For those who are guzzling the Pope's Kool-aid, there are reams of historical proof that the missions were forced labor camps where Native Californians were imprisoned. Countless died from physical abuse, malnutrition and disease. For the Pope to make Serra a saint, and justify it with "he defended the Indians," is an outrageous denial of reality. <br /><br />But then, history shows that denials of reality are S.O.P. for the Vatican.<br /><br /><br />Dawsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-55861018165228576762015-09-24T06:49:17.427-10:002015-09-24T06:49:17.427-10:00Ed Coll wrote...
