What made the Catholic Church and its people cruel?

Explanation:

Priests of the Catholic Church often sent unmarried mothers away to boarding schools and took they're children they would tell the mothers that they're child was being well cared for and ask the mothers for money to cover the costs of childcare little did the mothers know they're children had been put up for adoption or sometimes sold and the church was keeping the money for themselves this is just 1 example of the corruption in the church

i think it’s a i hope that right : )
