Dear Bishops of Canada, Recently, a radical left-wing politician in Canada put forth a Private Members’ Bill seeking to criminalize “Residential School denialism.” According to the politician, the government of Canada system of boarding schools for Native children that was largely facilitated by the Catholic Church in Canada committed “genocide.” As a result, this person…
Above: the pilgrimage of hope graphic from last year’s trip during the synod. At OnePeterFive, we cover Vatican news on the internet. It’s a source stress for me for a number of reasons.
