This just infuriates me. How tone deaf is the Roman Catholic Church? Why does the church feel compelled to canonize a person who was at the heart of -
enslaving
famine
destruction of an entire culture
sickness
death
brutalizing
demeaning-
the indigenous people of early California.
The church's response to those long accepted facts regarding Father Serra-
he isn't perfect. Really? Is that all they have in defense of him? basically , yes.
