To add to that, that's just when it was officially running. The attitude didn't evaporate when the policy came to an end, a lot of people still think and act that sort of way.

Your article is bombarding me with ads for soft Yaoi.Pope: "Confessing and asking forgiveness aren't really our thing"
VATICAN CITY - As Canadians and Indigenous Peoples demand accountability and remorse from the Catholic Church for their role in the genocidal Residential Schools institutions that Canada operated for decades, Pope Francis released a statement announcing that this would not take place as making a...
That's just because of your search history.
i'm not actually sure precisely what that means, but I hope you enjoy!
Yeah it's by tracking. Mine comes up with vinyl, collars, and jumper cables.
Mine thinks I'm in need of women's cosmetic products and local professionals. And also that I might want to attend BYU.
Softcore, whatever. I assumed it would be obvious. I don’t like the whole word softcore. It feels wrong.
There’s nowhere near that much incriminating information in my Google search history.
That's because religion doesn't give a shit about the actual lives of people, they only care about the "soul" and the pocket books of the people under their "care."
Howling at the idea the problem here boils down to Catholicism. The “Father of Canada” setup the system and many of the worst abuses happened under the direct oversight of the Canadian government, while all of it has been excused and covered up by that same government. The problem isn’t religion, it’s colonialism.
I'm pretty damn certain their religious views about heathens directly contributed to them treating those children as horribly as they did. The fact that they were government employees just meant they made it official. If your reason for treating someone like shit is based on your religion, then the religion is the problem. Whether you do it as an individual, or a group. All that changes in that regard, is the scale of the atrocity.
They weren’t killing Indians to save their souls, they were killing them for productivity. For the almighty dollar and the land to spend it in. This issue isn’t reconciled because you’ve advanced beyond the backwards thinking of some pedophilic priests, it’s reconciled when what is stolen is returned, what is broken is repaired. The problem is not fanciful ideals or the lack thereof, but the material theft and the “greed” behind it. It’s not a moral lesson for you or anyone, it’s an ongoing tragedy.
That's not mutually exclusive, though. Of course, I rather doubt that killing people to save souls or due to their race would have become a thing if there weren't dollar signs to be had if it became a thing. But it has become a thing.
I would not actively jump to the conclusion that children were killed in the deliberate sense you're making it sound like. 200 dead over like a century of time, during which there was at least one pandemic where indigenous people were hit hard and schools were used as extended hospital space is not really that shocking. It's pretty well documented that when people asked the Canadian government for more funding for the schools, they insisted that funding was tied to the number of students and sent them sick children to justify the funds. Underfunded, overcrowded residential schools full of sick kids leads to mass death. Those are not circumstances the people operating the schools, Catholic or not, created for themselves. And they are much more likely the cause of mass death than imagining a Catholic School teacher beating children until they die.
