The Catholic Church needs to be held accountable for these crimes against humanity committed by the church.
What about the British ?
@particlesinspace your whataboutism does not excuse your Church that is riddled with a history of genocidal, pedophilic violence perpetrated upon the most vulnerable within it’s charge.
The Catholic Church is a crime against humanity.
@Marshmellafella I do not excuse the church at all, let me be clear on that, I’m talking about the Anglo-saxon dudes who committed genocide all around the globe. The Christian missionaries and priests, and as you rightly call them pedophiles, are always right along side to get a piece of the action.
@Yukon Striker see how what works I’m not banned. The church should be though.
Lets take our wealth back from these corrupt religious institutions that don’t pay any taxes but cause harm.
@RodsAndAxes Tax exemptions, private school subsidies… All should be abolished.
Hellow Church pay taxes too. in every country the regulation are different.
@Anna Florentinayet you are commenting on a video where bodies hundreds of children were found in buried in a Catholic run residential school in Canada…
@Marshmellafella They aren’t private schools, they’re Catholic schools. And the separate schools in Ontario are superior to the public schools. So all you want to do is destroy for revenge WITHOUT even knowing the details of what happened.
Called by any other name, other than a religious organization the Catholic Church would have been long ago dismantled. Dismantled for the atrocities and horrors it has perpetrated against it’s own flock, and those unfortunate enough to be forced under it’s ‘care’.
“Thoughts and prayers” aren’t cuttin’ it these days.
No but money will thats whats a wrong with the world today
@Ken Coumbs Money gets things done. Goodwill without action does not. What’s hard about that to understand?
Not when children are concerned. I want proverbial blood.
he’s bleeding poor pope is so hard for himself
more thoughts and prayers. I am sure this is what Jesus would not have wanted. funny how the public have more moral and ethics than than the pope.
Allow an official investigation and release records… these words mean nothing without action.
What records? All records have been released, and most are in a museum. If there are any more records, the church doesn’t know about them. An investigation is already taking place.
@thefly373 apparently not all the documents were released. There is still so much to do.
@Izabela How do we know that? Just because Trudeau said so? He literally knows nothing, and would say anything.
Apparently he or the previous pope apologized about the residential schools some years ago when he visited Bolivia!
We had to hear about that on the news.
oh, and I failed to mention it was pope Ratzinger who delivered the apology.
Did Bolivia have residential schools too?
I gave my CATECHISM of being a slave of The Roman Catholic better yet I used it for my late night reminiscing of how happy to be alive to share my horrific nightmares but I am truly happy to be celebrating 60 years old next let the chips fall
Nobody cares about his pain. Produce all the records from all the schools, that would start to show you care.
Those records were destroyed after the deaths of the children. The church has been doing stuff like this long enough to know enough to cover up their own crimes.
Catholic Church doesn’t have those records, the Canadian government does.
The catholic priests have a history of known crimes to humanity. Smh
All the religions have a history crimes to humanity no only Catholic
Historically and up to this date !
I think you mean Humans have a history of known Crimes against Humanity. Where ever humans exist, there are such crimes.
Don’t be an alter boy …
@Canadian Nomad Don’t be a futilitarian
So when is he going to do his next vanishing act again on live air?
The demons have no empathy or emotions
“pain”? …….all I can say is Tax the churches.
Pope Francis seems to have forgotten what “mea culpa” means….
He knows exactly what it means, that’s why he won’t say it.
😲the bloody RCC. They have a very long history of abuse and bloodshed.
He felt the pain of truth coming out. Hope he has paid enough to “ buy” the heaven ! !
Revelation 17-18. The harlot who spilled the blood of the holy ones.
This is not just a Canadian situation, where ever the Catholic Church went throughout history, the resident populations have been abused.
Not just Catholics. All religions. Terrible
He is “pained” – but not enough for the Church to feel remorse for the Doctrine of Discovery, Dum Diversas and Pontifex Romanus that lead to all of this ?!
