Subject: RE: BS: Dead babies and Tuam Bon Secours nuns
But, Joe, you seem to me evading the point that this "fallibility" had consequences which, in any other context, would almost certainly have led these "fallible" people to have to face some consequences: internal disciplinary action other than merely being posted elsewhere to get on with it somewhere else; even perhaps criminal charges for neglect:- which consequences were fudged by those in authority or otherwise evaded by the "fallible"; and this, it appears to those outside the charmed circle, because things done in a context of "sincerely held faith" are for some reason to be regarded as exceptions to the general rules governing normal social intercourse.

I am afraid the rest of us just don't buy it.
