used and murdered? Is that what you meant?

There is a section in the cemetery where my great grandparents are buried that is unbabtised babies are buried. Just heartbreaking.

A vile and ugly organization. I refuse to call it a religion.

The one that is really "unholy" is the religious dictator and sexual oppressor who blasphemously calls himself the Pope. He deserves the grandest marked grave, next to Stalin and Hitler. The rot starts at the top and he bears a great responsibility for these horrendous crimes.

i please report this they will have to remove concrete and do ground penetrating radar GPR thi is our duty to those who our society betrayed in the past.

When my first child was born we didn’t get her baptized within the 6 weeks that my Catholic sister in law thought was mandatory. She told me that if our baby died she wouldn’t go to heaven. She shunned our kids after that, it’s just sick. Who made these sick rules. Babies and people are not disposable.

My experience was in schools with religious and lay teachers under religious management. The lay teachers could be more vicious than the religious teachers and were not controlled regarding corporal punishment in any way. My parents had to confront them many times regarding their overuse of corporal punishment.

@@jgdooley2003 Nice try to defend rotten Church, but you failed.

@@tgstudio85 Not trying to defend the Church. Its big enough to defend itself. My main conflicts both witnessed and suffered were with lay teachers who should have been under firmer control as employees of both Church and State regarding abuse of corporal punishment, which was legal at the time.

@@jgdooley2003 Teachers are way more controlled by government then priests, secondly government don't hide cases of pedophile teachers but send them straight to prison, not like Catholic Church to retirement or move them to other church. Did you catch this difference?

How do Orthodox priests compare to Catholic priests in terms of cruelty?

candy cane I wouldn't mind, the women never made any mistakes...they were just demonized

candy cane l agree a man hooks up with girl gets a pat on bac k a girl usually gets called atart or-------other not nice words

@@cherylrundle1320 as a man I want to say we are not all like that, I loved my mother dearly and I like children they just slay me with their little inquisitiveness and their innocence until they turn into teen agers lol. I have a soft heart for children, because my childhood was so chaotic. Well my point is that we don't all hate women and children.

Men do get punished some never are told or worse told they will never see their child again, a few men don't care ,yes but not all how would women feel if the reverse happened

@LS AE have you stood in the shoes of men who lost their their children because of religious belief or parents would never allow a relationship between couples because of land,religion or what other people think ,I don't think so it easy to confuse compassion with supporting only the mother how about the child and the father after all that is what was once classed as a family unit, destroyed because of others

It was Pope John Paul II ... He was much more than just "a Catholic" my dear

That one will do anything to flog a c.d...Muslim now isn't she?what next....another madonna???

@Elizabeth Orr the original commenter has edited their comment but I agree with you...😊

P La. He was just a man. I was brought up as a Roman Catholic, but I do not wish to be part of organised religion anymore.

@Elizabeth Orr Whether she tore up the Pope's picture or not is irrelevant. They both are Guided by The Same Spirit and it is not holy.

Atrocities occur such as this in the same manner, in the general population. Search Operation Underground Railroad where women and children are trafficked. Hear the stories and the people who try and rescue them.

Very true, but the nuns were all grown educated women and not one complained.

Try not to overlook the fact Nuns were female, doing this to other females, and not one of them ever came forward.....It is not as if their convictions justify murder so you would expect if nothing else one of them might at least have a sense of right from wrong, but no they were obviously the human embodiment of evil...catholic baby killers!

Yes, ... Those nuns were tough and very strict, ....but if it wasn't for them, most of the Western civilization would have been long gone !! Today without the Church, look what's happening all over the Western world !! Mass abortion, population decline, population replacement, drugs, alcoholism suicides, and total despair and total wipe out of the European people !!

God..so true

Its unfortunate they got the full blame when they should have only been getting half of it. Its also unfortunate for a women since she cant hide the fact that she is pregnant but a man can deny that he had anything to do with it. In some cases woman might not have even known for certain who the father was so it makes that whole situation a lot more complicated when you dont have any proof. Its not like today where people had easy access to DNA tests

It’s not Gods fault it’s humanity

Sofia - I didn't see blaming God here, not even for the Church's horrible behavior.

Sofia Bravo I blame the people that claims there Christians I blame men and the priest and there not god. God does not like that I can feel it and tell.

JESHUA find Him the catholic church is a lie jeshua not he is the light buy a kings james bible read that and be saved for eternity

And they have the gall to call Protestants, Jews, and Freemasons evil. What utter Dreck!

John Shelton Catholics don’t think they are evil.

The bible says, "call no man holy except jesus" the bible says you can call them brother , but not holy for all have sinned.

Stephanie Camille Nietes The same people who called unwed mothers 'sinners' were those who subjected those children to paedophilia. How more evil does it get?

It is indeed and a favourite of mine, hope others see it...

The people who have infiltrated the church are satanic. They have nothing to do with being catholic.

@Elizabeth Orr THEN WHY DON'T THEY HAVE DEATH CERTIFICATES- WHY IS THERE A COVER UP- WAKE UP

Certificates or not there was a clear cover up and you can't blame over 700 deaths purely on infant death rates, so many of them being noted as emaciated and starving that there was clear mistreatment by the church it wasn't natural. They shamed the mothers for having the children and despite the fact many of them would've been fine taking care of their child the church took them anyways then proceeded to neglect and starve them and when they died not even give them a proper burial. Sure some of the things people have been saying about the church is harsh, but this is recent history which can't be excused.

baran songul it's over 100 years old. I understand that it's not insainly old but societally it is. These are wedlock babies. This took place back when the church was still in decent power. I'm a third generation Catholic and yes they have done awful things but so has every religion and every country throughout history. They story came to life, word spread, it's known, but no use in to continue to live in the past

@Elizabeth Orr Millions of children will tell ya, not much is worse than a man in a dress, or a bunch of nun either. Much horror. Real talk. There are many good ones, but they aren't in charge.

And torturw

Not a chance.

They won't face any charges, sure it's all covered up, now.

Murder? I didn't see any evidence for murder. Severe neglect absolutely and maybe abuse, yes. But where is the murder?

Starving children to death is murder. And probably beating them to death.

Ireland already is. Thankfully it has changed and there are strict measures now in place for child protection

Blessings to that wonderful woman who did all the investigating.

@Elizabeth Wallace wtf.

To lie about something this serious seems complicit to me

Elizabeth Wallace can you send me a link to your information? Thank you

@Elizabeth Wallace As mature as the survivors appear to be, I'm sure most if not all the nuns who ran the "Homes" are long dead.

I understand what you are saying. However, you need to realise that in that time, nuns lived in their own hierarchy and were taught to never question. My aunt was a nun in that time and she watched me being assaulted and said nothing. It was only when she was in her 80's that she apologised to me and explained that she would have been punished for speaking out. They didn't have any sense of self, it was all about god and the church. I hope that explains it a bit. It's very hard to understand in this day and age, it was like a whole other universe.

Very true.

Rose-Marie Chauret A1

its almost impossible to read,I am Irish ,but this makes me so ashamed, wholesale murder of innocents by the ones who were to look after them,

Bet you there was not one skinny little nun amongst the bunch.

More information please about Canada, it could help someone who is watching and trying to connect the pieces.

@@gwynbetts29 Also there are several class action lawsuits going on. Nothing has come out of those yet, but hoping something will after the discovery of thousands of unmarked graves. It is the Canadian holocaust honestly and if there are evil people still alive who abused and killed those kids, they should be punished for their crimes.

@@gwynbetts29 Indigenous children were to be "assimilated" into European Canadian culture, but the boarding schools they were sent to meant torture. There was even an electric chair in some of these schools with enough electricity to cause severe pain, and you could get it for stuff like going to the bathroom at night. Apart from that, children were beaten and se**ally assaulted. Many children died from the abuse and neglect and were hidden in mass graves. Of these mass graves several have recently been discovered.

I’m wondering if they’ll find mass graves in the US. We had those residences here too. I’m a Catholic and I’m so bewildered right now.

They don't serve our Saviour they serve the Evil one. This is awful.

Are you talking about Gelravel Street graveyard

How do you know they killed anyone? What was the doctors conclusion? Why were some children emancipated and have wizened arms? What did he report or propose should happen. What was the followup? The real truth is always somewhere in the middle. putting them in a iron chamber instead of burying them does not even suggest foul play. If babies were born dead back then, they could not be burried in consecrated ground because they were not baptised. That was the belief of everyone. The real crime here is that many death certs were probably fabricated and the children were bought by wealthy Americans!

@@Marie.b Did you even watch the video? The babies born alive and starved to death. These were the people who were supposed to care for them and they weren't providing adequate food and care. I don't know what the law is in Ireland but here in the US that's at least second degree murder.

@@thelittleredhairedgirlfrom6527 I watched it all. It's not a police investigation. It's a story built on top of a few questionable happenings. That does not make it the truth. People are so easily led!

@@Marie.bIgnorance is bliss, it seems. You can ignore reality but the rest of us won't.

@Alexis Wilkinson denial of what? i don't deny bones were found , how many is questionable and no investigation has answered conclusively. I don't deny babies died, how is questionable and no investigation has answered conclusively. I don't deny babies were adopted out against mothers wishes and I don't even deny that was done illegally or even that money may have changed hands. Now, what exactly am I in denial about again? Crowd panic and wild accusation led to the wrongful convictions and murder of women with the witch hunts and the most famous one when the crowd ie the ignorant public, demanded the death of an innocent man and when given the choice of freeing him or a dangerous criminal, they chose the criminal! I put no faith in the judgement of the crowd/ public.

Because men rule the church. Of course they are not to be blamed. My aunt told me this saying some 30 yrs ago...'Momas baby, daddys maybe'. Its a fact the baby is hers. She is pregnant. Maybe its his, or his or his...maybe.

It us recorded in the New Testament, when a woman was caught having adulterous relationship, the people brought her to Jesus. They want Jesus to persecute the woman according to their law. Jesus said to them, "Those who have not sinned, stone this woman for that is your law." Upon saying these words, Jesus' wrote on the ground the sinful things of those accusers and perhaps, Jesus wrote their names on the ground too! So those people turned away because they are sinners too. Those people only accused the woman but how about the man who was caught with her? Crazy unfair aye! They think women are no equal to men. God loved us all. God does not play favoritism. When Jesus rose from grave, He first showed to women.

I watched a movie about the Magdalenes, and it was infuriating what happened there at that home. 😡

tail feather, your instincts are spot on. This book illuminates the fear of religion: A Child of the Church: Nature versus Scripture See youtube.com Dead cat in the middle of the road.

@@heatherframpton9693 Of what movie, do you speak? Thank You!

And absolutely nothing happened to the men

Not actually for not having a husband but for having sexual relations outside of marriage. But the men should have been punished and the children and mothers treated with love, not as abominations

Religious institutions should be kept as far away from both the state and kids as possible

Or the Magdalene laundries.

@@hollym1751 How would you prove who the father was?

ive just bought the book , just starting to read it ,

The Vietnam Memorial speaks volumes. Makes me weep seeing all bthose names of people that died so far away from home. Very sad indeed.

It has to be said that in Ireland in the early part of the 20th.century there was abject poverty, some families produced a great many children they could not afford to feed. It was deemed an honour for a son to go to the seminary and a great many boys went to the priesthood. Similarly girls were sent very early to service in convents, they earned their keep. They did not have a vocation but went through the system because it was economic for the families. I suppose many if those nuns exacted their frustrations on young girls who had children out of wedlock, but it haunts me that, in the records in the article, a tiny three week old baby could be emaciated........that is wilful and inhuman cruelty. It is also true that many babies were the result of Priests impregnating young girls in the convents, which is despicable. I know someone who was a nursing sister, who had the most appalling story to tell of a nun who had been admitted to her ward, suffering from tertiary syphillis, what a dreadful thing to happen. I never found out what happened to her, it’s heartbreaking.

@@jackieporter5323 Yes ! I've been to Ireland but only once in my life so far. It was my parents dream for me to become a priest but I was afraid to take on that responsibility for some reason. My mother was gifted in Latin while I merely squeaked by yet excelled in German. My parents didn't appreciate that at all. Ireland for the most part is indeed poor and I found solace in the fact that my family was humble with a touch of resentment thrown in for texture. I was always taught / reminded to grin and bear it, after all it's a small thing compared to the suffering of Christ. I still believe that to this day.

That's wonderful even though he died he had a happy life I want to clarify him surviving is the good part

The Church and State have been playing their real life system of HandMaidens tale for Centuries. I believe the Superior Race Eugenics Theory was invented to keep the Babies they abducted and SOLD... forever divided. But most of all to hide their “CRIMES” until it was to late for the Victims to do anything about it. That’s why it’s all on YT now. They’ve decided to let us all KNOW.... what they did. #Confessions 👈

And still the believers remain so arrogant, to make the world in their image, war if necessary

Sorry to hear of pain.

My heart aches for you 😢

Very very true

Riz D.o.c wrong is still wrong no who is doing it.

Carole Pearson what about the families who put the women(girls) in these situations. They all knew.

Jeannine Hatton - Absolutely agree. A similar thing was happening to women, here in England. My Mum got pregnant at 18 (1957). She was sent off to a home for unwed mothers. She didn’t really say much about it, so I didn’t ask. She was very lucky, as after my brother was born, my grandparents allowed her to keep him, so he was brought back to her parents home and he was very much loved, which was unheard of back then.

Carole Pearson beautiful, happy it turned out well for your family.. Who knows what could of happend?

Can I ask where is your neighbour hood?

Of course kid ms where buried there the nuns could not afford to bury them they got nothing from their governments these homes where full time the gunnels.

Alison Lee ikr.😢😢😢

you wouldn't

You don't... not ever. Either you live not really living, you keep fighting or you off yourself.

well my mom did i was 3 but the memories are still clear, not because it was horrifying but because it was unique. my family was poor and they decided not to have a second baby because they only had enough to provide one with good education. she did cry a lot.

Watch the movie Philomena that's about just this.

She is and was not a historian. She was a typist and had no degree of any kind. Please do your research.

@@porkychop6970 shut up

Anyone can be a historian like anyone can be a writer. The first commenter’s point is that she was a hero. It doesn’t matter if she had a degree. Journalists do research and break amazing stories every day without an MA or PhD in history. Do you always steal joy away from people?

Yes, she is indeed a heroine. And, thankfully for the children concerned, a tenacious one at that.

@@ravenel2 well said 70 years ago my brother new born would not stop crying day and night dr said nothing wrong? My mother went to see a quack as they called them in her day people who hadnt passed paper examinations for the letters.he striped the baby and found he had a tiny hernia or what ever they called it in those days right below he put something on it lint on top bandage etc told my mum not to bathe him for AWEEK that night was first time that baby slept and after I come from a poor welsh mining village in south wales everyone in village used to talk about my mother and brother walking streets to get baby to sleep So there are better people out there who couldnt pass an exam yet are more qualified than many

Shame on you.

Really!!!!!!

AngloHuscarl..This video shows a horrible atrocity against the most vulnerable ones: Children. It was the government responsibility to protect this people. I see the video is just trying to blame The Church (and a very specific congregation), but I think it's both parts fault. Now, to blame an entire institution for this barbarity just reflects the personal views of many towards The Church of the Lord. Wake up people, there is evil in the world. It is infiltrated inside the Church since Jesus Christ the Lord was living with us. The Church of the Lord: The Catholic Church has Judas Iscariot as the betrayer of the Lord, meaning, it's not perfect. Jesus predicted evil inside and outside the Church. So we just have to pray, pray, pray for these little ones that lost their life cruelly and for the people that still is affected by such tragedy, pray for the healing on their soul. The Church of the Lord will never get destroyed by evil. God promised that HIMSELF. Luke 22:31-32 31 “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat. 32 But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”

AngloHuscarl it’s all connected to the free Masonic cults of ancient Egypt... they are satanic demons hiding behind costumes, names, gender, race, titles, companies, etc. they are here to bring there end of time apocalyptic fantasy to all of earth... that’s what the pyramids of Giza are... a cult who built aa huge underground facility(Bunker/shelter) to transport them into the afterlife/outer space ... like Jonestown but on a global scale and much more complex... the pyramids were cages for the slaves like a concentration camp...

Right!!! Geez this is just heartbreaking 💔..

Queenofdacastle my mum was born in a mother and baby home in Dublin

Was that the Duplessis Orphans?

No, that was another scandal perpetuated by Quebec's Catholic church. In that case 20,000 orphaned children were misdiagnosed as mentally disabled and put into asylums (the government received more money from asylums than from orphans). The children suffered mental, physical and sexual abuse in the institutions. Duplessis Orphans: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duplessis_Orphans Residential Schools: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Indian_residential_school_system

Me Just for the record, the Residential Schools in Canada were operated by several " religious" groups, including the RC, and Anglican Churches, as well as the United Church, but the RC Church was predominant. The Government at the time ( in their infinite wisdom) believed that indigenous children should be yanked from their communities and culture to be " de-savaged" at the hands of religious teachers in residential schools. They suffered horrendous abuse of every form - cultural, physical, emotional and sexual at the hands of some truly cruel and warped Priests, Nuns and lay people, funded by the Government, and created a legacy of pain, cultural genocide, substance abuse and indigenous parents with no parenting skills and deep, untreated emotional scars. Canadian Residential Schools also had their secret burial plots and undocumented deaths/burials. The late Tragically Hip frontman, Gord Downie brought much needed attention to the need for reconciliation and an equitable deal for indigenous Canadians, including the story of Chanie Winjack, a 9 year old aboriginal boy who ran away from the horrors of his residential "school", and died of exposure on the railway tracks he was following to get back home. Both the Mother and baby homes in Ireland and the Residential Schools in Canada were born out of a similar, deeply troubling religious morality that did much harm and little or no good, and seemed to attract some truly evil people to work in it's system. As if anybody with a brain cell would believe there were no deaths at Tuam the entire time they ran. Ms. Corless is a true hero - a soft-spoken amateur historian with guts and grit.

Canuckmom1958 all true. But in Canada there churches also ran these mother and baby homes and orphanages. The most notorious orphanage was Mount Cashel in Newfoundland. Children were generally separated boys from girls and this one was for boys.

This also happened in Australia. By government policy, half-caste and semi-caste Aboriginal children were taken from their parents by age seven and put into Church- and State-run orphanages and missions. There the females were trained to become domestic servants and the males to be farmhands and cattle stockmen - receiving salaries of one-third to one-half of their white counterparts. Now known as the Stolen Generations, the policy continued right up until the 1970s. The government offered a public apology in 2008, but nothing else - certainly nothing in the way of compensation for generations of devastated families and ruined lives.

@Zaphod Bebelbrox I hear you the saint

Rich enough? The Vatican's bank balances, art collections and ecclesiastical jewelry could pay off the national debt of half the planet. RC priests (and bishops cardinals and pope) take a vow of poverty. You only have to look at them to see their definition of poverty isn't quite the same as ours.

@@jackywhite880 What is the largest non governmental charitable organisation in the world?

Beth Poole because we let it.

lack of compassion. it's hard to explain the generational trauma in this country over how the church and the state have treated women but it contributes to a society in which any new revelation is greeted by jeers and complaints that the church is being scapegoated by militants, even while most irish people are absorbing the shock. a society in which pregnant people are expected to carry dead foetuses to term, in which a dead woman was put on life support in case her pregnancy was viable and another woman denied life because her doctor refused to abort her baby even though it was legal. i think the root is disgust borne from fear. the catholic church made people fear but they also invited them to make distinctions. it invited people to turn on each other to gain favour. it made itself integral to the community of rural areas and then used priests to control the whole social structure of towns and parishes and to police the behaviour of every member of the community. Eventually we turned on each other and the results of that are plain. Like that idea of the panopticon: a perfect prison where no one knows if they are being watched and eventually begin to behave the right way out of fear.

Do you really think people to believe an Australian 'news source' over actual Irish people who lived in this home who can testify the abuse that went on?

all religions are blind lost and stupid. religion is man made.

It did not do anything horrendous. This is part of a PR campaign designed to break down Ireland's beliief in itself, It is financed by billiionaires and others with an agenda to remake Ireland.

should be a crime to allow children absorb their teachings. and should be a choice only adults make to follow

Which is then superseded by George Orwell's correct prediction of every communist takeover ever, plus Italianfacism and Nazism which where outgrowths of communism. The idea where the state becomes your new God, whetheryou like it or not. Moa in China alone, murdered 45 millionof his own people. He'sworshipped like a God in China today, because communism requires facist dictatorship to stay in power. So they control what peoplesay as best they can, by rule of law.

@@uncatila Abuse also occurred in state run orphanages in other parts of the world. Some articles are as follows.

Many of these articles I have included focus on physical, emotional and sexual abuse which took place in some state run institutions in some countries. My point is, that unless whistleblowers are protected, there are good protocols and investigations carried out as well as appropriate enforcement measures, these horrid conditions could occur again. I am not trying to cover up or excuse abuses in the Catholic Church. It’s like trying to deny the Holocaust. You can’t because of the dearth of evidence about. The fact is that when it suits some human beings, wherever there are no reporting mechanisms or authority or laws operating to prevent such terrible damage from happening, then they will continue abusing other people. It’s an ugly facet of human nature, like cruelty to animals. Some people will decide to be cruel and others won’t.

@@blairmartin6818 the best days of my life were when I had my own bunk in the Catholic orlhinage. I loved the chow.

I encourage you to be a light in the darkness. Be part of a Christian community and don't judge other religions for their differing views.

Michelle Dax I don’t judge religion, or people of a religion. I judge a building, an institution. One that continues to commit and get away with horrific crimes.

Good riddance? Churches, Christians, fought for the freedom of slaves in the 1800s. So you want to say “good riddance” to the ideas and fundamentals that were at the forefront of the abolition movement?

Annagrams15 !!!! Have you ever read the bible? About the slaves that god said was okay? About the millions god murdered?

Cadence James I’m Christian, so yeah I have read the Bible. Firstly, which verse directly says that God told them to have slaves, or praised those who did? Secondly, he killed the people because they were morally unjust. He didn’t do it for pleasure, he did it to prevent sin from becoming rampant.

All because of a Hebrew notion of how the Earth was formed, and who was in it...Eve's fault of course!

Not all catholic a are like that, don’t be mean

@@shouldacomewithawarninh4974 notice how Alice didn't say "Catholic's lack of basic humanity never ceases to amaze me" but "*THE CHURCH'S* lack of humanity never ceases to amaze me" The Church- organization Catholics-practitioners its almost as if you cant read

annika hopp lol Alice never uttered the word catholic in their sentence why you so pressed man

Priests vicars are all wolves in sheepskin clothing I'm disgusted that after the findings they were all still protected and covered up the church the goverment and the evil carry thier prophets away to hide like the rats they are

Although there are several incidents of corruption in the church it doesn't mean the church as a whole is evil. Im from a nice catholic church in India. The priests and everyone are very kind and good people.

That is just so sad. Did he ever get to meet his biological mother?

@@smc25701 nope, I don't think so. I don't even know if he knows who she is.

Kree Mentz45 *pedophiles, and also, don’t judge a religion based on a person who follows it. For example, let’s say you’re atheist. Guess who also was an atheist? Hitler. By your logic, atheism is evil due to having an evil person follow it.

Tuam in irish its tuaim it means mound or burial place (tomb)

what a travesty..............

@Snowbird there are 1.2 billion Catholics for your information,the saint!!!

I live close by. It is a sad story from a sad time. There are many in Ireland like that and also elsewhere.

The perpetrators of this crime should all be named and shamed at least, if they are dead. If alive they should go to jail for the rest of their lives...

No. Never.

good to hear ,

Hugs and blessings to you and your mother. I hope she is healthy happy and full of joy now.

Too little, too late

@Elizabeth Orr Don't be so daft.

This hypocrite world may label you, but you are a precious creation of Yahuah and you are blessed to make it through compared to others who didn't. You are here because there is a purpose in your life, more special, seek Yahuah God through Yahusha ( Jesus). He is coming sooner.

You are as legit as everybody else. You are a product of nature!

My mom, who was a Catholic told me there are no illegitimate babies only illegitimate parents. Not the kids fault!!

Elizabeth Orr what kind of monstrous vial person are you. To taunt people. Unchristian! Unworthy of any Christian love!

religion invented their good and evil

Who says that? I have yet to find one adult who believes that

Well, we believe that making people suffer is evil. There's nothing in the universe that dictates that that is correct, but it's good that we believe that. Good and evil is just a matter of perspective. If a cow or a pig knew what would happen to it, they would consider meat eating humans as just as evil as you (and I for that matter) consider the nuns. What is good for one, might be evil for another. Edit: It's important that we agree on what is evil and what is good to live together happily. What I'm saying is that there's no objective good and evil.

Yes it’s hard to sleep at night knowing what kids are taught in our state schools these days and what our medical profession is doing to our kids.

why the church and not the people instead ??

@@lleonnigg For the same reason some people hate all cops after someone gets killed by one of them. You can say it's that 1 cops fault and it very well may be, but some start to question if it's more then that when it continues to happen. So it's the department who becomes responsible for their actions. Just like the church becomes responsibility for the nuns and priests who are guilty of crimes

@@Rayq007 a police department has atleast 100 co workers The church has 1.2 billion belivers Plus Vatican’s tryna reunite the Eastern Orthodox back together again So blame the bishop

@@lleonnigg I have nothing against the Church, you asked why the church and not the people. And I told you. But let me add that if the Church knows of crimes being committed or had been committed and they do not stop it or report it because they don't want people to think badly of the Church so then either transfer people to another parish, or close that area of service or worse do nothing and it continues. Wouldn't you agree they are just as guilty as those doing it.

@@Rayq007 the church excommunicates the people and report it

FreyaEinde no, atrocities are not súper fine. That is unbearable for me to imagine even.

Sorry I was being glib, It's weird that people commit far more heinous acts under the veil of morality. More so than the people they're out to condemn.

FreyaEinde I am a Catholic, a mother who has never been married and I believe in BC, so your comment is wrong. Not all Catholic people feel the way you do

Malia Ferry Do Catholics not understand sarcasm?

FreyaEinde No, that was just rude...most Catholics are againts that.

They condemned national for mass murder rightfully so.so how do these catholic churches not get tried for thier crimes and why did goverment try covering it up cause thier all murderers goverment and royalty have committed crimes un punished look how andrew got away with it we all know.

What mercy did he have?

F. OPE what? What the heck would a "proper" burial do for abused children" These children were abused, neglected, ill fed and ostracised because their mothers had "disgraced" themselves. They died because the Catholic Church abused them. And you think it's sad they didn't ha e a proper funeral. Just shut up.

BadcatV smith Yes I do, because it shows that the people didn't care. After all, there is little to do now but remember, care and respect their memories.

F. OPE what? And that's just what the religious authorities are looking for. A way to validate themselves. "We abused and mistreated them in life but there's a memorial to their lives now - very short, painful lives - but we can forget the why's and the who's because we've allowed a memorial to them......" No. Let's sort out the who and the why - then we can put their victims to rest.

BadcatV smith What? How is building a memorial forgetting? Much the contrary. Tell that to the japanese on the comfort women memorial issue - that the south koreans are building them to forget. Or the confederate memorials, that are for anything but forgetting. Anyway, my point was not that, but rather that them not having a proper burial is an evidence of how they were sadly seen as less worthy than others - now, of course you should punish those who did anything illegal, like abuse etc, but you should also honor the memory of the children like you do when there are people who suffered for something you can not fix and don't want to repeat.

F. OPE let's resolve the issue before we rush forward to raise a memorial. Let the world know - tell the truth. Name and shame those who were involved, those who supported this and those within the law who ensured it could continue unabated. Then work out exactly WHO it is we're being asked to remember. They weren't "the children" - they were individuals, abused, malnourished and allowed to die. Then thrown away like dross. So let's have all the facts in the open - and an honest attempt to identify those who were made to suffer and die, before we raise a memorial to "them" - and turn away - relieved it's been "dealt with".
