Yeah, he's less bad than a lot of the previous ones.

Still represents a hypocritical organization that protects centuries of child abusers, though.

Yeah. Fuck religion.

Agreed - at least as much as I can like any leader of an organization that has been responsible for so much evil shit.

The last pope started this process, just to be fair.

WTF? How is the pope even involved?

Most of the items in the Vatican collection were sent to Rome by Catholic missionaries for a 1925 exhibition in the Vatican gardens. The Vatican insists the items were “gifts” to Pope Pius XI, who wanted to celebrate the church’s global reach, its missionaries and the lives of the Indigenous peoples they evangelized.

But historians, Indigenous groups and experts have long questioned whether the items could really have been offered freely, given the power imbalances at play in Catholic missions at the time.

The rest of the article is an interesting read.

Canada let religion run schools in reservations where first Nations people were allowed to live.

many native peoples died in those schools and also had the entire culture suppressed and or taken away from them to "save" them. When they didn't learn good enough, many people died.

Religion is and always will be evil say at its best and brightest
