The development is a yet another damning disclosure of a Church-run institution in Ireland following almost countless revelations of abuse and neglect at Catholic-run schools or institutions in recent decades.
“The recently discovered death records for St Mary’s show the 796 children died from malnutrition and infectious diseases, such as measles and TB.”
And the haters want to make this into a scandal. Sad.
“Thousands of unmarried pregnant women — labelled at the time as ‘fallen women’”
the hypocritical tragedy is that it is impossible to have a “fallen woman” without a “fallen man” somewhere, but THE man usually escaped serious social sanction for HIS “fall” from grace
Those 800 babies/children had 800 missing fathers..
1600 parents, and maybe 3200 administrators..
The key word in that paragraph is "suggests". Note that the grave has never been excavated, and people are unsure of exactly where it is. I am waiting for proof, on this one.
We can republish this story for as long as you need to express your contempt for the Church.
You realize it wasn’t the Catholics that helped to perpetuate that Nazi slaughters, right?
RIP all victims...
Not surprised in the least bit. I lived in Mexico for much of the 90’s. I remember reading in the local paper one day about an old Nunnery being demo’ed, and behind one of the walls....lo and behold....the skeletal remains of dozens of infant babies/and pregnant nuns. Walled up and murdered like garbage.
I see the word evil being thrown around on the thread. Who’s evil, those who did it or those who point it out?
Anyone who wishes can visit the largest cemetery (by interments) in the USA, Calvary in Maspeth, NY. Once there you can locate the sections being filled between the 1920’s and 1960’s. In these sections you will see more babies and teenagers and young adults than you ever would have believed. In a great many cases you will actually SEE the individuals as photos flashed into porcelain have been set into the stones. Once you have strolled a few of these sections you will have no problem understanding how fragile life was over those 40 years and you will require a hell of a lot more than just numbers to infer some kind of wrong-doing.
This is like my the work of fanatic nuns that hate extramarital sex
Q STARRED IAN A VERY GOOD MOVIE ON THE SUBJECT
I think that since we discovered the Magdalen laundries thing was mostly media hype, the wiser heads do not take at face value anything the media says. Here is what the McAleese (Irish govt.) investigative report, months later, said about the Magdalen laundries story:
33. A large majority of the women who shared their stories with the Committee said that they had neither experienced nor seen other girls or women suffer physical abuse in the Magdalen Laundries.
34. In this regard, women who had in their earlier lives been in an industrial or reformatory school drew a clear distinction between their experiences there and in the Magdalen Laundries, stating clearly that the widespread brutality which they had witnessed and been subjected to in industrial and reformatory schools was not a feature of the Magdalen Laundries."
Bottom line: "The panel found that hospital staff failed to adhere to clinical guidelines which relate to severe sepsis and septic shock."
A conclusion they finally published after viciously kicking the stuffing out of the Catholic Church and Irish pro-life laws in the global press for one whole year.
"Between 1925 and 1937, 204 children died at the Home — an average of 17 per year. 17 deaths out of 200 children equals a mortality rate of 8.5%. It is interesting to compare that with the rest of the country at the time. In 1933, the infant mortality rate in Dublin was 83 per thousand (ie. a mortality rate of 8.3%), in Cork it was 89 per thousand ( 8.9%), in Waterford it was 102 per thousand ( 10.2%) and in Limerick it was 132 per thousand (8.5%).Are you getting the picture?....
"In foundling homes in the US in the early 20th century, mortality was sometimes reported as greater than In foundling homes in the US in the early 20th century, mortality was sometimes reported as greater than 90% among infants cared for in such institutions. Lack of understanding of nutrition, cross-infection associated with overcrowding by today’s standards, and the dangers of unpasteurised human milk substitutes were the main factors."
Indiana just killed 32 of them today.
