Exactly.
I expect it was starvation and illness.
You may be right, but just thinking about the numbers implied, this does not look like atypical infant mortality among the poor of the 1920's all the way to 1950-ish.

(The number is an estimate because not all the adoptions were legal)

What's the big controversy if this is all true then? If the nun(s) weren't killing the children and the home itself wasn't fully responsible for their deaths then is it the fact that they just buried them in mass graves?
Was there ever a time in history where dumping kids is mass graves was socially acceptable?

One person’s horrible actions is NOT a church. Jesus told Peter in the Bible to start a church so the Catholic Church was formed. One horrible nun is not the church.
Spare me this shite, you know damn well the Catholic Church has its hands in a lot of bad things.
You see that kool aid over there? Don’t drink it.

Yeah. Probably. But anyone who knows why starvation was common during that time will
still scoff at / be skeptical about that being tossed away as an explanation.”Famine” was not really a thing that was accurate from an agricultural output POV for the island.

Wtf are you talking about? They are the original Christians. Every other Christian is just an edit of an edit and so on.

Plague? Influenza? War? I understand what you're asking but these kids weren't there because people cared about them.
What do you do when you have no money and a serious illness sets in when you only have people who are there because their God commands it?
Is "mass graves" even the correct term here or is it a bunch of paupers graves right next to each other?

That vow of celibacy is a bitch. Makes priests pervy and nuns sadistic.

Knowing their nuns some were probably killed due to being “bastards.”

when asked to comment, Mother Supervisor simply stated nunya
Mother Superior calls all the nuns together and says to them: "I must tell you all something. We have a case of gonorrhea in the convent."
"Thank God," says an elderly nun at the back of the room, "I'm so tired of Chardonnay."
I’ll see myself out

When you say “ a large portion of the Catholic Church”, I am sure that you are referring to individuals who claim to be catholic. The Catholic Church is as it always was, and that is the institution founded by Christ , handed down to the apostles, and on to where we are today. there is definitely evil very close to the church. I would expect the devil plays close to what he considers to be his greatest threat, but as promised by Christ, the church will prevail.

I don't understand. Is the article implying the babies were murdered after birth and by abortion? Or just that they tragically died and that's just where they were buried with no meaningful records or ceremony because of the time and volume?
If the later, why all this pearl clutching:
What would sexual abuse by others have to do with tragic deaths of babies in a charitable home for homeless single mothers? This feels like a bland "Christianity is bad" hit piece.
