Quote:Pope Francis defends missionary Junipero Serra from accusations of brutality prior to canonization
Quote:Tribal leaders in California say Serra beat and imprisoned local peoples, suppressed their cultures and facilitated the spread of diseases that decimated the population.
Without addressing specific accusations, Francis praised Serra’s missionary zeal and said the priest “defended the indigenous peoples against abuses by the colonizers”.
Yeah, but not from the abuses of the fucking church, you fuck.
