Zappone urges church to ‘make reparation’ for Tuam
The Church must accept responsibility and make reparation for its part in mother and baby homes which were a very shameful chapter of Irish history, Minister for Children Katherine Zappone told the Pope.
Her candid message to Pope Francis also included a demand that the Church “willingly and unconditionally” contribute to a possible excavation and analysis of hundreds of remains at the Tuam mother and baby home.
