Pope Francis’s apology for residential schools in Canada triggers strong reactions | Nightline 

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.

This may not be perfect but it's been a good step in the right direction. For an 85 yr. old man in his condition to make such a long trip says a lot in itself. He's made a good effort.

I could care less about his apology. There was RITUAL and SEXUAL ABUSE.

It is a small step for the church abuse went far beyond canda. This happened in Ireland Germany America and so many more countries. Its a culture that has not been forgotten and got the time or recognition so that people can start to heal. Rip to anyone who died due to the abuse in the catholic church and I am in aww to those who have survived. Hopefully you all can in time see change and heading 🙏 this comes from Ireland 🇮🇪

After reading and watching in documentaries what those poor families went through from 1880’s until the 90’s! 90’s!!!! Is absolutely horrific!!! An apology is the least the pope and church could have done.

An apology wouldn't bring the death or wipe away the pain and suffering. But it's a good start of healing and acknowledging that these people of God are not always good.

How could these atrocities have continued in this last century and most did not know. Unbelievable!

Always be clear and remember that church is not god. It’s an institution only. Priests are sinners

Can Trudeau now apologize for forcing vaccines on Canadians and resign now?

Show them the money. But no the Rich Catholic Church expects Canadians to pay for the compensation. FACT.

The Pope should also apologize to Ireland and the US for all the cultures they destroyed in order to push their religion.within the countries. Apologize also for all the hypocrisy they pushed.

The Church has to do a lot of apologizing these days Between this and the Holacast and the sexual abuse it’s really unbelievable Nobody is a Saint

Pope said, so sorry we get caught.

Britain killed 4 million Indians in Bengal in 1943 by imposing a famine

He did it!! We waited very long time for a Pope like him! 🙌👏🏻🙏

I am Native American and I am a practicing Catholic. My great-grandparents and grandparents and great uncles went to residential schools. I am happy that Pope Francis did this. I am sorry for what my family and other families went through, but the mercy of Christ triumphs all. I encourage anyone who is interested to learn more about Catholicism's first Native saint Kateri Tekakwitha too.

You just think how many lives .. have been ruined because of these characters hide behind the church to do the crime

Not enough and too late

READ OR UTUBE THE SPANISH INQUISITION

An inmense work of healing has to be done in all of Canada!

Not your fault Frances. You’re taking a hit for what history has done and you’re a hero in my eyes. ❤️ we must set things right. Im praying for you. I will help you if you need help.

"Healing is not only us - it is not only the indigenous community that has to heal. It has to be the church as well. Healing has to come on both sides." Profound.

most people that went to residential school wont hear this apology… rip

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

It's to late! So many children have suffered an are dade. This is true murder!😭

God's going to judge him. Let us not. Peace be with you 🙏

It’s to late the damage has already been done

And people wonder why people are leaving the catholic church in droves.

Words are just that, mere words. Sad, this is all we expect from their ancestors.

"Evil, need not be committed only by demonic monsters but by morons and imbeciles as well, especially if, as we see in our own day, their deeds are sanctioned by religious authority." - Hannah Arendt (Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil)

An apology by the pope is very strong and a step to the right direction, He Who apologizes is better than that who doesn't offer any apology

This is a fool’s game. Nothing will ever be enough. We learn from history not to repeat it, that’s it.

Greetings from Moscow 🇷🇺 I mount my videos and put yours in the background so that it won't be boring to work

The pope apologizing is a waste of time in my opinion. All this happened well before he was even alive. Also as horrible as it was nothing will bring back these children. So all this apology is smoke and mirrors

The Catholic church did the same with the Azteca tribes in Latin America.

This why im atheist these Christians full of hatred

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.

A tiny step, with countless more that need to happen next.

He’s not sorry , he’s shopping for more little children 👶🏻 💯👿👍🏻

This pope talks about reconciliation and how sorry he is but every rime he speaks its in spiritual imagery that has no practical value to the natives sitting before him. Where is the plan to address their concerns...apologies may be welcome BUT ARE NOT ENOUGH!!!!

say it like it is, thousands upon thousands or traumatized dead children

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

An apology is not enough. I think that those schools need to be restored for tourists to see and never forget. The land surrounding the schools need to be converted into a cemetery. And the Catholic church needs to pay for the renovations.

there is no innocence on either side: In 1649, Brébeuf and another missionary were captured when an Iroquois raid took over a Huron village (referred to in French as St. Louis). Together with Huron captives, the missionaries were ritually tortured and killed on 16 March 1649. Brébeuf was beatified in 1925 and among eight Jesuit missionaries canonized as saints in the Catholic Church in 1930.[ Maybe the Indigenous leaders owe an apology???? Two years later and still no bodies exhumed?????? An Australian and America news outlet is calling this the biggest fake news story in Canadian history!!!!!

Decent coverage too.

Peace ✌

Indegineous people want reconciliation? Sounds like code for more money. Nothing anyone says or does will bring back these children so get over it

The Romish Church now presents a fair front to the world, covering with apologies her record of horrible cruelties. She has clothed herself in Christ-like garments; but she is unchanged. Every principle of popery that existed in past ages exists today. The doctrines devised in the darkest ages are still held. Let none deceive themselves. The popery that Protestants are now so ready to honor is the same that ruled the world in the days of the Reformation, when men of God stood up, at the peril of their lives, to expose her iniquity. She possesses the same pride and arrogant assumption that lorded it over kings and princes, and claimed the prerogatives of God. Her spirit is no less cruel and despotic now than when she crushed out human liberty, and slew the saints of the Most High.” (Great Controversy, p. 570 1888).

There are no Saints at all

What additional comfort can be extended to families who lost family members?? John 8:44. Luke 17:3,4

Their only thoughts are " when we gonna get that free undeserved payday from the Vatican?"

They say "Christianization" should have said Catholicization

Seriously, is the point of Christianity to spread hope and love, or is it just there to spread fear and sadness?

they have been doing this EVERYWHERE for centuries.

How can we Except a apology when we too committed Suffering to our own kind more then 300 years ago .

African Americans can relate.

All in the name of religion

Esta peregrinación debería de continuar asta llegar a sur america. De otra forma será solo un show político.

Words mean nothing if actions are not attached to them. Expose the pedos and child abusers that are still alive instead of ignoring them and continuing to hide what they did

"And he (Collection of Papal clergy priests) deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs ( Catholic Antichrist miracles ) which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast (Antichristendom Papal Antichrist kingdom) telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast (image is idol (also image represents moral image of the worshippers in that they have been shaped into the image of an idol spiritually blind and spiritually cannot hear like an idol cannot see or hear) which is the Eucharist/Mass Wafer they believe through transubstantiation the bread literally becomes Jesus they turned bread into the worst idol of the ages. This is THE Abomination of Desolation spoken of by Daniel and Jesus in Matthew 24. 70AD destruction was a type of desolation but not THE Abomination of Desolation. Notice how Jesus uses the word THE basically he's alluding to the worst idol of the ages which is the Eucharist Mass Wafer) who was wounded by the sword and lived. (Rome wounded when it became Christian empire it was healed when paganism was revived under Roman Catholicism)" The word APOSTATE in the Greek equals the number of the beast and APOSTATE is a name of a person and aka name of name of the beast. Specifically people would fall away from the true pristine church and embrace the doctrine of demons which includes the worship of saints, relics and sepluchres (e.g Church of the Holy Sepulchre) and (accept Antichrist idolatry that is setup in their heart so Antichrist spiritually rules from within the idolator's temple (their physical body). Thessalonians talks about the Great APOSTASY where people will become APOSTATE --- Revelation 13:14 NKJV

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

Geez look at the faces of the nuns in the photos. Were they sure they werent the evil ones?

Unfortunately, no, it won’t erase anything that happened on those years, but it is so good and nice Pope Francisco gave the apology needed if I can say it this way, please consider it, take it into your heart, The Pope is the church and he represents every one of us Catholics. I, catholic, am very super sorry for what happened on those years to those little ones, and ask our indigenous brothers and sisters to forget and forgive. Now if you want money, ask for it and I am sorry to say this. Because I think The Pope visit it counts and it counts a lot, be nice with him.

Decades? You mean a century and a bit more.

The ills of the past are insurmountable

Us People claim to be strong People and CANADA isn't going to undo all what they have done. We are all impacted by boarding schools in one format or another but the church is trying to move forward in a better direction and maybe this is the time to be as strong as we claim and start our healing. And showing how our kids how to over things that our people experienced. NIITSTIITAPII

The Pope is a humble man and he did apologize on behalf of some Christians that did wrong in the past. Now if they don’t want to accept the apology is up to them. God save the Pope!

Everybody needs to get over their sales number one number two it's not the pontiff of the Pope it's not his at what rageous fear I mean don't y'all worship sun god well that's Egypt but don't you worship somebody the wind or this or that you don't even worship Jesus really indigenous people and this comes from somebody who is got Indian in their blood

5:46 what is that thing he's wearing?

Narcissist: Does whatever he wants, apologizes for it later.

He don't mean it

Apologize my foot 👟👟

😥

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.

it looks like some of them were from Papua New Guinea

🙏🙏😔😔♥️♥️

Apparently, nothing to apologies about.

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.

Miséricorde au séminaire St Antoine des franciscains de trois riviere s honneur à ste Elisabeth de Hongrie et à ste Cécile de valleyfield

I am the LORD Jesus Christ. I've returned in My Native form, in My second coming. I approve of Pope Francis' apologies. I am asking First Nations, Native Americans to accept My leadership.

Was it a curse?

The devil knows who we are the red man can’t take history from the lord’s people 👊🏾

It's something - finally.

Sanction the vatican

my neural monitorings being archived as multimedia scripture, youre finished

O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people. Quran 5:51

Disgusting...God is outraged!!!

Pope Francis is acting like prime minister of india.

As horrible as atrocities at those schools. I don’t believe it was genocide I. The sense we know it. Genocide is ethnic cleansing like Holocaust. It was more a case of extreme physical abuse resulting in tragic death. Despite these sadistic animals i their goal was harsh discipline, but went to far, and many died. But if it kept happening and these people knew those children died and buried them, yes I think it would be genocide because filled with hate. I would love to know why these priests and nuns aside from sexual abuse were so mean. Opus Dei? Where you inflict harsh punishment, upbringing in home, where did this meaness come from. I had two nun teachers in school who were mean. One hit my hand with a ruler other made me stand in the closet. Thank God I just went to school and went home. Those poor kids lived there round the clock! Where was their kindness empathy and compassion. ? Love to see a documentary on this on strict catholic upbringing, why priests and nuns go into service, though many really are sincere, devout and kind, no blemishes. Do these mean clerics go in because they can’t face life? Or are forced this service by family, mental illness, etc. Not excusing horrors of what they did, just would like to under stand psychologically their minds. I hope W5, 60 minutes delve into that. Not just sexual and physical abuses, but why? The causes, etc.

El falso profeta pidiendo perdón por algo que Nunca hizo la iglesia.

Wow , hi I'm poop Francis I apologize for abuse n neglect of your native people. There i feel all warm fuzzy n better now. Don't you too

2:23

Pienso que es muy bueno que haya perdido perdon

You are being deceived. He apologized for Christians. Christians pray to God thru Jesus. Not Mary. You are being deceived.

Apology, jail to those still around & show me the 💰. The devil where's white👺💀☠. 😎

Revelation 18:1-4

hammer heads
