"Researchers in Ottawa have uncovered new evidence to suggest some archival records relating to residential schools in Canada are now only available in Rome, prompting renewed calls for the Vatican to release historic documents that could help piece together what happened to the Indigenous children who were forced to attend the 48 residential schools once run by the Oblates of Mary Immaculate.
"The records that we had looked at here are no longer in this country," said Brenda Macdougall, a professor and research chair in Métis family and community traditions at the University of Ottawa.
"Those records belong to Canada. They belong to the people first and foremost. … They have to come back through subpoena or the church. The Pope himself can suspend canonical law and return them."
Historians also tell CBC they were alarmed to witness some old materials from the Oblates' former headquarters in Ottawa thrown out in a dumpster about seven years ago."
Of course the residential schools and the missing records refer to a system of
schools mostly operated by the Catholic Church in Canada. There has been much
news lately about the many unmarked graves found at some of these sites while
the search continues to document the full extent of what is certainly a crime.
There's much more text and photos at the link. I personally take a cynical view of
religion in general and some religions in particular. I advocate for truth, justice
and healing.
= new reply since forum marked as read
and chilling things I've read concerned religion in general and The Catholic Church in
particular.

with all the morality and ethics one could expect from such.
