A bankrupt order of priests has agreed to pay $166.1 million to hundreds of Native American and Alaska Natives who were abused at their schools.
The payout by the Society of Jesus, Oregon Province - part of an agreement to resolve its two-year-old bankruptcy case - is the third biggest settlement to date in the Catholic Church's ongoing sexual abuse scandal.
According to lawyers for the victims, it also is the largest ever by a single Catholic religious order.
Victim Clarita Vargas, 51, said: 'It's a day of reckoning and justice.'
Both she and her two sisters were abused by the head of St. Mary's Mission and School, a former Jesuit-run Indian boarding school on the Colville Indian Reservation near Omak, Washington, in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
The abuse began when they were as young as 6 or 7, she said.
'My spirit was wounded, and this makes it feel better.'

It wasn't just the Jesuits. In Canada it was also the United Church. Residential schools for native kids were an abomination. I lived near the one Aangirfan mentions in Kamloops BC. I knew kids in the system. One was a friend of my younger brothers'. He begged me to let him stay with us. How could I? I was 24 and had two kids of my own and was looking after two brothers and two sisters at the time. I still think of that boy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. SO many people wronged by these rats. I always get a dark feeling whenever going past a certain 'special school' near where I live. The only other places I get the same feeling are both times when I was in London (before I knew anything of the nwo etc), and other cities where the occult symbolism is. Hard to explain. I can just feel the evil reverberating.
