💨 Abstract

Pope Francis has made significant efforts to address the historical relationship between the Catholic Church and Native communities. Five key moments include: 1. Apologizing for the church's role in the conquest of America during a world summit on social inequality. Declaring Junipero Serra, a 18th-century missionary priest, a saint, a decision met with criticism by Native activists.
