Maybe that was the problem. We all know what loving and caring for kids means when it comes to the Catholic church...loving, caring, respectful environment, facilitated by the Catholic Church

It wasn’t a Catholic Church thing. It was more of Western Civilization thing. The goal was to “civilize” the native population. The Catholic Church was just the conduit.
We had one of those residential schools in the city where I grew up. Until recently, I had no idea it had anything to do with the Catholic Church. But I knew why they existed.
