In this week’s Remnant Underground, Michael Matt discusses Pope Francis’s week-long ‘Pilgrimage of Repentance” to Canada.
Question is: What is Francis apologizing for… exactly? Is the pope who famously said “atheists go to heaven” apologizing for actual abuse of indigenous children, or is this something of a smokescreen for a papal apology for the Catholic Church’s missionary activity, which in Trudeau’s Canada means “racism, colonialism, and cultural repression”?
Michael takes a deep dive into the history of the Residential Schools, the allegations of abuse, and the thing nobody seems willing to talk about: Indigenous Canadians who attended the Residential Schools but who have an entirely different take on what actually happened.
