WE'RE HIRING! CLOSING DATE FOR APPLICATIONS IS 25 th NOVEMBER 2019 gesture that might go some distance towards healing this ancestral wound. And the way I see it: it is more important for this wound to heal, than for the Archbishop to be genuine in trying to heal it. From this perspective, I was relieved to see that so many of the older generation – the ones who, unlike myself, actually lived through those troubled times – seem to have welcomed the gesture, too. Whether this sentiment is widely shared or not, is not for me or my coevals to say. Ultimately, is up to those who were directly affected to decide if the Archbishop is being genuine or not; or to interpret his actions any way they choose. But the younger generation also has a stake in bringing this issue to a close. As do future generations. For they, too, will be affected by the automatic veneer of political prejudice that automatically comes with having been born into a blighted country. Like their predecessors, they too will find themselves auto- matically judged on the basis of political prejudices predat- ing their birth by decades, if not centuries. So, rather than question the Archbishop's motives, I think it would be wiser for us all to question our own prejudices today. There is, after all, a limit to how long this coun- try's children can continue to be held responsible for the sins of their forefathers. Quite frankly, it is a limit that expired years, if not decades ago. Having said all this, it doesn't follow that I would similarly dismiss the authen- ticity of the Archbishop's actions in all other matters. I find it disconcerting that Scicluna would have waited so long, before finally 'doing something' about the public utterances of a clergyman who is only fanning the flames of racial hatred…. in a country where racism has already claimed a man's life. And I could fill entire newspapers with all the things I dislike or disagree with, in the way a hugely influential institution like the Catholic Church wields its power in other areas. But let's try and do what we all (myself included) seem to find so difficult to do, and stick to the issue at hand. I, for one, would like to see an end to this generational po- litical grudge that has caused, and still causes, so much harm. So, if by blessing those graves 50 years after this colossal injustice was perpe- trated, Archbishop Scicluna paves the way to a national discussion about atonement for the sins of the past… then, speaking only for myself, I can only call that a good thing.
