Prime Minister Justin Trudeau urged Pope Francis to apologize for the torture of indigenous children in the Catholic Church-run schools in Canada.
In the early 19th century, about 1.5 million children of Canadian indigenous people were brought to government-run residential schools. They were completely disconnected from their cultural heritage and language. The Catholic Church operated these schools for more than a century, although the Canadian government financed schools. Many of these schools were subjected to physical and se.... abuse.The Canadian Truth and Reconciliation Commission said in 2015 that cultural massacre was done by separating the children of indigenous children from their parents and culture. The Commission made 94 recommendations including the Pope's formal apology.After meeting with the Pope on Monday, Prime Minister Trudeau said-"I have told him how important he is going forward to the Canadians through the real coordination of indigenous people (Pope)''. I have highlighted how he can help with apology.
