Anybody else watch 60 minutes?

1950s

In the beginning unmarried women would leave their kids with the church until they could provide for them and then come and get them.

Under Pope Pios XII, the church redefined orphan to be any child without two parents, and then began selling the kids to adoptive parents in the US for $450 each (about $4900 each in today's dollars). Then this turned into a machine that went around looking for unwed mothers and deceiving them and selling their kids.

I thought hiding child molestations was the worst thing the Catholic church of the 20th century did until I found out about this.

When mothers would come to reclaim their kids, they were told their children died.
