The Pope has arrived in Edmonton, Canada, planning to apologize for the Catholic Church’s participation for more than a century in a Canadian government campaign suppressing the language and culture of indigenous peoples. @marcusmoore reports from Canada. https://t.co/dD3a6MLPSV pic.twitter.com/4jqQrlwJX1

Reporting from Ermineskin Cree Nation for international media. I say it like it is & will not sugar coat the atrocities the Catholic Church perpetuated against Indigenous children. Yes, I called it “the evils of the Catholic Church” on world media. This is reckoning. pic.twitter.com/UffoW6vpWZ

The world is watching. So let it be known that genocide was committed against babies & children here in Canada by the state & churches, the majority player being the Catholic Church. Truth needs to be known far & wide. That’s why @Pontifex is here- for penance. Reckon & heal.

“Some 150,000 Indigenous children were taken from their families and forced to attend in an effort to isolate them from the influence of their homes, Native languages and cultures and assimilate them into Canada’s Christian society.” https://t.co/K6vhCqqIHc
