We have had too many popes issue hollow apologies, and people fall for their crocodile tears.

1) Demand that the #Pope ask #Catholics to resign from all military posts.

2) Demand that the #Vatican pay #reparations to all the people of the nations that the church looted, and which afforded it a pile of gold in a private city state in the middle of Rome.

3) Demand that the #Catholic #Church compensate all the children their priests abused.

4) Demand that the pope stop condemning #LGBTQ folks.

5) #FreeLuigi

The utter silence from the British Press about this, it was "Royal News" yesterday

Oh sure, there are the stories, but the algorithms were not showing this one if that cursed Windows News tab is anything to go by...

A Day for the World to Say Sorry

From Australia’s National Sorry Day Toward an International Day of Truth, Repentance, and Repair

A PeaceGrooves Reflection

There are words so overused that they risk becoming weightless. Sorry is one of them. We say it when we bump into someone in a hallway, when we answer an email too late, when we make an insignificant mistake. Yet there are times when sorry is not small at all. There are wounds so deep, so deliberately inflicted, and so long denied that the speaking of sorrow becomes an act of public truth.

Australia’s National Sorry Day, observed each year on May 26, is such a day. It remembers the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children forcibly removed from their families, communities, languages, and cultures under government policies now associated with the Stolen Generations. The date marks the anniversary of the 1997 tabling of the Bringing Them Home report, the landmark national inquiry that gathered testimony from survivors and documented the devastation caused by these removals. The report called not only for recognition of what had happened, but for apology, healing, reparations, family reunion, access to records, and measures ensuring such violations would never recur.

National Sorry Day did not begin as a sentimental holiday….

Expropriation from the European Jews transfered properties billions worth. From then on, the grabbed money and wealth mostly followed laws of ownership and capitalism. Only in #Germany, they grew into companies and assets in the realm of between €300 billion and €1 trillion.

In their book , Katharina and Zachary #Gallant write:
"Hitler didn't produce Zyklon-B and profit off of its use in the murder of millions: Degesh, Degussa, Henkel, and IG Faben did. Hitler didn't rip the shares of major companies from their Jewish owners, … major German businesses did… And it wasn't Hitler who took over houses and properties that had belonged to Jews through Aryanization, it was everyday Germans, many of whose families still live in those homes today."

#Histodons: Can you share links or other resources for the process of writing #microhistory? I'm working on a #Quaker #reparations #history project for my Meeting and and would like to begin sharing some of the stories using this approach. A Google search hasn't gotten me any truly helpful writing guides, yet. Any recommendations are truly appreciated.
