Canadian church’s new sex scandal after pope apologizes to aboriginals.
A few weeks after the Pope apologized to Canada’s indigenous people for crimes committed in Christian schools in the country, a senior bishop and several other Canadian church officials have been accused of sexual assault.
Shortly after Pope Francis, the leader of the world Catholics, visited Canada and apologized to the natives, his appointed senior bishop in this country was accused of sexual abuse.
According to the “Daily Beast” newspaper, Canadian senior bishop Mark Oulette, who accompanied the pope on his recent visit to this country, was accused of sexual assault by his assistant, who was a 23-year-old girl in 2008.
This charge is part of two serious cases filed by 193 victims of sexual abuse against 116 members of the “Brothers of Christian Schools of Francophone Canada”. Currently, these cases are handled by a Quebec judge.
Ault’s assistant described him as “the most important person in this case”. According to his complaint, Olett harassed her at the “Sisters Charity” dinner in Beauport, Quebec, and this happened while the two had only met each other a few times before that. .
According to this Canadian woman, two years later in 2010, when she was 25 years old, she was sexually assaulted again by this archbishop, and he was not the only one who had such problems with him.
The Daily Beast writes that the plaintiff in this case, before joining the wave of lawsuits against more than a hundred Canadian church officials, had informed the Pope personally of this issue in a letter, but this effort was futile.
On August 8 this year, Pope Francis admitted to reporters during his visit to Canada that the killing of indigenous children in Canada was “genocide”.
The leader of the world Catholics told reporters on his plane: “I did not use this word (during my trip to Canada) because it did not come to my mind, but I described the word genocide, and I (from God) for this process, which was genocide. I asked for forgiveness”.
Pope Francis’ visit to Canada comes almost a year after the first major discovery of a mass grave of indigenous children in Canada. For the first time, on May 29, 2021 (8th June 1400), the bodies of at least 215 indigenous children, some of whom were about three years old, were discovered in the grounds of a former boarding school in British Columbia province. Then on June 26, the bodies of 751 innocent Aboriginal children were discovered near the Marival Indian Boarding School in Saskatchewan.
