Ireland was a nasty place. The Church worked hard made it more cruel. All the excuses in the world can’t explain why they dumped those innocent wretches out into, at best, a converted septic tank.
They should have has a burial in a church cemetery. But they were bigots and cruel, and so they refused.

Sensationalism aside, compare the coverage of this with the Gosnell trial (or anything related to the American Holocaust of abortion) - and they haven’t used this grave in over 50 years. Between 1926 and 1961, who was going to pay for 800+ graves? This was the Ireland of “Angela’s Ashes”.
We live in a country where abortion is so widespread, and criticize those who looked for an alternative (again, for less than half a century, ending over half a century ago). Ireland’s respect for life is probably the main reason it has the highest “white” birth rate in Western Europe.
No they had a Faith to defend for the living.
You have no idea whether or not they pitied or prayed for these unfortunates or how they treated them or comforted them in life; but you pretend to for your own purposes.
Christianity didn't rise from 11 Apostles of a “dead guy” to nurture learning, science and civilization as we know it today, in the greatest, richest nation ever seen because Christians were weak-minded slobs who didn't know the difference between pity and charity. The fact that these Nuns devoted their lives to taking care of the fallen and neglected is evidence of their Goodness. These "wretches" were ostracized by their own actions. People understood then that were they not ostracized society would have begun the spiral into decadence and hell we are witnessing today, decades earlier. Start counting the "poor of Spirit" today resulting from the stupid destructive leftisim that began in the 1960's. You want "Evil"? There it is.
