Described as"penitential pilgrimage", he will meet indigenous peoples who suffered attempts to erase their culture, especially in residential schools which were run by the Catholic Church.
For more than a century, an estimated 150,000 First Nations, Inuit, and Métis children were subjected to spiritual, emotional, physical, and sexual abuse in Catholic run residential schools. In 2009, National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations Phil Fontaine, four other Aboriginal leaders, and five leaders from the Roman Catholic community in Canada travelled to Rome for a private audience with Pope Benedict XVI.While some survivors welcomed the statement, many said the lack of a clear apology from the Vatican was evidence that the Catholic Church had not come to terms with its own wrongdoing in residential schools.
The statement also addressed those who were abused as children by church clergy - acknowledging they had suffered grievously. For this, Pope Benedict said he was"truly sorry". Like mother-and-baby homes in Ireland, burial records from the time were poor but the federal government has since been called upon to establish a national framework for investigation and protection of burial sites, consistent with the rights, laws, jurisdiction and protocols of the affected nations.
All in the name of the sky fairy and a billion euro scam.
Words are cheap reparations cost
Hopefully, he will tell Trudeau to smarten up….stop playing little Fidel…no more blackface…cos-play…etc…
A fine tuned publicity event financed by Canadian tax dollars.
Will he be meeting indigenous Irish people who suffered attempts to erase their culture and are still suffering from that under globalism?
When is the pope coming to Ireland to meet the indigenous people before their culture is erased by mass immigration and multiculturalism.
