Your Lips Say No, But Your Soul Says Yes
Y'know, it's not enough that nearly every photo that exists of Pope Benedict XVI (a.k.a., "Joey Rats") makes him look like Emperor Palpatine. He also
has to go and say shit like this:
n a speech to Latin American and Caribbean bishops at the end of a visit to Brazil, the Pope said the Church had not imposed itself on the indigenous peoples of the Americas.
They had welcomed the arrival of European priests at the time of the conquest as they were "silently longing" for Christianity, he said.
They also silently longed for smallpox, mass murder, enslavement, and the squandering of all their natural resources. Apparently, the souls of the Native Americans had this weird BDSM thing going on.
I honestly thought that, after over five hundred years of this bullshit, we could finally, openly realize just how much early European colonization efforts screwed over American natives. Then again, I guess it looks like Joey Rats loves to cling to the Columbus myth.
