is beyond belief. Mass graves. Around 10,000 dead kids discarded and secretly buried. I am ashamed to be a Catholic.

Paigntonian, I'm not religious, but if atheists had committed those kind of crimes- it wouldn't make me ashamed of being one. If you have lost your faith and belief, that's one thing. But you should know they aren't all the same.

"Tora: You're showing the kind of intolerance that you accuse the Catholic Church of exhibiting. The Catholic Church takes no prisoners and you do the same. " - Not intolerance, bewilderment. By your own admission you are ashamed to be a catholic. This post is about a relatively minor Catholic atrocity in the scheme of things yet you stay attached to it? Why? simple question.
Of course not all Catholics are warped but they are very wrong to support in any way the Catholic Church.
Read all that went on in these homes in the name of God and the Church and the sexual and physical abuse by priests and nuns then tell me that Catholics should still worship.
I say all that went on. What we know has been forced and dragged out. There will still be so much evil hidden.
Pixie, atheists don't hide their cruelty and abuse behind a cloak of religion. Neither is there an organised hierarchy protecting the perpetrators of so much vile abuse.

I was a boarder in 2 Singapore convents, one collected baby orphans thru a hatch at the gate (mixed blood of soldiers with chinese). No babes died but some might use hospital.
My dter also went to 2 convents in Berks & Bucks that have her a better education than my sons who attended state school.
No convent I know of has ever been accused of abuse.
Irish convents seem the only ones that have soiled hands.

The naming and shaming of the "debauched" and pregnant unmarried women at Mass would hopefully act as a deterrent to others.
No naming and shaming of the fathers though!
To be guilty of this sin the women concerned would have needed full knowledge of the shameful act. Most young girls in Ireland wouldn't have a clue where babies came from. The majority were innocent victims of predatory, perhaps ignorant, men.
The high number of infant deaths is inexcusable.
The "***" children were victimised at school on account of their second dose of original sin.
I think the nuns and priests concerned were guilty of sadistic cruelty.

Surley it dosent matter what your occupation is- priest, vicar, bus driver or chef..? Not all catholic priests or nuns cant be trusted-
Its down to the individual person!
Im a catholic and if you think that your own priest in any way shape or form was a risk to children then i would wonder why you would attend mass there.
Similarly though I would feel for your local priest being accused or suspected of sexual abuse just because they are a priest - you CANNOT tar everyone with the same brush!
These are bad individuals... sadly plenty of them & the cover ups that went on!
