Miller’s LA Times editorial on Pope’s “apology”
May 24th, 2007
Go to the LA Times web page to read today’s editorial by Professor Miller about Pope’s Benedict statement yesterday sort of apologizing for comments he made May 13. On May 13, in a speech to Latin American bishops the Pope stated that the forced conversions and oppression of indigenous peoples of the New World purified them and was not an imposition in anyway on their cultures.

With reference to your article in the LA Times, May 24. Given the history of Roman Catholicism, one should not be surprised by what Pope Benedict XVI said in Brazil. In fact, had he said something different, that would be a surprise. The only way the Roman Catholic Church can pretend to be ‘holy’ is by negating its own history.
With warm regards,
Yours sincerely,
