LIST OF APOLOGIES MADE BY POPE JOHN PAUL II; POPE JOHN PAUL II MADE MANY APOLOGIES. DURING HIS LONG REIGN AS POPE, HE APOLOGIZED TO JEWS, WOMEN, PEOPLE CONVICTED BY THE INQUISITION, MUSLIMS KILLED BY THE CRUSADERS AND ALMOST EVERYONE WHO HAD SUFFERED AT THE HANDS OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH OVER THE CENTURIES; CHRISTIANS INVOLVED IN THE AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE
AND
THE CHURCH'S ROLE IN BURNING "WITCHES" AT THE STAKE AND THE RELIGIOUS WARS THAT FOLLOWED THE PROTESTANT REFORMATION; THE ACTIVITY, INACTIVITY AND SILENCE OF CATHOLICS DURING THE HOLOCAUST; FOR THE CRUSADERS' SACK OF CONSTANTINOPLE IN 1204; In a June 1995, "Letter to Women", John Paul said,
"Women's dignity has often been unacknowledged and their prerogatives misrepresented; they have often been relegated to the margins of society and even reduced to servitude...Certainly it is no easy task to assign the blame for this, considering the many kinds of cultural conditioning which down the centuries have shaped ways of thinking and acting. And if objective blame, especially in particular historical contexts, has belonged to not just a few members of the Church, for this I am truly sorry."; "THE GREAT JUBILEE OF THE YEAR 2000 INCLUDED A DAY OF PRAYER FOR FORGIVENESS OF THE SINS OF THE CHURCH ON MARCH 12, 2000". THEY CALLED FORGIVING THEMSELVES FOR THE CARNAGE THEY'VE CAUSED FOR CENTURIES " THE GREAT JUBILEE"; Oh, but they said "SORRY" and that's all they think they need to be forgiven
