'The Roman Catholic Church spent millions of dollars that were supposed to go to residential school survivors on lawyers, administration, a private fundraising company and unapproved loans, according to documents obtained by CBC News.
The documents include a host of other revelations. They appear to contradict the Catholic Church's public claims about money paid to survivors...
...None of the other churches involved in the landmark Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement of 2005 — Anglican, United and Presbyterian — engaged in any of these practices. They all paid the full amounts agreed to years ago without incident.
The Catholic Church never ended up having to legally justify its activity. On the eve of the 2015 hearing on the matter, Saskatchewan Court of Queen's Bench Justice Neil Gabrielson approved the church's controversial buyout proposal, and the case was closed.'

That's shocking, no wonder advocates for the survivors are disgusted.
Do you think the Catholic Church should be held accountable for their alleged failure to pay out the full amounts agreed to?
