“Really? Why? That is like assuming that because hundreds of Baptists every year (or more) get arrested for drunk driving that drunk driving is a Baptist custom. If it was a policy of the Institutional Church, then it would have been adopted as such. Can you show anywhere that such a policy was adopted as official Church policy?”
Due to the opening information of the post, “Full headline: 300,000 babies stolen from their parents - and sold for adoption: Haunting BBC documentary exposes 50-year scandal of baby trafficking by the Catholic church in Spain”
I hope you are right and the Catholic Church was not involved in the adoptions. It is difficult to believe for an average of 6000 times a year hospital workers were able to get around hospital bureaucracy and administration and were able to transfer babies and parenthood. I hope that you and the other individual replying to my comments and POV are correct, it was merely personal sins of individuals and much like a Baptist (of which I am not) getting arrested for drunk driving. However, all is required for a drunk driving Baptist is a drunk Baptist and a car. However for 300,000 unauthorized adoptions to take place over 50 years with just a nurse circumventing procedures and personnel takes more scheming than Baptists being arrested for drunk driving.
To RECAP my POV, I hope the adoptions were by individuals and NOT the Catholic Church. I am not a Catholic but do get tired of the Catholic bashing. Although NOT a Catholic, I was personally offended by the first comment. I merely stated in my first comment, the information did not seem to be based on lies.
It is difficult to believe for an average of 6000 times a year hospital workers were able to get around hospital bureaucracy and administration and were able to transfer babies and parenthood.I agree, the VERACITY of the story is certainly in question. The reporter has a clear, documented bias. That bias may well have allowed her to take a few isolated allegations and spin them into this screed.
