POPE FRANCIS the CON-Christ.
Paris Arrow
We live in capitalism, its power seems inescapable — but then, so did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art. Very often in our art, the art of words.
— Ursula K. Le Guin
To canonize Junipero Serra is to canonize the genocide against us as indigenous people. Serra brutally converted indigenous people to Christianity, enslaved converts and helped spread diseases like smallpox. His job was to kill the indigenous people, who we were as a people, and instead revive us as Christians. Instead of being honored, Serra should be criticised for what was his role in wiping out native populations in a brutal campaign to impose Catholicism.
