<<Canada says pope's apology for abuses at Catholic residential schools
not enough.
The Canadian government made clear Wednesday that Pope Francis' apology
to Indigenous peoples for abuses in the country's church-run residential
schools didn't go far enough, suggesting that re-conciliation over the
fraught history is still very much a work in progress. he official
government reaction came as Francis arrived in Quebec City for meetings
with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Governor General Mary Simon at
her Quebec residence, the hilltop Citadelle fortress, on the second leg
of Francis' week-long visit to Canada. The government's criticisms echo
those of some survivors and concern Francis' omission of any reference
to the sexual abuse suffered by Indigenous children in the schools, as
well-as his original reluctance to name the Catholic Church as an in-stitution
bearing responsibility. Francis has said he is on a <penitential
pilgrimage> to atone for the church's role in the residential school
system, in which generations of Indigenous children were forcibly
removed from their homes and forced to attend church-run,
government-funded boarding schools to assimilate them into Christian,
Canadian society. The Canadian government has said physical and sexual
abuse were rampant at the schools, with students beaten for speaking
their native languages.
....
Francis noted that the school system was <promoted by the govern-mental
authorities at the time> as part of a policy of assimilation and
enfranchisement. But responding to criticism, he added that <local
Catholic institutions had a part> in implementing that policy.
Indigenous peoples have long demanded that the pope assume
responsibility not just for abuses committed by individual Catholic
priests and religious orders, but for the Catholic Church's
institutional support of the assimilation policy and the papacy's 15th
century religious justification for European colonial expansion to
spread Christianity. Trudeau, a Catholic whose father, Pierre Trudeau,
was prime minister while the last residential schools were in operation,
insisted that the Catholic Church as an institution bore blame and
needed to do more to atone. Speaking before Francis, he noted that
Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission in 2015 had called for a
papal apology to be delivered on Canadian soil, but that Francis' visit
<would not have been possible without the courage and perseverance> of
survivors of First Nations, Inuit and Metis who travelled to the Vatican
last spring to press their case for an apology. <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. The Canadian government has apologized for
its role in the school legacy. Former Prime Minister Stephen Harper
issued a formal apology over the residential schools in Parliament in
2008, calling them a sad chapter in Canadian history and saying the
policy of forced assimilation caused great harm. As part of a settlement
of a lawsuit involving the government, churches and the approximately
90,000 surviving students, Canada paid reparations that amounted to
billions of dollars being transferred to Indigenous communities. The
Catholic Church, for its part, has paid over $50 million and intends to
add $30 million more over the next five years. 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.>>
