Oh, and don't forget the slavery...
You cannot blame someone who had nothing to do with these issues. Although he hasn't specifically said sorry, he did do great work in issues of human rights. Please don't trivialize these because he didn't apoligize for the actions of others.

Well said, Lindsey. However, the Pope
did apologize.
To add to your well done post: Our founding fathers were slave owners - should Americans be loathed, each one of us, for the actions of our Ancestors and their actions that make up our History?
Should Aussie's be automatically (and unfairly) distrusted, loathed, hated even, for their Ancestors who were said to be "thieves", "convicts", etc. by England's ancestors?
Be fair...we
ALL are only human...
