Dismay of Pope’s refusal to apologize for residential schools

Ontario Regional Chief Isadore Day, expressed dismay at Pope Francis unexplainable refusal to apologize to residential school survivors and their families.

Pope Francis stated that he cannot personally issue an apology to residential school survivors and their families for the role the Roman Catholic Church played in the operation of the schools and abuses inflicted upon students.

It clearly seems like a strategically timed position of denial and ignorance by the Church to make such a brash statement, said Day, alluding to the celebration of Easter.
The Truth and Reconciliation Commission stated that there can be no reconciliation if there is no recognition of truth, explained Day.

The Pope’s refusal to apologize must come as a revelation to Canadians, as well as all Catholics, that the world’s most powerful and influential religious institution, has failed enormously in upholding basic morals and values, added Day
