The Catholic Church is one of the richest institutions in the world. Much of its wealth is derived from the profits of slavery and the exploitation of the natural resources of many countries. The pontiff adds, “I say this to you with regret: Many grave sins were committed against the native people in America in the name of God.” The expiation of those sins can be accomplished by the Church and the families of the Jewish merchants who benefitted from the destruction of Latin America when they jointly repair, through debt relief and reparations, the damage done to the Indigenous peoples.
The pope should negotiate with the international bankers to devise a plan by which just reparations are given to those who have suffered hundreds of years of European oppression, and their lives are made whole again. But good luck with that. Talking with the oppressors of the people is one step in the right direction; however, talk without remedial action is pointless. Minister Farrakhan has asked for a meeting with the leaders of the Jewish community for years. Instead of meeting with him for “a sensible, intelligent dialogue,” they continue to launch a public relations campaign to undermine him in the eyes of the American public. The pope’s call would result in nothing different—unless he joins with The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan for the 20th Anniversary of the Million Man March in Washington, DC, on October 10, 2015, where a clear signal will be sent to the wicked of the world: “Justice, Or Else!”
