Our daughter who marriedd to a native from this community informed us that she had to reject sending her children from several Catholic schools in Saskatoon because they do Smudging . Smudging is a revived or newly reinvented pagan practice. Christian Indians in the main reject this . The ever gullible Saskatoon “sensitive “ Catholic elite promote this . Southend , Reindeer Lake reject it completely as do many Northern communities. Of course Our Lady of the North School will have nothing to do with neo-pagan practices . We have publicly spoken against the witchcraft permeating in the monopoly Northern Lights Schools. The Bible says that the gods of the pagans are devils.
We are at presently reading the life of Father deSmet who brought the Gospel to the Rocky Mountains in America. The native tribes desperately wanted the Black Robes . They travelled to St.Louis, Missouri at least eight times to beg for priests. When they heard the Gospel they immediately embraced Christianity including Christian chastity and marriage of one spouse for life. Fr. de Smet often mentions Canadians who lived among the tribes and had already taught them much of Christianity. Christianity flourished in Canada two hundred years before reaching the West Coast Indians. Marriage between Catholic whites and Catholic Indians was very common and very beneficial to evangelizing. These people were not called First Nations or Metis . They were called Canadians.
Laura Keras , an elder from Surrey, B.C. who recently passed away decried this invented “ Native Religion. “. She would say that they are always coming up with something new and calling it “ Traditional Religion.” She experienced the change to the life giving Christianity from the darkness of paganism. Her grandfather lived in a long house with nine wives. Witchcraft was constantly being practised and immorality of all kinds was the norm.
The Game of Perry Bellegarde and other Professional Indians is actually the Religion and Politics of Saul Alinsky. Alinsky was a Communist Political Organiser who targetted Blacks in Chicago to teach them not to improve their lives but to hate. His philosophy was embraced by Commuunist Lester B.Pearson, who formed the Company of Young Canadians which spread the Hate and Division Religion throughout native communities , especially in Saskatchewan. A religion was needed so they could accuse the whiteman of stealing it from them. Ergo the late Ernie Tootoosis and others created “ Native Spirituality.” This is a hodge podge of Christianity, paganism, New Age and pure bull. Or should we call it Baal?
And this is what is being foisted on unsuspecting children, parents and teachers in some Catholic Schools in Saskatoon. Think Again. Catholic Schools have a mandate to teach and practise Catholicism, unadulterated and accurate. Gay.

Smudging: Spiritual Pot
JMJ
Oct.22, 2015
We were at a Knights of Columbus Pancake Breakfast at St. Mary’s on 2Oth St.in Saskatoon. Three generations of pink and brown Caswells occupied one table. There are lots of natives in that area and a lot of Catholic natives. I asked why aren’t many Indians here? They like pancake breakfasts. Every winter carnival has one. The reply was “ When Indians go to St. Mary’s they are shoved off to Our Lady of Guadalupe Centre.” This is a centre run by nuns. Since they do smudging as part of the Mass I never go there for any reason. Philippinoes , Vietnamese, Africans, comfortably fit in with the Poles and Ukrainians at St. Mary’s. Why can’t Indians fit in as well?
The answer is white Native- Studies people and Professional Indians have determined what is native culture and they insist that individual Indians don’t understand what is good for them. Being a victim is okey. Being a drunk panhandling near St. Mary’s is okey. Wanting to be a practising Catholic and an individual is not acceptable. Indians have to be called First Nation aboriginals. Being Joe, Maggie, Mr. Cook. Mrs. Enanew, Angelique, Bella or Obadiah is not enough.
I have been on reserves all over Saskatchewan, have almost always lived in urban and rural native or native- mixed communities. I had never encountered smudging, drumming,praying to four winds , back of the Turtle stuff as part of Protestant, Evangelical, or Catholic worship. Like the residential school debate no public debate was allowed,. Natives who wanted to tell their side of the story on the good of their education were and are treated with disdain, silenced, physically threatened and punished by withdrawal of services.
Natives who know there is such a thing as witchcraft, hexes , curses and know that Christians of all denominations must avoid these things are called, even by some clergy, crazy , ignorant, and not nice. I have even been threatened by excommunication by some Le Pas gurus.
As reported at a Mass there was a week long meeting in which bishops of Saskatchewan decided their priorities. It was decided that the number one priority is to incorporate “ native spirituality” into worship. Actually the meeting was totally unnecessary. Catholic priority is already defined in the end of St. Matthew when Jesus says “ Go into all the world and preach the Gospel.” Pushing neo-paganism on a group of people isn’t even on the list. There are two kinds of spirituality. Judeo-Christian spirituality and demonic spirituality. If you are a Christian you want to practise Christian spirituality whether you are Arabic, Swahili, or Eskimo. If you are not a Christian you are influenced by demonic spirituality whether you want to be or not.
Saskatoon has more crime than any city in Canada. Northern Saskatchewan has more crime per capita than any other area in Canada. New- Age- with- Feathers just isn’t cutting it as a moral basis for life. It is very much like a marijuana culture. That includes indifference, irrationality, disdain and contempt for others, lack of compassion and inability to make logical or moral decisions. When people use marijuana they don’t see the harm that it is doing them, They think other people are harming them. Clergy and professionals who dabble or promote paganism can’t see what it has done to their Faith, their commitment to Catholicism
Truth and how cruel they are to people, brown or pink coloured who disagree with them. Gay
