Subject: RE: BS: Dead babies and Tuam Bon Secours nuns
Speaking for myself,...

Well, everybody on this thread after me has said it all.

I read an in depth article in The Guardian today about it. I fully agree with the author in that the only reason this isn't wall to wall top news coverage around the world is that we see the level we expect from the Irish Catholic Church. The theocracy they ran over the Irish people questions the right of such organisations to even exist in a civilised world.

The more you think of the "sin" declared on young women, the more you see the sin of the churches. I am used to dramatisations accentuating and sensationalising issues, but on this subject, Philomena and Quirke appear to be watering it down rather than making it look worse.

A church entrusted with children throwing them in a cesspit.

Just keep repeating it to yourself and then ask yourself why our governments allow these superstitious crime rings to run schools and be left alone with vulnerable people.
