[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

Since neither Pope John Paul II, a native of Poland, nor any of the living Catholic heirs of the Bourbon or Capetian dynasties had anything to do with the trials and executions in the 14th-century, asking them to offer an "apology" is a little absurd. It would be like asking Prince Charles, Queen Elizabeth, or Tony Blair to "apologize" for the outrages and terrorism of Henry VIII and Oliver Cromwell.

Interesting article though...

EXCELLENT idea! Or if not apologize, at least allow the appropriate tarnishing of their images in history lessons . . . ;)

Actually they are asking for a apology from the Catholic Church as a whole not individual members.
