OTTAWA -- Standing before a room of nearly 200 Indigenous delegates at the Vatican, Pope Francis apologized Friday for the Roman Catholic Church's role in residential schools.
The Pope said he felt shame and sorrow that Catholics caused such profound harm, adding he will come to Canada, possibly in the summer. It would make him the second pontiff to do so.-- Pope John Paul II becomes the first pontiff to visit Canada. He spent 12 days touring the country, touching down in Quebec City and travelling through most of the provinces and on to Yellowknife.
He delivered an address to his "Aboriginal brothers and sisters," and met with national Indigenous leaders. He also expressed support for their rights to self-government.-- The pontiff made his final trip to Canada to attend World Youth Day in Toronto. John Paul II spent six days in and around Ontario's capital that July. Canadian bishops say more than 80,000 people came to a mass he delivered at Downsview Park.
