Reply to comment by joaommx in Canada House of Commons unanimously agrees to describe residential schools as genocide by shpydar

I never said that they're synonyms, just that the Catholic religion is a somewhat unusual phrasing, which seems to distance Catholics from the umbrella of Christianity. I'll be equally puzzled if people talk about the Sunni religion instead of Islam.

It's not, albeit Catholic church would be more correct. But it is entirely appropriate in this context given the overwhelming majority of residential schools were managed by it.
