It suited some families because of the stigma CREATED BY THE CHURCH. They couldn’t fight the church or they could become social outcasts.

As for how to proceed; it does not have to be either-or. It can be both through a DNA registry. Those who want to know if they have a connection register to be apprised of matches & those who do not want to know – not. Place the the remains from the sewer & other graves to a beautiful peaceful place to promote healing & closure for all.

The evil of the cloth. Didnt Mayer whether it was the muns, the brothers or the priests. It’s all the cloth. And they’ve been murdering for 1600 years. These are just the 1s we know about from recent years. May all these nuns and priests and brothers scream in hell forever for their sins and the hurt they caused to so many innocent women and children.

A story from my family: my uncle made a girl pregnant the local priest dragged him to altar by his ear and pointing at the girl said: this is your wife and to her: this is your husband. They are together for 50 years… what would an Irish priest do?I’m afraid to even imagine…

We are still in this ‘society’ but now worse

Kay, only you and Paula Bowen, well done to you both. This story has been uploaded as of 31/03/2017. I must say this is my first viewing. Coming from Australia, had no idea of the horrendous pain that the Mothers, Children and Families have and continue to suffer. Here in Australia, the Royal Commission into Instutional Child (sexual) Abuse- Inquiry period, 13/01/2013 – 15/12/2017. With the findings resulting in Archbishop Pells now being charged. Whilst the Royal Commission was “targeting”, for the want of a better word, specific cases, I wonder if this same “type” of inquiry could be undertaken in Ireland. Just a thought. Thank you outis888 for posting this sad, indeed necessary truth. I am in awe and indeed inspired at and by, the incredible resiliance of the kind hearted Irish Peoples I observed.

It ABSOLUTELY IS about the Catholic Church

It’s a disgrace that women were treated so low during that time that Ireland and others considered them great sinners according to their beliefs and the results were devastating for innocent children

In Tuam those small citizens were put into a sceptic tank You cannot be serious ? Ireland is primitive in its sensibility

Why can`t the church, can`t the state do more for these victims of religion? I´m ashamed being catholic…

Christianity has gone to rot. Sad. Not the Christianity of Jesus.

It’s assisted from the OFFICIAL report that the Congress is children had been disturbed and reburied post 1968.

It is ironic that these stories have been used to justify and rejoice in the abortion of unborn children today, I guess so things never change..
