News Tidbits – The Pope has issued a letter of apology in response to the report documenting abuse by more than 300 priests in Pennsylvania of more than 1,000 victims over a period of 70 years. In Canada 16 out of 70 Catholic dioceses in Canada were associated with the former Indian Residential Schools, in addition to about three dozen religious communities. Because each diocese and religious community is legally responsible for its own actions, an apology on Residential Schools has not been made by the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops or in the name of the Catholic Church in Canada.
