Further underlining his wasteful and hate-filled existence, the Pope managed to alienate an entire race of people in Brasil. While many residents in the largely Roman Catholic country welcomed his historical visit, other citizens of the indigenous persuasion did not.
He said that these people had been "silently longing" for Catholicism before the first missionaries set foot on the continent, and by revisiting their religious roots they would be taking a step backward.
Yes, silently longing for white Spaniards to rape and pillage their land (and by land I mean the ENTIRE Amazon), spreading the word of God. Spreading diseases that resulted in the deaths of millions, eradicating entire subcultures of people. Silently longing for their identities to be suppressed and assimilated into Western culture. Silently longing to be used as slaves in the then-lucrative sugar market. Silently longing to be ignored, plighted, and pushed out of their homes. Thank God for Catholicism!
Preach on, Pope, preach on.
