Pope apologises to Canada's Indigenous for abuse at church-run schools
Pope Francis apologised Friday for abuse committed at church-run residential schools in Canada, telling Indigenous delegations at the Vatican it caused him "pain and shame". "I ask for God's forgiveness for the deplorable conduct of these members of the Catholic Church," he said, following meetings this week with survivors from the First Nations, Metis and Inuit aboriginal groups. The pontiff, 85, said he hoped to travel to Canada for the country's St Anne's Feast Day on July 26.
