Thread Name: BS: Dead babies and Tuam Bon Secours nuns
Subject: RE: BS: Dead babies and Tuam Bon Secours nuns
BBC News, 10 June, 2014- "deaths of almost 800 children..." Headline- "Babies born out of wedlock treated as inferior subspecies..."

Belfast Telegraph, 05 June 2014- "Archbishop of Tuam Michael Neary has told Bon Secours nuns that they have a moral obligation to engage with an examination of how 796 children died and were buried in a mass grave."
The Archbishop spoke of women "witnessing the death" of their babies.

The ordered review "may include other homes around Ireland..."

I was going to leave this thread since it seems to be degenerating into condemnation of the Catholic Church and faith. I may be atheist, but singling out one Faith or government for what was widespread mistreatment of disadvantaged children by government as well as church-run institutions is wrong.

The story about 800 bodies seems to be accurate, not denied by the Archbishop or the government.
