Will the Mexican president apologize for the horrendous crimes of the Aztecs and their massive human sacrifices of conquered peoples?
Cortez did humanity a favor.
Uh ... Obrador looks about as indigenous as I do. Why doesn’t he apologize for his own existence?
Obrador comes face to face all over Mexico with statues of Bartolome de las Casas. A Spanish born Bishop in Mexico. He was first to complain about Maltreatment of indigenous in c.14 to 1500. He asked Pope for, and got, a declaration stating the full humanity of the indigenous and the command to treat them in keeping with same.
Obrador kowtowing to the victims in Mexico and her of revisionist history.
Followed by reparations, of course.
Couldn’t happen to a more deserving Marxist pope.
Has he demanded an apology from the SPANISH government yet???
Why? He’s a white guy. His ancestors are the Conquistadors, not the Aztecs.
He also seeks revocation of the excommunication of Hidalgo. That’s more interesting. Hidalgo had a legitimate beef: Napoleon didn’t want the locals growing crops like olives, which the Mexican soil was very well suited for, but which would compete directly with produce of continental France/Spain. But he was a priest, and priests leading bloody insurrections, no matter what their grievance, just shouldn’t be a thing. So instead of getting his flock well-fed, he got them led into battles in which they were slaughtered by the tens of thousands.
If they really feel this way then Mexico must discover and turnover all control to tribal chiefs.
Why would the church apologize for civilizing the wretched pre-Columbian savages?
That’s kinda like being asked to apologize for being white.
Inferior cultures conquered by superior cultures nothing to apologise for
And what percentage conquistador blood is the president of Mexico?
Pointless endeavors.
Hey eff that
No Christopher Columbus, no church and there is no you, no Latino’s, No Mexican’s, No Columbians No Puerto Ricans, No Trinidad, No Brazil, etc
No running water from a simple tap, no electricity, no penicillin, no gps, etc
grow up
This is all wrong but enjoyable given this Pope.
This would make a perfect Celebrity Deathmatch.

If the indigenous people of Mexico had a bigger defense budget in the 1500s it would not be an issue.
