The Vatican was horrified. 4:23 Letter after letter arrived from Rome 4:25 demanding the colonists stop polluting 4:27 French blood with indigenous marriages.
This is a blatant lie. Catholicism isn't and historically wasn't racist. Where Catholic states have been racist, this has been a question of political or social convenience or prejudice, out of touch with Catholic dogma.
Two very different things could be totally true, however.
1) Settlers not waiting till the Miqmaq fiancée was a baptised Catholic. A marriage with an unbaptised person is automatically invalid.
2) Settlers who had left wives in France and preferred getting a new one rather than wait till the wife could afford getting over to Acadie too.
The latter would be rarer, if at all occurring, France would hardly have encouraged married men to leave their wives.
The 6:32 Catholic Church kept meticulous records 6:34 of pure French marriages, but 6:36 conveniently failed to record marriages 6:37 with converted Mikmach women.
If this is true of the Catholic clergy in place, it is very surprising, but especially it is not a policy coming from the Vatican, but from Gallican clergy, tending to independence from Rome.
7:41 "we record them as French, to avoid scandal"
Ah, this means, in clear, that the clergy was locally adapting to the prejudice back in France.
13:13 "In Louisiana ... they faced discriminations as foreign Catholics in Spanish territory"
Louisiana wasn't Spanish territory. Discrimination might be due to accent or being less like homeland France than typical Louisiana society, but unless the original text included Florida (which was Spanish), it doesn't add up.

- Louisiana was a Spanish territory between 1762 and 1803.

It was founded by French (as a colony) and it was sold by Napoleon, as Emperor of the French to the US, so, I always presumed, it had been French all this time ...
My bad, I suppose ...
Looking up 1762 and finding:
November 13 – In the Treaty of Fontainebleau, Louis XV secretly cedes Louisiana (New France) to Charles III of Spain to compensate his ally for territorial losses to Britain.
Looking up the latter, yes, it was a secret in 1762, and then finally revealed in the full open in 1769 (a disclosure in 1764 having been met with a rebellion, so in 1769, after it was quenched, it was settled ...).
OK, you always happen to learn sth. I did today, thank you!
The church was 15:13 literally trying to erase the culture it 15:15 had once worked to preserve.
Again, this is a calculation from local clergy, not an order from Rome.
The Acadian story isn't just about 16:05 one small population in Eastern Canada. 16:07 It's about how peoples emerge, evolve, 16:10 and endure.
It's also a case study of genetic bottlenecks, you mentioned the genetic disease Retinitis pigmentosa hitting one in 27 of a subgroup, against one in 4000 generally.
The bottleneck only increased the frequency after the mutation already existed, didn't cause it.
The genetic bottleneck after Eden and after Mountains of Armenia would have been less deleterious, because there were as yet fewer mutations. In each case it was resolved into a few more bottlenecks that were less bottlenecked, because they could intermarry.
Thank you for making a point about Young Earth Creationism!
