Conflating Unity with Uniformity: Celebrating the Eucharist in the Context of Indigenous-Settler Reconciliation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This article explores some of the complexities of celebrating the eucharist as a sign of reconciliation. In particular, this article focuses on the context of Indigenous-Settler reconciliation in Canada. This context is explored through a visual ethnographic study of two papal rituals during Pope Francis' 2022 penitential visit to Canada. These two rituals are analyzed using the stages of social drama developed by Victor Turner and further developed by Kimberly Belcher. From this analysis, the article demonstrates how the eucharist can inadvertently conflate the unity of the participants with an imposed uniformity. This discussion draws upon the work of Lauren Winner and Susan Reynolds. As a way of conclusion, the article points towards lived solidarity as a potential remedy for the imposition of uniformity.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
