Irish police discovered a mass grave at a former home for unwed mothers in Tuam, Ireland, once run by an order of catholic nuns. The bodies of nearly 800 children and infants, interred in an unused septic tank, had gone unmarked and unnoticed for decades, until local historian Catherine Corless uncovered documents that led to the gruesome revelation. Since the news broke, Irish media have reported that at least three similar church-run facilities also have mass graveyards. A spokesman for the nuns declared it 'very sad chapter in the history of Irish society.' She missed the point, its a very sad chapter for the Catholic church and the Irish religious.
