While increasingly common, the ecclesial apology is a relatively modern phenomenon.
FILE - Pope John Paul II places a typed and signed note into a crack at the Western Wall Sunday, March 26, 2000, in Jerusalem's Old City. He tucked the prayer note into the wall asking Gods forgiveness for those who"have caused these children of yours to suffer. this week, he will make another effort toward healing harms inflicted at church-run residential schools — and add to the Catholic Church’s growing ledger of atonement for past transgressions.
Marty, an elder at Sacred Heart Church of the First Peoples in Edmonton, a Catholic parish in Alberta's capital oriented toward Indigenous people and culture, said the pope’s visit offers “a tremendous opportunity for my own personal healing.” John Paul apologized for Catholics' sins through the ages, including against women, Jews and other religious minorities. In his most memorable act, he tucked a prayer note into the Western Wall in Jerusalem asking God’s forgiveness for those who"have caused these children of yours to suffer.
Francis has also apologized, in 2015 in Bolivia, for wrongs committed by the church against Indigenous peoples during the conquest of the Americas.
