It has been a difficult summer for Canada’s Christians. Over five days in late June, four Catholic churches and an Anglican church were burned to the ground, the first churches to be set ablaze or vandalized to begin a summer of such desecration.

This is unquestionably a crisis, but you wouldn’t think it from observing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s response.

Police are investigating whether the suspected arsons are connected to the news that hundreds of children were buried in unmarked graves at government-mandated, church-run Indian residential schools in Canada. The residential schools operated from 1883 to 1996 but were mostly wound down by the 1980s. They were populated by approximately 150,000 indigenous children separated from their parents and—following the progressive orthodoxy of the day—assimilated into Western culture.

It is understandable that some indigenous people feel anger and betrayal over these tragic institutions. The number of estimated remains at gravesites is astounding—more than 1,200 suspected unmarked graves were recently discovered at five former school sites in Western Canada—but it has long been known that there were a large number
