Tweaked history has "forgotten" all this in order to d e m o n i z e those of Wt Anglo-Saxon ancestry and point blame at them for taking over native populations in N America. The Spanish explorers covered South to North America first. One good thing: they brought horses.
Thank you for your reminder. At another SubStack site recently, an Anglican Priest claimed that he is also aligned with Roman Catholicism and described his certainty that the Church founded upon Cepheus/Peter, was the “rock” and “…the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.” Meanwhile, readers know all about the Dark Ages, Luther’s 95 issues against Rome, the non-Biblical Crusades initiated by Urban’s Papal Bull, the “church’s” actions in Spain and now, with your reminder, the un-Christlike actions by representatives of the “Church” in South America & wherever Gold/Silver/gems could be found…or were previously possessed.
Some 40 years ago I was blessed to be in the Continental Singers and part of our tour included going to Cuzco and Machu Picchu in Peru. It remains one of the most amazing sights I have ever seen, a testament to God's power and beauty.
A necessary and sharply pointed reminder that “Amor conquista todo” but God makes even the wrath of man to praise Him. Note the power of disease in this case—greater than the schemes, ambitions and evil hearts of the Spanish warriors.
