Pope Francis apologizes for Catholic Church's role in residential school system

Pope Francis apologized today for the Catholic Church's role in Canada's residential school system.

After private meetings between Pope Francis and First Nations, Inuit and Metis delegates this week, all parties met the Pope at the Vatican on Friday.

In his remarks, the pontiff said the words so many have waited so long to hear.

"I want to say to you with all my heart, I am very sorry," he said in translated remarks.

Pope Francis also said he would travel to Canada.
