Subject: RE: BS: Dead babies and Tuam Bon Secours nuns
The timeline you use coincides with the hold religion had on society.

To say that at one time society put up with things it doesn't do now fits perfectly with when people began dismissing religion in large numbers.

Yes, you can't look at the Catholics next door and ask them why they support throwing dead babies in cesspits. No more than you can look at the Muslim next door but one and ask him to apologise for marketplace bombs. Of course you can't.

But you can ask a hierarchical organisation how their constitution helps prevent such things from happening now. You can ask them how they assure themselves and others it is impossible for them to knowingly keep quiet when their staff carry out crimes against humanity in the name of their employer.
