In a town in western Ireland, where castle ruins pepper green landscapes, there’s a six-foot stone wall that once surrounded a place called the Home. Between 1925 and 1961, thousands of “fallen women” and their “illegitimate” children passed through the Home, run by the Bon Secours nuns in Tuam.
Many of the women, after paying a penance of indentured servitude for their out-of-wedlock pregnancy, left the Home for work and lives in other parts of Ireland and beyond. Some of their children were not so fortunate.
More than five decades after the Home was closed and destroyed — where a housing development and children’s playground now stands — what happened to nearly 800 of those abandoned children has now emerged: Their bodies were piled into a massive septic tank sitting in the back of the structure and forgotten, with neither gravestones nor coffins.
“The bones are still there,” local historian Catherine Corless, who uncovered the origins of the mass grave in a batch of never-before-released documents, told The Washington Post in a phone interview. “The children who died in the Home, this was them.”
The grim findings, which are being investigated by police, provide a glimpse into a particularly dark time for unmarried pregnant women in Ireland, where societal and religious mores stigmatized them. Without means to support themselves, women by the hundreds wound up at the Home. “When daughters became pregnant, they were ostracized completely,” Corless said. “Families would be afraid of neighbors finding out, because to get pregnant out of marriage was the worst thing on Earth. It was the worst crime a woman could commit, even though a lot of the time it had been because of a rape.”

Really, Doctor of Medieval Archaeology? Pray, tell us which abbeys and churches hold such remains then. Sounds like you have a nice list of ‘em!
This is SO SAD! Humans are capable of such evil!
If there's anyone still alive responsible for this atrocity, they ought to be brought to trial.
“So this is the Christian alternative to abortion.”
You’re on the wrong website, for many reasons.
And quite limited and depraved in intelligence, knowledge or analytical skills.
While many Democrats are generationally Catholic, it’s the Democrat that supports abortion defying the Church.
Regarding crimes against humanity, it wasn’t the Catholics in Nazi Germany that escalated the horrors.
Your shift of “blame” to Roman Catholics is near as pathetic as the response about the “Christian alternative”.
I expect better from people who post here.
So do most, I’m sure. That’s why we come here.
Your rationality is, I’m sure, not appreciated by many.
But keep at it. And thanks for presenting voice of reason and diligence.
You really think it’s not propaganda?
Read the article.
Your guess is worth nothing.
A disgusting stain on my Irish heritage. A clear example of religious zealotry turning people evil.
Your comments are interesting.
A similar thing happened to China. Lot of very hard times.
It makes a society mad.
The Catholic Church in Ireland I am certain has been nothing but a help that tempered severe social insanity and chaos, as happened in China and other places.
The sickening thing to you should be that these women were brutalized because of being pregnant. Ostracized, abandoned, thrown away. Disgusting. All brought to you by Catholic zealots.
People trying to use this to make points against whatever their bête noir is really disheartening, and angering, to see happen here.
Dang near any monastery, and the Vatican. I thought this was common knowledge?
This seems to be recycled every so often. Never heard the Church’s side from up to some 90 years ago.
This is not a Catholic vs. Protestant issue as both Nova Scotia and Florida (at least until 1980 or so) were predominantly Protestant. Britain and the other Commonwealth nations had a "borstal" system of housing troubled youth under harsh conditions. The abuses are the result of institutional warehousing of children, whether run by a church group or a governmental agency.

Revelation of the Beast
By James Donahue
This report may be the most shocking and troubling thing you will ever read. Most people will write it off as a wild fictional fantasy of no substance. Yet if you consider the events presently occurring in the world, and have an understanding of esoteric matters and how subconscious belief systems intertwine with mythology, you would do well to give this story serious consideration.
This report hangs on two important sources. The first is a vivid and repetitious dream shared with me by a woman who experienced them in the 1960s. The second is a new revelation this week by The Abba Father, which explains the woman’s dream.
The crux of the story is that there is a great beast, or dragon-type of a creature that lays chained and asleep deep in the catacombs under the Vatican. This creature is so mentally powerful that it controls all world governments and financial institutions. This beast, which has been on our planet for thousands of years, is the real force behind all of the wars, chaos and troubles that have made this planet in constant discord and in an unbalanced state throughout known human history and beyond.
In a cryptic message this week The Abba Father told of “the one that is hidden” at the Priory of the Vatican that must be revealed. “This is the way of the others that do harm to humans. This is their leader. The deadly ones cannot live without this one.”
This creature was described by The Abba Father as a “lizard-like being” that “is very accomplished in all languages, all politics, all money, all material things, all foundations, any monetary gains, religious beliefs. Master of mind control, starts wars, puts people in office all over the world.
“Very powerful being there. All known kings and queens used this energy to stay in power. No one can stop this but now is the time for the revealing,” the Abba Father said.
This writer was instructed to reveal this story even though Abba Father predicted “most will not believe but enough will be alarmed.” He implied that the revelation of the beast is occurring earlier than it had been planned, but that world events are occurring so fast that the time table of events designed to put a stop to human slavery had to be moved up.
He said: “Mankind is not ready for this exposure but money is being the enemy now, corrupting all who worship it. Only way to put back love is the revealing of this one. Write about this now. Don’t wait. Events will come. The healing of minds and hearts cannot take place as long as this remains a secret.”
Abba Father said that this entity has remained locked up in its dungeon-like hiding place for thousands of years, having been successfully captured and chained there by the Lumarians, a race of humanoids that lived on Earth and developed an advanced culture long before the present humans were here. Abba Father said the Atlantians, a race of humans that existed before Lumeria, apparently did battle with the beast but were unable to destroy it. The best that could be done was to get the creature chained and hidden in its present state.
The great danger, he said, is that “another force is about to let it loose. The energy for this happening is nearly complete. Orgone was needed and will be the beginning of its release.”
The Abba Father said the strange hand signal that world leaders and television personalities are boldly showing during public appearances, is a symbol of allegiance to the beast. The symbol is being used arrogantly, as if the people in power know they have little to hide. The sign shows the right hand folded with the index and small finger extended in the shape of horns.
This is such a shocking story it might be difficult to believe. Yet there has been evidence of a subconscious awareness of the existence of this beast in worth mythology and even in the designs of modern-day temples.
We are all familiar with the ancient stories of dragons and sea monsters with lizard-like scales that breathe fire as they ravage and pillage the landscape or ships at sea. There also was the strange story of the Cyclops, the one-eyed giant that Greek and Roman mythology said once roamed the land.
While The Abba Father would not give the creature under the Vatican a name, the late author H. P. Lovecraft may have done so. He created a “cosmic energy” named Cthulhu, a high priest to the Great Old Ones in what are known as the Lovecraft Mythos. Lovecraft’s description of this creature was hideous, which may not be the case.
The woman’s dream is significant because it clearly links all of the elements of the Abba Father’s story. She said she dreamed that she was on a strange wooden floor and that there was an odd crisscrossing of the oak boards, making it difficult to walk on. She was surrounded by stairways interacting with one another and seemingly going nowhere as depicted in the famous Escher painting.
The woman said there was a deep chasm at the edge of the floor she was on. When she peered down into this chasm she saw a floor far below that was comprised of black and white checkered material. There also were what appeared to be several people walking around on this checkered floor.
She said that in her dream she found a staircase that took her down into this lower level and followed it, eventually coming to a door. There also were odd crooked posts distinctly seen here. Inside the door she found a dragon-like creature that was in chains. “It was huge but beautiful at the same time.” She said the creature appeared to be sleeping, but as she stood there, it began to open its eye. Just then, someone grabbed her and pulled her out of the room.
The woman said she was quite young when she began having this dream. At the time she was attending a Baptist Church, was deeply caught up in the Christian faith, and had no understanding of what this dream meant. But it was a reoccurring dream that she had for several years afterward until it was vividly imbedded in her mind.
She said in later years, during a Christmas holiday, she was watching a televised broadcast of a message from the Vatican. She said she was shocked to see the Pope sitting in a chair between two crooked pillars that were exactly like the ones she saw in her dream. The floor of the room where the Pope was seated was a black and white checkered material. She said she realized at that moment that her dream had involved something at the Vatican.
It is interesting to note that the woman who told this story did not see the Escher painting until much later in life. It was as if the artist also had the same dream and depicted the strange interacting staircases just as she remembered them.
As a young boy I remember “doodling” while listening to radio programs and sometimes while listening to lectures in school. I found that looking at the drawings helped me remember what I heard during the lecture. One day I produced an intricate drawing of interlocking and erratically twisting staircases which, much like the Escher work, lead nowhere. I had not seen the Escher work when I made this drawing. My father was fascinated by the drawing and suggested that I should work on my artistic talents. Was that not an image from the subconscious mind that all three of us shared?
It is interesting that many of the great temples of the world appear to have black and white checkered floors. They say such a floor exists in the Mormon Temple in Salt Lake City, as well as in many of the Masonic temples. The floor design is said to have been present in King Solomon’s Temple and represents duality of life; good vs. evil.
If the Abba Father’s time table is correct, the floor of the vault where the creature lies chained is much older than even King Solomon’s Temple.

“This seems to be recycled every so often”
Yes. The article itself says it was seen in 1995 by some boys.
It’s recycled as sensationalist propaganda.
Nice tie in to leftist movies like Philomena.
The propaganda recycling of visceral stories works well, as exemplified by this thread.
