Maybe you should go to the next Lac Ste Anne pilgrimage and tell the thousands of Indigenous Catholics gathered that they’re indoctrinated dupes living a sham. No doubt they’ll welcome a white man dispelling their ignorance.

I'd like to see a non-church source for this one please. They just gleefully and willingly abandoned their traditional beliefs for Christianity, because it was better? More relatable? Please provide reasons why these natives would have discarded their existing belief system without any influence?
