This is nothing new. The RCC in Rwanda apologized for this back in 2014 as well. And yes ... some members of the Church had a hand in the massacres. More than 2,000 people had sought shelter in Saint Famille, Rwanda’s largest Catholic church. Later, many were handed over to the killers by one of the parish priests, who witnesses said colluded with the Hutu militias.

Shameful that this happened, but I see no need for Pope Francis to revisit this seeing that the Church in Rwanda had already apologized for what some of its members did.

They were not “handed over”. A mob went into the church with machetes and killed the people hiding there.
