Catholic Criminality Backfires as one Woman takes on Goliath
A Breaking News Update

Religion allows the unthinking to do the unthinkable. – H.L. Mencken
Last Saturday, a group of serial killers in Mission, B.C. held a celebration on the graves of their victims, thanks to the local city council.
It’s a funny thing about churches, especially Catholic ones. Their members, especially the guys in robes and funny hats, all have a Stay Out of Jail Free Pass. They can rape and kill generations of people not in their club and get away with it, especially if those Others are brown skinned and children.
Of course, in their hubris and delight at being above the law, the Papist Perpetrators tend to do rather stupid and crass things: like, in this case, holding one of their peculiar rituals on top of the bones of the children they killed. But hell, this is Canaduh: who’s going to care, right?
Wrong. Last Saturday, when the St. Joseph parish (perish?) did a religious service at the site of their former ‘Indian residential school’ in Heritage Park, one of the survivors of that killing zone said no. She wrote to the Mission City Council and raised a stink.
Her name is Jennifer Johnson and she’s a local Sto:lo native.
Jennifer’s August 18 letter to the Mayor and city councilors spat fire. It read in part,
As an indigenous woman and a citizen of Mission, I am disgusted that the roman catholic church, that killed so many of our children and got away with their crime, was allowed by you to hold a service today on the unmarked graves of their little victims in Heritage Park ... If your government does not prevent such travesties against our people by the catholic church, we will have no alternative but to stop them ourselves. Why do you think so many catholic churches have been burned to the ground in recent years? ... If the catholics try another such travesty at the park, our people will be there in force.
Well, Jennifer’s epistle jolted the normally sluggish city councilors like a cattle prod on a native child’s penis. The municipal politicians jumped into their spin doctoring mode quicker than you can say “Hide the evidence!”
Mayor Paul Horn quickly shot back a letter to Jennifer claiming ignorance about everything and promising to “get back” to her. Meanwhile, according to our sources, Horn got on the phone to the local ab-original puppets at the Mission Band Council and pleaded with them to quickly red-wash and bury the whole messy issue of dead brown kids at the park. And serving the same master as Mr. Horn, the local Apples obliged.
So far, so predictable. But meanwhile, over on stage left, some other natives who aren’t on the government tit got wind of Jennifer’s action and climbed on board. Their group is planning to occupy the Heritage Park to protect the children’s graves and to seize the St. Joseph church building “as reparations for centuries of Catholic genocide”.
But the fun doesn’t stop there. One of those rare beings, an actual investigative journalist, has caught wind of the fracas. Her name is Sarah Webster, and this week she has gone after the Mayor and the local catholics like Bob Woodward on steroids.
“You can smell a rat the moment politicians start lying,” Sarah remarks. “Mayor Horn tried fobbing me off first by saying nothing, then by saying that the city never authorized the catholics to use the park. Then he contradicted himself by saying they did authorize it, but he wasn’t aware of it. Meanwhile, the catholic parish won’t return my calls. But their priests have told their members not to talk to reporters and to be on guard for ‘Indian protesters’ who, apparently, ‘are being monitored by the police.’”
And what about Jennifer Johnson, who started this whirlwind like a latter-day Rosa Parks? She’s an elderly but feisty woman who lost two sisters and three cousins in the death camp deceptively called the Mission Indian residential school.
“A priest named Murphy beat my little sister Elaine to death because she kept crying,” Jennifer told me. “That night he and another guy threw Elaine’s body into a hole near our girl’s dormitory. When I saw their church doing their stupid ceremony on top of where they buried her, it made me sick, thinking how those killers got away with it. So, I knew I had to do something about it.”
By the way, the priest in question, Cornelius Murphy, died in bed in the spring of 2000. He has a very pretty headstone not far from where he shoved Elaine Johnson into the ground. At least, it was pretty, until yesterday, when someone poured blood on it.
I know at least one murdered Indian who is smiling right now: my friend William Combes, who also suffered at Murphy’s hands as a child. Before he was killed in February 2011 for blowing the whistle on ‘royal’ abductions of children at the Kamloops and Mission death camps, William walked with me on the grounds of the latter.
“Brother Murphy buried lots of kids in there,” he said as he pointed to the ravine east of Heritage Park that served as an overflow body dumping ground. “He loved to beat us with his club until we got knocked out or died. He killed my brother Ernie that way. I hope Murphy is burning in hell.”
Fortunately, judgement has not had to wait until the afterlife to descend on the child killers in robes in Mission, B.C. Today we learned that an indigenous caravan across the province is assembling to support local natives' efforts to seize and reclaim Heritage Park and local catholic churches. And catholic archbishop Michael Miller, a notorious member of the child-swapping Vancouver Club, has ordered a total media ban on the Mission fracas.
This David and Goliath struggle continues. Whether Jennifer Johnson will carry on the fight or go the way of most opponents of Church and State depends on you and me; not later, but right now.
