I have no desire to execute elderly nuns who were caught up in the system themselves...I am struggling to understand how the Vatican is self supporting...I know they sell postage stamps and long long ago, as much as four months probably, used to launder Mafia money...and rent out their massive real estate holdings...but I do believe cash makes its way there..or did...I want historians to tell me where the wealth came from and how much was appropriated wrongly and how much was extracted by people to poor to feed starving children. And there are certainly people old enough to have had children in 1940 who are living and certainly the children are living and we have begun to hear from survivors..in fact, I believe one was called Peter Monaghan..I found this after I got this song..

Anyway, here is a song..tune is wearing of the green

Irish babies..tune Wearing of the Green

My name is Maureen Monahan my age is 93
I had a little baby that they never brought to me
It might have been a daughter it might have been a son
I never got to see it so it so it could be either one

If a boy I named you Paddy if a girl I named you Claire
And yes you had a father and his name was Jack O'Hare
As for you old Mother Ireland how could you treat us so
When we were young and pregnant and had nowhere else to go

800 little babies and children eight or nine
All starving in their little cots and one of them was mine
And when you drew your final breath in that workhouse cold and dank
You were wrapped up in a shroud and thrown into a septic tank

So farewell little Paddy and farewell little Claire
If I'd have known what might have happened I'd have never had you there
I'd have sold myself for pennies to sailors on the street
But by God and all that's holy you'd have had enough to eat.
