Pope visits Canada to apologise to indigenous communities

Vatican, July 24 (UNI) Pope Francis left Rome on Sunday for a week-long trip to Canada where he will apologise for the Catholic Church's role in the abuse of Canadian indigenous children in residential schools.
A week ahead of his scheduled trip, the Pope said that he will be undertaking a "penitential pilgrimage" to Canada, in the hopes of contributing to the "process of healing and reconciliation with the country's indigenous peoples," the Vatican said.
He said, "Unfortunately, in Canada, many Christians, including some members of religious institutes, have contributed to the policies of cultural assimilation that, in the past, have severely harmed indigenous communities in various ways."
