Two Indigenous women unfurled a banner at the altar of the National Shrine of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupre on July 29 that read: "Rescind the Doctrine" in bright red and black letters. The protesters were escorted away and the Mass proceeded without incident, though the women later marched the banner out of the basilica and draped it on the railing.
The Vatican offered no evidence that the three 15th-century papal bulls had themselves been formally abrogated, rescinded or rejected, as Vatican officials have often said. But it cited a subsequent bull, Sublimis Deus in 1537, that reaffirmed that Indigenous peoples shouldn't be deprived of their liberty or the possession of their property, and were not to be enslaved.
Cardinal Jose Tolentino de Mendonca, prefect of the Vatican's culture office, said the statement was a reflection of the Vatican's dialogue with Indigenous peoples.
This is stupid. All land has been discovered now, so a little late. Plus, if you are going to ignore this as a principle, then people will just say we took it. Focus on now. Nobody is changing where we are now, even the losers with FN place names in their bios.
The pope's so-called 'apology' disappeared as soon as he finished his taxpayer paid 20 million dollar visit to Canada. He is a corrupt politician as much or more than any other in the world
Have they found any real graves yet?
