I'd like to see the United States apologize for protecting the murderous slave trade, for slavery, for barring blacks from politics and civil rights.

Then maybe the Church will apologize for denying blacks the priesthood in a church you all hold to be a reprehensible cult.

The house of representatives passed a resolution apologizing for slavery and Jim Crow laws.

Edited to Add: I'm not sure what your point was. Are you saying the church isn't required to apologize if the united states hasn't?

Well, there you go. Oh, wait, that's not Congress, and that's not reparations, either.

You want reparations, too? Or was your sentiment not genuine?

Yahoo Bot makes a comparison to the US government in hopes to... What? Justify the actions of the church?
