To think the priests were assaulting and murdering those children to teach them stories like Sodom and Gomorrah and now they're being purged by flame with god's apparent approval.

      The first batch of graves being discovered had led to other locations being checked for the same and lo and behold of fucking course there's mass graves under just about all of them. It went on for over a hundred years and spanned the country. There are gonna be sooooo many more and the blowback will most likely increase. Indigenous people all have relatives that went through that system and either dissapeared themselves or knew plenty who did, but I don't think anyone ever saw it in the terms of the sheer numbers these graves are showing. It put it into a perspective. This is the tip of the iceberg so far as far as bodies go and I'm sure churches will follow suite.

        I just really like the, seemingly, organized nature of it. They saw the proof of the cries of thousands ( tens of? More?) of native people throughout the years come true and the response wasn't to even talk about it, they just said fuck this and burn these down. It is absolutely beautiful.

          Sometimes, justice calls for healing and dialogue. Sometimes, only fire will do.

      At least according to the r/worldnews post about it. OP there hasn't yet linked whatever source they're going off of. I'm looking around for hard numbers but it's evolving so quickly that the articles from June are way outdated and the most recent articles stating how many churches have been involved are right-wing sources that I don't trust.
