Utter hubris on the part of the NDP. Even if the entire House voted to support the motion, just how are they going to force a pope to apologize? Really.


It's not about getting an apology. It's about virtue signaling. Also, they probably hope the Liberals, being the government, will vote against it, since it would be highly improper for Canada to pass a resolution calling on the Pope to do anything. That will let them strut around as the most 'sincere' politically correct 'representatives' of natives, you see.

Plus they hate Catholics anyway. Catholics don't believe in the important social justice worker beliefs about things like abortion, gay marriage and transgenderism. Mind you, none of the other major religions do either, but they're mostly non-white so that's okay.

An apology,s the same as an admittion. Therein lies the fukedupedness.

The Pope has not apologized for the dark ages yet.

There is only one reason the Catholic Church won't apologize.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$


I can,t believe that, money and power, no it,s not true, these rumours we hear about the Holy Roman Empire are just anti -semetic balderdashe
How,s it going old fellow. Money can,t buy the love
who or whatever is them, you step out into

I dont, know how you people in big cities can traverse one block without revolt in your head, I can,t, a rural existance trims you that way, no trees no go, a potted tree and a couple of tree

Catholics hate freedom. They're almost as bad as the radical Islamists.

Absolutely hate when those damn Catholics do their Warm Jackets in Winter charity, or raise thousands of pounds of food monthly for the needy and especially the financial charities that they raise from their flocks.

Bastards...

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

There is only one reason that they demand an apology from the Church... $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

There' also only 1 reason that they demand an apology from government.... $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

See the trend?

.. Dontcha think it's a little funny that they don't go out and name the actual priest?... How about the hugely absurd trend in waiting until the perps are dead and gone before the accusation(s) is made?

... Elements of the litigation-lottery are sooooo enshrined in this industry (btw: thanks lawyers) that there is little to no voracity in many of the claims made or judgements rendered at this point.

Last question; Why is it that the Dippers (or indians for that matter) aren't demanding multiple apologies from the Churches representing the Unitarian, Protestant, Baptist or C of E Churches?

.... Kinda funny, dontcha think?

However the ordinaryl law abiding Catholics are very good trusting people and easily harnest to the Roman yoke, lets invade North Africa, Gimme that old time religion

You'll be needing to identify what religion your talking about here... Or followers of pagan Gods.... Or ideologies, cults or helter-skelteresque mindsets.

Say, does Stalin have a cult following?

As one of the globes most prolific murderers and abusers of people, that might be scary

... Just sayin'

It has apologised already. Only the brain dead, like the NDP and the OP's author, don't realize it. Didn't realize you were an NDP supporter.

You hit the nail on the head. It is about putting the Liberals in an uncomfortable seat. The NDP wants the same voters the Liberals have so they need to make them squirm.

You thought wrong.

They all fall under "United Church"

Man, are you dumb!

BTW, the woman who negotiated the apology and multi-million dollar settlement for the Anglican Church back in 1993 is a friend of mine.

The Presbyterians were first. The Catholics will never do so. They only just forgave Galileo a couple of years back. It is beyond them. Sexual abuse is structural to their Church.

Many prominent figures that are long dead remain 'in use' as a source of twisted motivation to many.

.. Satanic cults come to mind regarding abuses visited on people and animals
The Utility of the dead is underestimated for sure, take for instance that Winston Chuchill someone who couldn, t be left allone with preschoolers, but apparently saved Britian, in its darkest hour, that man woud eat a baby


New Brunswick pine and oak supported the British Empier at thier worst

We have too many provinces.

NDP LOL. To my knowledge, the Pope did not apologize. He did acknowledge it to former first nations chief Phil Fontaine, but it was neither an admission or an apology. The Catholic Church, or rather its leader should apologize. I think they won't because to admit wrongdoing could bring a pretty hefty class action suit.
