[Mrs. Don-o]

"there was jailing of indigenous women in quarters away from indigenous men so that Spanish soldiers could come in and rape them and continue to perpetuate abuses against culture."

Detestable lies. Moral defamation. Blood libel.

The truth is the exact opposite. Junipero Serra incurred the wrath of the soldiers at the nearby Spanish Presidios because he forbade and prevented rapes and the soldiers' acquiring of Indian women as concubines via capture, purchase, seduction or force.

He traveled from Alta California to Mexico City to lodge formal complaints with both civil, military and ecclesiastical authorities, against the sexual exploitation of native California women.

Lord, I hate, I hate (!) the cultural vandalism of the Left.

It isn’t just cultural vandalism, it’s also hatred of the Catholic Church and Christianity in general.

Truth is whatever is useful to further their power. Fact is that the Indians in California were doing reasonably well until after 1846.
