A wave of media reports of alleged hundreds of Native American children buried on former Catholic school grounds has led to the destruction or burning of nearly 100 churches across Canada.
Recall that in late May 2021, the media reported the discovery of the remains of more than 200 children at the site of a former boarding school for Indians in the province of Saskatchewan, Canada. Accusations were soon made that these were children murdered by representatives of the Catholic Church and the Canadian government. During the ‘investigation’ a report was prepared stating that there were 751 unmarked graves on the site of the former school. Ultimately, after more than 2 years of research and searches, no burial sites or remains of children were found.
After the first reports of ‘mass graves’ in Canada, an anti-Catholic campaign broke out. Media outlets such as the Toronto Star and The Washington Post were forced to issue corrections after their articles claimed the cemeteries were “mass graves,” even though the investigation was still ongoing.
Nesta Matthews, a radio host in New Brunswick, called for the burning of all churches built on areas inhabited years ago by Canada’s indigenous tribes.
Gerald Butts, a Canadian political consultant who served as a senior adviser to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau until 2019, wrote on Twitter (now X) that burning churches “can be understandable.” apologized for the ‘crimes of the Church’. During his pilgrimage to this country in 2022, the Pope even apologized to the Canadian Indians.
Media materials that spoke of the Church’s “indigenous victims” also sparked a wave of vandalism and arson of Catholic and Protestant temples in Canada. Anti-Christian and anti-Catholic sentiments also increased significantly in the country.
Vandalism following media reports
According to the independent Canadian daily True North, 96 churches have been desecrated, vandalized or vandalized across Canada since the first report in June 2021 about the remains of children across Canada.
Of the 33 church fires in Canada so far, investigators have ruled 24 cases of arson. In addition, 60 temples were destroyed, 11 of them within a few hours on the night of June 30, 2021. The attacks also included: a pro-life exhibition entitled “Every Child Matters”, which was set on fire in the Church of St. Augustine of Canterbury in Brandon, Manitoba, or a large cross cut down on July 12, 2021, on Mount Tzouhalem on Vancouver Island in British Columbia. The attackers also painted on the facade St. Andrew’s Cathedral in Victoria uses offensive slogans such as “racists” and “murderers”.
