Fr. Cristino you are the ray of Jesus's light in the church. Thank you for hearing His Voice and becoming a priest. I have been praying for my indigenous brothers and sisters since the recovery of the burial sites knowing how conflicted they may have felt.

For What I have done and what I have failed to do…mea culpa. Complexity might be the name of the bridge to be built between the stone tools cultures and the dawn of artificial intelligence in one +century. If the options were no bridge (only isolation/indifference) or assimilation/education or perpetual government dependency then what path was most respectful &charitable? Burning churches & systemic calumny directed at people who dedicated lives of humble service with great sufferance and joyful generosity is a national disgrace and a betrayal of truth. As long as there is no evidence of murdered children in mass graves as falsely reported at Kamloops and a silence about the truth then reconciliation is paralyzed.
