After Pope's apology, Canada demands action on Indigenous issues

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau acknowledged that the request for forgiveness had an 'enormous impact' on the Indigenous representatives who received it. He added, however, that it could only be a 'starting point, a first step.'

At the request of Raymond Gros-Louis, an "elder" from the Huron-Wendat Nation, Pope Francis, his retinue of cardinals and bishops, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and Governor General of Canada Mary Simon all placed a hand on their hearts for a welcoming ceremony. Then, in keeping with tradition, this First Nations representative lit a "sacred fire" to "connect" with the four directions and the "four life elements." He blew a whistle and asked "the grandmother of the West for access to the great sacred circle." Thus began Pope Francis' meeting with Canadian authorities on Wednesday, July 27, at the Citadel of Quebec, on the third day of the visit by the Catholic Church's leader to the country.

The face-to-face meeting was promising. Mr. Trudeau, a champion of liberal values and a society that protects the rights of minorities, officially welcomed the Pope, the head of a Catholic Church in many ways opposed to the changes in Western societies of the past few decades (reproductive rights, same-sex marriage). But as early as 2017, the Canadian prime minister had gone to see Pope Francis at the Vatican to ask him to come to his country and present the Catholic Church's apology to Indigenous people for the mistreatment of some 150,000 children in residential schools it administered, in accordance with the recommendations from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission report in 2015. Until a delegation of Indigenous people visited Rome in late March 2022, the pope had refused.

But on Monday and Tuesday, the Argentine pontiff met and asked for forgiveness in the province of Alberta from the country's Indigenous communities (First Nations, Métis, Inuit) who had to endure the residential school system where children were forcibly interned and separated from their Indigenous families and culture in order to assimilate them into the dominant society. The multiple abuses they were subjected to – and the more than 6,000 deaths – caused family traumas that are still raw today in these communities.

'Deplorable system'

The cordial exchange between the government and the religious leader did not preclude a number of pointedly critical remarks. Mr. Trudeau acknowledged that Pope Francis' request for forgiveness on Monday had an "enormous impact" on the Indigenous representatives who received it. He added, however, that it could only be a "starting point, a first step" and that concrete actions must follow. Ms. Simon agreed: "We look forward to the actions that will be taken by the Church to continue this essential work" of reconciliation, she said. Mr. Trudeau also suggested that he would have preferred the apology to focus on "the role that the Roman Catholic Church, as an institution, has played," while the pope spoke on Monday of the actions of "many members of the Church and religious communities," without apologizing for the institution as a whole.

Dear David,

Canada is a first-world country, so you would think that all Canadians have access to clean water.

Well, think again, because, tragically, there are still Indigenous communities across this country who do not.

There are currently 27 First Nations communities facing long-term drinking water advisories in Canada.

Kids are unable to bathe without burning their skin, and people are unable to wash their dishes without getting blisters. This is an emergency.

That’s why I have launched a petition demanding Indigenous people get access to clean water NOW.

Click here to learn how you can help.

PETITION: Indigenous communities need clean water

These communities are being deprived of their basic human rights.

So, if you want to help me hold our politicians accountable by demanding meaningful action for First Nations people, click here to sign our petition or go to CleanWaterNow.ca.

All Canadians deserve access to safe and clean drinking water, and our politicians need to fix this problem immediately.

Yours truly,

Adam Soos

P.S. If you agree that access to clean and safe water is a basic human right that all Canadians deserve, go to CleanWaterNow.ca to sign our petition.

Cardinal Law Resigns as Boston Archbishop

By The Associated Press

    Dec. 13, 2002

VATICAN CITY -- Cardinal Bernard Law, under intense fire in a church sex abuse scandal, resigned Friday as Boston archbishop, the Vatican announced.

The Vatican said Pope John Paul II had accepted the resignation after the two men held talks Friday morning. The pope named Bishop Richard Lennon an auxiliary bishop in Boston, to run the diocese temporarily.

"I am profoundly grateful to the Holy Father for having accepted my resignation as archbishop of Boston," Law said in a written statement released by the Vatican.

Pope Francis said Saturday that Canada's residential school system and its forced assimilation of Indigenous children amounted to genocide. While the Pope did not use the word genocide in any of his addresses during his six-day tour of Canada, he made the comment during an in-flight media conference on his way back to Rome.
 
 
 

Pope says genocide took place at Canada's residential schools

Pontiff concludes 'penitential pilgrimage' of reconciliation between Catholic Church and Indigenous people

Pope says Canada's residential school system amounted to genocide

1 day ago
Duration 3:16
Pope Francis described Canada's residential school system and its forced assimilation of Indigenous children as genocide. Brock Pitawanakwat, the co-ordinator of the Indigenous Studies program at York University, called the Pope's comments 'late,' but said they were an 'important development.'

WARNING: This story contains distressing details

While the word genocide wasn't heard in any of Pope Francis's addresses during a week-long trip to Canada, on his flight back to Rome, he said everything he described about the residential school system and its forced assimilation of Indigenous children amounts to genocide.

"I didn't use the word genocide because it didn't come to mind but I described genocide," Pope Francis told reporters on the papal flight from Iqaluit to Rome on Friday. 

Over the last week, the Pope visited Edmonton, Quebec City and Iqaluit on a "penitential pilgrimage" of healing, reconciliation and hope between the Catholic Church and Indigenous people.

While addressing residential school survivors and their families in Maskwacis, Alta., Francis expressed deep sorrow for harms suffered at the church-run schools and asked for forgiveness "for the wrong done by so many Christians to the Indigenous peoples."

The Catholic Church ran over half of the residential schools in Canada. More than 150,000 First Nations, Métis and Inuit children were forced to attend the government-funded schools between the 1870s and 1997.

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which released its final report in 2015, concluded that the school system amounted to cultural genocide.

Since 2021, when the discovery of hundreds of unmarked graves at former residential school sites waved across the news, many are calling what had transpired more than cultural genocide. Last year, NDP member of Parliament Leah Gazan made a failed bid for Parliament to recognize the residential school experience as genocide, as she believes it meets the definition of genocide drafted by the United Nations.

The United Nations defines the term as a number of acts committed with the "intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national ethnical, racial or religious group" such as killing members, inflicting bodily or mental harm to members, deliberate physical destruction in whole or in part, imposing measures intending to prevent births within a group, or forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation in Winnipeg, which holds the records gathered by the TRC, has documented 4,118 children who died at residential schools thus far.

In his multiple speeches over the week, Pope Francis described the school system as a policy of assimilation and enfranchisement, and that it harmed families by undermining their language, culture, and worldview.

"I condemned it, taking away children, changing culture, the mind, traditions, a so-called race. A whole culture," Pope Francis told reporters.

"Yes, it's a technical word, genocide. I didn't use it because it didn't come to mind. But yes, I described it. Yes, it's a genocide."

Rescinding the Doctrine of Discovery

Indigenous people from coast-to-coast-to-coast have been calling for papal bulls that make up the Doctrine of Discovery to be rescinded.

The calls grew louder at each stop of the papal visit, with arguments being made that the papal bulls, or edicts, are the root cause of genocide against Indigenous peoples and laid the foundation for Canada to establish assimilation policies like the residential school system.

When asked about issuing a statement on the Doctrine of Discovery, Francis did not answer the question directly but talked about it as a doctrine of colonization.

"It's true, it's bad. It's unjust. Even today it's used," he said. "That mentality, that we're superior and Indigenous people don't count, that's why we have to work on … what was done that was bad, but with the awareness that even today, that same colonialism exists."


Support is available for anyone affected by their experience at residential schools or by the latest reports.

A national Indian Residential School Crisis Line has been set up to provide support for former students and those affected. People can access emotional and crisis referral services by calling the 24-hour national crisis line: 1-866-925-4419.

Mental health counselling and crisis support is also available 24 hours a day, seven days a week through the Hope for Wellness hotline at 1-855-242-3310 or by online chat at www.hopeforwellness.ca.

Pope admits to Genocide, motion to arrest him begins at UN – China-Rome alliance in jeopardy

Iqaluit, Canada: 
 
Pope Francis (Jorge Bergoglio) admitted today that genocide was committed in Canadian Indian residential schools, the majority of which were operated by his Roman Catholic Church. (Pope says genocide took place at Canada's residential schools for Indigenous children | CBC News) 
 
Bergoglio made the public admission to reporters after hurriedly leaving Canada to avoid protestors. 
 
Bergoglio’s admission sparked an immediate move at the United Nations to enforce the UN Genocide Convention and seek Bergoglio’s immediate arrest as the head fiduciary officer of a criminal body. 
 
According to diplomatic sources, several countries are preparing a motion to indict Bergoglio and other Vatican officials before the UN General Assembly and at the International Criminal Court (ICC). 
 
“Under the terms of the Convention, regimes that admit to genocide must be prosecuted and punished, and their assets can be seized as the avails of crime,” said a legal advisor to one of the countries. 
 
“It makes no difference if the regime is secular or religious. Their top officers must be prosecuted by the ICC and domestic courts.” 
 
Even more cataclysmic for the Church of Rome, the financial agreement signed between Bergoglio and Chinese officials in Prince George on July 23 is now in jeopardy, as is the Vatican Bank’s underwriting of China’s global economy. 
 
“Beijing can hardly depend on the IOR (Vatican Bank) if its assets are the target of a criminal investigation,” said the legal advisor. “This shakes up the entire Beijing-Rome alliance.” 
 
Kevin Annett*, who has led the campaign to expose and prosecute church-run genocide in Canada, welcomed the UN action but called for the immediate seizure of Catholic church lands and buildings as reparations for “centuries of mass murder by an admitted genocidal church.” “
 
It was no accident that Jorge Bergoglio scurried out of Canada soon after the City Council of Iqaluit nullified tax exemptions for his church in their community,” said Annett. 
 
“The world is awakening to the monster wrapped in religious camouflage. Every level of government needs to do like Iqaluit and stop subsidizing the killers of children. If they don’t, they are accomplices in an enormous crime.” 
 
 Annett also announced that the next stage of the campaign to defund and disestablish the Church of Rome in Canada and globally will commence this week. 
 
“This confession of guilt gives everyone the green light to defund and defang Rome, and reclaim the enormous wealth the Roman Catholic church has stolen from all of us. We and our indigenous allies will be occupying Catholic churches and reclaiming stolen land. And we’ll be publicly presenting a bill of over $1 billion to the Canadian government to demand back the secret and illegal transfer of taxpayers’ money into Vatican Bank coffers over the past two years alone. And since they likely won’t return this stolen money, we’ll take it back ourselves by legally seizing the money out of the church collection plates.”
