Pope Francis apologises for Canada residential school harms
Pope Francis apologises for Canada residential school harms

Pope Francis has apologised to a Canadian indigenous delegation for the Catholic Church's role in the country's residential school system.
The schools, operated for more than a century, were run as part of government policy to assimilate indigenous children and destroy their cultures.
The Roman Catholic Church in particular was responsible for operating up to 70% of residential schools.
The Pope said this caused him "pain and shame" and asked for God's forgiveness.

Ok... he's asked for gods forgivness... how nice, now how about paying some compensation to the victims?

God will compensate them with eternal reward in heaven.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

RE: Pope Francis apologises for Canada residential school harms
As far as I see it, Pope only apologized (asked God's forgiveness) for the bad people who molested & tormented kids, but he hasn't apologized for the "cultural genocide" - turning natives into Christians.

Quote:In his apology, Pope Francis said the residential schools caused him "pain and shame" and asked for God's forgiveness.

"For the deplorable behaviour of those members of the Catholic Church, I ask forgiveness from God and I would like to tell you from the bottom of my heart that I am very pained," he said, speaking in Italian at the Vatican. "The content of faith cannot be transmitted in a way contrary to faith itself."

"I join my brother Canadian bishops in apologising," he added.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I'm sure the dead children, and the sexual-assault victims, will feel their torment washed away by the Pope's generous admission.

I have watched a few documentaries about the treatment at the residential schools. A vague 'ooops,sorry about that' from the fucking pope is a slap in the face.
