Canada Says Pope's Apology to Indigenous Not Enough
“Apologies for the role that the Roman Catholic Church, as an institution, played in the mistreatment on the spiritual, cultural, emotional, physical and sexual abuse that Indigenous children suffered in residential schools run by the church,” Trudeau said.
Trudeau implied that much more needed to be done by the church, and that while Francis’ visit had “an enormous impact” on survivors, it was but a first step. A senior Canadian government official said Trudeau typically delivers remarks during visits by foreign leaders and that it was important for him to address Canadians during Francis’ visit “particularly given the importance of the matter.” It was, however, added in at the last minute.
Echoing criticism from some school survivors, Miller noted that Francis didn’t mention sexual abuse in his list of abuses endured by Indigenous children in the schools. Francis on Monday listed instead physical, verbal, psychological and spiritual abuse. In addition, Miller noted that Francis spoke of “evil” committed by individual Christians “but not the Catholic Church as an institution.”
