Go here to read the story. Almost all the mainstream media are now propagandists for the Left and have little interest in factual news. Mere facts, in any case, will for the mainstream media never stand in the way of a good Christian bashing story. That this stirred up a wave of church burnings in Canada was merely icing on the cake. Start counting for the time it will take Catholic bishops, cardinals and the Pope to apologize for their eagerness to sign on to this Leftist fiction. We Catholics are led by fools and or knaves.

If I only received a dime for each time a person asks the question; “Is the Pope Catholic?” and had it be without sarcasm, I could comfortably retire.
What is he thinking?
A.) To hell with facts.
B.) Fits the agenda for reform.
C.) Gotta hurry. My Masonic Lodge.
meeting is coming up.
D.) All of the above.
In all sincerity.
What is going on? Mistakes can happen. I understand that, however if he truly is sorry for an injustice that the Church rightfully owns, he only has to look at the CCP and his raw deal. Pray for the underground Church and their hardships.
Insane times.
Quite appalling really.
A mass grave implies a mass murder. Is this the story they were trying to sell to the world?
The Church leadership in Canada have buried their heads in the sand because their silence implies guilt. Speak up!
Meanwhile the true religion of peace is the fastest growing religion in Canada.
D. McClarey is absolutely prescient on this matter, as I was thinking about this article at The Federalist all day today (“The Great Kamloops Reservation Mass Burial Hoax”):
When I first read this some months ago and all hell broke loose, including the subsequent arson of several Catholic churches, it had to be false knowing my experience in the great Southwest, visiting the sites of the many reservation schools once run by the Catholic Church: burials were always treated with the utmost respect in traditional Catholicism, both of Native Americans and “white missionaries.” You can go to St. Catherine’s at Topawa, Arizona, on the Tohono O’Odham Reservation—a very remote Catholic reservation dating back to the 1890’s: Franciscan priests, Indians, children (high mortality rate), all buried but each with a small marker. The sites are visited to this day by the Indians. Never a “mass burial.” Same at San Tan (“St Anne’s”) near Sacaton, AZ, San Xavier del Bac near Tucson, or the White Mountain Apache reservation run by the Franciscans, and etc. Catholic burials were always marked for veneration of the Faithful Departed and to this day are still revered: the plots are sacred ground.
The whole Kamloops story from the start stunk of lies: but never expect the godless Left to face accountability.
Ezabelle: Our episcopal leadership reeks of sheer cowardice. They are hired hands who flee and abandon the flock when the wolves approach.
Cowards indeed Steve. If it’s one thing that our Church leadership do poorly is stand up and defend us. They could have an ounce of decency in their consciences and defend those faithful priests and nuns who looked after those children. We as a Church, have never disposed of the dead in the manner they are implying. Our burial ceremonies and our Masses for the dead are sacred. Shame on the leadership and their cowardly silence.
Just to add emphasis to this. One Franciscan priest, Fr. Richard , who worked on the reservation for years, asked to be have his cremated remains taken to the Catholic Cemetery at Sacaton: but, chalk it up to him being a child of the 60s, he wanted to have his ashes scattered.
The Gila River Catholic Indians told him, shocked, “Oh, no, no, Padre! You can’t do that, or your spirit will wander forever without rest: You must at least bury the ashes here, so you will rest, and we can come visit you.”
The point being, that the Catholic Indians even to this day believe and have respect for the dead and for their place of interment.
Mass burial? What poop. Mass delusion.
