This is a story tailor made for bigots. Orphanages TODAY receive infants and children in various stages of disease and malnutrition and sometimes they die. Are you going to blame them too?

If this was a story about a Protestant home for unwed mothers, where the dead bodies of nearly a thousand babies and young children were unceremoniously dumped one on top of another in an old septic tank, covered over and unmarked, would you be saying the same thing?

Nobody is denying that there may have been legitimate reasons for the many deaths and that they were not a result of criminal neglect or murder. It is just the seemingly blatant lack of compassion for the innocent children who had nothing to do with HOW they were conceived and their heartbroken mothers who, often times, were forced to leave home and taken into such places. These women were often NOT immoral but victims of rape and they were indentured to work in these "homes" to pay off their costs of care. Their children, those that lived, were often SOLD to factories using child slave labor or, if they were lucky, to an infertile couple wanting a child. They were ostrasized just like their mothers from other children and society and treated as outcasts, with no hope for a normal life. That isn't what we expect from a church-sponsored ministry, is it?

Believe me, if the same kind of story came out about a "Protestant" ministry doing the same thing, I would be at the head of the line condemning it. I wouldn't be pointing the finger at those who revealed the story.
