The Pontiff, speaking in Italian, asked for God\u0027s forgiveness for the deplorable conduct of members of the Catholic Church
The Pontiff, speaking in Italian, asked for God’s forgiveness for the deplorable conduct of members of the Catholic Church.
Each of the groups had told the Pope in meetings earlier this week that they hoped he would apologize for the Roman Catholic Church’s role in the institutions in Canada. A date has not been set for the trip, but delegates said it could be as soon as this summer. Around 190 people, including delegates, family and supporters, gathered to share spiritual practices and hear the Pope’s words during the final address.
Some members had expressed their apprehension and anxiety prior to the final meeting with the Pope because they were unsure they’d get the apology they had worked so hard for.
