The Catholic Church in Rwanda apologized for the
Church’s role in the 1994 genocide, saying it regretted the actions of those
who participated in the massacres, reported the Catholic Herald.
“We apologise for all the wrongs the Church committed. We
apologise on behalf of all Christians for all forms of wrongs we committed. We
regret that Church members violated their oath of allegiance to God’s
commandments,” said the statement by the Conference of Catholic Bishops, which
was read out in parishes across the country.
The statement acknowledged that Church members planned,
aided and executed the genocide, in which more than 800,000 ethnic Tutsis and
moderate Hutus were killed by Hutu extremists.
