2:18 pm
a speech with several moments in which he said he was sorry, and he asked for forgiveness. and as you mentioned, the scope of the pain and suffering of these people's and that they suffered for more than a century is enormous. and that's the very reason why these delegates came here to rome and to vatican city this week. and delegates coming out of the meeting, said they could really tell even before this apology was issued just moments ago, that hope francis was taking a stamped posture of understanding and empathy. and that they could tell. they said that he was feeling strongly the sentiments that they were expressing there. and what else of the delegates asking of the pope is a very group and they're not all asking for the same thing. but some of the larger issues that many of them are asking for is a return of indigenous artifacts. the vatican museum, one of the largest in the world, has many such artifacts in its collection. and they're asking for that some of them
2:19 pm
. they're asking also for the the church to intervene and the case of a priest want it in canada on sex abuse. charges are with suspicion and they want the church to help them to intervene in that case and help them take that investigation forward. and they also want the church to release documents that might point to other abuses that they may not even know about during this more than a century long period in which the schools operated. heap in mind, nick, that those schools just closed in the 1990 some. some of these delegates actually were students in the school. so this isn't historical or academic for them. this is a very real and what they're asking for an addition. those things i just mentioned is that the pope comes to canada and apologizes on canadian away, which is possible. he did say during his apology that he is planning, planning to go to kennedy, didn't say when, but clearly he's considering that and that could be coming in the months to come
