The Opus Dei
Beast PR stunt of the day: Don’t blame the
holy Catholic virgin nuns because they didn’t do it alone.
Opus Dei PR
Deceits Team Strategy: from condemnation to approval … to
feel-good Catholic euphoria in up-coming visit of Irish monarch, Pope Francis.
The (MSM)
mainstream media belong to the Murdoch media empire joint with the Vatican. Controlled
by Opus Dei Beast PR Team – MSM journalists are now all saying that the nuns
had the legal approval of the state
and the support of the devout Catholics people of Ireland and the USA. The Americans bought - those healthy
babies whom the nuns sold for adoption. The Irish were silent - about the
babies dumped in septic tanks and unmarked graves whom the nuns killed -- in nuns’
houses they run throughout Ireland for women.
The Catholic Church condemned the
mortal sin of sex outside the Sacrament of Marriage committed by these
unwed mothers who were denied painkillers during childbirth as part of their penance
for their mortal sins.
The Irish Central headline was Don't just blame the church for Tuam, everyone covered it up.
This is Opus Dei Beast PR stunt of the day reiterated by MSM articles.
Ireland’s Journal heading and its first paragraph were: Here’s a letter giving state approval of Tuam mother and
baby home “THIS IS THE LETTER from the Minister for
Health’s office in 1957 that approved the Bon Secours mother and baby home in
Tuam, County Galway”. It intentionally does not mention the nuns who
run those “mother and baby home”. Does
anyone notice that it omitted the important word “nuns” after the identity “Bon
Secours”? Notice that all MSM headlines
do not mention the “nuns” - who did it – and they are now rationalizing and
justifying for the nuns (which no one would dare do for the Nazis; see our
compilation of news below and links to our other earlier compilations and
commentaries).
Even the long
heading of the Washington Post
covered-up for the nuns Born in Irish ‘Home’ of where hundreds of babies’ bodies may
have been discarded, American recalls its evil
(which again proves WP belongs to Opus Dei Beast PR Deceits Team empire).
Adding the four letter word “nuns” does not take too much space. Imagine today if headlines simply said: “Jews shoved into gas chambers” and does not
mention “Nazis” or Hitler? There’d be
uproar against the professionalism and honesty of MSM.
The
Irish Examiner delivered the lecture
on behalf of the Opus Dei Beast PR Stunt of the Day while it sweetly hinted
“Rome” and “Church” in its heading: From empire’s rule to the vice-like
grip of Rome: Irish did Church’s bidding over Tuam.
Then in many garrulous paragraphs - especially this one below - that sums-up the Vatican PR stunt - including
all statistics which the Opus Dei Beast PR Deceits Team have already prepared
months if not years in advance - for their handpicked Irish media and American
outlets to publish:
Bottom line: Don’t
blame only the holy virgin nuns, blame also the state and the people (just like
don’t blame John Paul II - he didn’t know about serial pedophile priest Marcial
Maciel and the 80 pedophile priests whom Irish Cardinal Bernard Law hid in
Boston).
The Roman
Catholic country of Ireland and the USA and the Roman Catholic stupid people
supported the stupid
nuns…who are the Catholic version of the Nazis. And nuns today are still stupid as they
support the Vatican Evil Empire despite all the evils being exposed by Christ
to the world.
What all
these Murdoch media
empire journalists – in cahoots with the Opus Dei Beast PR Deceits Team at the Vatican
- are saying in many words is that: Do
not blame the nuns because they had the support of the state and the people. What they are not saying also - is that the state and the people
were very Catholic and they all worshipped the pope and the Vatican norms as
infallible. And Ireland is now reverting
back to that Catholic state as it prepares for Pope Francis official visit –
when millions of dollars – hard-earned Irish taxpayers’ (in times of austerity)
will be spent for his spectacle of the hoax sorcery of the flesh of Christ in
the Eucharist.
Really, the
Vatican Titanic is sunken deep in the ocean of moral bankruptcy and has lost
all its moral authority especially when it comes to sex edicts by misogynist
popes and Opus Dei Pharisees eunuchs.
When Christ
initially inspired us to put photos of “stupid Catholics nuns” prancing at John
Paul II’s canonization, He said that “a small group of nuns can do immeasurable
violence to millions of women and children.”
We did not have the proof then of those “stupid nuns” -- but it eventually came out – that fast - one
month after the canonization. So now we
are putting the stupid Catholic nuns – with other photos below.
Catholic
Nazis nuns outlived the Nazis
The Nazis
shoved Jews into the gas chambers from 1941-1944 while stupid Catholic nuns
shoved sick babies into septic tanks and unmarked graves from 1925-1961. The Catholic Nazis nuns outlived the Nazis,
imagine that! Read compilation of news
below and Philomena author, Martin Sixsmith’s article 800 dead Irish babies just the beginning
The Vatican
and Jesuits also supported the Nazis of Hitler. The Franciscans hoarded the wealth for the Nazis. The Vatican Bank and secret Vatican Swiss Banks hoarded for the Nazis.

The power of
the stupid nuns of Bon Secours (ironically in French, it means “good help”)
were fed by the power of the state and the powerful faith of devout stupid
Roman Catholics, including parents, who sent their daughters to the nuns homes
to give birth to their “illegitimate” babies who delivered their babies without
painkillers as “penance” for their mortal sins, see news compilation below).

Opus Dei Beast PR
Deceits Team control the MSM
Except for a few handful journalists who refuse to sell
their soul to the Devil
a.k.a. Vatican Mammon Beast a.k.a. Opus Dei Beast, all MSM belong to
the Murdoch media empire joint with the Vatican.
See how Murdoch
empire can deceive - the entire continent of Australia in cahoots with Prime
Minister Tony Abbott (a “Cooperator” of Opus Dei), read here
http://popecrimes.blogspot.ca/2014/06/australia-investigate-catholic-mafia.html And Ireland is
only a small piece of (cake) land compared to vast Australia.
The 800
babies in septic tank dumped by nuns history is being manipulated to prepare
the trip of Pope Francis to Ireland – so be wary of the hidden strategy of the
Opus Dei Beast PR Deceits Team - as they design ceremonies to make Pope Francis
look like a superstar (with his teddy bear podgy ass that papal fart at stupid
Catholics. In Ireland, stupid Catholic
nuns and stupid Catholics will prance as Francis-Maniacs and attend his
Eucharist where he will clone Christ’s flesh-and-blood even when he cannot
clone an ant or a dog.
State
ceremonies are being planned to make Pope Francis as the visiting monarch of
Ireland and the Prime Minister will kiss his ring and kowtow to him…to
reiterate that Ireland is a Catholic state with Catholic “values”. What they are not saying is more important
than what they are saying. All those
papal pomp and photo-ops are crucial and the Irish ambassador was recently
re-appointed because Ireland’s wealth is owned by the Vatican - just like
Switzerland is owned by the Vatican and all those secret Vatican Swiss Banks
are run by the monarch pope’s Swiss Guard Army.
The Opus Dei controlled
John Paul II’s 27 years papacy until his canonization as a saint. Opus Dei wrote John Paul II’s historic
apologies– in pompous papal ceremonies - for many of the Pope Crimes and Vatican Evils in the
2,000 years existence of the Catholic Church – except he never apologized for his own actual crimes of
the JP2 Army. The same thing is now happening
with Opus Dei controlled Pope Francis who is apologizing for everything else’s
sins except his own crimes of theft at the Vatican Bank and secret Vatican
Swiss Banks.
Opus Dei made
John Paul II a superstar in his 27-years globetrotting papacy so they are experts in deceiving the
media. They made sure JP2 never
mentioned the word “pedophile priests” from his holy lips – in all his speeches
- even if he knew them well from Cardinal Bernard Law, the Irish Cardinal of Boston
who aided and abetted more than 80 pedophile priests of the JP2 Army – John
Paul II Pedophile Priests Army – named aptly after him who said nothing and did
nothing to save and protect children. Christ
inspires and impels us to tell the world that He is a prisoner of the Vatican
Catholic Church and He wants to be set free from gold tabernacles and set free
especially from Pope Francis, the greatest thief of mankind and impostor and
pretender of Jesus. Read our related article, Hidden Heist in the Holy
See. The SECRET biggest heist in the history
of mankind! Pope Francis is the Greatest THIEF on earth. http://pope-francis-con-christ.blogspot.ca/2014/02/hidden-heist-in-holy-see-biggest-heist.html
Notice in the compilations of news of this Irish nuns’ and 800 dead
babies in septic tank under their care -- in all news titles, Opus Dei Beast PR Deceits Team made sure - that there is no mention of
the word “nuns”. Opus Dei
protects priests and never call them pedophile – they say in vague terms
“clergy sexual abuse” – clergy Catholics, Protestants? See our compilations where we pointed this
out in our commentaries here:

The Catholic version
of World War Z
Catholic version of Nazis = Roman Catholic Nuns
Are there Vatican
Mammon Beast male and female mercenaries? Behold, the JP2 Army –John Paul
II Pedophile Priests Army and after the canonization of John Paul II the Great Patron Saint of Pedophiles and Rapists...now...drums roll...the Catholic Nazis Nuns!
One of Ireland’s most outspoken priests, Mr. Brian D’Arcy said, “When I first heard the news that more than 800 babies were buried in what was formally a septic tank I was astonished – because initially I thought it happened in some famine-stricken country today. Then I thought I was hearing about Nazi Germany. But when I realised it happened in Ireland during my own lifetime to children in the care of religious sisters, I was overcome with a deep sorrow bordering on depression.” See compilation of news below.
The capability of holy virgin (holy means they dress like Mary and eat the flesh of Her Son Jesus in the Eucharist sorcery) nuns to simply dump live sick babies into a septic tank or unmarked grave is beyond inhuman and cruel and it can only equal those of the Nazis, as Mr. Brian Darcy calls them.
The Catholic World War Z: Battle between Jesus and Pope Francis, the Pretender and Impostor of Jesus and Biggest Thief in mankind's history.
The festive prancing of Catholic stupid nuns and 1 million
stupid Catholics who were in Rome for the canonization of (false) Saint John
Paul II didn’t diminish and put a lid on the scandals and skeletons of the
Vatican Catholic Church. In fact, the
daily chant to “Saint John Paul II” in the Eucharist Mass and Rosary worldwide –
(like the eerie sound in the movie of Brad Pitt, World War Z, that turned
normal people into zombies) – is turning
1.2 billion Catholics to be more evil (and their souls ugly like zombies) as
they worship and feed the voracious appetite of the Vatican Mammon Beast. Christ inspires and impels us to tell the
world that He wants to be independent and unconnected from Pope Francis and all
priests and nuns - and that the sound of Opus Dei Beast made prayers to “Saint
John Paul II” (is like World War Z) that’s now causing the Irish dead babies to speak out from their septic
tank and unmarked graves in testimony against the Vatican Mammon Beast and
Vatican Evil Empire.
The headline of the article in Irish Central today
is Don't
just blame the church for Tuam, everyone covered it up -
the newspaper is right - because Pope Francis is the biggest thief of mankind
and he also cannot do it alone – everyone is covering him up and cooperating
with him especially the 1.2 billion stupid Catholics Francis-Maniacs chanting
at St. Peter’s Square (like zombies in World War Z) and in Catholic churches
worldwide. Christ is giving so many
proofs why the Vatican is the most evil power on earth and its members of 1.2
billion stupid Catholics – especially the stupid nuns - are guilty of
sustaining the Vatican as the apex of the 1% wealthiest of the globe - who exploit,
steal and hoard the wealth of the other 99% poor people and poor nations in the
secret Vatican Swiss Banks run by the Pope’s Swiss Guard Army because
Switzerland is owned by the Vatican!
And the Vatican also exploit poor nations via the Vatican
Concordats. Catholics who make
pilgrimages to the Vatican and take photos of those tall white handsome Swiss
Guard Army impoverish millions of poor people - more and more - with every
click of their camera.

From JP2 Army to Catholic Nazis Nuns
From the American lawsuits of almost 3 billion
dollars paid to the decades of suffering of silent little boys and girls (they could speak but were not adult enough
to could go to court) who were victims of the JP2 Army – John Paul II Pedophile
Priests Army, and the 25 year old SNAP who brought their cases to The Hague and
the United Nations, it is now the skeletons of babies who are
speaking out from their graves – in an unmarked grave and a septic tank in
Tuam, Ireland.
The Catholic evil roots of Catholic Ireland (that
sent thousands of missionaries to the Catholic world) are now speaking from
its evil graves. Christ want to be divorced permanently from His greatest Pretender and
Impostor Pope Francis who happens to be the biggest thief of mankind whose
proofs of his heist which are insurmountable for generations to come to trace.
Unlike the secret files of pedophile priests which
were released by judges (see the Los Angeles files http://popecrimes.blogspot.ca/2013/01/los-angeles-files-mahony-must-be-jailed.html
) and unlike the science of DNA that can trace
the cause of death of those 800 skeletons that are buried in stupid nuns’ homes
in Ireland, there is no trace for thousands of
accounts in the Vatican Bank and the most secretive Vatican Swiss Banks,
read here http://pope-francis-con-christ.blogspot.ca/2014/02/hidden-heist-in-holy-see-biggest-heist.html.
Christ inspires and impels us to tell the world that
He wants to be freed from the prison of the Vatican and the prisons of gold
tabernacles in Roman Catholic churches worldwide and He is sending all the
proofs and reasons why – via those live children (SNAP) and now those dead
babies in Tuam, Ireland.
The Opus Dei Beast PR Deceits Team kept claiming the
ignorance of John Paul II on the serial pedophile Marcial Maciel, but there is
still Cardinal Bernard Law who provided information on 80 pedophile priests in
Boston and their potential thousands of victims which prove the JP2 Army – John
Paul II Pedophile Priests Army named aptly after the 27 years globetrotting
superstar pope who said nothing and did nothing to save children. But instead, Pope Francis and his Opus Dei
Beast PR Deceits Team must have expected the Vatican (Roman) Catholic Church to
simply go back to the good old days
when 1.2 billion Catholics simply kowtowed and pray the robotic Rosary and go
to church and eat the (fake) flesh-and-blood of Christ in the Eucharist.
Ireland priest compares nuns to NazisOne of Ireland’s most outspoken priests, Mr. Brian D’Arcy said, “When I first heard the news that more than 800 babies were buried in what was formally a septic tank I was astonished – because initially I thought it happened in some famine-stricken country today. Then I thought I was hearing about Nazi Germany. But when I realised it happened in Ireland during my own lifetime to children in the care of religious sisters, I was overcome with a deep sorrow bordering on depression.” See compilation of news below.
The capability of holy virgin (holy means they dress like Mary and eat the flesh of Her Son Jesus in the Eucharist sorcery) nuns to simply dump live sick babies into a septic tank or unmarked grave is beyond inhuman and cruel and it can only equal those of the Nazis, as Mr. Brian Darcy calls them.
Stop calling all priests “Father"
Notice that we don’t call the reverend Mr. D’Arcy as
“Fr.” because priests and popes do not deserve that title which should belong
only to biological and adoptive fathers who actually toil daily with their
sweat and paycheck to feed, cloth, house, and educate their children – while
Pope Francis and cardinals, bishops and priests sit in the lap of luxury
prattling theology and do absolutely nothing for the daily welfare of
children.
Spending years in the comfort of a seminary and
getting a degree in theology and being ordained by a well-fed fat golden cow
idle bishop do not qualify a man to have the title of “Father”. Any intelligent
woman today can amass all that theological knowledge that priests have. In fact, some Protestant women priests or
women preachers can preach better than many boring gay priests on the pulpit
especially those who are so effeminate like the Emeritus Pope Benedict
XVI-RATzinger who sounded like an old women every time he spoke.
New Irish nuns today rationalize the past
One of Ireland’s newest nuns, Sr. Liz
Deasy (41) who entered the Cistercian community of 32 other nuns at St Mary's
Abbey, Glencairn, Co Waterford last year, says, "I was horrified by the headlines
but that was then, and this is now,
and a lot of those women had nowhere else
to go." Her statement sounds
like she is justifying what the nuns did was excusable -- that those unwed
mothers’ sick 800 babies had nowhere else to go but the cesspit – and the evil
stupid nuns’ crimes are easily absolved by the myths of Mass of Atonement and
the robotic Rosary. And those nuns have
now hired an expensive PR firm typical of the PR firms of Pope Francis for the
scandal plagued Vatican Bank and the cardinals and Bishops for their infested
dioceses of the JP2 Army – John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army.
Inner voice from Jesus
Any inspiration, that small inner voice, always
takes time to grow, and God always takes time to send proof for it. When Christ inspired us to caption cheering
hysterical nuns at John Paul II’s canonization as “Stupid Catholic nuns
worshipping the Opus Dei Beast new Golden Cow Saint John Paul II”, we didn’t
have proof to go with it, and so we didn’t put their photos. Christ reasoned with us that “a few nuns can
do so much violence to hundreds and thousands and countless women and
babies. While the bestial JP2 Army –
John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army – harmed the older children and sodomized
them to Biblical Proportions, the nuns harmed the newborns, the little ones who
couldn’t speak. If those sodomized
little boys and girls – who could speak already – remained silent for decades
about their abuses from priests, these newborn babies will never be able to
speak. Those nuns cheering at St.
Peter’s Square are part of the bones that sustain the Vatican Mammon Beast and
those nuns feed the narcissistic power of Pope Francis the greatest Pretender
and Impostor of the Son of God who cannot clone and ant and a dog and therefore
cannot clone My Flesh either. Put the
photos and caption now so Kathy Shaw of Abuse tracker will be your witness –
just like she witnessed that Christmas in 2010 when you first wrote that the
JP2 Army – John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army are like the Nazis, both are an
all-make hierarchy born out of the Devil’s Bowels”. Read the original article here http://jp2army.blogspot.ca/2011/01/nazis-and-john-paul-ii-pedophiles.html

Below is an image from NASA that's dubbed as the "Hand of God". Can Pope Francis and priests clone a star in the sky, or an ant or a dog on earth? So how can they be so arrogant as to claim that they can clone the Son of God who created this mysterious "Hand of God" in the sky?
"If even the moon has no brightness And the stars are not pure in His sight, How much less man, that maggot, And the son of man, that worm!" Job 25:5-6 NASB
How long will you people turn my glory into shame? How long will you love delusions and seek false gods? Psalm 4:2 NIV
Nicknamed the "Hand of God," this object is called a pulsar wind nebula. It's powered by the leftover, dense core of a star that blew up in a supernova explosion...One of the big mysteries of this object is whether the pulsar particles are interacting with the material in a specific way to make it look like a hand, or if the material is in fact shaped like a hand.
The Catholic World War Z: Battle between Jesus and Pope Francis, the Pretender and Impostor of Jesus and Biggest Thief in mankind's history.
There is a big battle
going on between Jesus Christ and the Opus Dei Beast, and between St.
Michael the Archangel and the Vatican Mammon Beast. The more Pope Francis burbles pathological lies and canonizes false
saints like John Paul II to deceive mankind, the more hidden hideous Vatican
evils are exposed by Jesus Christ because He wants to show the world
that -- the Vatican is the root of all evil -- and He wants to be set free from
the Vatican Satanic Eucharistic sorcery and gold tabernacles worldwide where He
is cloned and imprisoned to be used as bait only to feed the Vatican Mammon Beast.
Pope Francis, his papal nuncios with convenient diplomatic passports (for money laundering), the Opus Dei Beast, the Legion of Christ, the Jesuits all exploit Christ and use His Name as an obverse to collude with despots, imperialists of monopoly capitalist countries - see http://massalijn.nl/new/gfmd-an-insult-to-migrants-and-refugees/ , drug lords and the globe’s wealthiest 1% echelon --- whose wealth are hoarded in secret Vatican Swiss Banks run and protected by the Pope’s Swiss Guard Army. All young men are required to serve at the Swiss Guard Army because the Vatican owns Switzerland, another tiny “neutral” country albeit a little bigger than the Vatican country of 800 people (what a joke, size half a USA High School and women and children are forbidden).
The kings and queens, despots and presidents, the globe’s 1% wealthiest - who attended the canonization of John Paul II were there to thank Pope Francis for their free access to secret Vatican Swiss Banks where they hide their loots from poor countries and poor people. Pope Francis is the biggest thief in mankind - http://pope-francis-con-christ.blogspot.ca/2014/02/hidden-heist-in-holy-see-biggest-heist.html and he is the worst pathological liar for preaching on behalf of the poor when the fact is he colludes with the imperialists and despots who steal from the poor nations.

The bestial JP2 Army sexually tortured little boys
and girls while the Catholic Nazis Nuns killed babies by dumping them in
cesspit of feces and urine. These Catholic religious male and female fanatics
prove the Vatican Satanic Eucharistic sorcery of the cloning of Christ’s
flesh-and-blood feed their cold-blooded religious evilness and superiority over
laity.
The bestial JP2 Army – John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army proves the impotency of popes and priests to clone Christ in the Eucharist because
they cannot clone ants and dogs either.
Now, the Catholic
Nazis Nuns prove the impotency of Pope Francis and priests who do
absolutely nothing for the welfare of babies and children and women hence
they must cease being called “holy father”. From the Vatican Palace to church homosexual
rectories, Pope Francis and gay priests – especially the autocratic Pharisees
Opus Dei Beast eunuchs - are all out-of-touch
with reality of the poor - and they contribute nothing for the daily needs and
protection of women and their children and babies whose valid biological or
adoptive fathers daily toil and sweat for them.
Jesus and His Mother want to be set free from the
cold-hearted Eucharist sorcery and robotic rosaries that numb the consciences of 1.2 billion Catholics towards their fellow
little brothers and sisters - who are silent victims of popes and bestial
priests and now victims of murderers Nazis-nuns. Jesus and His Mother also want to set free
the victims of the biggest thief of mankind, Pope Francis, especially to set
free his victims of billions of poor people and the poor nations who are
victims of the Vatican Concordats. http://popecrimes.blogspot.ca/2013/10/abolish-vatican-concordat-in-dominican.html
Two Vatican Policies:
“Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” and stonewalling
-“Deny until they die”
In this 2010 cartoon of the Vatican War Room, there
are actually two policies
going on.
First, the fat pope states: It would appear that our “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy
is
no longer working for the “Pedophile Scandal.”
Four years later in 2014, now, the words “Catholic Nazis Nuns” can be added beside the bestial
JP2 Army – John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army positioned in many parts
of the map of the globe. As author Martin Sixsmith
wrote, “Sadly, from my own experience working on Philomena,
I know justice is not easy to come by. Church
and state have repeatedly failed to help mothers whose children were sent for
adoption in the 1950s and 1960s; some accuse them of operating a 'deny until they die' policy of stonewalling.”
Below is a compilation of news from June 7-9 about
the Irish Catholic Nazis Nuns who killed babies in a cesspool of feces and
urine.
Timing of Irish news and UN CAT
The Opus Dei Beast PR Deceits
Team chose to announce the return of the one-man staff new Irish ambassador to
the Holy See at the same time as the (UN CAT) United Nations Committee Against
Torture was deliberating their verdict on the Vatican. Then the Opus Dei Beast tactically waited
after the UN Report has passed before revealing this horrendous bombshell Irish
news of 800 babies’ skeleton found in a septic tank of a house of Catholic nuns
– ironically called Good Shepherd Nuns - in Ireland. Shouldn’t this Irish news of evil nuns would
have been more appropriate to match the bestial JP2 Army who sexual tortured
hundreds of thousands of little boys?
Then the Opus Dei Beast chose D-Day commemorations
to overshadow the news of the Vatican Church’s version of the Nazis – which
Christ inspires us to call them as Catholic Nazis-Nuns. And the
Opus Dei Beast is now actively doing damage control -- by manipulating the
media – so that they do not mention the nuns in their headlines - and not
to say septic tank but instead say “mass grave” - to make it sound like an
ancient feel-good archeological findings in the Old Testament or in the era of
the Vikings. And the Opus Dei Beast puppet Archbishop of Tuam, has reacted
saying: "The archdiocese did not have any involvement in the running of
the home, and had no records in its archives.
One of the few investigative journalists who put the
nuns in their titles was in Daily Mail (UK)
I thought I'd seen
it all. Then I found nunn’ secret grave
for 800 babies. By
Philomena writer MARTIN SIXSMITH. He wrote:
And there are similar signs of buck-passing in this case. The
Archbishop of Tuam, Michael Neary, said he is 'greatly shocked' by the news, but he is quick to blame others.
“There exists a clear moral imperative on the Bon Secours Sisters to act upon
their responsibilities." This buck-passing is typical
of all bishops and cardinals who covered-up the JP2 Army as illustrated in the
cartoon above of the Vatican policy of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy”. The strategy of the Opus Dei beast PR Deceits
Team is to keep the secrecy until the people wear out and simply fall for the
feel-good Mass of Atonement - the sorcery of the Eucharist - and stupid
Catholic women blindly follows the Opus Dei Beast duck dance of wibble wobble
of the podgy ass of Pope Francis as he burble pathological lies for the Vatican
Mammon Beast and usurp billions of dollars from poor nations via the Vatican
Concordats.
99.9% news headlines still do not mention that it
was the stupid Catholic evil nuns who were the horrendous dictators who either
sold babies of unwed mothers – or who dumped those loathed mothers’ sick babies
into a septic tank, those 800 skeletons found in Tuam, Ireland born between
1927-1961. The Nazis lasted for five
years from 1940-1945 because D-Day in Normandy of allies of nations acted
together to defeat one common enemy. But
the Catholic equivalent to Nazis – those stupid nuns lasted for more than 34
years in Ireland, in Tuam - and there
are more possible mass graves in septic tanks -- in the many houses they run as
“The Home” for Ireland’s lowest class citizens.
Those were ostracised women who had sex outside the Sacrament of
Marriage and thus were inferior to the holy virgin nuns who controlled their
lives and either sold or killed their babies by simply dumping them in their holy shit filled septic tank.
The Irish Holocaust of babies can only match those
of the Jewish Holocaust in gas chambers.
Someone has repeatedly told us after we’ve identified Hitler and John
Paul II as allies in crimes against humanity and after we matched his JP2 Army
with the Nazis born out of the Devil’s Bowels, “You ain’t seen nothing yet –
wait till you see those evil Catholic nuns, they are worse than the JP2 Army
because they are bestial murderers of thousands countless babies, cold-blooded
murderers of babies while dressed like the Blessed Virgin Mary – they buried
live babies in walls of convents or dumped them in septic tanks or unidentified
damp sites”! Below is a compilation of
news from June 7-9. Read our related

Irish Holocaust

Stupid Roman
Catholic Nuns buried 800 babies in a septic tank in Ireland! Set Jesus free

with compilation of news from June 1-3
Those Irish Holocaust babies were dropped into a vat of feces and urine
William
Rivers Pitt in Truthout wrote:
“...and while the newly-minted Pope Francis has put a broadly-grinning happy face on
Catholic doctrine, the fact of the matter is that women took the
brunt of the consequences when they were raped and got pregnant, or
had sex and got pregnant, because of the Church's ironclad
teachings.
The children, also. The nuns charged to care for the children of The
Home deliberately ostracized them from the other children in the community,
starved them, neglected them, disdained them, because they were the offspring of "fallen"
women who had dared to get pregnant outside of the bonds of holy Catholic
matrimony. The so-called
"sins" of the mother were visited brutally and harshly upon their
children.
You see, that septic tank those boys found in 1995 was filled with the
bones of some 800 children who had been delivered in The Home. Malnutrition and
neglect, measles and tuberculosis and pneumonia, compounded by disgust for the
mothers who bore them, laid waste to these children. Their remains
were not buried, or burned, or even thrown in a trash heap. They were dropped into a vat of feces and urine, and at the
time of this printing, their bones remain there still.”
The Good Shepherd Sisters, as all Roman Catholic orders of nuns, as well
as the corporate Roman Catholic Hierarchy, are
fond of defending the sanctity of human life, particularly when it is merely a
clump of cells smaller than a thumbnail. But apparently a life that has begun in the arms of a
forlorn and frightened mother, but has ended in misery, can be consigned to a cesspit.
That merely a clump of cells smaller than a thumbnail is the small cell removed in abortion. The best explanation as to why abortion
should be legalized in the book, Letter to a Christian Nation
From the new afterword by the author:Humanity has had a long fascination with blood sacrifice. In fact, it has been by no means uncommon for a child to be born into this world only to be patiently and lovingly reared by religious maniacs, who believe that the best way to keep the sun on its course or to ensure a rich harvest is to lead him by tender hand into a field or to a mountaintop and bury, butcher, or burn him alive as offering to an invisible God. The notion that Jesus Christ died for our sins and that his death constitutes a successful propitiation of a “loving” God is a direct and undisguised inheritance of the superstitious bloodletting that has plagued bewildered people throughout history. .
Babies Prisoners of Nazis-Nuns: No D-Day allies to save the children and
their unwed mothers
There were no allies to unite to defeat those
Catholic Nazis Nuns in Ireland because they wore the white habit of the Virgin
Mother of God and the priests claimed (still do) the power to clone Jesus the
Son of God Creator of the vast universe.
The Name of Jesus and the Virginity of His Mother have been used for
centuries as cloak and shroud of powers for priests and nuns and most of all
those Pope Crimes and Vatican Evils – but Christ inspires and impels us to tell
the world – that it is time for them to
be stopped now - in the beginning of the 21st century and to achieve
this colossal defeat, the first thing to do is cut off the head (of the snake)
of the Vatican Mammon Beast – that head is Pope Francis with his podgy ass duck
dance of his false magical power to clone Christ in the Eucharist.
The world and women must unite as allies to topple down the
Vatican
Christ inspires and impels us to tell the world and
women to unite like allied forces of D-Day - not to physically cut off Pope
Francis’ head (because the Vatican Mammon Beast has many heads i.e. Opus Dei
and Jesuits) but to strip him off his key papal power in the Satanic Mass of
the Eucharist. And that must begin with
the 80% of Catholics- those stupid women who are the bulk of church goers and they
must begin by training their children to stop calling priests as “father” because
children must call only their legitimate natural or adoptive fathers - as their
rightful “Father”. Women must partner
only with their husbands or fathers of their children. Women must not espouse hypercritical gay
priests as “other-fathers or co-fathers” of their children because these gay
priests are all impostors of Jesus and they cannot clone ants and dogs and
therefore cannot clone Jesus Christ either.
The Vatican (and Vatican Swiss Banks) is the worst
thief of mankind and Pope Francis is the biggest thief in humanity’s history,
read here =http://pope-francis-con-christ.blogspot.ca/2014/02/hidden-heist-in-holy-see-biggest-heist.html. Popes and priests steal not only the money of
nations in the Vatican Concordats -- and steal the 99% wealth of nations by
hoarding the wealthiest 1% of the globe in secret Vatican Swiss Banks -- they
also steal the core identity of men especially fathers. Foremost Vatican Pied Piper, John Allen
continues his endless theft of identities on behalf of his employer the Vatican
i.e. Wikileaks into Vatileaks, G-8 nations into the C-8 cardinals (it’s now
become G-7 so will Pope Francis make it also 7 Cardinals now?) And Opus
Dei Beast Captain John Allen is now stealing the glory of Nelson Mandela by branding
Pope Francis as the “new Nelson Mandela”, read more about John Allen here- In Israel, Pope Francis clones Christ’s flesh

Pope Francis controls Wall Street and despots wars
The real Mother Mary of Jesus was not silent or
stupid like nuns
Stupid Catholic women and nuns should learn from the
real Mary the Mother of Jesus brought Him to the synagogues and the Temple of
Solomon when he was a boy and all He did was questioning the powers of the
Pharisees High Priests – that’s in the fifth Joyful mystery of the Rosary. But as an adult Jesus stopped going to the
synagogues because He saw the evil of organized religion and the hypocrisy of
those holy High Priests Pharisees who usurped the money of the poor but
outwardly prayed like robots which the Opus Dei does with the Angelus and the
Rosary and daily Eucharist. His mother
followed Him throughout His ministry and likewise stopped going to church.
Then Jesus did the unthinkable, he cursed the Temple
of Solomon (prescribed in detail by His Father in the Bible) to the ground –
except perhaps for the jewels or wealth that King Solomon accumulated and
hoarded in the Temple brought by kings and queens – this would be tantamount to
the Vatican Bank and secret Vatican Swiss Banks because the Vatican owns Switzerland,
hence the Swiss Guard Army that train all Swiss men to be obedient to the Pope,
the monarch of Switzerland.
Jesus’ Mother followed His curse on the Temple of
Solomon and all its wealth 2,000 years later.
In the Third Secret of Fatima when she appeared to Sr. Lucy and the
other two young children, she showed them an image of Hell where there are
thousands of pedophile priests burning because of their crimes against children
and she predicted that the Vatican will also be destroyed like the Temple of
Solomon - that not one pillar at St. Peter’s Square will be left standing -- because
Her Son is not part of the Evil Vatican.
In the Temple of Solomon Jesus got angry and drove the merchants and
overthrew their tables of money – they would be equivalent to the secret Vatican
Swiss Banks today. That is why, all the
popes never revealed the real Third Secret of Fatima or there’d be a countdown
at St. Peter’s Square.
Stupid Catholic women and nuns should learn from the
real Mary and not the plastic idle statues like the IDLE giant statue of St.
Joseph at the Oratory who watched for 50 years over the College Notre Dame
(named again after Mary) where hundreds of students were sodomized by pedophile
priests, read here =http://popecrimes.blogspot.ca/2013/11/oratory-of-saintjoseph-pedophile.html
Mary inspires us to tell the world that she finds
the sound of callous heartless Rosary like the sound of a broken record, read
why the Rosary could not defeat the JP2 Army – John Paul II Pedophile Priests
Army here http://jp2m.blogspot.ca/.
But how do you enlighten 1.2 billion Catholics that Jesus
Christ wants to be set free from the Vatican -- and that Christ is like the air
they and mankind breathe-in – Christ cannot be cloned by priests – in no matter
shape or form in the white host and wine – and Christ cannot be imprisoned in
gold tabernacles like the air -- and that they do not need to go to evil Vatican
Catholic Churches to worship Him because as He said, “The Kingdom of God is
within you”? Christ keeps telling us
that ALL of the 1.2 billion Catholics support directly the Vatican Mammon Beast
and the secret Vatican Swiss Banks that hoard the wealth of the 1% wealthiest
people in the globe, hence Pope Francis is responsible for all wars and
violence in the world.
Typical of its strategy as in the JP2 Army – John
Paul II Pedophile Priests Army, the Vatican Catholic Church has already distanced
itself as the Archbishop said “the church has no records and we must not judge
the past” (see compilation of news below with our emphases). He washed his hands and says that the church has
no records of them – just like cardinals and bishops keep denying about
pedophile priests – or they’d spend millions of dollars on lawyers’ fees to
keep their records from the public like Cardinal Mahony did in Los
Angeles.
Most headlines still do not mention that it was the
stupid Roman Catholic nuns in Ireland who were responsible for dumping 800
babies found in a septic tank between 1927-1961 and the Archbishop has washed
his hands (like Pontius Pilate) and said the diocese has no records of
them.

Amazing how Jesus has lose his Middle East roots and Jewish identity (albeit born in Bethlehem, Palestine, a Muslim country) and lose His Biblical mission as a poor itinerant preacher for He has become Roman Catholic and hostage of the most tiny country - the Vatican City where He is also the most caged captive in gold tabernacles by tyrant evil popes – those 2,000 year old chameleons Pretenders and Impostors of Jesus and con-artists CON-Christ popes. From mass murderers, thieves, pedophiles, gays, adulterers like the Borgias, to John Paul II the Great Saint of Pedophiles, to Pope Francis the Worst Thief of Mankind – all popes use Christ as their mask, disguise and bait to serve one master alone –the Vatican Mammon Beast a.k.a. Opus Dei Beast ruling in the Vatican Palace - with only one goal - to preserve the Vatican Billions in secret Vatican Swiss Banks because the Vatican owns Switzerland. Hence there’s the unique Swiss Guard Army wherein all Swiss young men are required to go and serve at the Vatican before they can become bankers, investment managers and civil officers in Switzerland because the Vatican pope is its sole monarch. Believe it or not! There was a former Swiss Guard who came to Boston to recruit investors as he was the CEO of an investment company, read about him in our other blog http://popecrimes.blogspot.ca/2011/10/opus-dei-seminar-on-pope-and-ceo-world.html
Pope Francis, the two new pope saints John XXIII and John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and all popes definitely do not resemble one iota Jesus the Poor Carpenter of Nazareth and Poor Fisherman in the Sea of Galilee! All movies portray Jesus as tall, lean and handsome but all popes, his assumed ‘Vicar of Christ’, have been FAT like COWS podgy, white and really hideous and repugnant they need the long white papal robe to constantly segue attention from their ugliness. Just look at the porky ass of Pope Francis that control 1.2 billion Catholics and the media world with his duck dance of wibble wobble Opus Dei Beast PR stunts. Look at this gigantic poster in Rome of porky ass Pope Francis with the two fat popes new saints he canonized –John XXIII and John Paul II the 27 years globetrotting narcissistic pope – who said nothing and did nothing to protect children from his JP2 Army – John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army aptly named after his 27 years globetrotting papacy - and 1.2 billion stupid Catholics now adore them as their new fat Catholic Golden Cows.

Tuam babies cry not for justice but for vengeance
But in
Ireland we have never
pursued the people responsible for horrors such as the little bodies in the
cesspit.
Emer O'Kelly

Seventy years ago, on the
orders of a maniac, little children and babies were herded into barren camps in Germany and
occupied Poland by men in black uniforms. They were starved to death in those
camps; sometimes they had hideous medical experiments carried out upon them
while alive, so hideous the silence of death was probably merciful. And when
they died, their little bodies
were thrown into huge pits. Because they were scum: Jewish scum.
And since then we have
called what was done in those camps the greatest collective evil ever carried out by humankind.
Twenty years ago, the
opposing tribes who comprised the population of a country called Rwanda festered in such hatred for each other that one tribe took to the
ritual slaughter of the other in an attempt to wipe its existence from the face
of the earth. And often the mass of slaughtered bodies, including those of
little children, and comprising 20 per cent of the country's population, was so
great that they were flung
unceremoniously into great pits. Because they were scum: tribally inferior
scum.
A year later, a town was
wiped off the face of the earth in a place called Srebrenica in what had until recently been Yugoslavia, the flower
of its youth, the young men and boys,
marched into woodland where they were ritually slaughtered, and their bodies
thrown into huge pits. Because
they were scum: Muslim scum.
And the men who gave the
orders and supervised the slaughter went on the run. But the world pursued
them, and charged them with crimes against humanity.
And in Ireland, where there
is still a widespread smugness about our decency and our devotion to the Faith
of our Fathers, the Virgin Mother of God, and the efficacy of the Holy Rosary,
a pit has been found filled with the skeletons of tiny babies and small
children, 800 of them, dumped in the pit which some prefer to call a "mass grave" but is
actually a septic tank.
While nobody is
suggesting they were summarily executed as in other atrocities, those little bodies were dumped
into that great, shameful pit because in this Ireland of ours they were scum;
scum conceived in sin, and born of harlots guilty of the greatest sin of all:
sex outside Holy Roman Catholic marriage.
It is the latest chapter
in a long catalogue of horror. But in Ireland we have never pursued the people
responsible for such horrors; we have accepted their pleas of
corporate poverty and have not pursued them for moral and emotional justice.
Even our Taoiseach, brave
enough and compassionate enough to break down on the floor of Dail Eireann as he
apologised to the women incarcerated in the Magdalene Laundries as slave
labour, said in his initial comment on the Tuam horror that he wants to know
the "scale" of such hideous violations of decency.
Just one baby torn dead from the womb of a lonely, frightened girl; just
one three-year-old toddler shrivelling to nothingness from malnutrition; just
one eight-year-old already worn and bent from physical labour and dying of
untreated tuberculosis: just one of any
of them howls to the moon for more than justice. It howls for vengeance.
We now know that the State "knew" of
the stinking hole in Tuam as far back as 1972. If it knew, so did the
perpetrators who dug that hole and consigned pale, cold, tiny corpses to it.
They are the Good Shepherd Sisters, who
said after the emergence of the nightmare that they "welcome" the
fact that the State will investigate.
People who are now only
middle-aged were teenagers in 1972; will they rise up and say
"enough is enough"? Will they howl down those who say it was "a
different era"? Will they refuse to accept that the people who carried out
such ghastly violations of decency were "doing their best"?
Will they accept the justification that "harsh discipline was the
culture of the time"? Above all, will we all howl our rage when we are
told that the people who violated all sense of humanity were doing a "charitable act in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ"
because others refused to do so?
Dr Sarah-Anne Buckley, an
academic at NUI Galway, has carried
out research into such horror nationwide. She says that the mortality rate of
babies and children in "mother and baby" homes around the country was
known officially over the years to be 50 to 60 per cent. Even at a time when
tuberculosis and other killer diseases were rife, and when even measles was a
danger to life, that was three times more likely in the religiously run,
"charitably motivated" homes for unmarried mothers and their children
than in the general population. But in the phrase coined by a great journalist of the Sixties from the neighbouring county in
relation to another scandal: nobody shouted stop.
Dr Michael Neary, the Catholic Archbishop of Tuam,
has reacted: "The archdiocese did not have any involvement in the running
of the home, and had no records in its archives."
Outrage has been
expressed in Dail Eireann: in measured terms rather than in outrage. Only one
person, Independent TD Catherine Murphy, has pointed out that if this grim and
ghastly discovery had been
made anywhere other than in ground relating to a Catholic institution, it would
now be fenced off as a crime scene.
But nobody has pointed
out that during the years (1925 to 1961) when the Good Shepherd Sisters ran the
Tuam Home for Unmarried Mothers and their Children, a
woman found guilty of having thrown her dead child into a pit, or even of
secretly disposing of the sad little corpse with frightened love and anguish,
would have been dragged before the courts and harshly sentenced.
The Good Shepherd Sisters, as all Roman Catholic orders of nuns, as well
as the corporate Roman Catholic Hierarchy, are
fond of defending the sanctity of human life, particularly when it is merely a
clump of cells smaller than a thumbnail. But apparently a life that has
begun in the arms of a forlorn and frightened mother, but has ended in misery,
can be consigned to a cesspit.

'I thought I'd seen it all. Then I found nuns' secret grave for 800
babies': By Philomena writer MARTIN SIXSMITH
--Catholic
Church took 60,000 babies for adoption in the 1950s and 1960s,
- Many
sent to America in return for large payments disguised as 'donations'
- Martin
wrote about one case in his book Philomena, later made into a film
- News
of the mass graves at Tuam finally made the newspapers last week
- Religious community's site had primitive
conditions with babies neglected
- Infection and disease ran unchecked;
measles and dysentery killed hundreds
- Two locals, Catherine Corless and Teresa
Kelly, set out to uncover the truth
- Catherine calculated nearly 800 babies were
buried beneath the estate
In nearly two decades as a foreign correspondent, I
covered stories of mass graves in far-flung locations in Eastern Europe
and Russia. The thought of them has remained lodged in my memory.
But never did
I expect to be covering a mass grave from modern times on my own doorstep; I
thought Western and Northern Europe was immune from such horrors.
Yet that is exactly what I came across in January
this year in the small Irish town of Tuam in County Galway, an ugly place with
its rundown streets and council estates.
SQUALID: Children in the 'care' of
the Sisters of Bon Secours in 1924
On a grey, rainy afternoon, I was taken to a patch
of land in the centre of one such estate. Surrounded by houses built in the
1970s, on the edge of a scruffy playground, I found a plaster statue of the
Madonna on a pile of stones, incongruously sheltered by an old enamel bathtub.
Beneath it were the bodies of nearly 800 babies.
The remains of a forbidding 8ft wall nearby were
a clue to the place's history. Until 1961 this had been the site of a
Catholic religious community run by the Sisters of Bon Secours.
They had bought the workhouse in the 1920s and
converted it into a home for unmarried mothers. For the next 36 years, the nuns
took in thousands of women. In those days, sex outside marriage was proclaimed a mortal sin.
More...
The Church said the girls were 'fallen women' and
degenerates. Their crime had to be hidden, their babies delivered in secret
behind high walls, and their children taken away.
News of the mass graves at Tuam finally made the
newspapers last week, but I had heard of the site and visited the shrine five
months ago while researching a BBC TV documentary about the estimated 60,000
babies that the Church took for adoption in the 1950s and 1960s, many of them
sent to America in return for large payments disguised as 'donations'.
I had written about one such case in my book
Philomena, later made into a film starring Judi Dench.
The hundreds of letters I received from mothers and children forcibly separated by the nuns, and still seeking each other even now, made me painfully aware of the full human tragedy behind Ireland's mother and baby homes. But Tuam had other, even darker secrets.
The site where the
bodies of nearly 800 babies lies was the site of a Catholic religious community
run by the Sisters of Bon Secours until 1961
I talked to local
residents and met John, now in his 80s and one of the first to move into
the estate in October 1972, who told me how children made a grim discovery on
the grassy area. He said: 'Not too long after we came here they were playing
football and they saw something they thought was a ball or something. They
kicked it around, but when we looked at it we saw it was a child's skull.'
Worse was to follow. 'The
local lads used to go fishing in the river', John said. 'They needed to dig for
worms and one day they lifted up some old slabs that had been lying since
before the estate was built...'
What the boys found was
horrific. The slabs concealed the entrance to a Victorian septic tank built for
the workhouse. Its original function had ceased in the 1930s when mains
sewerage came, but the nuns had seemingly put it to a new and grisly use.
'We children
burst open the slab...the tank was full of skeletons'
Barry Sweeney, one of the
boys there that day, says: 'It was a concrete slab, but there was something
hollow underneath it, so we decided to bust it open and it was full to the brim
with skeletons. The priest came over and blessed it. I had nightmares over it.'
Like all the mother and baby homes run by the Church, conditions in Tuam
had been primitive. The girls were denied basic medical care and refused
painkillers for even the most difficult birth because the pain was 'God's
punishment for your sin'.
Their babies were neglected, crowded into communal nurseries where
infection and disease ran unchecked. The result was a shamefully high death
rate, with measles and dysentery killing hundreds.
Infant mortality was
often five or six times worse in the Church's homes than in the rest of
Ireland, and judging by accounts of what went on there it is hardly surprising.
'Nellie', a former inmate
in Tuam, spoke to me on condition that I would not use her real name.
Martin wrote the book Philomena, later made into a film
'I came in pregnant and
was put to work in the nursery,' she said. 'It was awful. There was no medicine and the babies were
always getting sick. When one of them caught something, they would all get it
and nuns did nothing about it. The worst was the green diarrhoea. It just
poured out of the little things. It was so bad that you couldn't even put
nappies on them. They just lay there in it.'
Nellie's daughter
survived, but many didn't. 'There was nothing you could do. Their diet was
terrible, there was overcrowding and disease, and no doctor to call on. There
were babies dying every day.' The Tuam home was demolished in 1972 and the nuns departed without any
mention of the dead babies.
But rumours continued to
circulate until two local people, Catherine Corless and Teresa Kelly, set out
to uncover the truth. 'We all knew about the "home babies”,' Catherine
told me. 'But the place was behind 8ft walls and nobody was allowed in.'
Catherine and Teresa
consulted old maps and documents, gathering whatever information they could.
The stories about the sewage tank began to make sense. 'Some locals do
remember,' she told me, 'that grave diggers would be seen late at night
bringing out children and putting them in there. They were without coffins,
just wrapped in white shrouds.'
Catherine went to the
records office in Galway. 'There was a nice girl there. I'm not sure she was
supposed to, but she dug out the old records of all the children who died, with
their ages and what they died of...'
By collating the data, Catherine calculated that nearly 800 babies were
buried beneath the housing estate. 'I was utterly amazed when I realised that I
had the names of 796 babies. The causes of death were measles or
septicaemia, abscesses, convulsions, tuberculosis or pneumonia; lots were aged
three to six months, and then quite a lot of one and two-year-olds. It's
heart-breaking reading through all the names.'
The scandal of the babies in the mass grave was
discovered by local historian, Catherine Corless
An inspection report from
1944 reveals the sorry state of many of the 333 babies then at Tuam.
Most, aged between three
weeks and 13 months, are described as 'fragile, pot-bellied and emaciated', 31
are listed as 'poor babies, emaciated and not thriving'. There is a 'miserable,
emaciated child with
voracious appetite and no control over bodily functions'; a 'delicate'
ten-month-old 'child of itinerants', and a five-year-old with its 'hands
growing near its shoulders'.
A nine-month-old is
described as 'emaciated with flesh hanging loosely on limbs', and the child's
mother is said to be 'not normal'.
'Unnamed,
unrecognised children lie in mass graves across Ireland'
The report concludes that
the mortality rate was 'high', with 300 deaths between 1943 and 1946. With so
many babies perishing, the nuns had used the septic tank as a convenient
depository, turning it into a mass grave. Catherine Corless believes that what
is now the playground also conceals buried remains.
A Church
that sets such store by the sanctity of human life and its opposition to
abortion showed very little respect for the young souls in its care, and that rankles with Teresa Kelly.
'The nuns
left without doing justice to those children', she says. 'They walked away and
left the babies there. I don't understand how anyone could just cover over all
that and forget that all that happened.'
When the story of the
grave began to emerge, a local couple took it on themselves to keep the burial
site tidy; it was they who put up the makeshift shrine with its bathtub. But
Teresa says she won't rest until a proper memorial is erected. 'We want to put those children's
names on a plaque and get them up on the wall. They deserve to have a name, the
day they were born, the day they died. Their mothers don't know where
they're buried. People will be looking; they deserve to know.'
Now people are looking. A
relative of a child born in Tuam has made a formal complaint to the Irish police that could trigger
exhumations at the site. William Joseph Dolan was born on May 21, 1950,
to a young single mother called Bridget Dolan. The institution's records carry
the scribbled word 'died', but no further information. Bridget reportedly told
her family that William had been sent for adoption in America. His relative,
who does not wish to be identified, says: 'I just want to know what happened to
him. There is no death certificate. He could still be alive or he's in the
grave.'

Sixsmith with Judi Dench in the film Philomena
Pressure is growing for a
proper investigation. The Irish Minister for Children, Charlie Flanagan, has
called the revelations about Tuam and other mother and baby homes 'deeply
disturbing' and 'a shocking reminder of a darker past'.
The Dolan case may force
the government to take action, but it is unlikely Tuam is an isolated case.
Catherine Corless says: 'I know there are other mass graves and there are people wanting to
recognise them. There are mass graves all over Ireland. Unrecognised,
unnamed children. Here in Tuam we hope to have some justice for them.'
Sadly, from my own
experience working on Philomena, I know justice is not easy to come by.
Church and state have
repeatedly failed to help mothers whose children were sent for adoption in the
1950s and 1960s; some accuse them of operating a 'deny until they
die' policy of stonewalling.
And there are similar signs of buck-passing in this
case. The Archbishop of Tuam, Michael Neary, said he is 'greatly shocked' by
the news, but he is quick to blame others.
'As the diocese did not have any involvement in
running the home, we do not have any material relating to it. There exists
a clear moral imperative on the Bon Secours Sisters to act upon their
responsibilities.'
But when Catherine Corless approached the Sisters,
they told her: 'We haven't got one single record. We gave everything over to
the county council and then it went to the health board, so we have absolutely
nothing on the home.'
When I phoned a spokesman for the Bon Secours
Sisters, she was charming, but said that the nuns were old now; they aren't
able to talk to the media and there is really nothing they can do.
'Through the passage of time, the sisters who would
have served at the home are now deceased. Unfortunately, I cannot take the
matter any further.'
It is a statement that puts me in mind of the final
scene of the film Philomena when Steve Coogan, playing a semi-fictional version
of me and furious at being fobbed off by the Church, storms into a
convent and threatens to throw the old nun
who ran the mother and baby home 'out of that f***ing wheelchair!' Melodramatic
perhaps, but sometimes that's what it takes.
Philomena, by Martin
Sixsmith, is published by Pan Macmillan, priced £7.99. The film is out on DVD.

The bodies of 796 babies and children were found next to the former children's home at Tuam, Co. Galway
Author battled clergy to gain first-hand experience of
mother-and-baby homes
Jerome Reilly
Published 08/06/2014
"We wouldn't allow a girl to take her baby to
bed with her unless it was at least two months old. Then she is probably fond
of it. Before then there might be accidents." – Reverend Mother of Bon
Secours mother-and-baby home in Tuam
THE year was 1955 and the nun was speaking to Dr
Halliday Sutherland, a Scottish doctor, author and TB treatment pioneer who
visited both the Tuam home run by the French sisters, and the infamous
Magdalene Laundry in Galway City as he was researching his book, Irish Journey.
To gain access to the Magdalene Laundry, Dr
Sutherland had to accept interrogation by the fearsome Bishop of Galway,
Michael John Browne –
one of the most senior Catholic clerics and a noted supporter of the notorious
sectarian boycott of Protestants in Fethard-on-Sea.
Dr Sutherland's original 1955 manuscript kept by his
grandson Mark (hallidaysutherland.com) is a remarkable contemporary account of
what he found at the Tuam mother-and-child home 59 years ago.
He wrote: "At Tuam I went to the old workhouse,
now the Children's Home, a long two-storied building in its own grounds. These
were well-kept and had many flowerbeds. The home is run by the Sisters of Bon
Secours of Paris and
the Reverend Mother showed me round. Each of the sisters is a fully trained
nurse and midwife. Some are also trained children's nurses. An unmarried girl
may come here to have her baby. She agrees to stay in the home for one year.
During this time she looks after her baby and
assists the nuns in domestic work. She is unpaid.
"At the end of a year she may leave. She may
take her baby with her or leave the baby at the home in the hope that it will
be adopted. The nuns keep the child until the age of seven, when it is sent to
an Industrial School. There were 51 confinements in 1954 and the nuns had now
120 children. For each child or mother in the home, the County Council pays £1
per week. That is a pittance.
"If a girl has two confinements at the home she
is sent at the end of the year to the Magdalen (sic) Home Laundry at Galway.
Children of five and over attend the local school. All the babies were in cots
and the Reverend Mother said: 'We wouldn't allow a girl to take her baby to bed
with her unless it was at least two months old. Then she is probably fond of
it. Before then there might be accidents.''' Dr Sutherland also wrote a
harrowing account of being mobbed by "a score of the younger
children" at the home, in the hope he might adopt and give them a family
home.
"The whole building was fresh and clean. In the
garden at the back of the House, children were singing. I walked along the path
and was mobbed by over a score of the younger children. They said nothing but
each struggled to shake my hand. Their hands were clean and cool. Then I
realised that to these children I was a potential adopter who might take some
boy or girl away to a real home. It was pathetic. Finally I said: 'Children,
I'm not holding a reception.' They stopped struggling and looked at me. Then a
nun told them to stand on the lawn and sing me a song in Irish. This they did
very sweetly. At the Dogs Home, Battersea, every dog barks at the visitors in
the hope that it will be taken away."
Dr Sutherland later met Bishop Browne and made a
contemporaneous note of the often hostile exchanges as he tried to get
permission to visit the Magdalene Laundry.
Bishop Browne: "Why do you want to see the
Magdalene Home?"
Dr Sutherland: "I want to see how you treat
unmarried mothers. Many of these girls come to England. It is said that 55 per
cent of the girls in British Catholic Rescue Homes are Irish."
Bishop: "That is propaganda. Fr Craven began
it. Cardinal Bourne repeated it. For 25 years I have asked for the figures.
They can't give them. Do you know the figures?"
Sutherland: "No, I'm trying to get them."
Bishop: "You will find there are only a few.
Hundreds of decent Irish girls are going to England. At this moment your
government are advertising high salaries for Irish girls to go to England as
nurses in your mental hospitals."
Sutherland: "English priests say that most of
the Irish lose their faith within six months of coming to England."
Bishop: "Then why don't your English priests
look after the Irish instead of throwing bastards in our face!"
Sutherland: "My Lord, no-one is throwing
bastards in your face. Ireland is a Christian country where going to Mass is a
social duty difficult to avoid."
Bishop: "That is normal. It should be so in
England."

THE body of a 15-year-old boy who was brutally beaten and died a few
days later in hospital lies in a communal unmarked grave. John Pyke had no
family to claim his remains or ask why he died days after he was beaten with a
leather strap at an industrial school in Tralee, Co Kerry.
Historian, author and columnist Ryle Dwyer, who grew up within a
mile of St Joseph's Industrial School or Christian Brothers' Monastery, which
was demolished in the eighties, said he wasn't surprised to hear about the
discovery of a mass grave near Bon Secours Mother and Baby Home in Tuam, Co
Galway.
He says when the murder of a child in Tralee went uninvestigated it
was not any surprise to hear the burial of children in an unmarked mass grave
had been covered up.
John Pyke's death certificate states: 'Bilateral Pleural Effusion.
Senility Certified.' This was later amended to read: 'Bilateral Pleural
Effusion. Septicaemia Certified.'
The teenager was first brought up by nuns in Dublin and then sent to
the monastery, aged seven.
In February 1958, Pyke was suffering double pneumonia, had lost his
appetite and was beaten by Br Conor Lane in the dining hall in front of the
other boys for not eating.

"Children that were earmarked to go over to the United States

"And I have no doubt there were probably children who might

We need to dig 'babies graves': Ground Penetrating Radar reveals two
'anomalies' beneath Tuam Home site
By ALISON O'REILLY and NEIL MICHAEL
An expert survey of what is thought to be the burial site of 796
babies in Tuam has uncovered two areas of interest where anomalies in the soil
indicate likely human activity beneath the surface.
The survey recommends further investigation and experts say if we
are to find out anything more a dig would be necessary.
The Irish Mail on Sunday can also reveal that the Sisters of Bon
Secours, who are at the centre of the scandal, had the remains of 12 members of
the order exhumed and re-buried in a cemetery in Knock before they abandoned
their base in Galway in 2001 – after selling property to the Western Health
Board for a reported €4m.
Meanwhile, Government sources say that an inquiry into the scandal
is inevitable and will probably be announced within the next few days.
The ground penetrating radar survey carried out by a top engineering
company on behalf of the MoS revealed there are ‘two anomalies’ on the site at
the centre of the Tuam babies scandal.
The specialised radar showed two areas at the site which are likely
to be man-made or unnatural structures; one a box-like structure and another a
wide area of up to 48 square metres which has been covered over and which
contains items of denser material than the surrounding soil.

TWO senior gardai are to conduct a "fact-finding" mission
into the deaths of 796 babies believed to be buried in a mass grave in Tuam,
the Sunday Independent has learned.
The officers were appointed on Friday, on foot of a request by
Justice Minister Frances Fitzgerald to gather the "facts" behind
reports that almost 800 children were buried near a disused septic tank at a
mother and babies home that was run by the Bon Secours nuns.
They have been asked to gather all surviving records, including
death certificates and the ledgers kept by the mother and baby home until it
closed in 1961. Crucially, the officers are also expected to carry out
preliminary tests on the site of the suspected mass grave, which lies on the
edge of a housing estate in the Galway town.
The exploratory inquiry marks the first step in an official Garda
response to the revelations, as yet another religious scandal that was

THE full extent of the horrendous conditions children were forced to
live in at the Tuam mother-and-baby home, where up to 300 infants are buried,
are revealed in an official inspector's report obtained by the Sunday
Independent.
The damning 1947 report, compiled after a visit to the home, paints
a picture as grim as the harrowing accounts of starved children that emerged
from Romanian orphanages after the fall of Ceausescu in the early 1990s.
It tells how children were suffering from malnutrition and in many
instances were pot-bellied – a sign of starvation. The report records children
as having wizened limbs, with many described as being 'mentally defective'.
One child is described as 'a miserable, emaciated child with a
voracious appetite and no control over bodily functions', while another is
reported to be 'emaciated, with flesh hanging loosely on limbs'.
It also reveals that the home was crowded with 271 children and 61
mothers living there at the same time. This number exceeded the 'desirable'
level of 243, according to the inspector.

Christopher Quirin, 63, was born to a single mother in Ireland in
1950, a time when such a thing was considered an unspeakable disgrace. Back
then Quirin’s mother was sent by her parents to the now notorious Sean Ross
Abbey in Roscrea, Co. Tipperary, the same mothers and babies home as Philomena
Lee. Lee is the woman whose shocking life-story inspired the recent Academy
Award-nominated movie starring Judi Dench.
Lee and Quirin’s mother had children just two years apart, and
Quirin says he imagines he must have played in the same rooms as Michael, Lee’s
boy who was later adopted by the American couple Doc and Marge Hess.
Unlike Lee, however, after beginning his new life in America Quirin
was left to piece together the details of the one he had left behind with no help
from a dedicated senior journalist or the nuns at Sean Ross Abbey.
Because of the shame attached to their origins and the desire to
prevent the birth mother from ever tracing her offspring at a later date, to
this day adoption records have been closely guarded by the religious orders and
the Irish state.

New revelations about unauthorized
vaccine trials
MARY ELIZABETH WILLIAMS
It gets worse. One week after
revelations of how over the span of 35 years, a County Galway home for unwed
mothers cavalierly disposed of the bodies of nearly eight hundred babies and
toddlers on a site that held a septic tank, new reports are leveling a whole
different set of charges about what happened to the children of those Irish
homes.
In harrowing new information revealed
this weekend, the Daily Mail has uncovered medical records that suggest 2,051
children across several Irish care homes were given a diphtheria vaccine from
pharmaceutical company Burroughs Wellcome in a suspected illegal drug trial
that ran from 1930 to 1936. As the Mail reports, “Michael Dwyer, of Cork
University’s School of History, found the child vaccination data by trawling
through tens of thousands of medical journal articles and archive files. He
discovered that the trials were carried out before the vaccine was made
available for commercial use in the UK.” There is no evidence yet – and there
may never be – that any family consent was ever offered, or about how many
children had adverse effects or died as a result of the vaccinations. Dwyer
told the Mail, “The fact that no record of these trials can be found in the
files relating to the Department of Local Government and Public Health, the
Municipal Health Reports relating to Cork and Dublin, or the Wellcome Archives
in London, suggests that vaccine trials would not have been acceptable to
government, municipal authorities, or the general public. However, the fact
that reports of these trials were published in the most prestigious medical
journals suggests that this type of human experimentation was largely accepted
by medical practitioners and facilitated by authorities in charge of children’s
residential institutions.” In a related story, GSK revealed Monday on Newstalk
Radio that 298 children in ten different care homes were involved in medical
trials in the sixties and seventies that left “80 children ill after they were
accidentally administered a vaccine intended for cattle.”

Women who gave birth at the notorious Bessborough
mother-and-baby home in Cork were not allowed pain relief during labour or
stitches after birth, and when they developed abscesses from breast-feeding
they were denied penicillin.
One nun who ran the labour ward in 1951 also forbid
any “moaning or screaming” during childbirth. Girls in poverty, who could not
afford to make donations to the Sacred Heart order, had to spend another three
years after their babies were born cleaning and working on the lands around the
Cork city home to ‘make amends’ for their pregnancy.
Such work often included cutting the home’s
“immaculate lawns” on their hands and knees — with a pair of scissors.
Before they left the home, their three-year-olds,
with whom they would have established a strong emotional bond, were removed
from them and fostered, put up for adoption, or sent to an orphanage — often
with only hours’ notice.

DEATH rates at a Dublin mother-and-baby home were
almost as high as mortality rates at the Bon Secours home in Tuam, recently
released records held by church authorities have revealed.
The Dublin death rates are coming to light as
official inquiries by gardai and a number of Government departments get
underway into the deaths of almost 800 children at the Tuam home in a 36-year
period ending in 1961.
Documents that belonged to former Dublin Archbishop
John Charles McQuaid, who died in 1973, show that St Patrick’s mother and baby
home at Pelletstown in Cabra also had high death rates in at least one year.
The records show that one in every three babies died in the home on the Navan
road in 1933.

The Pelletstown death rate was 34pc in that year
while, at the same
time,
the annual death rate in the County Galway convent-run home in Tuam was 35pc.

Investigation into child vaccine trial halted in 2004

The investigation into a vaccine trial on children in mother and baby homes, which politicians and Catholic Church leaders are now calling for, has previously been dealt with by the High Court, which declared one invalid in June 2004.
The Archbishop of Dublin, Dr Diarmuid Martin, yesterday called for a properly constituted commission to examine issues raised by the discovery of mass baby deaths at St Mary’s mother and baby home in Tuam, Co Galway – including allegations that medical trials were carried out on children.
The 2004 court ruling followed a challenge to a government order directing an investigation into such vaccine trials, under the aegis of the Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse. The challenge was brought by retired UCD professor of microbiology Irene Hillary.
Professional reputation
Prof Hillary had expressed concern about the implications for her professional reputation of the establishment of an inquiry into the vaccination trials under the aegis of a commission set up to inquire into the issue of child abuse.
Previously, in July 2003, a unanimous judgment by the Supreme Court upheld an appeal by the late UCD professor Patrick Meenan against a High Court decision which had directed him to give evidence before the vaccine trials division of the Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse.
Born in Irish ‘Home’ of where hundreds of babies’ bodies may have been discarded, American recalls its evil

Peter Ferris Cochran is a tall, tanned North Carolina man who likes his blazers colorful, his trucks big and, if conditions are to his liking, his head shielded by a baseball hat. He speaks in a slow drawl that immediately identifies him as a Southerner, and once owned a successful business called Cochran & Associates in the North Carolina beach town of Emerald Isle.
Nothing about Cochran would alert those around him of the unusual circumstances under which he came into this world. That his name was once Andrew Michael Gallagher. That, by birth, he’s not a Southerner or even an American. That he’s Irish, born in 1957 in the now-infamous Tuam center for unwed mothers in western Ireland, where the remains of nearly 800 babies–796 according to one historian’s estimates– may have been discarded in a massive septic tank. The full extent of what happened is now the subject of investigation, with authorities using ground sensor equipment to explore the tank.
“This was the information I’ve grown with over the last 50 years, and of every bit I knew was that this was a very evil orphanage,” he said Sunday afternoon in a phone interview. “It was evil for the orphans and it was evil for the unwed mothers. My mother was persecuted for out-of-wedlock sex, and the Catholic Church was just adamant about celibacy before marriage.”

On the day that the papal nuncio to Ireland, Archbishop Charles Brown, told the US-based Catholic News Service that he saw “that Irish Catholicism had entered a new springtime,” representatives of the Association of Catholic Priests (ACP) were trying to convince a group of Irish bishops that the Irish Catholic Church was facing, among other things, a vocational crisis of enormous magnitude.
Archbishop Brown said that young Irish seminarians he met at St Patrick’s College, the national seminary in Maynooth, and in Rome, showed a “renewed enthusiasm for their faith”. That may well be true, but the numbers are miniscule.
Figures on the bishops’ own website show the age profile of Irish priests. Over 65 per cent of Irish priests are aged 55 or over. There are only two priests under the age of 40 in the Archdiocese of Dublin. A priest in Killala diocese, Fr Brendan Hoban, pointed out that there has been a priest and celebration of the Eucharist in his parish –Moygownagh – since the eighth century. But he believes he will be that last priest in that parish. At the moment there is a priest in every parish in Killala. Within 20 years there will be seven serving 22 parishes spread out over a wide area. The situation is much same in other dioceses.

I’m sure I’m not the only one who, upon seeing the dramatic splash screaming “800 BABIES” in the Irish Daily Mail, stared at it incredulously. It took days for it to sink in, as I tried to find out more. I think it’s a version of this personal process that unfolded as a collective, national one.
Journalists who stuttered on this “story” will contextualise it on a news agenda that was coming out the other side of a rollicking election, and the implosion of the Labour Party leadership. The news came from an unfamiliar source, a local historian compiling research. The initial break came in a local newspaper, not a blockbuster Prime Time or an Irish Times front page.
It all happened so long ago. The facts were scant. They were allegations. Tread softly, I’d imagine news editors thought, because this seems so big – surely we would have known about it before? We still don’t know all of the facts, but we know the context. We all know by osmosis the horrors committed in this State. It’s oral history. We all heard our parents talk about dodgy priests, creepy buildings at the top of the town and babies not deserving of burial in consecrated ground, its soil fertilised with hypocrisy.
THE TUAM TANK: ANOTHER MYTH ABOUT EVIL IRELAND
IRELANDSpiked
BRENDAN O’NEILL
EDITOR
The obsession with Ireland’s dark past has officially become unhinged.
For proof of the maxim that ‘A lie will go round the world while truth is pulling its boots on’, look no further than the Tuam 800 dead babies story. Courtesy of a modern media that seems more interested in titillating readers with gorno than giving us cool facts, and thanks to a Twittermob constantly on the hunt for things it might feel ostentatiously outraged by, the story about babies being dumped in an old, out-of-use septic tank by nuns at a home for ‘fallen women’ in Tuam in Galway made waves in every corner of the globe. Then, a few days later, having finally strapped its boots on, the truth - or at least a more sober analysis of what might have really happened in Tuam - staggered on to the stage. And it was a very different story to the fact-lite, fury-heavy tale that had already gone round the world.
The speed with which the work of one local researcher in Tuam became a global story was amazing. Catherine Corless has been looking into the Mother and Baby Home run by nuns in Tuam for years. The home, which was active between 1925 and 1961, took in single women who were pregnant, which was considered a terribly sinful state to be in in early to mid-twentieth century Ireland. Corless discovered two things during her research: first, that between 1925 and 1961, the deaths of 796 children were registered by the nuns who ran the Tuam home; and secondly that in 1975 two boys in Tuam discovered an old septic tank on the grounds of the then-closed home, smashed through the concrete covering and saw skeletal remains inside. A fairly vague posting about these findings was put on to a Facebook page, and then all hell broke loose.
Galway mass baby grave: All homes for unwed mothers to be part of inquiry
IRELANDBelfast Telegraph
BY RALPH RIEGEL – 09 JUNE 2014
The Irish government will include all major mother-and-baby homes in an independent inquiry commission after the dramatic intervention of the Archbishop of Dublin, Diarmuid Martin.
Dr Martin said that only an independent inquiry led by a senior judicial figure could now provide the answers required from Ireland's escalating mother-and-baby home scandal.
The move will be confirmed once gardai have concluded preliminary investigations into claims that 796 babies were buried in a septic tank near the Tuam, Co Galway, home, which was run by the Bon Secours nuns.
Justice Minister Frances Fitzgerald has appointed two senior gardai and they will immediately begin work examining the Tuam mass grave claims.
A government source said last night that any wide-ranging commission of inquiry cannot interfere with garda investigations.

The Government is rightly under pressure now to investigate the circumstances in which these children died
Once again, Ireland is being forced to face up to another element of our dark and shameful past.
The discovery of hundreds of children buried in a septic tank on the site of a former “mother and baby home” in Tuam has served as a horrifying reminder of the abuse Irish women and children were subjected to for decades.
Women who were stigmatised and forced into institutions just because they became pregnant outside of marriage.
Children who were branded “illegitimate” from birth, treated as second-class citizens, and forced to live in conditions that put their health and lives at risk.
As the discovery of the mass grave in Tuam has so starkly reminded us, thousands of children died in these homes.

Like millions across the world our hearts ache for the
families who have suffered and are suffering because of the stunning
callousness and deceit by Catholic officials who ran the now infamous Tuam
center for unwed mothers. We simply can’t imagine the horrors they have endured
and the lifelong trauma that suffering has caused.
The horror at Tuam will be dealt with adequately, we
believe, only if the women who suffered there can overcome their grief enough
to band together and seek justice. We hope they will do so.
History shows that healing, justice and truth-telling
happens best when those who are hurt move beyond their pain and shame and
organize.
As Frederick Douglass once said, “Power concedes
nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.”
We beg the women whose babies and toddlers were taken
from them at Tuam to first and foremost take good care of themselves, by
sharing their pain with others they love and trust, and by seeking professional
help from independent sources.
But we also beg them to reach out to one another, and
to independent sources of help, and use their voices to advocate for themselves
and other mothers who have been exploited by Catholic officials.
Then, we call on every single Irish priest to reach
out to as many of the moms of these horrible homes and beg them to share their
stories, get help and start healing.

Warum die Frauen trotz der Gräueltaten in solche Kloster gingen,

"Es war das schlimmste Verbrechen, das eine Frau begehen konnte. Selbst

They were speaking to IrishCentral about the mothers and babies
secreted away to The Home, an 1840’s institution run by the Bon Secours sisters

One of them is Paul Kanahan, 46. Yesterday he took the long drive to

Inspired by news reports, Kanahan told IrishCentral he made the trip
to the unmarked grave site to pay his respects to the Home Babies and reflect
on his own experience as a Home Baby from another notorious mother and baby
home called Castlepollard in County Westmeath.
An adoptee and now a father himself, Kanahan found his birth mother
and sister in 2010 through a series of lucky breaks and with the health of a
priest and a Facebook page for adoptees from the Castlepollard Mothers and

We need to know why the death rate among 'illegitimate' children was
so high, writes Gene Kerrigan
How come hundreds of children died in the care of a Catholic Church
institution in Tuam? And how come some – if not all – of them were disposed of
like spoiled fruit? Dumped beside a septic tank. Why did it happen?
What do we know about this country that might explain how such a
thing could happen?
And let's leave aside the unbearable thought that there were more –
many more – children, in other locations, who had similarly short lives and who
were disposed of with similar lack of human dignity.
It didn't just happen. It wasn't just bad management. It took years
of organisation, strategies of intimidation and control. And, let's face it, it
took a citizenry steeped in fear and reverence.
A population that was deferential. People who did what they were
told. People who didn't dare ask questions.
Not, of course, that dumping the bodies of almost 800 kids near a
septic tank was the object of the exercise – that was just a byproduct. Just
some human waste that had to be tucked away in a suitable place.
It was about sex and power. It was about the right of the Church to
do whatever it thought necessary to preserve its domain. It stemmed from a
hierarchy of old men who were obsessed with sex.

One woman who knows the truth of how nuns in Ireland of the late

Letters she obtained from her adoptive parents detailing how she was

poorer single mothers.
The nuns cautioned the prospective parents not to pick a child of
the ‘wrong class’, and to take a young child as ‘the better class girl has to
leave here quickly so as not to be detected in her sorrow’.
In a letter dated July 26, 1961, sent to the adoptive parents of
Mary Lawlor, the sister in charge of the Roscrea institution reads:
'We had a wonderful reference from your priest and we think you
should take a baby over six months… the baby will be brought up just as you
would bring your own child up and a child of two years has been too long in an
institution to fall easy into your ways. We have a very nice little girl Mary
Margaret who is of good background and very intelligent,’ the nun wrote.
Speaking to the Irish Mail on Sunday, Mary Lawlor said the nuns also

Mothers at the Bessborough mother-and-baby home in Co Cork,
privately referred to as "a secret penitential jail", were refused
all social contact with the outside world, and not allowed to even speak with

Former inmates believe up to 3,000 children are buried in unmarked

John Barrett, who was born at Bessborough on July 17, 1952, told the

Tuam, I can guarantee you that there are thousands buried at Bessborough. I
would estimate from my information that there are probably between 2,000 and

The infant mortality rate at Bessborough in the late Forties was 55
per cent – meaning burials would have been taking place on a weekly basis.
The young women were routinely forbidden from attending the funerals
of their babies and, in one case, a woman who lost her baby received nothing
more than a pair of his shoes as she was sent home.

Seventy years ago, on the orders of a maniac, little children and
babies were herded into barren camps in Germany and occupied Poland by men in
black uniforms. They were starved to death in those camps; sometimes they had
hideous medical experiments carried out upon them while alive, so hideous the
silence of death was probably merciful. And when they died, their little bodies
were thrown into huge pits. Because they were scum: Jewish scum.
And since then we have called what was done in those camps the
greatest collective evil ever carried out by humankind.
Twenty years ago, the opposing tribes who comprised the population
of a country called Rwanda festered in such hatred for each other that one
tribe took to the ritual slaughter of the other in an attempt to wipe its
existence from the face of the earth. And often the mass of slaughtered bodies,
including those of little children, and comprising 20 per cent of the country's
population, was so great that they were flung unceremoniously into great pits.
Because they were scum: tribally inferior scum.
A year later, a town was wiped off the face of the earth in a place
called Srebrenica in what had until recently been Yugoslavia, the flower of its
youth, the young men and boys, marched into woodland where they were ritually
slaughtered, and their bodies thrown into huge pits. Because they were scum:
Muslim scum.
And the men who gave the orders and supervised the slaughter went on
the run. But the world pursued them, and charged them with crimes against
humanity.
And in Ireland, where there is still a widespread smugness about our
decency and our devotion to the Faith of our Fathers, the Virgin Mother of God,
and the efficacy of the Holy Rosary, a pit has been found filled with the
skeletons of tiny babies and small children, 800 of them, dumped in the pit
which some prefer to call a "mass grave" but is actually a septic

There was a time in rural Ireland when the amount of money donated
by individuals and families to various Catholic Church collections was read out
from the altar by the local priest at Sunday Mass.
As the priest intoned his way through the names, listing whether
they gave five shillings, 10 shillings, one pound, or even the odd five pounds,
it was a public affirmation of where people were placed in the social
hierarchy. Those financially better off were obviously near the top of the
contributions list, those doing not too badly in the middle, and the really
hard done by somewhere near the bottom.
So when it came to monies for Christmas or Easter Dues, or whatever
the awesome power of unquestioned Irish Catholicism expected at the time,
everybody knew and accepted their place. This was determined by their economic
circumstances. And it would be unmarried mothers from the five shillings – or
less – contributions figure, who would most likely end up in places like the
converted Famine workhouse run by the nuns in Tuam, now at the centre of
international controversy.
Those who want to get their heads round the fact that the bodies of
nearly 800 babies and young children were seemingly disposed of in such
shocking circumstances need to transport themselves back to the Ireland we had
from the 1920s to the 1960s. It is absolutely pointless, when trying to
understand the motives of the nuns involved, applying the norms of this more
affluent, mainly secular, better informed age, to the psychological rigidity of

Twenty years I’ve been at this, promoting and advocating for the
rights of adopted people in and from Ireland (and in the US). We’ve talked,
cajoled, written, and held countless meetings with successive governments in
that period. A small but fearless band of us connected in the early days of the

people adopted in and from Ireland in my life. We eventually began a Yahoo!
group, which even today continues to receive members and posts. Some of us who

The topics have certainly been well-covered, even internationally.

The God Squad. In 1997, former RTÉ journalist Mike Milotte researched and
published his results on the trafficking of children from Ireland to the US in
his seminal Banished Babies (updated in 2012). Mary Raftery and Eoin O’Sullivan
had written Suffer the Little Children on the heels of Raftery’s award-winning
three-part series States of Fear on RTÉ in 1999. Stephen Humphries produced an
excellent documentary on the Magdalene Laundries, Sex in a Cold Climate, in
1997 and it eventually became the basis for Peter Mullan’s award-winning
feature film The Magdalene Sisters in 2002. BBC also released the documentary
Sinners in 2002. The latest, and perhaps most widely-seen chronicle of Irish
adoption, is the award-winning film Philomena. The film was inspired by Martin
Sixsmith’s 2009 book, The Lost Son of Philomena Lee. And our heroine, the
real-life Philomena Lee, has been playing a blinder as one of the most
eloquent, gracious and courageous spokeswomen for Irish mothers of loss. Thanks
to her good work, Adoption Rights Alliance has now partnered with The Philomena
Project, and it set the cogs in motion toward the most recent explosion and
revelation in Tuam.

A MAN born in one of the most notorious mother-and-baby homes has
called for a major audit of its cemetery to establish whether it too hides a
mass grave.
John Barrett said: "I have been saying for years that we need
answers about what exactly happened at places like Bessborough.
"There were always rumours about burials and the (Bessborough)
graveyard. There could well be thousands of babies buried there. This was the
largest mothers-and-baby home in Ireland so who knows?
"I think we now need to find out whether these were just rumours,
or whether just like Tuam in Galway, there was some- thing tragic going
on."

Thousands of children in Irish care homes at centre of 'baby graves
scandal' were used in secret vaccine trials in the 1930s
By HARRIET ARKELL and NEIL MICHAEL
Scientists secretly vaccinated more than 2,000 children in
religious-run homes in suspected illegal drug trials, it emerged today.
Old medical records show that 2,051 children and babies in Irish
care homes were given a one-shot diphtheria vaccine for international drugs
giant Burroughs Wellcome between 1930 and 1936.
There is no evidence that consent was ever sought, nor any records
of how many may have died or suffered debilitating side-effects as a result.
The scandal was revealed as Irish premier, Enda Kenny, ordered
ministers to see whether there are more mass baby graves after the discovery
that 800 infants may be buried in a septic tank outside a former mother and
baby home in Tuam, Co. Galway.
The Taioseach intervened from the United States yesterday to say
that he had ordered his officials to 'see what the scale is, what's involved
here, and whether this is isolated or if there are others around the country
that need to be looked at.'
Michael Dwyer, of Cork University’s School of History, found the
child vaccination data by trawling through tens of thousands of medical journal
articles and archive files.
He discovered that the trials were carried out before the vaccine
was made available for commercial use in the UK.
Homes where children were secretly tested included Bessborough, in
Co. Cork and Sean Ross Abbey in Roscrea, Co. Tipperary, both of which are at
the centre of the mass baby graves scandal.

Catherine Corless – the local historian who first discovered the
death records of the children – show nine women also died at the home during
the same period and their burial spots are currently unkown. At this point
Corless can confirm that the women died at the home between the years of 1937
to 1961 but she has not been able to find graves for the women. Corless
stresses that she cannot confirm the nine are buried with the children.
“When I was getting the names of the children who died in the home
...they also gave me a list of nine adult women who died, and it stated on the

“Now, I can’t confirm that they were buried with the children. They

The bishop of Tuam has released a statement in which he seeks to distance his diocese from the appalling treatment of the women who were locked up in the notorious Mother and baby Home.
The bishop of Tuam has released a statement in which he seeks to distance his diocese from the appalling treatment of the women who were locked up in the notorious Mother and baby Home.
In doing so, he follows in the footsteps of Cardinal Cahal Daly, who
also sought to distance himself from any responsiblity for the monstrous
behaviour of Father Brendan Smyth, the paedophile whose activities brought down
a government and first exposed to the world what was really going on behind the
veil of sanctity in Ireland.
Daly, you might recall, pointed out that he had no authority over
Brendan Smyth, because the priest was a member of the Norbertine order and was
therefore under the control of his religious superior within that order. This
was why, according to Daly, he could not intervene in the priest’s rape of
children. He was powerless to do so.
Oddly enough, this lack of power didn’t prevent Daly’s successor
from intervening in the activities of another priest who was also a member of a
religious order. Cardinal Seán Brady who, as a young priest, had sworn abused
children to secrecy on pain of damnation, had no hesitation in stepping in when
Father Iggy O’Donovan, an Augustinian priest in Drogheda committed a
transgression in 2006.
His crime? Iggy
O’Donovan celebrated an ecumenical service with a Protestant clergyman, in a
spirit of reconciliation and solidarity.
...
...
When Dr Deeny, the Chief Medical Officer, unilaterally closed
Bessborough Home because of the number of children it was killing, the Papal
Nuncio complained him to DeValera on the order of Bishop Lucey of Cork, even
though the home was run by nuns.
The bishops knew everything and the bishops controlled
everything. Let us not forget that this bishop of Tuam was the very same one to
whom the entire county library catalogue was submitted for vetting. Gilmartin
selected the books to be burned, and yet, somehow, Michael Neary would have us
believe he was a benign, bumbling old Santa Claus figure who had nothing to do
with the systemic oppression of women in post-independence Ireland.

Every country is an Organised Hypocrisy to some degree. Countries
have aspirations and stated principles, which more often than not, contrast
with a grim reality - - at least in democracies today, there is an opportunity
for some rebalancing.
Thomas Jefferson, America's third president and a cruel slave
master, who had penned the line in the 1776 Declaration of Independence:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created
equal..." fathered at least six children with his slave Sally Hemings but
he regarded them as sub-human, while Karl Marx a German philosopher, who had
seen the grim existence for workers in Germany and Britain in the first century
of the industrial revolution, would not have expected to become the god of
brutal dictatorships that crushed the human spirit in the twentieth century.
The revelation that 796 babies died in a facility run by a religious
order in Tuam, County Galway over 36 years, is shocking even after the litany
of stories of abuse in recent decades.
Two sectarian states had developed in Ireland from the 1920's and in
the South, behind the veneer of "republican principles," conservative
elites held power and brooked little opposition.

IN THE SPACE of two weeks, the story about a mass grave at a former
mother and baby home in Galway has grown from something that was just talked
about locally in Tuam to a worldwide news story.
The oh-so-gradual unfolding of the story, beginning in the 1970s
with the discovery of multiple skeletons, seemed to take people by surprise.
After breaking in the media almost a fortnight ago, it took more than a week
before any politician made a comment about it, and it was days before national
mainstream outlets covered it.
Here, we look at how the story has unfolded, and all of the many,
many questions that still remain.
What is the home at the centre of the controversy?
From 1925 until 1961, an order of nuns calls the Bon Secours Sisters
ran an institution at this building in Tuam in Co Galway.
The institution was called St Mary’s but was known locally as The
Home. Unmarried women in the area who became pregnant were sent there to give
birth away from their families, as at the time, having a so-called
‘illegitimate’ child was regarded as shameful.
The babies were then left in the orphanage to be raised by the nuns.
Some of them were put up for adoption while some remained in the care of the
nuns.
Some of the poorer women who gave birth were forced to work for the
nuns in the institution after they had their child as a way to pay for the
service which had been provided to them.

THE Tuam babies story this week says much about the past, but about
the present also.
The graveyard in the grounds of the former so-called mother-and-baby
home was first discovered by two 12-year-old boys, in 1975. One of them opened
the concrete cover and was met with the horror below. Pretty quickly, the cover
was drawn across again. In the 1970s, the past had not yet been acknowledged.
Indeed, the past wasn’t even past.
The next major juncture in the story was last October, by which time
local historian, Catherine Corless, had painstakingly compiled and matched
records from the home. Corless concluded that the concrete tank must contain
most, if not all, of the nearly 800 infants who had died in the home during its
existence, between 1925 and 1961.
The story was first published in the Connaught Tribune on October 10
last, which reported that the number of babies allegedly involved was 788.
Continuing research has brought this number up to 796.
Declan Tierney’s report in the Tribune began: “Research has shown
that there are 788 children, from newborns to eight-year-olds, buried in a graveyard
that was attached to an old orphanage in Tuam.
“And a group of interested individuals have now established the
names of each of the children, what age they were when they died, and the
causes of their deaths. It is now their intention to erect a memorial in their
honour and this will contain the names of each of the 788 children.”

Much confusion still surrounds the alleged discovery of human
remains near a mother-and-baby home run by the Sisters of Bon Secours in Tuam.
Since its appearance in the Irish Daily Mail, the story has buzzed
furiously about social media while broadcasters and other newspapers tried to
sort rumour from hard fact.
By Wednesday, Charlie Flanagan, Minister for Children and Youth
Affairs, was sufficiently concerned to describe the revelations as “a shocking
reminder of a darker past in Ireland when our children were not cherished as
they should have been”.
Further details are gradually oozing their way across newsprint and
the airwaves. Whatever we subsequently learn about this squalid story, it can’t
be denied that the Catholic Church has had another bad week. (That organisation
doesn’t have too many good ones these days.)

It is hard not to be horrified, sickened and shocked at the
heartbreaking revelations that 796 babies died and may have been buried in a
mass grave in the grounds of a home run by the Sisters of the Bon Secours in
Tuam, Co Galway, between 1925 and 1961.
As a mother, I am mourning to my core the loss of these precious
lives. It is nearly beyond my capacity to understand how helpless, tiny human
beings could have been apparently discarded and treated in this way.
The full facts surrounding the deaths will probably never be
established. But the question on all our minds is what happened these babies?
Did they die when the mother was in childbirth? Did they die from malnutrition
and neglect? Did they die from an illness that is now easily treatable? Did
they die alone?
These infants died in a mother and baby home at a disgraceful period
in Ireland when unmarried mothers were banished and hidden away and cruelly
forced to give up their infants for adoption on birth.
As founding chief executive of the government-funded Crisis
Pregnancy Agency, I understand the trauma of a crisis pregnancy and our
shameful history in failing to support Irish girls and women who were pregnant
and unmarried.

Even the story of Philomena Lee, as recounted in the film starring
Judi Dench and Steve Coogan, did not stir the national conscience to action
Sat, Jun 7, 2014
Eighteen years ago, on May 11th, 1996, Padraig O’Morain wrote in
this newspaper about a woman he called Eileen, whose baby was taken from her in
a mother-and-baby home and sent to the US for adoption.
It followed an announcement the previous month by Dick Spring, who
was at the time the tánaiste and minister for foreign affairs, that files on
the adoption of Irish babies in the US had been found. It was said this offered
hope that birth mothers and children taken from them for adoption could meet
again.
We’ve had four statutory reports since then on the abuses of
children, and the McAleese report on the Magdalene laundries, but no
investigation into mother-and-baby homes.
Even the deeply moving story of Philomena Lee, as recounted in the
film ‘Philomena’ last year, did not stir the national conscience to action.

town. Her research has revealed that 796 children, most of them infants, died
between 1925 and 1961, the 36 years that the home, run by Bon Secours, existed.
Between 2011 and 2013 Corless paid €4 each time to get the
children’s publicly available death certificates. She says the total cost was
€3,184. “If I didn’t do it, nobody else would have done it. I had them all by

AS horrific as it is, the dumping ground for hundreds of dead babies
at the Bon Secours home in Tuam should not be the focal point of our concern,
but rather how they ended up there, and why no one cared for so long.
The grim revelations that have been forcing themselves slowly to the
surface of public consciousness for decades once again show our politicians
only act with speed when it is in their interest to do so.
Even calling the Tuam establishment a “home” feels wrong, as
Independent TD Catherine Murphy demanded the grave be labelled a crime scene.
“We are hearing references to ‘burials’, when, in fact we are
talking about bodies being disposed of in a septic tank. Clearly, these were
not respectful burials — they were disposals, as though these children were
subhuman. It is stomach-churning. If this septic tank was discovered anywhere
else in the country other than beside a religious institution, it would already
have been declared a crime scene. It begs the question of why, in fact, it has
not been declared as such, which it should and must be,” Ms Murphy told the
Dáil.
And in response we got the usual platitudes of pity and pious shock
from the Government front bench, but precious little else.
In his first test as Children’s Minister Charlie Flanagan flailed
around badly, getting off to a poor start with group think, jargon-speak about
looking at creating an “inter-departmental process” to deal with the situation
which should see a response within a month, so the Government can decide what
to do next. Justice Minister Frances Fitzgerald has also been extraordinarily
slow in intervening.

Martin Sixsmith’s book, Philomena, published by Penguin Books, was
adapted for the screen last year.
The discovery of a grave containing the remains of as many as 800
babies at a former home for unmarried mothers in Ireland is yet another problem
for the Irish Catholic Church. The mother and baby home at Tuam in County
Galway was run by the nuns of the Sisters of Bon Secours and operated between
1925 and 1961. It took in thousands of women who had committed the “mortal sin”
of unwed pregnancy, delivered their babies and was charged with caring for
them. But unsanitary conditions, poor food and a lack of medical care led to
shockingly high rates of infant mortality. Babies’ bodies were deposited in a
former sewage tank.
Sadly, the mass grave at Tuam is probably not unique. I visited the
site — the home was demolished in the 1970s — and spoke with locals who
remember babies’ skulls emerging from the soil around their houses. When boys
broke open the cover of the sewage pit, they found it “full to the brim” of
skeletons. Tuam was only one of a dozen mother and baby homes in Ireland in the
years after the Second World War, all of which treated their inmates in a
similar fashion.
During 10 years of research into the Catholic Church’s treatment of
“fallen women” — I wrote about one of them in my book, Philomena, later turned
into a feature film starring Dame Judi Dench — I discovered that the girls were
refused medical attention, including painkillers, during even the most difficult
births; the nuns told them the pain was the penance they must pay for their
sin. In the home where Philomena gave birth, an unkempt plot bears the names of
babies and mothers, some as young as 15. There are undoubtedly many more there
who have no memorial. ...
That sense of guilt and shame remained with the girls for life. One
woman whose child was born in Tuam told me she felt it was wrong of her to talk
to me even now. At first it was hard to persuade Philomena to tell me her
story, too. But when my book was published, she received letters from other
“fallen women” saying how grateful they were that someone had had the courage
to break the Omertà.
The warped code of honour behind the decades of silence had been
inculcated by an all-powerful Catholic Church. For much of the late 20th
century, the Irish civil authorities were in thrall to the hierarchy;
Archbishop John Charles McQuaid threatened pulpit denunciations if the
government contradicted his policies. So the state connived in the mother and
baby homes, paying the nuns at Tuam and all the other homes a per capita rate
for every inmate.

John, who spent five years there, believes the terrible conditions
they were forced to live in were responsible for the high mortality rate.

Irish Archdiocese Official Reacts to 800 Children’s Skeletons in a

June 6, 2014 By Terry Firma
I just learned that in Ireland, Father Fintan Monaghan, a Catholic
Church official in whose archdiocese the skeletal remains of almost 800
children were found in a septic tank, weighed in with an opinion on the matter.
The bones, if you’ll recall, are those of babies who were born to
unwed mothers, and who died under the awful neglect of Bon Secours nuns between
1925 and 1961. The child mortality rate in Irish Catholic institutions for
“fallen women” was reportedly as high as fifty percent.
Regarding the remains of the 800 children found in that sewage tank,
Monaghan told a TV crew:
“I suppose we can’t
really judge the past from our point of view, from our lens. All we can do is
mark it appropriately and make sure there is a suitable place here where people
can come and remember the babies that died.”
Got that? We can’t judge the past. Pray
tell, father — just how recently should acts of such crassness and cruelty have
taken place so that we are allowed, in your divinely-inspired opinion, to judge

The recent revelations about the mistreatment of young children and babies in homes run by religious orders continues to shock and dismay me.
When I first heard the news that more than 800 babies were buried in what was formally a septic tank I was astonished – because initially I thought it happened in some famine-stricken country today.
Then I thought I was hearing about Nazi Germany. But when I realised it happened in Ireland during my own lifetime to children in the care of religious sisters, I was overcome with a deep sorrow bordering on depression.
There appears to be no reason to doubt the veracity of the horror stories that have come out in the past few days. Yet we do need to be certain of all the facts – and I hope that will be the first thing the Government does.

Born 20 years apart at Tuam home...both scarred and

Two men who survived the mother and baby home reveal the physical and mental scars they were left with
Two men who survived the Tuam mother and baby home have opened up about the physical and mental scars their childhood experiences left them with.
Galway men Joe Donelan and Colm Sullivan were born 20 years apart in the now infamous Bon Secours home and both have been deeply affected by claims that up to 800 babies were secretly buried on the site.
Joe, who lives in Abbeyknockmoy, was born in the home in December 1938 and considers himself one of the lucky ones as he lived and was adopted at the age of four.
His adoptive parents Mary and John Keane didn’t reveal the truth about his past until he was a teenager – but Joe believes the way he behaved when he first went to live with his new family suggests he was beaten in the home.
Our
horror at the mass baby grave in Ireland shows an instinctive religiosity
IRELANDThe Guardian (UK)

theguardian.com, Wednesday 11 June 2014
Why is it that we are more shocked by what happens to dead babies than to live ones? The story that almost 800 dead babies were buried in a disused sewage tank outside Tuam in rural Ireland turns out to be problematic. It is certain that 796 babies did die under the care of nuns in a home for unmarried mothers there between 1925 and 1961 and that is in itself a shocking statistic. But what gave the story wings was the claim that their bodies had been dumped in a septic tank, widely attributed to Catherine Corless, the local historian who uncovered the scandal.
In an interview she has denied that she ever used the term "dumped". More to the point, it was impossible that 800 children were placed there, since "only" 204 died in the years before the home was connected to the mains water supply, in 1937. In her first account of the discovery, Corless described the structure as a "crypt". Only later did she identify it, from a map, as a septic tank. If the bodies were placed in it long after it had been drained and disused, this would seem much less shocking. That less shocking story is at least plausible: the alternative would be that the nuns buried some babies decently in the unofficial graveyard but just dumped others in the cesspit. On what basis could they possibly have chosen?
This is not to deny that almost 800 children died and were buried in an unofficial graveyard behind the home. In the manner of these things in rural Ireland, it was both known and not known – according to the Irish Times "this small grassy space has been attended for decades by local people, who have planted roses and other flowers there, and put up a grotto in one corner".
Twenty babies dropped in a cesspit as corpses is a horrifying figure. Even one would be dreadful. And of course the whole story fits wonderfully into the larger stories of Irish nuns as heartless and cruel, which many undoubtedly were. But what's interesting to a student of religion is why the desecration of dead bodies should be so very much more shocking than the deaths of living babies.
‘I
found remains while digging grave’
IRELANDIrish Examiner
By Conall Ó Fátharta
Irish Examiner Reporter
A maintenance worker employed in Bessborough in the late 1980s and early 1990s has spoken of how he came across child remains while burying the bodies of two nuns.
Eugene Kelly, from Cork, worked as maintenance man at the former mother-and-baby home and adoption society in Blackrock between 1984 and 1992 and recalls coming across “little skulls and little bones” as he buried two nuns in the small graveyard on the site.
“I was only asked then when Timmy [who operated the farm] was getting too old, when he was semi-retired, would I bury a few of the nuns? I said ‘No problem’ — it was an adventure to me, I was only 19 or 20 at the time. It frightened the bejaysus out of me the first time.
“I remember when I was doing the dig, I came across little skulls and little bones. It was frightening. It was frightening, as it was half past five on a November or something like that, or December, and it was getting dark.”
MCDONALD:

IRELANDLaois Nationalist
Sinn Féin deputy leader Mary Lou is backing calls for the Mother and Baby Home inquiry to include the Magdalene Laundries.
A full commission of inquiry is being set up, and will have the power to compel documents and witnesses.
It will include at least one institution outside Catholic control.
Speaking today Deputy McDonald said concerns expressed about a report on the issue carried out by Martin McAleese could be addressed in the new investigation.
"To understand the Mother and Baby homes you have to include the Magdalene Laundries," Deputy McDonald said.
"It makes no sense to have a thorough, statutory investigation into those institutions and to excluse the laundries.
Archbishop
Carlson & Strategic Amnesia
UNITED STATESThe American Conservative
[with video]
By ROD DREHER • June 11, 2014
Catholic journalist Phil Lawler is disgusted by Archbishop Robert Carlson’s cowardly, butt-covering testimony in a child abuse deposition. Carlson said, under oath, that in the 1980s, when he was serving as an auxiliary bishop in Minnesota, he wasn’t sure that adults having sex with kids was a crime. Excerpt from Lawler’s column:
Is the reputation of the Catholic Church improved by the fact that, yet again, an archbishop has been quoted as saying things that most people find impossible to believe? How could things have been worse, if you had simply told the unvarnished truth to the best of your ability, and admitted what everyone already knows?
For nearly 15 years now, we beleaguered lay Catholics have been subjected to the painful spectacle of watching our Church leaders make implausible statements, feign ignorance, deny responsibility, and fight to prevent disclosure of damaging testimony. That strategy has always failed.
Enough! The paltry defenses, the dog-ate-the-homework excuses are an embarrassment to the Church. Stop it! If you don’t know the truth, if you aren’t prepared to testify to the truth, then you aren’t fit to be a Catholic bishop. If you can’t be a credible witness, resign!
Phil’s not going to like this clip from the same deposition. In it, the lawyer reads from the 1986 deposition of a then-Bishop Watters, who testified that Bishop Carlson had advised him in advance of the deposition on a clerical child sex abuse case that “the best thing you can say is ‘I don’t remember.’” Carlson, now an archbishop, said he doesn’t remember if he ever said that, but he doubts he did:

Here’s
a letter giving state approval of Tuam mother and baby home
IRELANDJournal
THIS IS THE LETTER from the Minister for Health’s office in 1957 that approved the Bon Secours mother and baby home in Tuam, County Galway.
The letter (which can be viewed here) states that the minister of the day, Fine Gael’s Tom O’Higgins, approved a number of maternity homes under the provision of section 25 of the Health Act 1953.
Many of these homes were already registered prior to the 1953 provision in the Act, as stated in the letter.
800
dead Irish babies just the beginning
UNITED STATESThe Tribune-Review
Published: Saturday, June 14, 2014
Martin Sixsmith
The discovery of a grave containing the remains of as many as 800 babies at a former home for unmarried mothers in Ireland is yet another problem for the Irish Catholic Church.
The mother and baby home at Tuam in County Galway was run by the nuns of the Sisters of Bon Secours and operated between 1925 and 1961. It took in thousands of women who had committed the “mortal sin” of unwed pregnancy, delivered their babies and was charged with caring for them.
But unsanitary conditions, poor food and a lack of medical care led to shockingly high rates of infant mortality. Babies' bodies were deposited in a former sewage tank.
Sadly, the mass grave at Tuam is probably not unique. I visited the site — the home was demolished in the 1970s — and spoke with locals who remember babies' skulls emerging from the soil around their houses. When boys broke open the cover of the sewage pit, they found it “full to the brim” of skeletons.
Tuam was only one of a dozen mother and baby homes in Ireland in the years after World War II, all of which treated their inmates in a similar fashion.
During 10 years of research into the Catholic Church's treatment of “fallen women” — I wrote about one of them in my book, “Philomena,” later turned into a feature film starring Dame Judi Dench — I discovered that the girls were refused medical attention, including painkillers, during even the most difficult births; the nuns told them the pain was the penance they must pay for their sin.
2,000
Americans wait to discover truth of their Irish adoptions
UNITED STATESIrish Central
Niall O'Dowd @niallodowd June 14,2014
There are up to 2,000 Americans who were secretly adopted from Mother and Baby homes in Ireland according to the leading adoption rights campaigner Mari Steed.
Many of whom have never known who their now elderly or deceased Irish birth parents are says Steed.
Thousands of those secret and illegally adopted children ended up in America after essentially being sold to wealthy families.
Mari Steed of the Adoption Rights Alliance was one of them, born at the notorious Bessborough Home in Cork in 1960 and sent to America as a toddler where she now lives near Philadelphia.
She says the latest news of the Irish government inquiry must be the moment that Ireland finally is forced to open its adoption and medical records.
“The government can no longer afford to look away,” Steed says, believing that Tuam has opened a floodgate that cannot be shut.
From
empire’s rule to the vice-like grip of Rome: Irish did Church’s bidding over
Tuam
IRELANDIrish Examiner
By Claire O'Sullivan
Irish Examiner Reporter
THE Ryan and Cloyne reports into child abuse in the Catholic Church could be seen in simple black and white terms: It was easy to loathe the abusers and the parish priests and bishops who colluded to protect them, to shudder at how bereft and powerless the child victims were, and at the torment of parents when they learned what had gone on around them.
But, following Martin McAleese’s Magdalene report last year, the lines began to blur. We saw that 25% of women sent to the laundries had been referred by an arm of the State, 8.8% by priests, and a notable 10.5% by families. We saw how Church, State, and families were complicit in subjugating, degrading, and dehumanising young girls who had fallen foul of Catholic and therefore societal, norms.
The uproar about conditions in mother-and- baby homes over the past number of weeks has underscored this theme — with the finger increasingly pointed at the families and communities that wanted these pregnant women and their babies out of view; who shoved crying girls through the front door of these homes in the dead of night, expected them to feed, care for, and love a child for a year and then to hand their child to a stranger without question.
Nowhere is this blinkered, ignorant, craven supplication and groupthink better illustrated than in the Twitter feed of @limerick1914, where Limerick librarian and historian Liam Hogan posts excerpts from regional newspapers, local authority, and public health archives.
A Tuam Herald report revealed how, in 1907, the Carlow Board of Guardians wholeheartedly approved the Viceregal Commission’s recommendation that all unmarried mothers who had two or more children should be detained at the workhouse. These women were seen as beyond redemption.

10 REASONS TO ABOLISH THE PAPACY
10 Reasons why there should never be another
Pope
Pope
After Joseph Ratzinger publicly announced his plans to retire, quite a few people who are aware of this website or the @Fire_the_PopeTwitter account remarked how I got my wish or, jokingly, how my website may have led to the first resignation of a pope in 600 years.
Yes, I’ve had Ratzinger’s picture prominently displayed on this site and, given his long record both as the pope and as the one person responsible for handling all sex-crime cases in the Church, I strongly believed him to be incompetent at best.
However, FireThePope doesn’t just mean fire Joseph Ratzinger. FireThePope isn’t a cause to bring down one man. FireThePope is an effort to expose the entire Roman Catholic Church, as is, as fraudulent and there is no better way to do that than to start at the top.
The Roman Catholic Church sets itself apart from all other religions, including Christian denominations, by claiming its head, the pope, is the successor of Peter and that Jesus anointed Peter to be the head of his church. The Church points to Matthew 16:13-20 to support this claim. Catholics conclude the Roman Catholic Church is the “one true church” of Jesus Christ and all other Protestant or non-Roman orthodox churches are inferior to it.
Roman Catholics call their church “the bride of Christ” and “Holy Mother Church”. These nicknames market the idea that Roman Catholicism dates back to the days of Jesus Christ and it – or “She”, as they say – is the very foundation of Christianity and all other religions are mere offshoots or sequels to Roman Catholicism.
Ultimately, Roman Catholicism rests solely on the supremacy of Peter and the apostles. Without the supremacy of Peter, there would be no pope. Without the supremacy of the apostles, there would be no priesthood as the Roman Church defines it. Without the superhuman powers of Catholic priests, bye-bye sacraments, indulgences, and the entire institution.
Today, let’s focus on the papacy. Following are ten reasons why there should never be another pope and, if there is, he should be completely ignored by the Catholic laity, the media, politicians, and the public at large.
Because the Vatican bases its very existence on a scene from the New Testament, it must also accept other verses of the NT in order to be consistent. Either the NT should be accepted as true, non-fictional accounts or not. Either those accounts must be taken literally or not. But, one cannot say this is a source of truth, inspired by the Holy Spirit and then pick and choose which passages the Church wants to follow or not.
1. The church of Jesus Christ in the bible was not a physical empire. Matthew 24:1-2 - ”Jesus left the temple precincts then, and his disciples came up and pointed out to him the buildings of the temple area. His comment was: ‘Do you see all these buildings? I assure you, not one stone will be left on another – it will all be torn down.’” 1 Corinthians 3:16 – “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the spirit of God dwells in you?” Also, Peter 2:5-9 – “Be yourselves as living stones built into a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” Jesus preached in homes and on hillsides, not in buildings. He only went in to temples to draw people out of them or to scold the church leaders. The word catholic, found in the bible with a lower-case c, means universal. In the first century, the wordchurch (also lower-case c) meant a society of men, women, and children who are spiritually – not necessarily physically – united to serve God. According to the NT, Jesus established the catholic church – a universal society of believers who would offer spiritualsacrifices. I explain below who really instituted the Roman Catholic Church, which requires material (pagan) sacrifices.
2. The church of Jesus Christ was not built upon one man. The idea that the church of Jesus was built upon one man is preposterous. Yet, that is what the Roman Church claims. Its only foundation is the notion that Peter was chosen by Jesus to be the first pope and that all popes are Peter’s successors, chosen by the Holy Spirit and infallible in all of their declarations. Roman Catholicism teaches that the pope, acting on behalf of the Church (notice the capital C indicating the Corporation) has the power and a duty to act as a mediator between the Creator and his creatures. It has been a long-held tradition that the Vatican, the Magisterium, and the clergy would interpret the bible for the laity. However, 1 Corinthians 3:11 reads, “For other foundation no one can lay, but that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ”. According to scripture, Jesus, not Peter, is the foundation of the Christian church. Jesus is also the sole mediator, so says 1 Timothy 2:5: ”And the truth is this: ‘God is one. One also is the mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, and who gave himself ransom for all.” According to the New Testament where Catholics turn to justify the existence of their Church, there is only one mediator between God and the people and that is Jesus Christ, not Peter and not Joseph Ratzinger.
3. The church of Jesus Christ in the bible did not have a pope.The word pope is not in the bible, where the Roman Church points to as justification for itself. The early church described in the New Testament speaks of bishops who were overseers or local supervisors of the effort to spread Christianity. They were not rulers over the people. No one bishop had authority over any other. No one bishop was the head of the effort. There was a bishop in many major cities, including one in Rome. It so happened that certain Roman emperors (namely Constantine and Charlemagne) elevated the position and authority of the bishop of Rome, specifically, because they had the power to do so and because it was convenient as Rome was the seat of power. Emperors appointed bishops and abbots and usually appointed members of aristocratic families. The idea of a pope – one bishop over all others – was a corrupt power grab by murderous dictators and had nothing to do with Jesus Christ or anything in the bible.
4. The Peter of the throne was not the apostle but an impostor. Remember, the apostle Peter originally went by the name of Simon. Then, he was referred to as Simon Peter. Jesus named him Peter at the rock because the name Peter – or Petros (Greek) means rock. This Peter was from Cyprus, according to the bible. But, there is another Simon in the bible, this one from Samaria and he was a troublemaker. Locals called him Simon the

Magician. He claimed to be able to do magic tricks and held The Circus of Nero in Vaticanus Hill. Simon Magnus claimed he was God (hence, the magic) and he became a nemesis, a rival, and a thorn in the side of the apostle Peter. There was such trouble between the two that Emperor Nero set up a contest to settle their differences. Simon Magnus was killed after being thrown from his chariot and so Nero, who had favored him, had Peter arrested and thrown in jail. If there was a pope on a throne in the days of the early church, it was not Peter the Apostle but Simon the Magician. Simon sat on a throne; Peter never did. Simon claimed to be God; Peter never did. Simon claimed to have supernatural powers; Peter never did. Simon Magnus even started going by the name Peter in order to confuse people. They both had the same name, they both died in the same year – 67 A.D., and they both had spent time in Rome. The proof that the Simon of Samaria, not Cyprus, sat on the throne in Rome is the documentation that Magnus stayed in Rome for many years at a time while the apostle came and went quite often.
5. The apostle Peter never considered himself God or Jesus Christ. Again, the idea of the papacy rests on the supremacy of Peter. The Roman Church claims the pope is “Christ’s (sole) representative on earth”. The Peter whom the popes are supposed to have succeeded was married with at least one child – a daughter. He never sat on a throne and he never claimed to have magic powers or to be infallible. He never claimed to be better or more important than the other apostles or early leaders of the Christian church. He never dressed in fancy clothes, he never wore a ring to be kissed, and he never insisted on the red carpet treatment. Acts 10:25-27: “As Peter entered, Cornelius went to meet him, dropped to his knees before him and bowed low. Peter said, ‘Get up! I am only a man myself.’” When Nero sentenced Peter to death by crucifixion, Peter insisted on hanging on the cross upside down because he was unworthy to die as Jesus died. Peter the apostle, claimed by the Church as the first pope was never a pope and his philosophy and practices, according to the New Testament, were a far contrast to those of the papacy no matter who is holding the title.
6. The Roman Catholic Church was not established until the 4th Century. Roman Catholics claim Peter of the bible was the first pope and that there is an unbroken line of popes stretching from biblical times to present-day. This claim is nothing but a re-writing of history. The Church needs that lineage in order to justify itself and the papacy yet it does not have the facts on its side so they have to create a new reality. What the Church
Not Jesus’ interpretation of “church”.
has done is go back and list anyone who was a bishop of Rome as a pope. The actual papacy didn’t begin until the Roman Catholic Church began and that wasn’t until the 4th Century with Pope Constantine I – the emperor – who ruled from the “chair of St. Peter” from 306-337. Constantine came to the rescue of Christians who were being persecuted by Emperor Diocletian. It’s not that he was overcome by compassion but realized he could take political advantage from the growing number of Christians. This ties the pagan Roman Empire to the Catholic Church whose members also worship objects and offer material sacrifices.
7. The papacy was on life support as recently as 1870. In the mid-19th Century, there was an effort to unify Italy which was split in two by the Papal States governed by the pope, then Pope Pius IX (the one who dreamed up Immaculate Conception). Victor Emmanuel II, the new King of Italy, had seized all of the Church-controlled territory except a small segment of Rome. Napoleon, who had previously been an ally of Emmanuel, protected the pope and by having some of his troops stand guard at the Vatican. When the Franco-Prussia War intensified, Napoleon pulled his troops out of Rome, leaving the pope defenseless. The Italian troops moved in and the pope lost all of his temporal (civil) power minus rule over the tiny territory of the Vatican. Emmanuel allowed the pope to keep the Vatican and freed him from Italian rule but the pope was defiant. Pius IX refused to recognize Emmanuel’s new kingdom and he voluntarily kept himself a prisoner of the Vatican. He cried anti-Catholic bias until support and donations poured in for him, including from Catholics in America. The empire of the Roman Church was all but lost in 1870. It took more deception to keep it alive.
8. The papacy was corruptly propped back up by a fascist dictator. In the 1920′s, the Italian government wished to settle its differences with the Church. At the time, the Prime Minister of Italy was Benito Mussolini.
He conspired with the Vatican to shut out populist factions in the country in order to amass more power and control for himself. The Vatican silenced priests who favored a more democratic government. In return, Mussolini gifted the Church by officially recognizing the Vatican as an independent and sovereign city-state. Within the borders of Italy, popes would receive diplomatic immunity and the Church would receive financial reparations for its loss of the Papal States. Also, Roman Catholicism would be the one state religion in Italy. These agreements were called the Lateran Pacts and they are what revived the much weakened papacy. Mussolini would go on to become one of history’s most brutal dictators. Today, Vatican City, the whole 0.2 square miles of it, is recognized by the United Nations as a sovereign city-state of which the pope is head.
9. The pope is an absolute monarch at a time when most educated and reasonable human beings believe in freedom, democracy, and accountability. In 2011, the world witnessed what is now referred to as The Arab Spring. Ordinary people protested – many to their deaths – for freedom, respect, and democratic elections. Many citizens of some nations in the Middle East had been oppressed for generations and they finally decided it was time to take a stand against tyranny. It has been said there is a natural hunger to live freely, no matter what part of the world one lives. The pope is an absolute monarch, only one of a few that still exist and certainly the most powerful. As such, and because he enjoys diplomatic immunity both in Italy and out, he is accountable to no one. The pope is elected but not by the people he represents as in a democracy. He is elected by the same men whom he appointed to the College of Cardinals. Once a pope takes office, he is unaccountable to anyone inside the Church or out. This type of power is contrary to what the New Testament described when Jesus turned tables on the clergy. The pope, like Simon Magnus, claims to be God. Only someone with a God-complex would claim to be above the law and every other human being.
10. The papacy is not inspired by the Holy Spirit. If anything, it would be inspired by the spirit of Lucifer. As construction workers ready the Vatican chimney for the upcoming puffs of white smoke or black,
rational human beings are expected to believe that the Holy Spirit is guiding the process of the papal conclave. When cardinals vote a certain way, we are told, it was because the Holy Spirit told them to. It’s time for a reality check. Many of the men who will be voting – or running – for the next pope have blood on their hands – blood ofchildren. Yet, we are supposed to believe they have an inside track to the Holy Spirit. From the beginning of the Roman Catholic Church, throughout its history, and including today, Roman Catholicism has been a corrupt empire disguised as a Christian religion. I’ve heard many people credit it merely because “it has been around for 2,000 years”. It hasn’t been around that long and does it matter that it has only survived as long has it has because it has succeeded in fooling gullible people? Does it matter that it has grown as large as it has because many of its converts joined only under the threat of death? Does it matter than the majority of Catholics were entered into the Church before the age of reason? Catholics are quick to remind us of “all the good the Church does”. There isn’t a tyrant in history that couldn’t claim the same. Evil almost always presents itself in disguise – as something good. When deception is the foundation of an institution, no amount of superficial acts that come out of it can make it good. Deeds and institutions can only be good if they are based in truth. Like it or not, the spirit that is guiding the Roman Catholic Church isn’t holy, it is evil. And the only way to kill a serpent is by chopping off its head.

Jesus Christ
The Failure of the Sacraments
There’s an elephant quietly sitting in the nave that everyone on all sides of the clergy sex abuse crisis have been diligently ignoring, even the victims themselves. No clergy or even would-be reformers have really remarked on it yet, although it should be more obvious with each and every sad story. More importantly, it is a troubling issue that touches on the very heart and soul of Catholicism.
The monstrous truth is simply this: what the clergy sex abuse crisis clearly demonstrates is that the sacramental system has failed.
This is not just a case of hierarchical reneging of responsibility.There’s more to this than some bad apples. This is nothing that a few reforms can fix, some screening of seminarians or more pastoral responses by bishops. It is nothing less than a fundamental challenge to the entire Catholic Church, and it shows that the spiritual principles the whole structure is supposedly based on simply do not work.
Think about it. The offenders here are Roman Catholic priests, highly trained men. But unlike other professionals, these men are supposedly set apart and dedicated to lives of the spirit. They claim to have the power to forgive sins and make God appear.
They not only administer the sacraments to others, but also receive them themselves daily. That means, among other things, frequent confession to other priests. Moreover, many of these men belong to religious orders or are otherwise under close spiritual direction. They are supposed to confide everything to their confessors and superiors and to obey them unquestioningly.
So what went wrong? When an abusive priest goes to confession, does he start, “Bless me, father, for I have sinned: I buggered an altar boy three times this week”? And does the confessor tell him to say 3 Our Fathers and 4 Hail Marys and not to do it again?
According to their own theory, confessors have the power to forgive sins, but also to refuse to do so if sorrow is insufficient. Moreover, they are to appoint penances – if they wish, they can require satisfaction or significant signs of reform from the penitent before absolution. Some sins – such as solicitation for sex in the confessional – are even deemed so serious that only higher prelates, sometimes only the Pope or his appointed delegate can forgive them.
Yet the abusers continue to abuse. So are the sexually active priestslying to their confessors? This would mean that not only do the perpetrating priests remain in a state of mortal sin and are automatically excommunicated, they perform the sacraments in that state which is itself a grave sacrilege.
Or, even worse, are all the abusive priests linked? Do they only go to confession to like-minded perps who will understand? Is there then an organized network of sexually perpetrating priests, all busily enabling each other? This adds collusion and conspiracy to the sinand would indicate that the very structure itself is rotten to the core.
The evidence available suggests that perhaps both scenarios are true to varying degrees in different situations. Either way, however, the result is much the same.
The sacraments are meant to unite believers with Christ. Not just to remove the accumulations of sin like the weekly laundry, but togradually improve the recipient. They are intended to sanctify and uplift the faithful, increase devotion to God, charity to fellow humans, and moral stamina in the face of evil.
If the sacraments actually worked like this, wouldn’t we hear ennobling stories of clerical reform, of some molester inspired to truly repent and devote himself to the cause? But rather, the stories are depressingly the same, of priests caught time and again, transferred, treated, and now finally, laicized often against their will, with no regret or even acknowledgement of their evil.
What this means, each person must decide in their own conscience. But perhaps the fall off in confessions over the years itself tells the story. Why should anyone, lay or not, risk a ritual that seems so impotent in promoting reform and may, instead of granting grace, actually expose them to greater human wickedness?
The MASS is fake flesh of Christ
Transubstantiation or the Mass is a recent development . St. Peter and St. Paul and the Apostles never celebrated Mass and never “transubstantiation” the bread into the flesh of Christ, what they did was to preach about Christ. The Mass was a slow development from the 12th century through various liturgical reforms until the 20th century. It was only in 1215 at the Fourth Council of the Lateran that the Mass began to take form and in 1551 at the Council of Trent that transubstantiation became what it is today. The Vatican has come to use it as its main crux of power on earth deceiving Catholics and peoples of all faiths that only Popes and men-priests have the exclusive power to transubstantiate God’s flesh. Because of the Mass, the Vatican has gotten away with all kinds of heinous crimes, e.g. the Crusades, the Inquisition, the burning of women and witcheshttp://jp2m.blogspot.com/2006/11/john-paul-ii-revived-inquisition.html “For the sake of the Eucharist” and because of the shortage of priests, John Paul II, Cardinal Ratzinger-Benedict XVI, the Opus Dei who controls the Vatican, the Cardinals and Bishops shuffled pedophile priests from one parish to another. The rest is history: the John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army committed Holy ES Eucharist-and-Sodomy of Biblical proportions see the John Paul II Millstone http://jp2m.blogspot.com/.
In the name of Hail Mary, we dare challenge and defy the Magisterium: No words pronounced by any finite-man can create an infinite-God! No words of the Pope and priests can re-create or re-incarnate Christ’s flesh. The words of sinful popes and priests are powerless and can never create God! Only Mary the Immaculate Conception deserved to bear God in her womb. No evil pope and evil priests is worthy to touch and hold God in their evil hands. The words of popes and Cardinals, Bishops and priests are mere clashing-cymbals of St. Paul see John Paul II the Great clashing cymbal of St. Paulhttp://jp2m.blogspot.com/2009/11/john-paul-ii-great-clashing-cymbal-of.html. See Benedict XVI to beatify John Paul II is “brought to nothing” by St. Paul http://pope-ratz.blogspot.com/2009/11/benedict-xvi-to-beatify-john-paul-ii-is.html
No matter how we look at it, finite-man cannot create an infinite-God. Man can never create God’s flesh. Not in in-vitro fertilization of the scientific laboratories. Not in the sacred altars of holy Roman Catholic churches which by the way were the same pedophile altars of the John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army See the John Paul II Millstonehttp://jp2m.blogspot.com/
Rome, call us heretics and we don’t care because in Boston and in America, we have freedom of speech. It was our freedom of speech that got rid of criminal-Cardinal Bernard Law and sent him packing out of our sight and out of our land. But only you, Rome, you the Roman Catholic Church a.k.a. Magisterium would glorify criminals like Cardinal Bernard Law and John Paul II. No other American state has been able to replicate our courage as Bostonians who got rid of the first Cardinal caught guilty of the John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army in America. Yes, we caught the first SS officer of the Third Reich of the Roman Catholic Church … but he went into glorious exile in Rome because only in the Catholic Church are criminals glorified See The John Paul II Millstone John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army expands into Ireland &John Paul is elevated as "Venerable"... only in the Catholic Church are criminals glorifiedhttp://jp2m.blogspot.com/2009/12/john-paul-ii-pedophile-priests-army.html
Benedict XVI, from the Chair of Peter, thinks his papal letter will heal the victims and solve the problem of clergy abuse in Ireland. The fact is, Benedict XVI’s words are powerless. NO POPE has ever healed anyone. As this picture shows,
They came sick and
they left sick.
they left sick.
There is NO
"Apostolic" authority or succession here,

People, please STOP DONATING to the ORATORY and STOP LIGHTING CANDLES to St. Joseph and instead donate your money to Red Cross, Doctors without Borders, your local charities, and the homeless shelters of Montreal.God will listen more to your prayers in your acts of charity because they are better than material candles and money you give to the wealthy billionaire CSC religious Holy Cross family of Saint Brother Andre. If you were to face Christ on Judgement Day today, He will not ask you how many candles you have lit at the Oratory of St. Joseph, but how many poor people you have helped, as He has said, “Whatsoever you do to the least of my brethren, that you have also done to Me.”
ZEUS GIANT SAINT JOSEPH did NOTHING to stop pedophile priests of the Congregation de Sainte-Croix happening right before his very eyes for 50 years
If you live in Los Angeles, or elsewhere in the USA or in the world, and are planning a “pilgrimage” to the Oratory of St. Joseph or flying to the Vatican, DON'T GO and instead DONATE that pilgrimage money to the Red Cross or your local charity - or sponsor a poor student and pay for his or her school supplies and school lunch for a year, or feed a homeless person for a year at McDonald's, instead of flying to Montreal to see the Oratory or the Vatican Mammon Beast - and God will listen more to your prayers in your act of mercy rather feeding the Vatican Mammon Beast or St. Joseph Oratory Mammon Beast copying the Vatican Titanic sinking in moral bankruptcy.http://popecrimes.blogspot.ca/2012/12/oratory-of-st-joseph-copy-vatican.html

The false (old) statement is, Catholics are “Roman Catholics” of the “Roman Catholic Church”.
The true (new) statement is, Catholics are “Vatican Catholics” of the “Vatican Catholic Church”.

People, please STOP DONATING to the ORATORY of St. Joseph and instead donate your money to Red Cross, Doctors without Borders, your local charities, and the homeless shelters of Montreal.
God will listen more to your prayers - through your acts of charity - because they are better than material candles and money you give to the wealthy billionaire CSC religious Holy Cross family of Saint Brother Andre.
God said in the Bible: It isn’t material sacrifice that I want, but acts of mercy.
If you were to face Christ on Judgement Day today, He will not ask you how many candles you have lit at the Oratory of St. Joseph, buthow many poor people you have helped, as He has said, “Whatsoever you do to the least of my brethren, that you have also done to Me.”
Christ also said, when you pray, go to your room, close the door and pray to your Father in secret, and he will hear your prayers
Pope John Paul II and all popes and cardinals and bishops mitres
Because of his biggest heist crime between the Vatican Bank and secret Vatican Swiss Banks - Pope Francis is the greatest pretender and impostor of Jesus and Pope Francis is NOT the Vicar of Christ but the Vicar of the Devil.

The 1.2 billion Catholics are Francis-Maniacs and together with Pope Francis fit like a glove in what Jesus said: Your father is the devil. You are his children, and you want to do what your father wants. He was a murderer from the beginning. He has never stood for the truth, because there's no truth in him. Whenever that liar speaks, he speaks according to his own nature, because he's a liar and the father of liars. (John 8:44 CEB).
Pope Francis is the worst con-artist and CON-Christ more than John Paul II and Benedict XVI-RATzigner and all popes combined. He fits perfectly that last pope portrait in the gallery of 266 popes (as predicted by Nostrasdamus) and he warrants the prediction of The Third Secret Fatima on the destruction of the Vatican like the Temple of Solomon wherein not one pillar will be left standing. The Temple of Solomon was filled with jewels and was the wealthiest in the kingdoms of the world exactly like the Vatican is the wealthiest today especially with the hundreds of billions heist of Pope Francis, read more here Hidden Heist in the Holy See?

Pope Francis & Cardinals: “Princes” of the Vatican Catholic Church in their Emperor’s Clothes regalia and diplomatic passports as they follow “Jesus walking ahead” http://pope-francis-con-christ.blogspot.ca/2014/02/pope-francis-cardinals-princes-of.html
When Jesus said these words, he was saying it to the self-righteous Pharisees who were constantly praying in the Temple of Solomon or synagogues, and today, those would be the Opus Dei and the Catholics who are Francis-Maniacs especially at the Vatican and St. Peter’s Square.
A thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy. But I came so that my sheep will have life and so that they will have everything they need. John 10:10 GW Pope Francis is the greatest thief of mankind who does not provide for his Sheep except the fake Host in the Sorcery of the Eucharist where he is a Merlin HOAX magician who cannot clone ants and dogs and therefore cannot clone Christ either.
In the history of the Vatican Catholic Church, it is possible to be both a magician and a rapist at the same time –– to be a magician magically cloning Christ everyday in the Eucharist and be a bestial rapist holy father saintly missionary -- like Belgian missionary Father Eric or like the Italian Franciscan saint who raped countless virgin brides in a town in China in the 18th century - but was canonized by John Paul II nonetheless amidst Chinese protest, read more here http://jp2m.blogspot.ca/2007/09/john-paul-ii-canonised-rapist-in-china.html
