NOBODY expects an apology for the Spanish Inquisition.
But yesterday the Pope gave one, asking forgiveness for the wave of torture, trials and executions the Church unleashed across Europe in its hunt for heretics.

The U.S. government
officially apologized for the internment in 1988, saying it was based on "race prejudice, war hysteria, and a failure of political leadership", and paid reparations to survivors.

maybe christians just arent as caring/sensitive about their faith anymore? most of the attacks on christianity that we have seen have come from others christians/former christians.
will & grace do it on an episode by episode basis. NBC aired a show (Book of Daniel), in which that was its sole purpose. fortunately it got cancelled. i don't consider either of these to be Christian.
