The Spin

Narrative A

The discovery of 33 infant remains at Tuam further exposes the Catholic Church's systematic cruelty toward vulnerable women and children, burying babies without markers or records as if they were worthless. Religious orders now refuse to pay meaningful redress, offering insignificant sums while hiding behind evasive non-apologies that dodge true accountability. This wasn't just neglect; authorities and religious institutions knew exactly where these children were buried and deliberately erased them from history.

Narrative B

The Tuam excavation confirms all 33 infants were buried in coffins in a marked burial ground, directly contradicting the sensationalized septic tank narrative that fueled anti-Catholic hysteria. The Commission's 2,865-page report already proved the Bon Secours Sisters struggled financially to provide care while families and the state abandoned these children entirely. Decades of vicious propaganda films have slandered generations of Bon Secours nuns who devoted their lives to serving the most vulnerable.
