This comment section is so toxic. Acknowledgement is a pretty important first step and is required to start the conversation about righting wrongs and moving forward. Having recently visited Berlin, the impact of the acknowledgement and reminders of the atrocities they committed in the holocaust would leave no visitor short on the impression that they really fucked up and will never forget so that it will never happen again. The fact that the church is acknowledging it is the first step to evolving this religion into something that fits the reality of our current times.
