I like blaming Catholics because it helps me feel less culpable for the actions of my government and the current levels of squalor that I have allowed indigenous Canadians to live in. Otherwise I might have to face the actions of our government and the lack of accountability we/they have shown when it comes to indigenous well being. It also allows me to continue to ignore the issue and just blame the big bad Catholics. Especially the nuns. But especially the priests.
A boogeyman, or boogeymen, if you will.
