A Case That Broke Me ~ Eight Hundred Wee Souls ~ Part 3

The Bon Secours home was one of many such institutions in Ireland where unmarried pregnant women were sent to give birth in secret. 

Many were forced into unpaid labor, and their children often died from neglect, disease or malnutrition. Those who lived were frequently adopted out, sometimes illegally. 

In October 2018, the Irish government was to facilitate a full excavation of the mass grave site; and DNA testing This was not going to be a cheap task anywhere from 6 to 13 million pounds!!! The Commission did a very detailed report, which was finally completed in 2020; published in January 2021.

AS IT STANDS TODAY...

As of this week, the excavation of the site has begun. Catherine Corless was given an official apology. There has been an apology by the Catholic church, specifically from the nuns. They have gone so far as saying they were not very "Christian-like".

All I know is many,many babies and toddlers perished and were not even given the acknowledgment nor treated with an ounce of humanity. This is sooooo wrong!!!

I am going to end this here for now, as we wait for additional information. I really only have one question when it comes to stories like these... HOW DID VARIOUS RELIGIONS GET AWAY WITH SUCH HEINOUS CRIMES???
