基督教天主教多行不義必自斃，不是不報，只是時辰未到！ 為什麼各省仍在資助宗教機構？支持和反對取消安大略省天主教學校資金的案例 本月早些時候，天主教會對在坎盧普斯一所寄宿學校的舊址發現 215 個沒有標記的兒童墳墓的漠不關心，促使許多人認真審視加拿大的稅收去向——主要是該國及其各省是否應該繼續資助特定宗教的學校和醫院。 6 月 24 日星期四，Cowessess First Nation 表示，它在薩斯喀徹溫省一所前寄宿學校的遺址上發現了 751 個沒有標記的墳墓，該學校由羅馬天主教傳教士於 1899 年創立，一直運營到 1996 年。 2021 年 6 月 24 日，星期四，下午 12:04 本月早些時候，天主教會對在坎盧普斯一所寄宿學校的舊址發現 215 個沒有標記的兒童墳墓的漠不關心，促使許多人認真審視加拿大的稅收去向——主要是該國及其各省是否應該繼續資助特定宗教的學校和醫院。 6 月 24 日星期四，Cowessess First Nation 表示，它在薩斯喀徹溫省一所前寄宿學校的遺址上發現了 751 個沒有標記的墳墓，該學校由羅馬天主教傳教士於 1899 年創立，一直運營到 1996 年。 關於天主教機構公眾支持的辯論仍在繼續。 1999 年，聯合國人權委員會 (UNHRC) 宣布安大略省資助天主教學校的政策具有“歧視性”，因為它拒絕向其他宗教學校提供全部資金。僅安大略省就有 37 個天主教學校董事會，該政策仍然有效。 聯合國當時的建議是讓安大略省向其他宗教教派的學校提供資金——或者完全停止對天主教學校的做法 那麼，為什麼我們還沒有做出改變呢？ Why are provinces still funding religion-based institutions? The case for and against defunding Catholic schools in Ontario The Catholic Church's blasé reaction to the discovery of 215 unmarked children's graves at the former site of a residential school in Kamloops earlier this month has prompted many to take a hard look at where Canada's tax dollars go — chiefly, whether the country and its provinces should continue to fund religion-specific schools and hospitals. On Thursday, June 24, the Cowessess First Nation says it has found 751 unmarked graves at the site of a former residential school in Saskatchewan that was founded by Roman Catholic missionaries in 1899 and operated until 1996.

The debate continues about public support of Catholic institutions. In 1999, the United Nations Human Rights Committee (UNHRC) declared Ontario’s policy of funding Catholic schools "discriminatory" as it denies full funding to other religious schools. The policy is very much still in place with 37 Catholic school boards in Ontario alone. The UN suggestion at the time was for Ontario to extend funding to schools of other religious denominations — or end the practice for Catholic schools altogether. So, why haven't we made the change yet? | |
