1. Pope skirts apology: Pope Francis spoke about the 215 Indigenous children who were found buried near a former residential school in B.C., calling it a "sad affair."

2. Not going far enough: Indigenous leaders and residential school survivors reacted to the Pope’s comments, saying the Catholic church needs to do more.
