Pope francis made these comments in Dec 2016, but I don't recall seeing that covered here, apologies If it was. I just wanted to bring some awareness to it. I was thinking today about the power the Catholic Church had over Ireland for so many years and the mass murder and rape they have gotten away with for years, as I see that the pope is planning a visit to Ireland this year. They are at the centre of this atrocity in alot of ways. The term "fake news" was coined at the same time the pizzagate scandal surfaced.

The mass graves story was retracted years ago. There was no septic tank and not one skeleton was found. The entire thing is fraudulent.

no it was not retracted, why do you say that?

It was retracted by the AP. I gave you the link.
What is perhaps most striking about this story is the extent to which much of the mainstream media has had to walk back its inflammatory stories. The Associated Press even apologized in June for distorting the record. But the damage has been done: once again, the Catholic Church in Ireland has been unfairly blamed for persecuting innocent women and children.
Anti-Catholicism in Ireland, England, and the United States is fueling the “mass grave” hysteria. It’s a sick appetite, and there is no shortage of irresponsible persons feeding it.

You have no idea what you're talking about. Ask anyone who grew up in Ireland. Read this and tell me how the Church has been 'unfairly blamed' https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Catholic_Church_sexual_abuse_scandal_in_Ireland

That link is from the Catholic league, of course they would deny it.

The AP retracted it. Can you read? This is common knowledge. You are spreading a fake story. There was no septic tank and no babies. They do not exist.

I am a Christian by the way. The Catholic church have systematically abused the Irish people for years. You are obviously a troll or have no clue what you are talking about. I live in Ireland and I can tell you it did happen. I personally know men who were abused by these priests, and I know women who were in the homes for mothers and babies and had their children taken from them at birth.

You saw no dead babies in a septic tank. Your story is libel.
