TORONTO -- The pain that residential school survivors and Indigenous communities have been feeling in the wake of the finding of 215 unmarked graves at a former residential school in B.C. is compounded by the continued absence of any formal apology from the Catholic Church, which operated many of the schools across Canada.
“He speaks out on the things that are close to his heart,” Czerny told CTV’s London, U.K. Bureau Chief Paul Workman in Vatican City. “In this case it's the Indigenous people and many people in Canada who feel this very strongly, very deeply. But all of Canada is wounded. All of Canada is hurt.” The Pope’s initial statement has been criticized not only for its lack of apology, but for missing the mark in who it addresses. The Pope stated on Sunday that he wished to express his “closeness to the Canadian people” and thenfrom the colonial model and walk side by side in dialogue, mutual respect and recognition of the rights and cultural values of all the daughters and sons of Canada.”
But he did not provide specifics in terms of what he believes the Church’s responsibility is in this situation. Czerny said it would be “very surprising” if there were direct orders or permission from the Vatican for church officials running the residential schools to dispose of the bodies of children without proper burials or clear records.“There are no human words to say how terrible it is. It's why we were shocked and sorrowful, and the pain is ours, and the pain is shared. I really hope the Holy Father's words reach the people who feel most abandoned.
Stupid, just one word JUSTICE! Who cares what the pope says!
No unmarked graves have been uncovered: 'Researchers used ground-penetrating radar (GPR) to discover anomalies in the ground that preliminary findings identified as burial sites.'
Maybe something like this?:
Shameless !!!
Cool Story. Also, Can you cover the FauciEmails for Canadians? Most Canadians don’t know about it and it isn’t in being talked about in Canadian mainstream media for some weird reason and it’s kinda super important.
I got a couple words for it. Terrorism, murder, assimilation, genocide.
There are no human words? How about: ' we are sorry. We can't do anything but pay reparations, let's sell the Vatican for a start.... '
If it happened there, as a result of the church, how many church run orphanages, in Ontario, are there from that time and, could the church pls confirm all of those children are unstolen & unabused children? 1/
