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?

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups
Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!
