85 Catholic churches burned after unverified claims of mass graves

[Michie]

TORONTO (OSV News) — According to the Catholic Civil Rights League‘s database, at least 85 Catholic churches have been set ablaze or vandalized since the unproven discovery May 27, 2021, of 215 suspected unmarked graves near the former Kamloops Indian Residential School.

Police are investigating the latest victimized house of worship, St. Gabriel Catholic Mission Church in Janvier, Alberta, destroyed by fire Dec. 15. The church was not in use at the time.

Kamloops, which opened in the late 19th century, was run by the Catholic Church until the federal government took it over in the late 1960s and operated it into the late 1970s. Certain declarations were made during 2021 tying the church to the reported discovery of graves at the residential school, but the credibility of these declarations is apparently not holding up.

I can't believe how truly uninformed people are, that enough people up there would still buy into the false story that the Church had anything to do with those graves. They were there before the school. Dumb Canucks need to get their heads out of their hindquarters.

Anti-Catholicism is very much alive in our country and elsewhere. Don't be surprised by these anti-Catholic bigots.

I'm both completely unsurprised and yet there are times where it's hard to believe people are still so ignorant (especially when they think we're the most enlightened generation in human history).
