"How do you like euthanasia Irish Catholic"

BLOOD LIBEL!!

There's absolutely nothing in the articles I found that indicate children were killed, either deliberately or by neglect!

The "scandal" is that A) They found bodies of young orphans (who died before being adopted) all buried together instead of in individual graves, and B) When a muckraker located all the death certificates for orphans who died there in a period from the 1920s to the 1970s, and compared them to all known burial records, they found that 800 of those death certificates - apparently all for children between 9 mo old and 3 yrs old (since that's all they've found so far) - had no corresponding burial records.

Now, just because they can't find burial records for 800 of the death certificates, it doesn't mean those records never existed, and certainly doesn't mean there are 800 bodies buried there. Is it possible that 40-to-90 year old burial records might have been misplaced or been destroyed in a fire? Or floodwater damaged beyond readability? (Does it rain in Ireland?)

And doesn't the existence of these 800 death certificates imply the presence of doctors or other medical personnel looking at the bodies of each one before they signed off? Is there even the barest hint of foul play in the deaths of a single one of the orphans?

So far they've only found "significant quantities of human remains," according to authorities. What exactly could "significant" mean? Dozens? Note the huge loopholes in the story lead that are big enough to drive the Titanic thru: "Alleged by [a private party]" and "Up to 800...". Gotta watch out for those "Up to" claims, as any shopper knows!

The narrow age range of bodies found so far suggests the nuns, instead of using their skimpy resources to buy proper graves for ALL the children who ever died there, decided to bury the tiniest children in an underground vault, and use the saved $$ to feed the living. Wow, what a scandal! Or maybe used the burial costs they saved to buy medicine, back in the pre-antibiotic days & pre-immunization days & pre-free national health care days, when children died of pneumonia, influenza, measles, mumps, scarlet fever, smallpox, TB, to name just a few.

By the time this is done, if they end up finding 100 bodies, that's 2 per year over 50 years. How many children they housed per year is anyone's guess, as the articles don't say, so it's impossible to tell if the death rate is normal for the population size and for the child mortality rate in the early 20th century.

Obviously this Irish journalist has learned well from her mentors in the American MSM, by spinning a story of "nuns saving on burial costs" into "Irish Version of the Holocaust".

You sound like an admirer of Bill Donohue. All this is admitted by the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland.

He says not to believe the Commission of Investigation, don’t believe the Irish government, don’t even believe the Catholic Bishops, who have just reacted with “shock” and “shame” at the discovery of “significant human remains” at the former Mother and Baby Home at Tuam, County Galway.

Only Bill Donohue of the Catholic League in New York knows the truth – the same kind of "truth" Holocaust deniers might approve of.

Tuam babies horror is “fake news” says Bill Donohue of the Catholic League

"There's absolutely nothing in the articles I found that indicate children were killed, either deliberately or by neglect!"

From the article:

"The mortality rate was 25 percent on average over the years, only seven percent for the “normal” population."

"Catherine Corless tracked down death certificates for nearly 800 children. Eighteen she discovered died of starvation; yes, they were starved to death."

A 25% mortality rate and 18 confirmed to have been starved to death while in the care of the Nuns. No proof you say?
