Furthermore, more potential graves were being identified daily and the grave sites were on reservations that had been administered by the Roman Catholic Church.
Like the US, Canada had sub-contracted the administration of "Indian" Reservations with large charities, which in that day meant religious organizations. Typically, a given tribe would be serviced by a given religious denomination.
The mainstream media ran with the story. The qualifier "potential" was either eliminated or buried in paragraph 13 of the story. If a reader had extra time and an inclination to dig, the original paper that triggered the fecal storm stated that there were many other natural phenomena, like rotting stumps and tree roots, that were capable of producing the anomalies that were identified as "potential grave sites".
Catholic churches in Canada were vandalized. Bishops groveled.
It was ugly.
And now, two years later, it turns out the anomalies were...due to natural causes.
With respect to the mainstream media, dare I suggest that they were projecting their own, pervasive, institutionalized ill-will toward their fellow man on to the charities in question?
I will breathlessly await the retractions...
ReplyDeleteAnd the apologies, and the rebuilding of the burned down churches etc.....
Deleteit's all about hate Christianity and hate white men in particular. It is just beginning. ---ken
ReplyDeleteI wouldn’t be to hasty in pointing a finger.
ReplyDeleteThe exact same thing has just been repeated in Ireland, and whilst the hyperventilating malicious manufactured story was front-page news the retraction is ... amazingly still absent yet again.
ReplyDeleteIt's all a deliberate attack, keep throwing sh*t at The Church in the hope some will stick, and since most people never bother reading past the made-up headlines, it's sadly working.
There are no lines of decency or honesty that the statists will not cross to diminish all social institutions other than the government. And since the entire system is corrupt, do not expect the solution to come from within the system.
ReplyDeleteThat, for me, was the End Point.
ReplyDeleteI realize that there were some disgusting little pervs in the Catholic Church. They were heavily outnumbered by the good priests and brothers. Many Leftist organizations and attorneys cynically saw this as a HUGE payday, and took in specious cases, 'victims' with absolutely NO proof of any kind - often people with severe mental issues, and what available evidence there was tended to exonerate the accused.
No matter, they were - in public, in the media, and without pushback - dragged through the mud.
All for cash. Which mostly went to the attorneys.
That whole process also upended established law, killing the statute of limitations (and later enabling the Trump accusers), and destroying long established volunteer opportunities, including the Boy Scouts and other non-Leftist organizations.
I'm still steamed just thinking about.
Ironically, both OTHER clergy (NOT those vowing to be celibate) and TEACHERS have MUCH higher rates of offense. Verifiable offense, with EVIDENCE.
Sorry for all the caps. But, thanks for letting me get it off my chest.
