The pope's unproven and casual assertion of a Canadian genocide

On the other side of the paywall is Brian Giesbrecht's terrific piece, which negatively but honestly “eulogizes" Pope Francis, who died on April 21, 2025.

It is followed by my short comment along the same lines to a generally laudatory eulogy by Father Raymond DeSouza.

Still, DeSouza ended his piece with the following observation that applies to many of Pope Francis’ beliefs and actions, that too often sacrificed truth-telling at the altar of myth-making and financial extortion:

How will he [Pope Francis] be remembered? Fondly, but not as one whose passage made a lasting impression. He, more than those before him, gave his judgments to passing things. Passing things pass. The city and the Church move on.
