Catholic Church and Cancel Culture
Residential schools were cancel culture. Cancel indigenous culture in order to steal the land. The modus operandi was two-pronged, the gun and the bible.
The Catholic Church and other European religious sects brainwashed Africans and other indigenous people with the bible, the so-called good book. They were told to turn the other cheek, when someone slapped them, but settlers did not practise what they preached.
For example, when Hitler was wrecking havoc in Poland, Europe did not take it lying down. African men - British subjects - were huddled into ships to help the Queen’s war effort by emptying chamber pots of British soldiers.
The bible is a dangerous instrument because it has always justified murder with the intention to invade foreign lands. The church taught conquered people that material things like land were not important, because glory awaits in heaven.
Priests told the ‘heathens’ to close their eyes and pray. When they opened them, England, France and Spain had title deeds to land. PRIVATE LAND TRESPASSERS WILL BE PROSECUTED signs were planted, where local people used to hunt and celebrate indigenous life.
Catholic, Anglican and Protestant churches knew that land is precious because they came from small poor countries. Indigenous people did not. They believed that rivers, forests, and berries belonged to everybody, not one person.
That is what made them ‘savages’ that were clueless about wealth creation. That is why they had to be civilized, cancel their languages, their culture and their gods.
That is where residential schools came in, to scrub out the ‘indianess.’ The bleaching happened in Africa, Asia and Pacific Islands. I have an English name to show that my parents were ‘civilized.’ Prince Charles and his sons have their names, that denotes their race and country.
The bible claims that human beings are made in the image of god, but the church is an accomplice to on-going hatred for First Nations, just because they are the original owners of this land, Canada.
The recent discovery of graves of 215 kids in a former residential school in Kamloops British Columbia, is proof of that. Did they die at the same time? How did they die? We’ll never know.
What we know is that they were born ‘Indian’ and the Catholic Church wanted to cancel that, ‘civilize’ them in order to steal their land.
