Or more to the point, he did not apologize formally for the Church as a whole or disavow the whole notion of residential schools, he expressed his "sorrow...over the abuse and "deplorable" treatment", "sympathy, and prayerful solidarity to those whose anguish was caused by SOME church members".

Which sounds right. He did not apologize for all the church members who had good intentions, responded to the call of the government for the help of the Church in getting First Nations people educated in modern, western ways, were devoted, and did not abuse their charges.
