Reveal identity of 27 priests who committed sexual abuse in Canada

In a statement made by the Canadian Jesuits, it was stated that while the names of 27 priests were released, it was “shameful” that the priests were guilty of sexual abuse.

The statement noted that these exploits had been committed since 1950.

In his statement, Pastor Erik Oland, leader of the Canadian Jesuits, said that in the last 30 to 40 years it has been revealed that pastors have been abused for generations and the Catholic Church has been slow to respond.

Oland said three of the 27 surviving priests were fired.

Noting that Canadian Jesuits have been taking steps since the 1990s to address the reality of sexual harassment, Oland said a roadmap has been determined for the prevention of sexual harassment and abuse that may arise in the future.

Three years ago, Canadian Jesuits and independent auditors launched an investigation into allegations of sexual abuse of minors in Catholic churches. The investigation determined that 27 priests were “guilty on the basis of the evidence.”
It was revealed that priests affiliated with the Christian sect of the Jesuits committed sexual harassment at the Canisius College in Berlin, one of the most respected colleges in Germany. It was later determined that such cases also occurred in some other Jesuit and Catholic affiliated boarding schools.

CULTURAL GENOCIDE WAS MADE

Boarding schools in Canada made history as the places where more than 150,000 Native American children were forcibly separated from their families and cultures to be “integrated” into majority-white dominated communities.

It was claimed that most of these children were subjected to mistreatment, starvation and cold, as well as sexual and physical abuse.

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission was established in Canada in 2008 to uncover the full extent of the tragedy in boarding schools in church schools.

The commission completed its study on church-affiliated boarding schools that operated in the period 1831-1996 in 2015, and a 4,000-page report was published. The commission described the events as “cultural genocide”.

The report in question claims that at least 4,200 indigenous children died in these schools as a result of abuse or neglect.

In Canada, many unofficial children’s graves were found in the gardens of some of the boarding schools under the control of the Catholic Church. (AA)
