Anthea Butler: Americans hurt by Jesuit institutions deserve an apology, at the very least.
As I wrote recently in regard to the pope’s visit to Canada, an in-person apology — or any type of apology — is merely the first step in a complex process of generational healing. And even so, we need more. As I said, “Reparations for the physical and mental abuse generations of First Nation families suffered in these Catholic residential schools must not only be promised but actually paid, even though no amount of money is sufficient.
I’m sure if there was an official explanation for his not coming to Canada with Pope Francis it would likely include the fact that Sosa was celebrating the mass for the Feast of St. Ignatius, founder of the order, on July 31 in Loyola, Spain, right after the pope’s Canada visit; it's an important day for the Jesuits, marking the 500-year anniversary of the order.
