Local groups call the Pope Leo to return thousands of Vatican works

The Vatican Museums draw more than six million visitors from the world’s most popular, broad art collections, including Michelangelo and Rafael’s masterpieces.

However, an exhibition in the Vatican city is noteworthy for the wrong reasons.

The Vatican Mundi Museum of the Vatica carries thousands of local works taken from communities in Canada by Catholic missionaries in Canada a century ago. Local nations have long been promised to return the works and in 2022 that Pope Francis promised to return to Canada.

However, after his death in April, Pope Leo XIVs, local leaders are now worried that the promise of concerns will die with him.

“It can only be swept under the carpet,” he said. “These items were stolen from local communities.”

In 1924, Pope Pius Xi called the world’s Catholic missionaries to collect local works and bring to the Vatican. The next year, one million pilgrims and visitors were found in the vatican missionary exhibition, which promotes residential schools and the missions of the church around the world.

Artifacts have been a permanent collection in the Vatican since today. Walked on Amina Munda, who was visiting Rome to deliver global news, lectures and expanding his work on works.

A wide range of rare and priceless works include a seal skin skiing and wampum belt. Most of the items are currently being saved, but on the screen with them. The Vatican exhibition calls them “gifts”.

“It’s just a false narrative to call everything ‘gift’.”

Anthony Martin Fernando, who protested in 1925 during the Vatican Missionary Exhibition, Anthony Martin Fernando, who protested during the Vatican missionary exhibition in 1925, distributed thousands of leaflets rejecting the stolen.

Fernando was arrested and jailed for his protest.

“When these items were stolen from local communities in the early 1920s, missionaries, one of the most agribolative periods of the 1920s, think that everything was taken by missionaries,” he said.

“Local children were held in residential schools, and then the materials were shown as the Pope ‘Cups’ at this exhibition.”

In 2022, the delegation of local leaders from Canada was invited to Rome to Rome and discussed peace efforts. During the visit, as a gesture of goodwill, the Vatican officials showed some works of some of the works.

“Seeing these items with their hands, in many cases, the women of our great grandmother’s generation were very deeply,” he said. Victoria Purden, Victoria Purden, which is part of the delegation.

“You can’t help, but you felt that these items should be returned to the house. They must be in a place where our children and grandchildren and our grandchildren and our communities can enjoy them and think.”

In 2022, Pope Francis officially apologized to the survivors of the living school and promised to be returned to the communities of art in Canada. Three years later, it is unknown whether there is any progress in the file.

“There are many rhetoric around the truth and peace, there have been many performances around them, but there has been no refection so far.”

The decision to return artefacts will now relax in the end with the newly selected Pope Leo XIV. Global news, Pope chose to wait for Leo, and Pope chose that he expected Leo to fulfill his predecessor.

“The basics are something that I continue situation. There are some opposite,” said Kavrecin Archbishop Cardinal Gérald Lacroix. “Let’s open things. But I am sure that (Pope Leo) will be interested in it.”

Purden, who returned to the Vatican city for the pope and raised the issue with the Vatican officials, said that art works are optimistic that art works will be returned to their communities.

“When we managed to do this, we will have a symbol of reconciliation that returns them.”
