IIRC, there was a priest who pointed out to attackers that his church was full of the folks that needed killing, or something, and they murdered everyone in his church, over a hundred people, hacked to death.

I thought I was older when he was in power, but I guess not.

Good point. He is showing a false sense of humility over the transgressions of a small number of low-level priests and nuns. He should be weeping over all the protestants who were burned at the stake and the Jews who were killed in Catholic instigated pogroms.

Jorge “Francis” Bergoglio? A sniveling, Marxist, punk.

That the pope apologized for. And last I checked he was the church.

Had he only kept his mouth shut, that would be at least two of us that never knew about it.

This is nothing new. The RCC in Rwanda apologized for this back in 2014 as well. And yes ... some members of the Church had a hand in the massacres. More than 2,000 people had sought shelter in Saint Famille, Rwandas largest Catholic church. Later, many were handed over to the killers
by one of the parish priests, who witnesses said colluded with the Hutu militias.
Shameful that this happened, but I see no need for Pope Francis to revisit this seeing that the Church in Rwanda had already apologized for what some of its members did.

How about cutting loose some of that trillion dollars you are sitting on?The majority of the Church's so-called "wealth" is tied up in real estate and in art work. These assets are "public wealth." They are open for all to visit and see, much like a public museum. The Vatican couldn't even afford to have the Sistine Chapel artwork refurbished. A Japanese company footed the bill for that.

Well if one actually cared as much about refugees as he claims it shouldn’t be too hard to liquidate a few billion.

Most likely he is doing it for the same reason Obama went on his apology tour apologizing for everything the Marxists accused the US of doing whether we did it or not. Once the Marxists have an official apology from your “leader” to point at, then you’re guilty, no matter what the facts are- and they have obtained the bludgeon they wanted all along to propagandize the youth, without actually having to win an argument with reason.

It’s Africa being Africa. The Catholic Church had no role.
