Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This article reflects on the apologies by Pope Francis for Indian Residential Schools in Canada in terms of the stories they tell about past wrongdoing and about the role of the apologies in repair and healing. Public commentators on apologies such as myself are part of this narrative process. These papal apologies frame the integrity of the representative making the apology, the scope of wrongdoing, and thus which kinds of actions the church believes will advance reconciliation. While an analysis of the words spoken reveal significant claims, including the Catholic Church’s problematic denial of institutional responsibility for the schools and the policies they advanced, the meaning of an apology is not determined only by an analysis of the words. I argue that the transformative promise of a praxis which includes an apology is linked to the apologizer’s renunciation of control over the process.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
