Bethany Home: 200 in unmarked graves and 28 unaccounted for

In a review of a book entitled The Irish Establishment 1879-1914, by Fergus Campbell, Oxford University Press in the online Dublin Review of Books the reviewer makes these comments in reference to a prominent churchman who had responsibility for overseeing the Bethany Home in the 1920s:

"Single mothers and their “illegitimate” children were separated from their families and community, before being separated from each other. At the 1928 annual meeting of the Bethany Home the Rev H Watson said, “if they had not the home, the children would be sent out into the world with the brand of Cain”. The Bethany Home (sometimes “House”) in Dublin appeared to cater solely for Protestant single pregnant women and their “unwanted” children. It was, according to Kurt Bowen’s definitive study of the Church of Ireland in southern Ireland, “the major facility for Protestant women in need of institutional care”. It was a residual product of the efforts of the ICM to evangelise Ireland, but served also to illustrate how, post-independence, the religiously committed in both communities were permitted to define the boundaries of sexual activity and then to police “offending” women, who were left to cope with the consequences."
The book reviewer notes that protestant and catholic attitudes to social-sexual morality in Ireland were virtually the same during the 19th century and up to the 1970s.

The bodies of 28 of the children who died in care at a Protestant-run children's home are unaccounted for.

And former residents are now planning to initiate legal proceedings against the Education Minister if they are not included in the State Redress Scheme.

The Irish Independent has learned they have set an October deadline for inclusion after evidence emerged that more than 200 children who died in the Bethany Home in Rathgar were buried in unmarked graves.

If this deadline passes, they will initiate High Court proceedings.

Former resident Derek Leinster said his upbringing was "impoverished beyond belief" and he is now seeking to be included in the scheme.

"They (the State) should do what they did for the Catholics," he said.

"They should apologise to the minority groups for their neglect of their duty of care for their citizens.

"Without being included (in the Redress Scheme) none of us can go forward. People like me and others like me have a right to have our cases reviewed by the minister."

Meanwhile it emerged yesterday that the bodies of 28 of the children who died in care are unaccounted for.

Niall Meehan, head of Journalism at Griffith College Dublin, revealed there were at least 219 infant deaths at the Bethany Home in Rathgar, Dublin, over a 47-year period after he widened his trawl of cemetery records.

It had initially been believed there were 40 children buried in unmarked graves in Mount Jerome Cemetery.

Bethany Home was a combined children's home, maternity home and detention centre for female convicts that closed in 1972.
Mr Meehan discovered that at least 219 were buried in Mount Jerome between 1922 and 1949 -- and a further 28 elsewhere.

He said the additional 28 children emerged after comparing cemetery records with those held by adoption agency PACT in relation to the home.

Records

"The organisation that holds the records wouldn't give them to me," said Mr Meehan.

"But they did finally agree to give me figures of how many died in any given year. I cross-referenced those with the numbers in Mount Jerome and 28 are unaccounted for."

Mr Meehan also discovered that eight more babies are buried in Mount Jerome (29) than were reported internally (21) to Bethany's managing committee.

Almost 40pc of 219 child deaths between 1922-1949, occurred in one five-year period from 1935-39.

Additionally, 54 children died from "convulsions", 41 from "heart failure", 26 from "marasmus", a form of malnutrition and seven from "delicacy".

Documents unearthed by Mr Meehan show that in January 1939 the deputy chief medical adviser, William Sterling Berry, visited the home and reported it "much improved since my last inspection".

He also reversed findings of neglect against Bethany nurse mothers in Monaghan.

The following October Mr Sterling Berry returned and rationalised increased sickness and mortality by saying: "It is well recognised that a large number of illegitimate children are delicate ... from their birth and if removed from constant medical supervision and nursing attention often quickly deteriorate."

Mr Meehan added: "The State did little or nothing about reported increases in illness and mortality during the 1935 to 1939 period, though it was brought to the attention of the Dept of Local Government and Public Health by its own inspectors.

"The Government knew the facility was insufficient and did nothing concrete to remedy it."

Tanaiste Mary Coughlan described the reports as "very upsetting" and said she would be discussing the issue with Justice Minister Dermot Ahern.

She said the Government took the issue very seriously but it had to base any decisions on the historical facts.

Labour TD Joe Costello has called for a "full scale inquiry" into the matter.

The lay faithful, too, should be encouraged to play their proper part in the life of the Church. See that they are formed in such a way that they can offer an articulate and convincing account of the Gospel in the midst of modern society (cf. 1 Pet 3:15) and cooperate more fully in the Church’s life and mission. This in turn will help you once again become credible leaders and witnesses to the redeeming truth of Christ.

Te doen gerechtigheid
hebt Gij ons aangezegd.
Dat woord heeft ons bevrijd,
elk ander heeft ons geknecht.
Geef dat ons niets weerhoudt
die lange weg te gaan.
Dat elk zich nu verstout
uw richting in te slaan.

Wier dagen Gij bezocht,
wier harten Gij doorgrondt,
voor wie Gij hebt gewrocht
de aarde en de zon;
wier toekomst is in U,
Gij maakt hun leven
waar -mocht Gij hen hier en nu
bekeren tot elkaar.

Dat niemand hen kleineert
die Gij wilt maken groot,
voor wie Gij hebt geslaakt
de boeien van de dood.
Opdat wij zouden staan
vrij voor uw aangezicht,
getekend met uw naam -
en leven in uw licht.

Schoolstrijd en gemiste historische kans voor Mgr. Eijk

VATICAANSTAD (RKnieuws.net) - Paus Benedictus XVI heeft vandaag de geloofsbrieven ontvangen van de nieuwe ambassadeurs bij de H. Stoel van de Filipijnen, Nederland en de VS.

Het gaat respectievelijk om Mercedes Arrastia Tuason, Henriette Johanna Cornelia Maria van Lynden- Leijten én Miguel Humberto Dias.

Paus Benedictus toonde zich in een gelegenheidstoespraak verheugd over het feit dat de Nederlandse regering het belang van de godsdienst in de samenleving erkent maar toonde zich

kritisch over over de wettige status van alternatieve samenlevingsvormen in Nederland.

"While some of the Dutch population would declare itself agnostic or even atheist", said the Pope in his address to the ambassador from the Netherlands, "more than half professes Christianity, and the growing numbers of immigrants who follow other religious traditions make it more necessary than ever for civil authorities to acknowledge the place of religion in Dutch society". In this context he noted how "faith schools receive State support in your country, and rightly so, since such institutions are called to make a significant contribution to mutual understanding and social cohesion by transmitting the values that are rooted in a transcendent vision of human dignity".

The Holy Father continued his English-language remarks: "Even more basic than schools in this regard are families built on the foundation of a stable and fruitful marriage between a man and a woman. ... The Catholic Church in your country is eager to play its part in supporting and promoting stable family life, as the Dutch Bishops' Conference stated in its recent document on the pastoral care of young people and the family.

"It is my earnest hope that the Catholic contribution to ethical debate will be heard and heeded by all sectors of Dutch society, so that the noble culture that has distinguished your country for centuries may continue to be known for its solidarity with the poor and the vulnerable, its promotion of authentic freedom and its respect for the dignity and inestimable value of every human life", he concluded.

Nu zijn natuurlijk allerlei complimenten als noble culture prachtig, maar wellicht had ter voorkoming van dergelijke katholieke geschiedvervalsing Mgr. Eijk hem nu toch maar beter even iets in het oor kunnen fluisteren. Dat krijg je ervan als zo'n Vaticaan ceremoniemeester voor hoerenloperij en - gay pride - verzet - "weet je wel wie ik ben?" - tegen zijn arrestatie alweer voor de rechtbank staat.


Hoe moet de Paus dan weten dat in Nederland zo'n klepperman bij het vuilnis en de beerput hoort?

Monseigneur, ce ne sont que des gueux
