Last week Pope Francis visited Canada to apologize and seek forgiveness for the crimes committed by the Catholic Church against the indigenous peoples of Canada. He called that practice of Christianity \u201cevil.\u201d
\n
\nOn the first day of his visit Mike received an email from one of Canada\u2019s most well known and beloved Native Canadians, the folksinger Buffy Sainte Marie. In it she explains why an apology isn\u2019t enough.
\n
\nMike then asks the Pope (whom he\u2019s met) to grant indigenous people everywhere a Papal Decree that\u2019s long overdue.
