Years ago I attended a service w/ a Catholic priest who had Catholics apologize to non-Catholics for historical wrongs committed by the Church. I found it very moving & have been proud to do something similar regarding blacks & Native Americans in America. Nothing silly about it.

Should've had the pope or the Vatican apologize, unless the Catholics who apologized actually committed a wrong. Having a random Japanese person apologize for atrocities during WWII isn't the same as having a Japanese gov't official apologize.

Yep. Neither owning or disowning, but recognising and acknowledging the pain caused and the lesson learned.

No labeling please. People are people. 😀

So you are trying to force the sins of the fathers onto their children? Did that priest burn any protestants at the stake? No. So why should he apologise? Likewise, how many people alive today ever owned black slaves? None. So why should anyone apologise?.

Your apologist ideology is asinine. I guess if you are on the ballot, I will go "Brewster's Millions" and vote None of the Above. Maybe you should start with apologizing for accusing any white American for things they had nothing to do with. #Snowflake

There is a book that call forgive us. For people with religious inclination is a good reading.

What about the British Monarchy and all the plundering they did?

So 50 years from now my grandchild should take responsibility for my behavior and apologize though he/she may know nothing of how i conducted myself? You are a crack pot.

Capitalize the B going forth.
