Bodies of 'hundreds' of children buried in mass grave

To be fair.. you would probably find similar graves in many church run orphanages worldwide. Not exactly uncommon behaviour for the Church back in the day.... well some places even today.
 
There were 800 babies and childrens bodies found at Tuam in Ireland only at the beginning of this year.

The apologies and denials for this most recent find are already being given... Nuns, eh?

That's less than four children per year, given the orphanage was open for 117 years and 400 graves were found. Heck, I've visited old cemeteries where four siblings in the same family were wiped out in a single year. I'm surprised, actually, given the diseases that used to go around that more did not die.

Dont think you understand... kids that died of "natural causes" were buried in graves at the church... these are kids that died unnaturally and their deaths were hidden. These are abuse victims... it is a crime against humanity and mass murder.

I sense another apology is due within the next, oh, 500 years or so...


(How'd I do?)(A little positive reinforcement wouldn't kill you, you know?)

You're aware there have been mass graves of former black slaves in the United States unearthed?

There have been other mass graves besides that unearthed too.


Unearthing the Secrets of New York’s Mass Graves

By NINA BERNSTEIN MAY 15, 2016

Over a million people are buried in the city’s potter’s field on Hart Island. A New York Times investigation uncovers some of their stories and the failings of the system that put them there.

But when she died at 88 in a New York hospital in 2008, she was the ward of a court-appointed guardian who let her house go into foreclosure and her body go unclaimed at the morgue.

By law, her corpse became city property, to be made available as a cadaver for dissection or embalming practice if a medical school or mortuary class wanted it. Then, like more than a million men, women and children since 1869, she was consigned to a trench on Hart Island.

Several dozen trenches back lies Zarramen Gooden, only 17 when the handlebars of his old bike broke and he hit his throat, severing an artery. He had been popping wheelies near the city homeless shelter in the Bronx where he and four younger siblings lived with their heroin-addicted mother. With no funeral help from child protection authorities, his older sister scraped together $8 to buy the used suit he wore at his wake. But the funeral home swiftly sent him back to the morgue when she could not pay the $6,000 burial fee.

From article linked in post #1.
The death records indicate that most of the children died of natural causes, from diseases common at the time such as TB, pneumonia and pleurisy.

Analysis of the records show that a third of those who died were aged five or under. Very few of those who died, 24 in total, were aged over 15, and most of the deaths occurred between 1870 and 1930.

I always thought it cost money ($$$) to bury Catholics at Catholic cemeteries. By that I mean that family, friends, or someone had to fork over money for the burial plot because they were free services?

Albeit, the Milwaukee Catholic Archdiocese has recently worked out an arrangement with the Milwaukee City Government where the Church will bury all indigent people in the city whose bodies are left unclaimed.

Milwaukee Archdiocese steps in to bury artist who died indigent and in isolation

Timothy Decker, once a successful wire sculptor who died indigent in Milwaukee County after living in the shadows of near isolation, was buried in bright sunshine Friday at Holy Cross Cemetery.

Friday's burial was the first in a new partnership between the Milwaukee Archdiocese and the Milwaukee County Health and Human Services Department.

The archdiocese will bury the bodies of indigents at no cost to the county, under the agreement. The county had been paying $1,000 for burials of bodies unclaimed by families or friends.


As for crimes against humanity... are you talking about tears dropped for spoiled whites in Europe or for the millions of "indigenous" non-white peoples from Africa to Asia to the Polynesian Islands to the Americas that white European governments massacred, enslaved, and looted from?

Europeans have given us in the United States the legal concept called "precedence." That being if spoiled whites can sue the Catholic Church for wrongs it establishes "precedence" for other institutions being sued by non-whites around the world. Western Governments and I assure you a number of major corporations and banks that inevitably will have parts of their fortunes traced back to the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade and the looting of the Americas, Africa, India, West Asia, and Southeast Asia.

I have never heard of this "Devil's Punchbowl" in Mississippi, so, I have no idea how true the claims made in this video are. But the claims are intriguing enough--and the geography with peach trees--for me to post it anyways. Part of the claim is that over 20,000 former black slaves died in 1 year in the "Punch Bowl" and were essentially left in mass graves.

People are so quick to believe horrible things about the Catholic Church. The number of pedophiles in the church is less than the general population. But a priest pedophile will get more press than a teacher. Yet teachers are more likely than priests.

It is always funny to see when someone is so blinded by their bias that they can't see the writing on the wall. Or as in this case the writing that that is in their own link. It does a good job of separating people who are concerned about facts and the those that are true believers such as the OP
