St. Mary of Bethlehem Hospital was a monastic establishment that existed near Bishopsgate and near what became Liverpool Street Station - for at least two hundred years from before the 1300s to the 1500s.
It was recently extensively dug up in excavations being made for the creation of "Crossrail".
Many many bodies seem to have been found - of what were probably nuns.
No mention of the FACT of the rapid and violent suppression of the monasteries in the 1530s. A disgrace to England's history.
When this was reported on London News with Rizla - all that was mentioned was that this establishment was a forerunner of what became "Bedlam".
The irony is that mental illness DOES NOT EXIST. And that monastic establishments were more humane in their treatment of people having problems in life than those with this task in later centuries up until now.
Furthermore, St.Mary's probably never closed due to "cuts" or "recessions".
Monasticism as a general concept PRE-DATES and in my opinion is superior to "economics" and "psychiatry" and their attendant lies.
To my more modern way of thinking:-
POVERTY means simple living. NOT lack of money PER SE, nor privation, nor not working..... "Live simply so that others may simply live" Gandhi.
CHASTITY means appropriate use of sexuality. NOT it's extinction - which is impossible really....
and
OBEDIENCE means to the "UBI CARITAS ET AMOR IBI DEUS EST" type of principle....
