Residential School Survivors, Catholic Bishops Meet Ahead Of Pope’s Visit To Canada – Jun 1, 2022
Now, bishops are preparing for the impending arrival of Pope Francis, who is expected to apologize for the Roman Catholic Church’s role in operating residential schools.Catholic leaders are seeking donations to help support his visit, including through the sale of what a spokeswoman said will be “modest quantities” of T-shirts, hats and bandanas.
Those lessons, the conference said, prompted it to establish the Indigenous Reconciliation Fund and appoint Indigenous board members to oversee it.The fund, which was registered as a charity in March, is accepting contributions as well as reviewing proposals for where money could go, the conference said.
The archdiocese has set a goal of contributing $2 million over five years, $1.5 million of which it has hit, he said. An estimated 150,000 Indigenous children were forced to attend the government-funded institutions over a century, and the Catholic Church ran about 60 per cent of them. Many children suffered abuse and neglect.
They have a cathedral that needs billions to fix. Only 1.5 billion was raised in the first week of the fire. How can the Catholic church afford to pay for rape and murder of children when they only have old paintings and rare artifacts to ebay.
Not handing money to known creative accounting wizards.
Money is not the answer. Get on with life.
