I do not think these babies should not have been baptized in consecrated ground.

I do not deny that the nuns and everyone working with these women and babies might have been awful people, acting outside of the Church.

I am simply pointing out the rules and rites of the Church especially in practice in the days this place was active.

There is invariably a scream out of how the Church is exclusive. It is not exclusive. Anyone who wants to join, can easily find out what the rules are and join, and follow the laws.

Or they can start their own Church with its won rules.

If you want to be in the Church and demand rule changes, fine, but that’s not the Church.

You seem to be the master of the double negative!

I’m amazed at how rigid you think the Church is. That is because you are an outsider with an agenda. I am an insider who grew up with 30 years of Catholic teaching.
All you know you know because you’ve read books. I’ve lived it, mate, and you don’t know what you’re talking about.
