These investigations have been going on for years all over Ireland...in fact just recently the Irish government admitted that 10's of thousands of children were killed by nuns and the religious orders ..and apologised on behalf of the murderers....

Yet I've never heard of one nun or priest being brought to bear for these atrocious crimes

Having sex before marriage must have been such a terrible sin, the nuns and priests developed a hatred towards the girls and their babies, so hard to understand such cruelty.

Some things I read I find so unbelievable.
How incredibly sad.
