Thank you, Dr. Farrow. The repetition of patterns in current treatment of citizens is very concerning. Have shared your essays since being introduced to you by Dr. Kheriaty, who shared ‘Whether There is a Moral Obligation to Disobey the Coercive Mandates’ and the discussion essays of four additional scholars. Take care.
'militantly secularist theocracy'. You say it in three words, you phrase-maker.
I wish I could write like this, or see things and name them with this level of patience, clarity and compassion. DBF you are my example, and model and leader for many I hope.
You are too kind, Sir Knight. But imagine a lower court—in this case, a court very low, relatively speaking—forbidding appeal to a higher court. What nonsense! The legislation, if it is forthcoming, must be altogether ignored. That is the only lawful response.
"the scheme itself had devastating effects for which national repentance was and is requisite."
That seems to me a contentious claim for which nothing remotely like proof has ever been offered (even setting aside the question whether 'national repentance' -- however exactly one conceives that?? -- should ever be rightly regarded as 'requisite'). The entire TRC process was by design directed towards drumming up grievances without any mechanism for questioning or verifying the sometimes ludicrous testimonies it encouraged and blindly recorded. Just like the absurd charade of the fake discovery of 215 graves in Kamloops, which Casimir has continued to lie about, notwithstanding the occasional retreat from the utterly deceitful language of 'graves' to merely misleading 'anomalies.' And what has happened to the 8 million dollars they received to investigate?? I notice you don't mention Hymie Rubinstein here. Maybe there's a reason for that, but he has done a lot of good work discussing the scandalous lies that are being spread about the IRS system.
To take a really simple example of the lies told here: You can't just say, like Fr Bouvette, "children died while at the schools, therefore we are clearly at fault and must apologize for this." That's simply ludicrous logic. You obviously have to investigate context if you are interested in determining fault, and in avoiding baseless slander and scapegoating. Same concerns apply, I think, to Bryce's allegations of 'national crime.' It's just so easy, apparently, to condemn nameless others who were in situations that we know next to nothing about for doing vaguely specified sins (like 'assimilation' or 'not preventing disease and death well enough' -- really? are those sins now?) and then apologize on their behalf. But not so easy for anyone whose conscience is sensitive to sins against the truth and interested in the actual history and actual reconciliation, reconciliation with the truth, regarding past and present dysfunctions among these troubled populations.

I'm glad to see the subject of the mass graves revisited. Here is my original take on the subject.
