		</div><p>The Pope has begged forgiveness for the &#8220;sins and failings of the church and its members&#8221; during Rwanda&#8217;s 1994 genocide and told Rwanda&#8217;s president that he hoped his apology would help the country heal.</p>
<p>In an extraordinary statement after Francis&#8217; meeting with President Paul Kagame, the Vatican acknowledged that some Catholic priests and nuns &#8220;succumbed to hatred and violence, betraying their own evangelical mission&#8221;.</p>
<p>The Vatican said Francis also &#8220;expressed the desire that this humble recognition of the failings of that period, which unfortunately disfigured the face of the church, may contribute to a &#8216;purification of memory&#8217; and may promote, in hope and renewed trust, a future of peace&#8221;.</p>
<p>The Vatican&#8217;s statement followed an official apology issued last year by Rwanda&#8217;s Catholic bishops.</p>
