It will be your tax dollars in endowments that will pay this 100 million or they’ll just fake it.
Joe Stewart and Fr. Kesicki were meeting secretly for 3 years ! The Society of Jesus and Joe Stewart( 5-6 of his best friends ) are not eve responding to our emails/messages/calls!
No thank you heathens!
A guy who did nothing apologizing to people who went through nothing. Ya that sounds about right
Reparations and atonement can only be delivered by God, NOT human interference. Reparations will only make things worse.
Jesuits are evil in general. Where is it biblical that this is atonement for slavery. Newsflash: GOD PERMITTED SLAVERY. Not saying that slavery is a good thing and thank God I've never been a slave. However, God doesn't give people anything more than they can handle.
Keep your money, we want nothing from you!
It's funny it only help descendants rather than all black people
BLM have been screaming social justice all year and now they are in the forefront of hate crimes against asians -.-
Jews participated in the Caribbean slave trade. The person who deleted my first post should look at history and not censor.
What fo you mean, yes, even the Roman Catholic Church owned slaves? Of course, they and the Arabs started the slave trade. Don’t let them distance themselves from their evil role.
What a bunch of stupid assholes.
I had a Jesuit teacher ten years ago. He told me America would be divided and will fall as all are fated to become. He was right, great plan at work right now, nothing anyone can do to stop it.
Georgetown has an endowment of 1 billion+ so what are they raising money for? They already have the assets to pay black folks.
I am a descendant of Roman Slaves. Where is my atonement?
10 trillion is a start
Ponzi scheme
Grand gesture of atonement. Now it's time for AMERICAN atonement for AMERICA'S BIGGEST SIN!
This is as stupid as me asking for reparations for the potato famine for the pain and hunger my ancestors endured.I guess the people who had ancestors who were raped and subjugated by the Huns would have to be paid. Genghis Khan his ancestors would have to pay up. Then we have the Islamic slaves European and sub-Saharan African. This will never end and is counterproductive.
They_ should go broke"!!!!
"TRILLIONS'_ why are black people poor???? Never???
About time
😳 Whoa….they're actually taking…RESPONSIBILITY!?
Will they do the same with all the sexually abused children, and STOP trying to get laws passed that PREVENT victims of the Church from sueing them??
All religions are man-made. They are a scam. People convinced some government that they shouldn't have to pay taxes, social security, unemployment, workman's compinsation. Religion is fiction. No one should have to obey, support, promote, teach, learn, participate or fund religion. Every religious organization has know for thousands of years, they are a Ponzi scheme. Goverments, military and law enforcement are afraid to admit this, because they might want money, votes or some other benefits.
How is it everyone in this country . In the world. Have forgotten what they did to the Native Americans? Really? We are still here . We are not to be forgotten.
I hope i don't offend anybody but if African Americans can just have their true African last names that would mean so much more than money, it saddens me to see these people reporting this news with English and Irish lasts names.
This is all an attempt to convince people that organized religion is not a hurtful cult….
wont be any of their money , church goers ,
This money does not diminish nor remove the crimes committed by our ancestors either in the USA or other countries. Are they trying to remove the guilt from the crimes the slave trade committed for thousands of years?
But aren't these Jesuits still following the same bible now as they did in the days of slavery, I don't get it?!
100 Million doesn't even scratch the surface.
So….if we go down this slippery slope, when will this end?
Absolutely crazy. How r we gonna reconcile all the wrong doings? We gonna give asians reconciliation money as well? And the native americans mexican and italians. This only segregates people more. They look at blacks and think they need help and can't do it by themselves.
I love this positive response. Why cant we ALL just be happy that there are positive steps forward? Some of these comments are so negative… how can anyone be like, "no, i dont like positive steps and fruitful actions". 🤷â€ÂÂ♀ï¸ÂÂ
Omfg there's still slavery in Africa every culture has used slavery
