Sorting Fact From Fiction In the Story of Ireland’s Mass Children’s Grave
The story of a mass grave site of nearly 800 children and babies in Tuam, County Galway, Ireland, has sparked worldwide outrage. The bodies are thought to have been found in an unused septic tank of what was known as a “mother and baby home,” called the Bon Secours Home for Unmarried Mothers run by Catholic nuns. Such homes were fairly common and publicized in the recent Oscar nominated film Philomena starring Judi Dench.
A local historian named Catherine Corless who made the discovery, alleges that records show the children died of tuberculosis and measles. But new allegations have surfaced suggesting they may have been the subjects of vaccine trials.
The lines between fact and fiction in this story are quite blurred. But one thing is clear – anger at the Catholic Church hierarchy over on-going issues of contraception, abortion, and the sex abuse scandal, are at an all time low. The story of the mass children’s grave is only fueling that fire. Meanwhile the Irish government has promised an inquiry into the matter.

Re: “The lines between fact and fiction in this story are quite blurred.

Learn the truth:

Forbes has a news article that is widely considered to be the most ardent defense of these nuns and this “home.”
Even they won’t defend the RCC on why there weren’t individual graves, as the RCC could afford even then to erect churches, embellish them, pay for monastaries, chapels, wine for the clergy, but yet were skinflints enough to not give them a proper burial.
These nuns, and any priest that was too cold-hearted to give them a proper burial, as they could perform last rites for the masses, but couldn’t give these babies/infants a proper burial are probably getting what they so deserved earned for the next life.
The fact that this instinct cannot be quenched as easily as
the others, makes it even more tempting. Someone with a balanced third eye
chakra clearly knows where he or she is going. It is said that orange light in the room
of the dying helps the awareness-principle to maintain consciousness so that it would not miss the Clear Light of the first stage of the bardo.
