Pope Francis Attends First Public Mass on His Trip to Canada | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Pope Francis spent his 3rd day in Canada attending his first public Mass of the visit. However, the main story is the reaction to the Holy Father's apology on Monday for the Church's role in abuse at residential schools. Many say they welcomed the message of seeking forgiveness. Gerald Gladue, a son of an abuse survivor says, "I believe that he is true, because of what he is doing. He is manning up and that is awesome." Gladue's mother was abused at one of the schools and waited outside Edmonton's Sacred Heart Church to see Pope Francis. Chief of the Samson Cree Nation also says the Holy Father's words were important for healing. Vatican Analyst for EWTN News, Andrea Gagliarducci, joins to share what the Holy Father said in his apology and what the reaction has been to his remarks. Gagliarducci explains how the Holy Father has been received in Canada overall. Pope Francis is in Canada until Saturday visiting 2 more cities.
