“....Junipero Serra, who he called “the evangelizer of the west”...
Beatified by St. John Paul II in 1988, the 18th century missionary and Franciscan priest – who worked to defend the native people against the abuses of colonialism – was canonized by Pope Francis on Sep. 23 during his Apostolic Journey to the United States.
Serra was the missionary who founded the first nine of 21 eventual missions in California. Many of the missions became the centers of major cities like San Diego. He worked tirelessly with the Native Americans, and is said to have baptized more than 6,000 people, and confirmed more than 5,000.”
This Junipero Serra quy sounds like one evil dude.
How long before San Francisco changes its name?
Proposed new names:
Castropolis
