I actually saw this statement a few days (I am a subscriber to the website, through my use of their daily readings online) and was so irritated I just dismissed it.  This lack of information about the dead children is a sign to me that nobody thought these children were as much children of God as those who were white and Christian.  I am beginning to wonder if there are any records.  I keep praying that somebody, either in the church or the government will take up the task of trying to find out whatever they can about these buried children.

There was a time in my life as a Catholic that statements from the bishops challenged me in every way to live justly according to the many teachings of Jesus.

Well said Catherine.   Nothing that the bishops are doing prevents them from also asking the Pope to come to Canada to apologize.  What's wrong with them that they can't even do this??

It’s incredible how many words can be used to avoid saying ‘We apologize’. Instead of inviting the Pope here as the Truth and Reconciliation Commission called for, they intend to send representatives to Rome? So much less meaningful. And the power differential makes it worse. You don’t make someone come to you so you can apologize. Obviously they don’t intend to apologize but to ‘smooth things over’. Why can other Christian Churches apologize and we, as an institution, who even have a sacrament for reconciliation, find it so hard to? It looks like the fear of litigation is greater than the healing of a group of people. Can’t they trust in the love and forgiveness they preach?  I’m ashamed to be Catholic.
