Please explain the damage done if rescinded. Yet to hear that part from you.

I am impressed that you can fart a rainbow, though.

From my previous post, "As the bull referred in the main to Islamic lands (formerly Christian lands), rescinding it would encourage the Muslims in jihad across large swaths of Europe."

In short, the current governments, who now govern the territories that then held by the Christian kingdoms of the time, would give out a collective yawn, as the papal bull hasn't been relevant for over 500 years. However, the Islamists would declare that the Catholic Church was declaring that all lands in Spain, Portugal, and in the East up to Vienna were officially Islamic lands.

You have yet to state what possible good could come of trying to reconstruct alternative histories. Should the British crown send us an apology for tersely responding to our Declaration of Independence? Would anyone give a crap? This type of historical naval gazing is worse than pointless, its likely to get lots of people dead by reopening settled issues.

What could possibly be gained by rescinding it? Do you really think that if not for the bull the America's would now be full of stone-age cultures riding unicorns and farting rainbows?

As I am not a member of the native American nations, your comment makes no sense, as a retort to mine. As a matter of fact, we are now into the third iteration of posts and you have yet to explain yourself, counter a single point I've made, or give any indication that you have even read the papal bull in question. Do you have anything of substance to offer at all, or are you just trolling FR?
