Story of 800 Babies Buried in Mass Grave in Septic Tank Next to Home for Children of Unwed Moms Was a Hoax

If you’re a Catholic and you’re on the internet you’ve heard about the nuns in Ireland who killed and dumped hundreds of babies in a septic tank in the 1960′s.
The story is a mainstream media hoax that was, for them, just too good to be true. It’s telling that when right now it turned out that babies were being burned in an incinerator for energy the media pretty much ignored that one for a long time but a rumor about nuns nearly a century ago gets splashed all over the MSM. They showed their hand on this one. Let’s face it, they don’t care about dead babies. They care about attacking the Church and making Catholics appear like hypocrites.
There’s only one sin in MSM world and that’s hypocrisy. But, you see, in that outlook the only sinless person is the nihilist.
This Forbes report takes down the story pretty effectively:
Few of us are inclined to look a gift horse in the mouth, and that applies in spades to journalists running with a sensational news story. But even by normal media standards, recent reports about the bones of 796 babies being found in the septic tank of an Irish orphanage betray a degree of cynicism and irresponsibility rarely surpassed by allegedly reputable news organizations.
