The German Pope, who has condemned the effects of colonialism before, said rich countries had also hurt poor countries spiritually by belittling or trying to wipe out their own cultural and spiritual traditions.

What does he call the forced Christianization by the Conquistadores and the Catholic Church of South America?

Has he apologized for that? Should he return all the gold and jewels that were stolen from the Incas and Mayans and Aztecs that were later used to build and decorate St. Peter's Basillica and the Vatican?

Oh the Humanity Hypocrisy!
