News reports that near 800 remains have been found on the grounds of a Catholic residential school in Canada. Places where native children who were taken from their families were sent to civilize them. That is beaten till they stopped speaking or living their native languages or customs.
Now this…murder. They were being regularly killed. Murdered.
What were they doing,…how many did they kill? They found 751 so far, and are still looking. When asked one of the investigators said there are more to be found out there.
How did they hide it for so many years. The Church the Nun’s Brothers the Priests…they were murderers or accomplices in their silence. Their schools all over North America were dens of routine abuse. I was there It happened to me. It’s so common people call themselves “Catholic Survivors”. In my life I never met one person that went to catholic school that didn’t have stories of what they witnessed or what happened to them.
Now this. Not only did they beat traumatize, and rape us. They were killing kids too. They were murdering kids for decades. I had thought the beatings, and humiliations was the crime. My g-d! It turns out they murdered kids too!
"Have you noticed that it is the most civilized gentlemen who have been the subtlest slaughterers, to whom the Attilas and Stenka Razins could not hold a candle, and if they are not so conspicuous as the Attilas and Stenka Razins it is simply because they are so often met with, are so ordinary, and have become so familiar to us." -FYODOR DOSTOEVSKY, "Notes From the Underground", Part I;VII
ReplyDeleteThe calm bureaucracy of murder. This one blessed by religion.
