Subject: RE: BS: Dead babies and Tuam Bon Secours nuns
The story has only recently surfaced, Joe, for heavens sake. Of course it is found stressful. I am afraid you are reminding me irresistibly of the old joke, that I have never found all that hilarious at that, about the Jew and the Irishmen who had been friends for years, until one day Patrick punched Moishe on the nose. "What was that for?" demanded the astonished Mo. "The Jews killed Jesus," Paddy replied. "But that was over 2000 years ago," Mo protested. "Maybe," sez Pat, "but I've only just heard about it!"

We've all only just heard about it, Joe; why is how long ago it happened supposed to condition our horrified response?
