LINK Irish Government: Church-Run Homes for Unwed Mothers Led to 9,000 Dead Kids | Hemant Mehta | Friendly Atheist | Patheos

A new report from the Irish government finds that about 9,000 children died in Catholic Church-run homes meant for unwed mothers between 1922-1998. The government helped fund these faith-based torture chambers where some victims were treated like lab subjects, testing out vaccines without any consent from their parents.

It’s the latest milestone in a years-long reckoning with how the Catholic Church has hurt generations of Irish citizens with its rejection of abortion rights and treatment of women in general.

The people of the Irish Republic have done much in recent years to remove the stranglehold of the Vatican over their country, but they still have much yet to do.
