Roman Catholics will benefit by taking time to learn more about Indigenous spirituality, the head of the Archdiocese of Winnipeg says.
“It can help us deepen our own faith,” said Archbishop Murray Chatlain. “It can help us ask better questions about what we believe.”
Chatlain was responding to news that the Portage la Prairie School Division upheld a decision to reject a Roman Catholic family’s request for a religious exemption from activities related to Indigenous spirituality. Portage la Prairie is part of the Archdiocese of Winnipeg.
