We intend to append to the Cathedral door or external furniture a copy of a renewed Summons to the Pope to appear before the International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State, 4th April 2011.
This will be delivered to the Vatican Embassy for transmission to the Pope the following day, 11th October. We will also be leafleting the congregation as they emerge from Mass. Press and media have been informed.
For the benefit of any as yet unaware of Rev. Kevin Annett, he is, or rather was a United Church Minister from Vancouver, Canada but was thrown out of his church in the mid 1990s for allowing native Indians to join the services and extending them pastoral care.
Since then he has been leading a crusade to expose the genocide of the Indian population of Canada and in particular the ‘disappearance’/death of some 50,000 native children in residential schools and hospitals funded by the Canadian government but run by the United, Anglican and Catholic Churches.
From late 19th century onwards native children were snatched from their families and communities to be ‘educated’ in these horrendous institutions where they suffered all manner of abuse including rape, Nazi-style brain and germ-warfare experiments and continual mental and physical torture. Although some survived against all odds many did not. Mass graves have come to light in 28 locations.
The Catholic Church has been fully complicit in both these hideous atrocities and in the cover-up that has gone on ever since. 80% of the Indian residential schools were run by the Catholic church. As well as being thrown out of his church Kevin has suffered all kinds of other persecutions including threats on his life.
