Pope Francis will travel to Canada Sunday, kicking off a week-long trip he has described as “a penitential pilgrimage” that will include a formal apology to Native Americans on behalf of the church and a meeting with Prime Minister Trudeau.
Mr. Trudeau and others called for such an apology tour in June 2021, following the discovery of apparent mass graves for nearly 1,000 children on the grounds of two Catholic residential schools for Native Americans.
“I have spoken personally directly with His Holiness Pope Francis to press upon him how important it is not just that he makes an apology but that he makes an apology to indigenous Canadians on Canadian soil,” Mr. Trudeau told the press at the time. Francis apologized to representatives of native groups at the Vatican in April of this year.
No exhumations have occurred at the schools, and some scholars doubt the findings of the ground-penetrating radar technique that uncovered the ground disturbances identified. Meanwhile, Mr. Trudeau, himself at least nominally Catholic, characterized a spate of arsons against Catholic churches in Canada as “understandable” in remarks putatively denouncing the crimes.
However laudable the Holy Father’s commitment to conciliation may be, two questions come to mind...

Current Leaders(LOL) thinking they apologize for the past are NUTS
These kids got sick and died. We have a separate section in our cemetery for children...people that didn't know where they would be down the road.
Sounds like one big guess to me.
The ImPopester does his best to advance the New World Order.
There is no evidence of mass graves

These claims of mass graves are just conjecture until actual digging is done.
“Native Americans”?? Not in Canada. They go by “First Nations” up there.
How culturally insensitive. Author Jude Russo should issue a heartfelt apology immediately.
Burning down churches is “understandable”?
What would he say to burning down abortion centers and government buildings? Now that WOULD be understandable! /spit
He should gravel and then spead his cheeks. It’s terrible that the Church has allowed the faith to fall away from their forefathers this much. And offer up the bishops to the mobs for rejecting humanae vitae. Then come to Chicago and we’ll have it start here with cupich.
The mass graves always existed but they became a very convenient issue for Trudeau ahead of his re-election.
In Trudeau’s first years of office a scandal involving the government giving a sweetheart non-prosecution deal to SNC Lavalin for its bribery in Libya.
Resisting the sweetheart deal for the corrupt business was Trudeau’s Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould of First Nations heritage.
Her father Bill Wilson a First Nations chief who once said something to Pierre Trudeau in the 1980’s about his daughter becoming Prime Minister one day.
This “graves” thing came after that slap in the face to a woman of First Nations heritage.
I smell a rat.
Fidel would be proud. Likely Fidel was responsible for more unmarked graves, as well as actual mass graves, than what Castreau is alleging here.
Who’s going to apologize for Trudeau?
What’s to apologize for? The natives who integrated into American society fared a lot better than those who are stuck on the reservation, with the exception of the casino operators... The Catholic schools were a big part of that integration.
Trudeau going to arrest him and hold a show trial to?
Would be mighty “empowering” for the psycho left.
Not a fan of this Pope, but it appears to be a hoax that there are mass graves in Canada, or, at the least, they have been mischaracterized by radicals.
Maybe it is just a burial ground? Or there was an epidemic? If it is graves ...
The evidence is very shakey, No remains have been found. but it follows the Narrative. White catholic people evil, Indians innocent victims.
Another Fascist Totalitarian supporting Pope?
This will be used by pretty-face trudeau to justify taking millions from Whiteys who had nothing to do with it and sending it to people living today who were not victims of the crimes of the past.
