ABOARD THE POPE’S FLIGHT: Pope Francis said Canada’s historic system of residential schools for indigenous children, many of which were run by Catholic organizations, represented a form of genocide.
“To take children and change their culture, change their thinking, change their traditions and change a race, let’s say, a whole culture… It’s true, it was genocide,” the Pope told reporters that they were accompanying him on his flight to Rome on Friday night. after six days in Canada.
