@ronnie k familiar—how exactly do we know what spirit it was meant.. that wave could signify many things, .We are to quick to respect the “seat” of the titles of these individuals and their abhorrent history seems to be avoided..An apology for rape, theft, murder ect. And with a wave of the hand all forgiven? Are you serious, in bermuda we lock up our men for farrrrless, and the pontiff has NOT forgiven them especially on the day of attonment..I guess he lacks those powers, or the will..if the papacy seat is forgiven for their attrocities than all people should be forgiven,.A persons title should not exempt them from the same punishment of the majority, and accountability is especially going to be required of the Pope seat.

Jeremiah 11-1-13—-Jeremiah 11,vs 14–”Therefore pray thou not for this people neither lift up a cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear them in the time that they cry unto me for their trouble.” I don’t know who the Pope is praying to, even if you say he is praying for everybody, God said He is the Saviour(Isiah 43:11)and besids Him there is no other.Matthew 23:9–” and call no man your father upon the earth for one is your Father, which is in Heaven.” Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ,But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.” chapter23vs 15″ Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees , hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

@sickofant—spanish and portuguese are languages, the Moors spoke latin before they were conquered 1492, thats why in school we learned latin back in 1970′s and it was eventually phased out so we would not have memory of it…When did the Moors invade those languages of spanish and portugues , I recall the Spanish inquisition, and the portuguese involved in the slave trade taking the gold.. so if you could provide some historical reference to the Moors invading those two languages it would be appreciated.

Has the Catholic Church apologised r its continued treatment of women and children in Ireland as yet?

http://www.irishcentral.com/opinion/cahirodoherty/Mass-grave-of-up-to-800-dead-babies-exposed-in-County-Galway-.html

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magdalene_laundries_in_Ireland

SOMEBODY should apologise to those 800+ dead babies. SOMEBODY should apologise for the 5000+ girls and women who are forced to travel outside the Iish to recieve an abortion, regardless of their health and circumstances.

That SOMEBODY might as well be the head guy, the Managing Director in charge of “God” on Earth.

Anyone who thinks this “Church” or its “Leader” is anythin other than a giant tax-evading hoax is delirious.

Wow! A religious leader offers prayer to a tiny island in it’s own turmoil and yet, there’s toxins spewed from mouths. I’m not a religious person, but thank you Pope Francis for thinking of little us on your journey. It’s clearly demonstrated by the some of the comments on here that we sure need it. On behalf of us who embrace prayer and blessings, THANK YOU!

I was not under the assumption, I was only referring to the Holocaust of my ancestry and the ongoing effects that we’re still feeling.
And in Bermuda and the rest of the Western Hemisphere is where Slavery of Africans were effected MAINLY.
The other places have their own advocates.

Thats why fools like you need to be reminded, Europeans have benefited HUGELY and are STILL benefiting from centuries of FREE labor and economic and social favor but act like we all started at the same point and refusing to admit that Generations of old money is still circulated through assets and estates from which a certain segment STILL enjoy through INHERITANCE.
The TRUTH is an offence but not a sin.

Well said Build a Better Bermuda! And who’s comparing slave trades ron,b besides you? OJ was/is clearly under the assumption that only Europeans were involved in the slave trade and that’s not true. You want to go making comparisons of which is better or worse in regards to the atrocities of history that’s on you!

After scanning these comments there are many on here who need a lot more than wishes of peace from the Pope. Some people will just never get it! They need much, much more than prayers. Let’s start with medications and psychologists.
God Bless you Pope Francis!

Wow, Bermuda is really going to the dogs. A religious leader offers something positive (prayer) to our Island and “Off They Go!!!”
I would not consider myself religious, but damn; if the Leader of any religious group, offered such positive wishes on my Country; I’ll take that for the gesture it is, no matter what I may think of their belief.
Chill out people; when he heads back from Cuba the plane should fly upside down when it goes over Bermuda (just a bird joke).

Slavery did not begin nor end with Europeans, Africans, Asians… It began with humanity; how can you demand accountability and reparations from one group without acknowledging all involved; where do you draw the line in history to say from here on it was bad; who decides where that line is; how do you hold people long dead responsible?
The trouble with history, we cannot change it, fix it, it is done; all we can truly do is learn from it to make sure we don’t repeat it.

Because the slave trade the Ottoman took over were predominantly based out of North Africa, where the slave trade had been active long before the Ottoman showed up, before the Romans showed up, before the Greeks… none of those empires established the trade there, they just took it over.

600m… how the hell did you get that number of dead… While records are sketchy, it was estimate that anywhere from 20m to 100m where taken during the trade and at no time during that period did the population of the whole of Africa itself exceed 80m… Please do a little research. I don’t even think the world population was much higher than 600m
