Tribal Indians condemn pope's denial of indigenous holocaust
Indian leaders in Brazil have reacted angrily to comments by Pope
Benedict
that they had been purified by the Roman Catholic church since Columbus
landed in the Americas in 1492.
In a speech to bishops at the end of a visit to Brazil on Sunday,
Benedict
said indigenous people of the Americas had welcomed European priests
after conquest.
The pope had said the peoples of the Americas had a silent longing for
Christianity and welcomed European priests arrival. :-D
He said the church had not imposed itself on the indigenous peoples
of the Americas.
Since Colombus landing, millions of tribal Indians are believed to have
died as a result of European colonization backed by the Roman Catholic
church through murder, disease or enslavement.
I can look out my living room window, south to the Ortiz mountains.
Pueblo Indians toiled as slaves there - mining gold for Spanish
conquistadors.
They were tortured and executed if they didn't work hard enough.
And their slave masters were blessed by colonial priests for doing God
work.
Someone should explain to the pope, that the silent longing was for
freedom!
