Misleading reports about mass graves have provoked hatred toward Catholics, and continue to cause confusion and anger and rob people of the opportunity for authentic understanding and mutual respect.
    It is the opinion of this blogger, a person whose immediate ancestry includes two First Nations in Canada, Black and Creole settlers from the Southern United States in the mid-1800s and English peoples, that bad actors - including politicians, so-called educators, and members of the media - have on many occasions deliberately promoted a false narrative to provoke dissension for financial gain or other unjustifiable advantages. Furthermore, the lies that have been told and that continue to be told do a profound disservice to the memory of those who have suffered abuse and who have legitimate complaints.

No unmarked graves have been discovered at Kamloops or elsewhere—not one. As of August 2023, there had been 20 announcements of soil “anomalies” discovered by GPR near residential schools across Canada; but most have not even been excavated, so what, if anything, lies beneath the surface remains unknown. Where excavations have taken place, no burials related to residential schools have been found.

    OFFICE | Deuteronomy 30 | Second Evensong of Mary Mother of God

    AND when all these things come upon you, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before you, and you call them to mind among all the nations where the Lord your God has driven you, and return to the Lord your God, you and your children, and obey his voice in all that I command you this day, with all your heart and with all your soul; then the Lord your God will restore your fortunes, and have compassion upon you, and he will gather you again from all the peoples where the Lord your God has scattered you.

    ST AUGUSTINE

    The truth is like a lion; you don’t have to defend it. Let it loose; it will defend itself.

    From Evensong 9 JAN - The Hymn

    Yet he that ruleth everything Can change the nature of the spring, And gives at Cana this for sign: The water reddens into wine.

    MARCUS AURELIUS

    There is but one thing of real value - to cultivate truth and justice, and to live without anger in the midst of lying and unjust men.

    If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.

    ARTHUR SCHOPENHAUER

    All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.
