In the 1940s, burials at the Kawaiha'o Church cemetary were dug up and removed to their Mo'ili'ili cemetaru property without knowledge of the families.    Many couldn't find their kupuna and 'ohana burials at Kawaiaha'o Cemetary.   The Church later sold their Mo'ili'ili property to developers and again dug up ALL the buried  na iwi remains there, HAD THE NA IWI CREMATED, and again reburied in a MASS GRAVE inconspicuously within the Kawaiaha'o Church cemetary.

Cremation of the bodies of the dead contradicts what was established i8n the Christian Church from the onset.  Historically, religion reveals that cremation was practiced by religions of satanic, militantly   atheistic character, un-Christian and opposed to the Church.

Cremation becomes a public statement of irreligion and materialism contrary to spiritual values.  It is considered an un-civilized, barbarous custom opposed to the respect and piety that one must have for our dead.  It is a written and unwritten law in Christian countries.

December 8, 1869, International Congress of Freemasons imposed on all its members that it's their duty to wipe out Christianity from the face of the earth.   Cremation was a suitable means to this end to gradually undermine the faith of the people regarding the resurrection of the body and ever-lasting life.  The "pagan" custom of cremation was then revived in 12 January 1870, 1886, 1892, and 3 May 1897 as state3d by historians. 

Freemasonry had a diabolical hatred of the creation of God, veneration of the deceased; thus, the custom of cremation introduced by atheist and enemies of the Christian churches.  Masonic Lodges strove to popularize cremation.  To Christians, cemetaries were considered as dormitories where the dead await for the day of resurrection.  Masons who have pantheistic ideology, take umbrage to this law and in denial of the doctrine of the resurrection of the bodies.

Christians acknowledge the dignity of the human body as the temple of the Holy
Spirit and reverently bury the body.  This is contrary to masons and others who believe the body is a kind of shell which has no importance.  They believe in nothing after death; they are materialists and everyhing ends in death; therefore, it's pointless to pay respect to the body.

They dislike the sight of "sepulchral" monuments because they remind them of death which disturbs their earthly pleasures.  It is used to deny the reality of resurrrection and mock Christianity.

The Manifest Destiny doctrines allowed cremation of non-Christians, non-whites, sub-human beings, pagans; so throwing babies alive in bonfires, dismemberments and atrocities and slavery, w2as acceptable.  Interestingly, Pope Paul VI said, in revoking Canon Law 1203, cremation would be permitted provided that it would not reflect a denial of faith in the resurrection of the body.  Cremation was also acceptable during plagues, war, etc.   Although the pope declared this edict, the Christian churches and people held on to the custom of burial without cremation.

It should be noted that the Hawaiian culture and practices never believed in cremation and believed the mana still remained in the bones even if the soul leaped into the spirit world.  Hawaiians believed in respect for the bodies, reverence and protection for them. 

This is in contrast to the satanic, hypocritical, materialistic, racist Kawaiaha'o WASP Congregationalist Church who consider the native Hawaiian burials as insignificant, irrelevant, non-consequential to the living who could better use the place of these sacred burials for other purposes that benefit the living.

How much is expected of those that lived and died?  Is desecration of their remains less worthy of respect and honor?  Should All cemetaries be destroyed and used for the living to enjoy their earthly pleasures and disregard their spirittual values as Rev. Kekuna of Kawaiaha'o Congregational WASP Church declares?
