Who cares... when Mortara was old enough he used his free will to become an Augustinian.
Our Lord works is mysterious ways and God protected Mortara from his parents.
Obviously God's will was followed by Mortara

I've read that Edgar's Mom and Dad cared quite a bit, but that their entreaties to get their son back from Pius IX fell on deaf ears.
And, I must say, the charity you expressed with your words here -- "Who cares" -- warms the cockles of my heart./sarc

Don't you mean "protected Edgar from his parent's Judiasm?" Once again, I'm amazed at your charity here.
I had no idea Our Lord condoned the state- (and Holy Office) sponsored kidnapping of small children so that they would NOT be raised as Jews.
Obviously God's will was followed by Mortara
I have my doubts, to say the least.
Do you believe that Pius IX was following God's Will when he authorized the police to grab little Edgar from his parents?
