Pope begs God's forgiveness for Church sins during Rwanda genocide
Pope Francis
Vatican City - Arab Today
Pope Francis on Monday begged for God's forgiveness for "the sins and failings of the Church and its members" implicated in the 1994 Rwanda genocide that killed around 800,000 people.
The Vatican statement followed a meeting between Francis and the Rwanda President Paul Kagame. The pardon plea followed a request from Rwanda in November for the Vatican to apologise for the role some Catholic priests and religious figures played in the massacres.
