“The defamatory statements referred to, and would be understood to refer to, each member of the group," it says.The lawsuit names Mironiuk, the Catholic Archdiocese of Edmonton and the Oblate Fathers of Assumption Province as defendants.The Oblate Fathers, in a statement last week, said they are contesting the lawsuit. They said Mironiuk did not intend to cause harm or dismiss the “hurtful reality” for some who attended residential schools.

The lawsuit obtained a victory in Calgary court earlier this week when a judge ruled it can move forward.
