Missionary JunÃpero Serra created California!!!!
We leaned about him in high school back in Arizona when I was young! He is NOT replaceable by any Native American, unless one prefers paganism!!!!
Progressives prefer paganism.
Paganism goes better with baby killing, genderism, homosexuality and so forth than Christ does.
And story of his life is really saintly.
He left plush job as Spanish University professor, to minister to the natives.
He was Franciscan and hold himself in utmost poverty.
E.g. he walked thousands of miles form Veracruz to San Francisco and back to Mexico City, just because riding horse would be against his wow of poverty!
