Pope voices sorrow over residential school deaths but doesn’t apologize

VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis on Sunday expressed sorrow over the discovery in Canada of the remains of 215 Indigenous students of church-run boarding schools but didn’t offer the apology sought by the Canadian prime minister.

Francis, in remarks to faithful gathered in St. Peter’s Square, called on political and church authorities to work to shed light on what he called “this sad affair” and to foster healing.

No apology? Is it possible the Pope gets what the aboriginals don’t?

That Justin and his paid media are whipping this story into a froth to deflect from his sorry record.
