lol how on earth did it take this long?? and why didn’t Pope Francis do it before?
WOW—he’s not only addressed the mistakes of history but also his own family history, and he apologizes for the role the Church played. Respect
Why did God allow it in the first place
The „historic“ in the title is not hyperbole. This is huge news.
The Vatican participated in the transfer of Nazi criminals, including those involved in the murder of Jews, after the end of World War II. This activity became known as the „[ratlines](https://churchandstate.org.uk/2024/05/the-vaticans-role-in-the-ratlines-examining-the-catholic-churchs-involvement-in-nazi-escapes/).“ However, the Vatican has made no official public apology for these actions.
This is good.
Ahahahah, ehi, wait a minute… I knew that Bible = Divine Truth. Anything in there is true, because God wrote it thru human hands (sure it’s a bullshit collection, I know, but stick with me for a while).
So, is it now the time to admit that part of that sacred book isn’t so sacred and true? And if part of that book is bullshit, then why do not admit that it’s a fairy tale story written, twisted, corrected and rewritten by men, and that the humans should stop to follow it (usually, the parts they love more, oppressing the minorities, annoying the non believers, keeping the women submissive)?
…this has always been my biggest gripe with the Catholic Church. Wow, I’m actually shocked. the guy actually did it
America: Slow it down there, Pope
Amazing
I like the popes that aren’t weak on crime, tyvm
Apologies must be nice, but that entire Church needs to be taken apart and distributed as reparations if they want to even START actually redeeming themselves.
No? They’re keeping the gold, jewels, artifacts?
Thought so. North American indigenous peoples are still having to sue and negotiate with the Church to get the hair and scalp they’ve kept as souvenirs from the kidnapped indigenous children in Christian “reeducation” camps.
Trump I’m NOT going to like this….
(Good)
Next apologize to women and allow them to be ordained into the priesthood.
Wow, it only took some American guilt to do it! Good progress!
Da Pope! Makes me proud to be a Chicagoan.
How is the American Pope seemingly the man, and a perfect successor to the last Pope who was also very progressive, while the actual American public regresses into full blown tribal politics and idiocracy levels of incompetence in leadership
While they still brush child rape under the rug
Oh I can already see #nOtmYpOpe trending again already.
I like this guy more and more
I guess now they’re more infallible than they were before
Ok pope, now take all the wealth stored under hordes of blood gold and give it all away, you know like your supposed bible instructs you to
So, just need God to apologise next!
“Man in flagrant, colorful robes says their sky king has demanded he issue an apology sky kings role in slavery over the past couple hundred years”
Gee, religion is so relatable! Maybe more so now than ever before! How have I been rejecting it for so long
Oh. They were really quick to notice. Better late than never, I guess.
How long until MAGA starts complaining that it’s a thinly veiled shot across their own bow?
Oh this will piss the MAGAts off. They want a return to slavery.
Good Pope.
Great start! Now do sexual abuse in the roman catholic church, I feel like we still have something to work through here.
Who even cares what the pope thinks, we’re in the 21st century, not 11th
