Pope Francis said on Wednesday that he felt the pain of survivors of Canada’s residential school system like “slaps” and that the Catholic Church has to face up to its responsibility for institutions that abused children and tried to erase Indigenous cultures.
“I assure you that in these meetings, especially the last one, I had to feel the pain of these people, like slaps, how they lost (so much), how the elderly lost their children and did not know where they ended up, because of this policy of assimilation,” he said in unscripted comments.
The Pope dedicated his talk at his weekly general audience to his trip last week to Canada, where he apologized several times for the church’s role in the government-sanctioned schools, which operated between 1870 and 1996.
More than 150,000 indigenous children were separated from their families and brought to residential schools. Catholic religious orders ran most of the schools under successive Canadian governments’ policy of assimilation.

when I was young, I visited an old orphanage and it was well known that the kids who died there were buried there. Prior to the late 20th century, deaths were common in all age ranges. when you have an institution that is a 100 years old, was it really unlikely to think they would not have cemeteries?
down with the evil
Left relates to right. Up relates to down. God relates to evil. Rocket goes up because flames go down. It is all relative. What is not being revealed, is how most of the world is in the positive. I promise you, pain is involved, beyond anything that could possibly be imagined.
Why wasn't residential schools in the history books in school?
Because there all the same scammy system profiting from something that should be free…
Government should be responsible.
He didn't get out his cheque book before left did he. Just words, that will be forgotten next new cycle.
maybe someone should poke needles into his tongue. Then he might feel how much more insulting and painful that is than a metaphorical slap he got hearing about things like that.
catholic church has zero moral authority on any topic!
Did he hear the PLEASURE when they massacre them. Is silent by the Vatican
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. Step pyramids built by Natives resembles the ones built in Egypt, with Sun worship and serpents engraved on them, and the Tryptech temples built outside of them looking virtually identical. Aba means father in Hebrew which is the exact same word with the exact same meaning in my Native language Tsilhqotin. All native languages have mixtures of Hebrew in them, look it up. The real Christ has dark skin, like our ancestors, which Aztecs called him "Quetzalcoatl" born a virgin/crucified and called the great spirit in Cherokee "Yehowa".
If he only felt a slaps worth of pain when hearing about their ongoing suffering and struggle, then he either wasn’t paying attention or has no guilt. Both are sinful
pff look at all the white washed natives sitting up there with hi,. For context I am native
I’ll show you some slaps mf
Everyone forgets the pandemics of the early 1900's .
Schools and churches were used as quarantine centres and bodies were burned in mass graves to control infections.
There have been over 500 news stories relating to residential schools, why do I get the feeling they will never end? Look native people, no one has a time machine. Time to move on with your lives.
What about the rest of the world.. and the continued child trafficking being conducted under the organization?
Yeah, he heard. But left his wallet at home so the indians are not satisfied.
People are aware that there hasn't been a single corpse found in those "mass graves" right? We need to be rational and look for evidence, not jump to conclusions and attempt a witch hunt. That's how people are sheep. They don't care about the truth or being rational, they follow the crowd who follow the lies.
probably because it was. people needed somebody to blame and the pope was willing to be that
he should come talk to me, see how that feels.
My moshum was so pissed off at him
the church was complicit with the murder of the jews by the nazis. anyone who supports this man and his faith supports genocide
There was literally no investigation. "WhiTe MaN BaD"
Y'all going on like this man's God. Only one God, this man has far too much importance placed on him.
Some history needs to be showcased in these "news" clips. It was the Canadian government that implemented the residential schools, interestingly enough, other than supporting the staff, the Catholic Church had little to do with there creation.
We Filipinos are the future majority of Canada, Canada belongs to us hard working good Catholic Pinoys!
Nobody cares what that pedophile has to say. Why aren't we asking questions about Trudeau's step dad's involvement? Pretty sure he built residential schools.
Hide the kiddies
Yup, you perpetrated evil on indigenous children. Now it’s time you were punished for it.
Why is Trudeau's fathers statues still standing in parts of Ontario? He was PM during the later days of Residential Schools and ignored the reports of abuses. Ontario appears to be celebrating that fact. It just shows how morally and ethically repugnant Liberal voters are. Sick people.
Rome is so rich the pope should help natives that do not have clean water. The pope should help all natives who do not have proper homes etc.
Reading these never ending articles about the evil acts our government have done reminds me of the most recent with the experimental drug mandates. Our government froze bank accounts of people involved in promoting freedom for Canadians. These evil acts from government are still happening.
Minute 1:07 He did not ask for forgiveness in the name of the Church while in Canada
All money that the Vatican gets goes up the elevator to God, so there isn't any for the Native Canadians. The Pope and his band of merry men are corrupt, but I don't think many bible thumpers see it that way. Pray to the Lord no matter what. Pretty sick don't you think.
Can the pope hear the pain & screams of the Children being RAPED by his Pastor's…priests…Bishop's….PROBABLY NOT…..
Slaps? how about kidnapping, rape, murder and genocide. That's how god's love felt for the indigenous survivors.
Someone should have asked the pope why the Catholic priests do not go to prison when they sexually abuse children in their parish. All that happens is that these priests get moved to another parish in another city. The pope's words are meaningless.
Not ONE child’s remains have ever shown or uncovered, We’re being lied to by the best .
THE REAL GOSPEL FOR YOU
It is time to get right with Jesus. You aren’t going to automatically enter into heaven if you have lied or stolen or had premarital sex. Even one of those makes you worthy of hell fire. Don’t deceive yourself! The punishment of sin is hell fire.
Jesus died so you can get a clean slate and forgiveness of a future sin when we confess it. When you start to follow him you have to strive to obey what he commands.
No one will enter heaven without the blood of Jesus over you. No other way but through Jesus.
This pope is a hypocrite
Pierre Trudeau was the only standing prime minister to run the residential schools, after the Canadian gov took them over from the church in1969. He ran them for ten years.
You think dear old dad told little Justin stories about running the genocide schools as he grew up? Bedtime stories from a millionaire childhood.
We literally have a live surviving descendant of a genocidal maniac that we could get to apologize. For starters.
Pay them then. Why are canadians on the hoom for the churches abuse and inhumanity
HAHAHAHAH WAIT TLL YOU SEE YOUR LAKE LOT HAHAHAHAHAHAH SORROW FOR SURE.
What did you expect, a big parade.

Very few people clapping in the audience. Interesting
