The home, which was run by an order of Catholic nuns and closed in 1961, was one of many such institutions that housed tens of thousands of orphans and unmarried pregnant women who were forced to give up their children throughout much of the 20th century.

In 2014, historian Catherine Corless tracked down death certificates for nearly 800 children who died at the home in Tuam between the 1920s and 1961 — but could only find a burial record for one child.

    Yeah, and the irony is that in the Bible, Lucifer never even asked for an animal or human sacrifice, but god did.

      Excellent name.

      Also, under the Christian dogma, Satan has no authority beyond what God allows. Who then is truly responsible for his actions?
