Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau asked Pope Francisco to apologize for the role of the Catholic Church in the official kidnapping of 150,000 children of indigenous communities in Canada to "civilize" them.
According to these policies during most of the twentieth century tens of thousands of indigenous children were removed from their families to "re-educate" them in religious schools in different cities of the country.
The Catholic Church, the Anglican Church, the Presbyterian Church, the United Churches and of course the Canadian government were accomplices.
The request was presented by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) at the requirement of the Assembly of First Nations of Canada. Of course, the lands that authorities and settlers stole from the native peoples were not and will not be returned,
