I really think some people must fly into a raging fit whenever they see something that hints at criticism of "their" church. They will try every trick in the book to get the thread off the topic, impugn the motives of those who either post the threads or react differently than they do, and then rationalize and justify what is being reported - BEFORE the whole story even comes out. We are supposed to forget all about the nearly one thousand innocent children who died and were thrown out like garbage and, instead, presume those who did such things had to have had nothing but pure and loving reasons for doing so.

People who DID live in the town with that "home" recount their own stories of how the children were treated by the Catholic Church, the townspeople and the government. I haven't read much that hints at these kids having compassionate care from those who took it upon themselves to take their expectant mothers in (many women who, contrary to the knee-jerks, had no place else to go after becoming pregnant after rape). These women were forced to work and their children sold into indentured servitude or adopted without their mother's consent. Nobody, according to the report, even knew the origins of the mass grave - they thought it contained people who died a hundred years earlier in a famine. It sounds like a horrible and miserable place. With all the vast wealth in the Roman Catholic Church, I don't think it is illogical to expect them to take care of those they agree to help. Babies and little children should not have to starve to death WHILE in the care of such places. It really IS shameful and those who defend what happened only demonstrate the SAME cold-hearted and uncompassionate attitude of those who were directly in charge, who allowed these atrocities to take place. It certainly DID NOT honor the Lord.

C’mon bums this is getting old, I even left a few spelling errors in there for you to pick on. You are really passing up a great opportunity. What is taking you so long?
