    And yet in non Catholic Countries only the wealthy could send their children to Catholic schools, which were considered top notch.

    Stonewall Jackson preached to his slaves, and he wasn't the only one.

    You don't know if they were not Christians. All you know is that your friend Shane said they weren't Christians. He might have been a difficult child. If I didn't take my grandson on weekends, my daughter would have ended up in a mental ward. To this day my grandson has no idea how difficult he was.

    And yet Saint Don Bosco who started the Salesian Missions was able to handle all the street ruffians in the city he lived in. But then again he was a Saint and prayers do help. He did give some brilliant advice though. He said that if you want a child to do what you want them to do, then you have to do what they want to do.

    Flatly untrue.

    My 3 sisters and I went to parochial schools 1-12. We went from lower to upper middle class during that period. One of my close friends and 15 other siblings went to parochial schools k-12, though their family was quite poor.

    They are exceptional educational institutions, in general.

    It's sad how the mostly-ignorant citizenry can be stampeded into these wild panics by the media. Like, really sad. It's got me feeling glum for our future prospects today. Between this, COVID, silly things like "Russia hacked the power grid", it's a regular occurrence. Too many people are too consistently duped by the media.

    The other day, a reporter gave the government spokesman some pushback over the .gov's unsupported claim that Russians were preparing a false flag attack.

    Imagine how much stupidity could have been avoided if a reporter had stopped to question the (lack of) evidence about this "mass graves of indigenous children" story when it first came up.

    I've observed that our politics for the past couple of years seems to be driven from one media induced hysteria to another, with no real stops in between to check our facts or confirm anything. Maybe some people just love to be driven into hysterics. Certianly there were many organizations and people who benefited from this "mass graves" story. But no one with any influence or power seems to have a vested interest in the truth.

    Well, it's not surprising that this fake news is yet more lying propaganda.
    There is no culture of cannibalism in the West, your claim simply calls your sanity into question.
    Well, more clearly demonstrated in Stalin The Bloody who murdered up to 60,000,000.
    Lies from haters are certainly not unexpected, we hear these kinds of lies a lot, and from Stalists, which strikes me as ironic.

    CANADA: No human remains found 2 years after claims of ‘mass graves’ in Canada.

    'After two years of horror stories about the alleged mass graves of Indigenous children at residential schools across Canada, a series of recent excavations at suspected sites has turned up no human remains.'

    Does it make you sad that this was a lie, and there are no mass graves of children here?

    'Minegoziibe Anishinabe, a group of indigenous people also known as Pine Creek First Nation, excavated 14 sites in the basement of Our Lady of Seven Sorrows Catholic Church near the Pine Creek Residential School in Manitoba during four weeks this summer. The so-called “anomalies” were first detected using ground-penetrating radar, but on Aug. 18, Chief Derek Nepinak of remote Pine Creek Indian Reserve said no remains were found.'

    Nice job embarrassing yourself though, again. Remember when you told us that after a month from Russia's invasion that the war was won and that all that was left was 'mop up'?

    Canada: 751 unmarked graves found at residential school


    And if you're keen:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Indian_residential_school_system

    In May 2021, remains believed to be those of 215 children were found buried on the site of the Kamloops Indian Residential School in Kamloops, British Columbia, on the lands of the Tkʼemlúps te Secwépemc First Nation.[73][74] The remains were located with the assistance of a ground-penetrating radar specialist and Tk’emlups te Secwepemc Chief Rosanne Casimir wrote that the deaths were believed to have been undocumented and that work was underway to determine if related records were held at the Royal British Columbia Museum.

    As of summer 2022, no identified gravesites have been excavated nor have any human remains been exhumed.


    So the graves are there. The remains are there.
    They just haven't dug them up.

    There are no bodies found, because there was no excavation.
    Your source "“it is not yet clear whether the continuing work on the Kamloops site will involve excavation."

    I am not sure why this thread was even posted other than to try to misinformation. All residential schools in Canada had students who died of natural causes and so all of them had a grave yard.

    There are no bodies, because nothing was found in the excavation...lol

    Alleged mass grave of indigenous children at Catholic schools across Canada contains NO BODIES, excavation shows - as experts suggest it's proof the stories were fabricated

    You think burning all those churches was justified?

    JUST ANOTHER HATE HOAX FROM THE LEFT: Canada’s Mass Graves Narrative That Sparked Church Burnings Crumbles Amid Dearth Of Evidence.

    https://archive.ph/pDeST

    First the lies:

    'It was the motivating myth behind the torching of churches and the toppling of statues, but is it true?
    The public was informed in the summer of 2021 that a mass grave of Native American children had been discovered near the grounds of the Kamloops Indian Residential School, a Catholic boarding school that forced the assimilation of Native American youth.'

    The Lying New York Times Whipped Up The Hate And Violence With Yellow Journalism.

    'But no bodies had been recovered. Instead, the conclusion that the remains of 215 children — some as young as three — had been buried at the site was substantiated only by what the New York Times referred to as “ground-penetrating radar.”
    The ordeal was seized upon by those quoted in the New York Times as “a horrible, horrible history,” a “national tragedy,” and a revelation of “a dark and painful chapter in our country’s history.”'

    Lying Fake News WaPo jumped with false claims of '751 unmarked graves' at a single school.

    Black Face 'Justin Trudeau' wrung his hands over Canada's guilt and wore a costume of repentance.

    The Violent Leftwing Militias unleashed and unopposed wave of terrorism against churches.

    'A whopping 55 Canadian churches were the targets of vandalism or arson in the month following the first report. Of the sum, 21 churches had been lit on fire, with several (primarily Catholic) churches being burnt to the ground. Only one arrest was made in connection to the attacks. Other scenes were reminiscent of the Black Lives Matter riots just a year earlier in the United States, with statues of Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth falling prey to protesters in Winnipeg.'

    'Prime Minister Trudeau: “I understand the anger that’s out there against the federal government, against institutions like the Catholic church. It is real and it is fully understandable given the shameful history.”

    'Executive director of the British Columbia Civil Liberties Association Harsha Walia encouraged the anti-Christian arson attacks in a tweet that read “Burn it all down.” The organization’s board released a statement celebrating her work on “equity, diversity, and inclusion.”

    Burn down all the churches is celebrated as "diversity, equity, and inclusion.'

    'Despite the lack of evidence for mass graves of Native American children at residential schools, those who’ve questioned the claims have been blasted as “denialists.” '

    And a Federal Justice Minister argued for criminalizing 'denialism'. In the end, mass grave lies are no more true than Russian Collusion.

    Your source:
    But until last week, there hadn’t been any excavations in the alleged burial spots. There still have been no excavations at Kamloops nor any dates set for any such work to commence.
