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.

    POPE LEO XIV Magnifica Humanitas

    Even in the darkest nights, the Lord raises up men and women who refuse to give up, who persevere in doing good, who protect the vulnerable and open pathways to reconciliation. The memory of the saints, righteous people and the oft-forgotten peacemakers, show us that grace does not magically eliminate conflict, but instead it inspires active resistance to evil and an astonishing creativity in doing good” (paragraph 211).

    Ab honesto virum bonum nihil deterret. Nothing deters a good man from doing what is honorable.
