  1. Thoughts and Prayers are all well and good
    but Talk is Cheap
    What actual reparations is the Church going to make ? !

  2. He is apologizing for those sinners who did this to all of these people. Be thankful he did. He himself had nothing to do with what happened. An apology is an apology and you decide whether you take it and move on or continue living in misery.

  3. The Roman church is obviously not the one and only true church!

  4. The Pope isn't from Canada. How is his apology means anything??

  5. It's well documented that Romans/Greeks are from the bloodline of Esau, they're our enemies. We so-called Native Americans come from the bloodline of Jacob(Israel) PROOF- Artifacts 1 Chief Joseph's Assyrian Tablet 2 Newark Holy Stones 3 Los Lunas Mystery Stone 4 Baal Stone in New Hampshire 5 Sherbrooke Stones in Quebec. Numbers 15:38: proves the Israelites wore fringes/ribbons and Exodus 28:33: shows they wore bells.

  6. We are sorry and regret that these schools existed and the things that happened where so dark and the history of slavery and all out dark history, it’s not good to keep looking in the past and need to look forward, and not hold it over everyone any longer we need to move forward everyone should have the same rights pay the same taxes we are all Canadian let’s look eye to eye

  7. Misrepresentation of history. So tired of this fake news nonsense.

  8. Soon he'll be leaving and we can clean up after his stench.

  9. Why do Abrahamic religions preach hate and intolerance to other human beings followers of non Abrahamic religions?
    Why do even Abrahamic religions fight among themselves? After all for Abrahamic religions followers there is only one god and one holy book. Unfortunately, the one god has spoken to different prophets and they started the version of the true Abrahamic religion as spoken by the god. So now we have a different ONE book that is the true word of the god. And this different ONE book has hundreds of denominations.
    God that's too confusing now…😳😳😳😳

  10. Mere apologize 😤😤😤😤
    A special team should be formed to investigate the systematic abuse of the children, the systematic emotional torture of the family members, for the homicide of the kids and racialism by the church and by the Canadian government and let law take its own course and give retribution to the affected families and for the whole indigenous people of Canada.

  11. Well I doubt reconciliation is coming to the US anytime soon, you are a country that just stripped the rights of women to make health decisions and what is next? Indigenous rights and all human rights in America seem headed for the trash!

  12. The pope, unlike the Canadian government, will not be blackmailed into providing $$$,: He is apparently aware, haven been told (after the apology question came up 5-6 years ago) that despite the billions given to FN bands and chiefs by Ottawa(most of it unaudited, as FN leaders say that is another act of racism….. lol) the common, poor indigenous in Canada are no further ahead. So no, blocking rail lines, bridges, roads golf courses etc etc, won't move the pope….money can only help if spent on healing…..throwing up fistful of dollars, and telling people they have no right to ask how it is spent, only works in Canada (not USA..certainly not Italy.

  13. more lies, more apologies for nothing. Their parents were glue,meth alcoholics, their children were running around naked in the cold, child services saved the childrens lives. Lets spin the narrative. The graves are empty.

  14. The pope done went full woke. You never go full woke

  15. If only pple knew that this ain't a church

  16. this is like the scene in transformers where optimus prime destroys sam's house and replies with "oh my bad"

  17. Apologizing in this is not enough. Lost words. Healing has to come from both sides.. yes it should be.

  18. But he won’t apologize on behalf of the church because of “the church can do no wrong”. A step in the right direction but doesn’t address the reality of the situation, nor does it bring back the people lost to the evil of the church. Peoples spirituality should be respected but no belief or action should be regarded unfalsifiable on this basis. Controversial statement I know but so were Galileo’s discoveries which the church forced him to recant by threat of imprisonment, torture and execution.

  19. Damn its hard not to hate yt people.

  20. Child Abuse Child molestation, Child Murder… Dedicates massive resources and influence to save and protect “unborn children”. Oh, priests rape nuns and force them to have abortions. The church has also stolen and human trafficked children. These are good people.

  21. So stupid even after years of asking for something from the church finally they get an apology then they just throw it in his face. Yes it was wrong but you people get money, a lot of money for something that you didn’t go through or even work for!! You think the brutality that Hispanic people went through deserves an apology?!? You get money, and apology! If you people are so mad GIVE BACK THE CHECK YOU GET EVERY MONTH! Your proud right? Well for years you have spent that check every month without regard, right? It’s a step ypu don’t have to accept it but to say this BS to him shows exactly who you people are! Give back the check you receive every month, but you won’t will you? Learn to humble and forgiveness. Bot one person alive did this to anyone alive today! You get money, such bullshit couse all ypu men are drunks and wife beaters! Ok maybe 78% not all- it starts somewhere and he started it- be humble and move on-

  22. Not only did the church did wrong but Canada tired to ignore the tragedy afterwards. I hope this event shed more light and even towards the Indigenous people on America's soil.

  23. What they did to the Tribe of Gad, ONE of the 12 Tribes of Israel,(Genesis 49),and will not end the way they think. No amounts of apologies will stop what God will do to those who have enslaved and slaughtered the 12 Tribes of Israel.(Joel 3:2, Revelation 13:10, Jeremiah 30:16, Obadiah 1:18, Isaiah 14:1-2)..These nations will ALL be called upon to STAND TRIAL BEFORE GOD TO ANSWER FOR THESE ATROCITIES!! NO SIN GO UNPUNISHED!!
    Furthermore, dont TRUST these "apologies,"(Psalms 83), they are meaningless, and is a trick for something else..wait and see.

  24. Of course the sex abuse was not mentioned. It’s the church. They’ll sweep that one under the rug.

  25. You know what's sad the Catholic church has been doing this sort of thing since it became a political party under emperor Constantine they took pagans and Christians and put them to death because they didn't convert to there religion and then somehow people still follow this mystery of iniquity. In revelations it talks about the great harlot that rides the beast. The harlot represents a church that has taken God's religion and turn it into a satanic worship and when you add stuff like praying to Mary and saint worship you are taking away from the glory of God and you change the religion. Just food for thought to any who are actually interested

  26. Take your cult back home.

  27. The first black Christians wer made at the end of a wip now it's style monkey see monkey do 💩

  28. People will be kicking themselves in few week's If they miss The Opportunity Too Buy and Invest In Bitcoin as It retracing…..BE WISE..

  29. Burn them at the stake bullers

  30. The catholic church is pure evil

  31. Pope is to judge if he is the expert on the Bible and christianity. If he doesn't know, how would anyone else know, then wats the pt of being Christian.

  32. The Church has been asked by Indigenous groups from all around the world, multiple times to rescind & renounce the 1400's Papal Bulls that form the race driven, Doctrines of Discovery & eventually became Manifest Destiny in the US. The Doctrine of Discovery gave the Christian Europeans the moral authority to plunder all non-Christian nations. The African slave trade, the genocide of Indigenous people of the Western Hemisphere & Australia are direct results.

    While those edicts remain in place, his apologies ring hollow, though I'm glad my 1st Nations brothers & sisters get some closure.

  33. Healing? Yeah, I'm not even Catholic and I wouldn't apologize for something I had nothing to do with. Yeah, I'm sure the mob who benefit today from all that was done in the past will really start to "heal"………..wait for the reparations talk to flair up 😂

  34. What crap. All of the tribes fought among each other. Like Arab Unity it is a myth.

  35. Strong reactions – like utter disgust for this Marxist stooge.
    When is the Pope going to China to get an apology for the enslavement of the Uyghurs ? When will the Pope talk to Uyghurs who survived the concentration camps ?
    Never, and never. Leftists don't care about doing what's right – they only care about looking "noble" while pushing their propaganda.
