Catholic Church apologizes for ‘pain’ caused by ‘forced adoption’ in Australia

CATHOLICABUSESURVIVORSNI.COM---nothing new here they dispersed siblings in children homes , adopted them and future birth siblings , they raped and tortured them, with the irish and british goverments as partners in it all through their social services boards on a daily basis , and worse world wide ,

You are correct JT.I do not have a suspicious nature but sometimes I feel that the Catholic church is being pushed into the limelight to take the heat off other religious and state institutions.

This did not only occur in Catholic institutions.I think you would find it it was common practice in State institutions throughout the western world.

Wayward Girls???? Was there any Wayward Men?????

The church also done this in Ieland, I was told by a Cork man the homes for wayward girls were like concentration camps.

The Australian government conducted an abhorrent policy of forcibly removing aboriginal children from their parents and placing them in Catholic and anglican missions. The forced migration of unwanted children from britain after the war to Australia where they were placed in the care of christian orphanages where in some cases they were brutalised.Pedophilia,rape and torture took place in these homes run by anglicans and catholics.

is there no end to the lives they have ruined

another shameful disgrace courtesy of the catholic church.

The hierarchy is only sorry that the word got out. The same happened in Ireland except the Holy Mother the Church sold the infants to the highest bidder. There has to be a day of reckoning for our Church. This attitude that its past history is WRONG> It's like when I was in school years ago and at that time they taught the Inquisition as a good thing.

I don't reporting on real events is "bashing" Catholics but rather the reporting of another event within the Catholic Church that disregards the impact on children and their mothers. All for the greater good of course! By now most of us realized the Church's definition of greater good generally includes exploitation of the membership.

Anti-Catholic bashing again. We are seeing that it occured in Anglican (C of I) homes as well. Given the ages of some of these women, didn't their parents consent to some of this and if so why isn't that being brought to light?

Another Catholic Hate story. The Australian government had a program where Aborginal children were taken from their families. Is this the same story? Were Protestant Hospitals involve in this practice? Was this sanctioned by the government of Australia?

the power of eve's forbidden fruit gets their adams all worked up and then the crazy church distributes their product. Is such a religion about a reject worthy of being idolized. But, then, Boy's Town did some good.

mcbreen, how about the babies left at Catholic hospitals indeed! Where else would these mothers go? To a presbytery? With so many infants fathered by clergy it would have been a good start anyway.

What about the babies that the mother's left in garbage cans or at the doorsteps of Catholic hospitals by the thousands? Should the Church have left them to die as their mother's did? Where is an example of ONE mother who would rather have her child back than a potential cash settlement? And BTW, the old Maria Monk canard was rejected IN IT'S DAY by thinking people. Would that there would be more of them today.
