We hear a lot about respect and dignity of the individual and in the Catholic faith,last rites with oil and incense plus holy water used at funerals over the coffins.

Mass grades are and should be an affront to that,little wonder the order of Nuns this home was under,does not want to comment.

It's shocking pure and simple in my opinion.

It was a different time, this was an orpanange in pre benefit times, I don't think it is right but there is nothing to say they weren't buried with the usual rituals just that they were buried in the same plot.. I expect it all came down to finance and saving the money for the living.... not saying abuse didn't go on in these homes because it patently did, and still does today in the care system, but once again everyone is tarred with the same brush, there were alot of decent people who took Holy Orders, just the same as not all teachers are paedos because of a few bad apples etc
