Montreal’s Catholic Archbishop Christian Lépine says he is still struggling to come to terms with how Canada’s residential school system and its abuses were allowed to happen.
Lépine sat in the audience of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission dury its four-day stop in Montreal.
Saturday was the commission’s last day in Quebec.
In an interview with CBC’s Homerun, Lépine said he was struck by the humility and the courage of the witnesses, and their stories of abuse.
“What saddens me more is that … as Christians we allowed that to happen. As Catholics, we allowed that to happen,” Lépine said.
