TOXIC PEOPLE AND TOXIC ORGANIZATIONS: Example – the Catholic Church

This is an essay written by my friend Dwyane James Mitchell who has had his experiences with the Catholic Church. It also applies to psychopaths and narcissists – many of which inhabit the Catholic Church and other organizations and political parties: 

QUESTION: ---- What is a toxic person, and / or a toxic organization? 

ANSWER: ---- A toxic person / organization is someone or some group, who brings negativity into your life and / or the lives of others. They are draining. They make the people feel bad about themselves, and they are simply not good for a person's over all mental health. 

Common characteristics to be aware of when you are dealing with toxic people and / or organizations. They: 
1.) Are in constant need of attention. 
2.) Are manipulative. 
3.) Demand that you accommodate them, and their organization. 
4.) Like to play the role of the victim. 
5.) Do not like to listen to you, but rather, they want you to listen to them. 6.) Drama follows them wherever they go. 
7.) Never apologize and / or own up to their own actions and / or mistakes. 8.) Play mind games with you. 
9.) Try to control you, and your perceptions of reality and situations. 
10.) Do not respect your time, and / or you as a person. 
11.) Demand that you accommodate them 24 / 7 / 365. 
12.) Use money to control you. 
13.) Like to bring you down when you are happy. 
14.) Are bullies. 
15.) Push their beliefs on to you. 
16.) Expect loyalty, but are not loyal themselves. 
17.) Are judgmental and critical. 
18.) Guilt trip you. 
19.) Are very negative. 

CONCLUSION: ---- This describes the Criminal Catholic Church, and the Catholic Clergy.

Pope to apologize to Canadian indigenous peoples

How does one apologize for the unforgivable? Pope Francis will visit a handful of First Nations communities in Canada, during which he is expected to personally atone for abuses. The full text of the suggested apology crafted by the National Indian Residential School Circle of Survivors is below: "On behalf of the Catholic Church, I acknowledge and accept responsibility for the grave harms that were caused by our participation with Canada, in implementing Canada’s Indian Residential School assimilation policy. In its implementation of Canada’s assimilation policy, the Catholic Church adopted practices and procedures designed to prohibit First Nation, Métis and Inuit children from speaking their languages, practicing their cultures and learning about their rights by separating them from their families and communities. Most children in the care and control of the Catholic Church Indian Residential Schools endured malnutrition, neglect, trauma and substandard education. Many died under questionable circumstances, many from diseases, especially tuberculosis, which disproportionately infected children at Indian Residential Schools due to negligence by our Catholic Church employees. Many of these children were buried in unmarked graves at the school sites and their parents were not notified of their deaths and never given the opportunity to bring their children home for proper burial. Other children suffered physical abuse, psychological abuse, spiritual abuse and sexual abuse by Catholic Church caregivers and other Indian Residential School employees. When these abusers were exposed, the Catholic Church failed to report them to the proper authorities, and instead, transferred them to other schools. The belief underlying the policy of assimilation was that First Nations, Métis and Inuit cultures and spiritual beliefs were inferior to that of Europeans. This Eurocentric view can be traced to the Papal Bulls of 1455 and 1493, when my predecessors, of those times, denied all sovereignty to non-Christian First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples. In implementing the Papal Bulls, the colonizers seized all property, claimed ownership of “discovered” “new” lands, and enslaved and eliminated all the original owners of the land, which history confirms were First Nations people. The Catholic Church now acknowledges that the consequences of its participation in implementing Canada’s assimilation policy upon First Nations, Métis and Inuit children were profoundly damaging and had a lasting impact on First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples and their communities. The Catholic Church accepts that its role in Canada’s assimilation policy which removed children from their homes in order to separate them from their families and communities with the objective of destroying their languages, traditions and cultures was wrong, and I apologize. In moving towards a better, more productive and respectful relationship, I commit the Catholic Church to support the co-development of processes with First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples for the renunciation of the Doctrine of Discovery, reparations, restitution, repatriation, and real conciliation and the reconciliation of their respective rights. On behalf of the Catholic Church, I apologize for the role it played in carrying out Canada’s policy of assimilation through its Indian Residential School system. On behalf of the Catholic Church, I extend my profound remorse and sincere apology to each and every survivor, your families and communities. I humbly ask for your forgiveness.” This is what he should say but will he say it? Up to now he only apologices for “a number of Catholics” who were abusers when in fact it is the whole institution.
