Francis went ahead and said it, while apologizing to Canadian Indigenous elders
“For the deplorable conduct of those members of the Catholic Church, I ask forgiveness of the Lord,” the pope said, after a week of talks with various delegations who aired their grievances with the pontiff. “And I want to tell you from my heart, that I am greatly pained. And I unite myself with the Canadian bishops in apologizing.”
The pope has expressed sorrow on behalf of the Catholic Church’s considerable problem with predatory pedophile priests, but he has rarely gone as far as he did Friday in calling the priests “deplorable” and in saying he was both ashamed and indignant over the abuses.
