VATICAN CITY -- Pope Francis begged forgiveness Friday for the "deplorable" abuses suffered by Indigenous Peoples in Canada's residential schools, saying he was ashamed and indignant at all they had endured at the hands of Catholic leaders.
Francis made the apology and vowed to visit Canada during an audience with dozens of members of the Metis, Inuit and First Nations communities who came to Rome seeking a papal apology and a commitment for the Catholic Church to repair the damage. Francis spoke in Italian and it wasn't immediately clear if the audience understood what he had said, though they stood and applauded after he finished.
Forgiveness not enough. He should open the Church's wallets and they pay , and their compliances, not our taxpayers
He didn't apologize for the role.
Catholic Priests with full access to kids. I can only imagine but to be honest I do not want to imagine.
I always said: wait for redemption. I don't believe in cancel culture
What do you get when u cross a diaper wearer in scarborough ..left right down sneeze cough
Ok Catholic Church ur completely forgiven np don't worry about it.
Don’t apologize, they haven’t for taking all our tax dollars
With apology comes penance and that means jail time for those who hurt kids or aided and abetting the harm or killing of children. In Canada, in South America, in Africa. Justice before prayers.
Did he though?
And so he should. It’s about time!! 😢😢
AnnieClaireBO Not an April fool's joke ?
Oh that’s nice. I guess things are better now.
Start to tax the hell out of the Churches. No more free rides for these corrupt institutions.
Cancel the pope
Does it make any difference?
🧡🧡🧡
There is no amount of apologies or money that will fix this horrendous crime. We are at 93 unmarked grave sites and counting. To rape, and physically and mentally abuse 1000's of children and when they turn sick from the priest's STD's. Oh let them die they figure! Vicious!
Actions speak louder then words...now let's see if they will give back all the indigenous artifacts being held n requested?
For what exactly?
Still wondering why Canada gives tax exemptions to the Church.
Didn’t a Pope already apologize I guess we have short memories. Oh well, wait what was I saying ?
Lawsuit
So are y'all giving back the indigenous artifacts you stole or...?
AprilFoolsDay probably
Oh thank God we can all sleep now that the pope apologized for something that was commonplace throughout history, can't wait for the perpetually victimized segments of society to join us here in 2022 so they can stop living and reliving the 100+y/o past. Canada
🦅
Talk is cheap.
Funny how 'believers' commit alot more sins then everyone else
Does this mean we can have Canada Day this year?
This should have been done years ago lol whats the point now
Everyone does realize that the church was put in that position because of the governments of the time! They should be held to account as well? So pony up JustinTrudeau
Thank you pope Francis for recognizing the horrific misguided actions taken in Kamloops and across the country. It is never to Late to say sorry. As Catholics let’s continue to reach out to the indigenous Canadian people with support,love understanding and heartfelt regret.
That makes it all better 🙄🙄🙄
April Fools right ⁉️
Finally!
This is great news. Now let’s send $5 billion to the victims while canAda should defund all public catholic schools. Let’s fix this wrong and make Canada better and stronger!
He's just a human at the head of a group that believes in fairy tales. He aint shit.
where is the cheque...💵💵💵
Sorry does nothing for my nightterrors, Sorry does nothing for the painful scars that remain on my body, Sorry does nothing for my painful memories. Sorry does nothing for the small things that triggers me and puts me back into HELL.
April fools
Too little too late bud, also… why are people still catholic ? I mean that’s like keep going to a restaurant that everyone knows serves poisoned food. Why? Lol
An historic moment of justice and humility, for the evils against our indigenous families.
Justin Trudeau turn.
Is there closer getting an apology from Pope? Or government officials
I interviewed a residential school survivor on my show Does the apology line up with what her expectations and that if the community were? everychildmatters ResidentialSchools
Ok Justin…you’re up…
They don’t want an apology. They want to get PAID.
