A CTV News article, on Wednesday April 29, 2009, said "Pope Benedict has said he is sorry for the physical and sexual abuse and "deplorable" conduct at Catholic church-run Canadian residential schools.

The Vatican says the pontiff expressed his sorrow and emphasized that "acts of abuse cannot be tolerated" at a meeting Wednesday with representatives of native Canadians"

It also said ".Until today, the Church as a whole had never apologized for the abuse that aboriginal students suffered at the hands of Catholic missionary congregations".

And it said "Phil Fontaine, national chief of the Assembly of First Nations, said he appreciated the apology from the Church".

How many Popes are supposed to appologize?
