How about putting some money where your mouth is and pay the indigenous people some $$$$ reparations from the stolen gold Catholic Churches from the native lands....

Ultimately it’s the government that sanctioned these atrocities, these schools would not have existed if the government didn’t permit them. Having a religious figure across the ocean that has no political power over Canada does very little to make up for the genocide that was committed. It’s the government of Canada that has to pay tangible reparations to the victims, a few sorrys just isn’t going to cut it.
