The Pope: Holy Sadness
from Apologies Accepted Hosted by Apologies Accepted
He's the Pope and he's pretty important. His word is law so when he says something there is no argument. Also when he doesn't say something it's pretty important, so when the Pope didn't apologize for 215 unmarked graves found at a Catholic school in Canada...words kind of fail us here but they didn't fail the Pope! He expressed sorrow and sadness and is filled with sympathy. And there's some good news! Now the church can be forgiven by Canada's indigenous people because that's one of the great powers of faith - mercy! And since he's the Pope, that's kind of the last word on the subject. Or is it? A 10 million dollar grant from the Canadian government and a network of First Nation Peoples ready to dig up the past will decide how quickly forgiveness and mercy will be coming.
