Pope Francis Visits Canada To Meet With Indigenous Communities

QUEBEC, CANADA - JULY 26: Visitors sit on top of the stone walls that are part of the Fortifications of Quebec, ramparts that circle the old part of the city and date back to the 17th century, on July 26, 2022 in Quebec, Canada. Pope Francis will be in Quebec this week as part of his week-long “pilgrimage of penance,” which includes meeting with and apologizing to Indigenous communities for the abuse at Catholic-run residential schools, where more than 150,000 indigenous children were forcibly enrolled for more than 100 years. Called a “cultural genocide” by the Canadian Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the school system was created to isolate Indigenous children from their own native culture and religion in order to assimilate them into the dominant Christian culture.
