The Catholics who colonized or settled in Mexico,Central and South America as well as the Philippines assimilated by intermarrying or left the innocent natives alone except to Baptize in the name of The Father,Son and Holy Ghost and teach them what He had commanded those early Apostles to go out and do in His Name throughout the world,in perpetuity.
The history of Mexico and the Church is probably totally contrary to what you believe it to be and perhaps after Christmas someone will start a thread on it.
I will add that it was very unwise and impolitic for the two bishops and the one Bishop from Arizona to issue that vacuous,truth twisting position paper.
You believe the church's propaganda.
The Church allowed the complete annialation of the Aztecs and the indians of Peru. The Caribes were enslaved and decimated.
The Maya culture was deemed heretical and wiped out.
Your view of the benign church is just wrong.
