It also shows that, once again, the media jumped on a disturbing story and hyped it before all the facts were in. Any Catholic could have told them that the Church has never had a policy denying baptism to the children of unwed mothers, so that "error" alone should have put the story into question.

the church to be has much bigger issues on its hand than interring children without baptizing them. (like why it constantly tries to block my civil rights, why it transferred its priests around etc.)

then do not give a rip what happens to the child after it is born. That statement just makes me sick.

and the apparent burial of at least some children in unmarked graves and perhaps without proper Roman Catholic rituals.
The thousands-in-the-septic tank story was corrected within a day by the Irish press, although the story that at least some remains were in a septic tank still has legs.

Members of my extended family experienced similar institutions in the U.S. I don't know of malnutrition and infant mortality in the American places but I have heard too many first hand accounts of life there to discount the tales from the Irish homes.

and no new feces was added to their collective coffin. Well that changes everything.
