Thanks be to God for blessing us with such a faithful Archbishop in our Archdiocese! May our Blessed Mother keep you under her her precious mantle your Excellency! God Bless!
Joan Lynch books are for history. Statues are how we glorify the ones we choose we like best. Serra operated a plantation worked by indigenous ppl and was overseeing the desecration of their land and ways of life.
Why would someone give this interview a thumbs down???? I thought this was great! His going to the site and doing an exorcism, praying and blessings was amazing! God bless Archbishop Cordileone!
Catholic Answers please keep on talking about our Saints’ lives , work and history as we do not know about them. We need to know these to appreciate them and defend them. Thank you. 🙏👌❤️👍
These spiritual lost natives were in great necessity of the Saintly Catholic Gospel of Truth Of Salvation! Thank you glorious Trinity for Saint Junipero Serra
What a Great Archbishop ! As an Elderly Australian Catholic Gent, U can tell how much this means to Him to Speak of Juniperra Serra, Saying Mass from His Area growing Up Closs by ! Great Job Archbishop, and thank U for Speaking Up about this, When few will? Again, U R So right in Catholics for What we have in Our Faith and can be Proud in a Humble Way ? God Bless U and of Course this Great Saint ! Well done Good and Faithful Servant of God ! Thank u also,for bringing this Interview to Us, Great Job , Congratulations !
This is the first time I've heard this archbishop speak. I'm grateful for his strong defense of the Faith, and especially for his exhortation to have supernatural faith, shown by his urging acts of reparation. I'm nearly 60, grew up in the Church, but never heard of acts of reparation until about 6 years ago. I don't lay blame, but something was certainly lost in the innovations. I'm grateful to be learning what I had missed, and I pray that our youth might receive the full treasure of the Faith. May His Excellency be guided by the Holy Spirit in every matter great and minuscule.
Where are the modern day martyrs protecting Catholic monuments? Jesus took the whip and drove the barbarians out of His Father’s House. Love from Australia 🇦🇺
I believe the Anglo saxons. Because in Latin America you still find many indigenous people, like Mexico,Bolivia, peru,etc. And many Latinos have indigenous ancestry.But in the United states they were almost extinguished. And native Americans are a minority in the United states. And most Anglo saxons don't have native American ancestry. And they put native Americans in reservations. But the Spanish were cruel,too. But not so much compared to the English.
The issue isn't whether St. Junipero Serra was cruel to the natives (as he was clearly not) but the issue is when the vandals will be held to account for their barbarous and treasonous acts. How long will the US allow lawlessness within its own borders? When will the police be used in its primary role which is to enforce the Rule of Law?
the trurh is that the native americans were much better under Spains rule that under US rule, And Junipero was a representative of how natives were protected under Spain Law.
There was no separation from the economic, military and religious systems of Spain. They were all intertwined. The presidio would be established, then the mission, then the pueblo. It was a well practiced system of colonization.
We have the Bible the living word of God Christ manifested in the flesh living his testament consummating it by his blood nothing is lost but your tradition
The Jesuits you mentioned in Paraguay actually aided in a violent revolt against the Spanish missions. The whole Jesuit order was sent back to spain as a punishment and that is why the Franciscans came with Serra. Because it was understood that Serra would not fold as the jesuits did...
The “indians” already knew art, culture, language, astronomy, mathematics, agriculture, religion, . None of these things were introduced by europeans, so what was the real goal? To force them into european customs instead of their own culture. And it was all to sponsor a country in europe that sought world domination and thrived on the exploitation of land and indigenous populations
This defensive attitude we have that refuses to admit that maybe some people did some things that weren't always good is not a good look. "You know, he used corporal punishment BUT that was of its time". My issue here is that it comes across as an unwillingness to say yes that was just wrong, those actions were wrong and we shouldn't celebrate that. Acknowledge the beautiful work our missionaries did but equally if they did some things that were not okay we should acknowledge that and say yes that stuff was not okay. Admittedly the Fr here knows a lot more than I and my quick google search of Saint Juniper Serra some less than savory stuff comes up an example He wrote, "That spiritual fathers should punish their sons, the Indians, with blows appears to be as old as the conquest of the Americas; so general in fact that the saints do not seem to be any exception to the rule." Punishment made clear to the natives "that we, every one of us, came here for the single purpose of doing them good and their eternal salvation." Whilst the motives of Junipero Serra may have been noble the reality is a lot of the natives resisted the Spanish colonisation of their land and were beaten if they were found to be practicing their own religions. This is not just a soldier vs the Saint narrative, a cursory read into accounts shows that as stated in the video Fr Serra was in favour of corporal punishment against the natives and had a very paternalistic view of them which to me and many others is wrong. The natives did not ask for men with guns to come over and bring their religion etc. Even if we know our religion to be the one true way I think acknowledging that spreading it at the tip of a sword and using physical punishment to those of a different culture and religion is wrong and the natives today in my view have every right to feel grievances against the missions and Fr Serra. Again this is not to take away from any positives Fr Serra did either in protecting natives from soldiers etc. It is just to look at the thing as a whole and go okay he did some good but also some questionable stuff as well that we need to acknowledge and not be defensive about. We're Catholics, we can be wrong, we can be on the wrong side of history from time to time, that's okay we're only human. Much love to CA keep doing what you're doing I love your shows even if I don't always agree with everything that is said in them .
Well said. It seems like the Catholic Church doesn’t want to acknowledge their mistake. They tend to overlook on the negative aspect of the mission. Lacks accountability. He did a lot of good missionary work but let’s not forget the enslavement of the Indians. Admit it. You’re trying to make portray Junipero Serra as a perfect person with no blemish or mistakes at all.
@@j.pejoro4909 he did things which were wrong, but he could not have known that they were wrong, so he is not guilty. I agree that it is better to admit this upfront than to minimize it. He was also extremely holy
Please change your thumbnail of St. Junipero Serra with the word "racist" emblazoned across him. As you know, doing something wrong for a just cause isn't right.
Do you realize the French Revolution was a catalyst for our modern world and the way we operate governments separate from religion and monarchy. If the movement resembles the French Revolution then do you represent the religious bourgeoisie?
Abraham Lincoln did not give his life to ending slavery. He gave his life to save the Union. He is quoted many times stating that he will take any measures to save the Union. Even ending slavery as a last resort, he did not care if people were enslaved or not, he was a politician and needed a united country. I keep hearing you discuss history in a very one-sided light. Think bigger, and outside of your own identity
Serra only “protected” his mission as a catholic colonizer and his morals as such, he did not genuinely show care or compassion for the natives, unless it was to benefit the greater scheme of the spanish church. To evangelize the “savages”
Diego, compa, do you know the foundation vows of a Franciscans? The Vows havnt changed in almost 1000 years. To be a Franciscan you must live a simple life. Franciscans have no greed, or thought of your own. Don’t be washed hermano. St. Junipero Serra was a loved Franciscan with the same vows and discipline that has existed in the friars since St. Francis. Much love Hermano.
He was definitively less cruel to them than they were to eachother; for crying out loud, the Amerindians nations practiced cannabalism, human sacrifice, slavery, all sorts of abuses of oneanother, including torture on a regular basis... so whatever he did, it was far gentler than what they were doing to eachother as peoples.
He put the natives in concentration camps. That isn’t good just because he complained about them being killed outright. The genocide started there, not later.

Thank you, Your Excellency, for appearing on Catholic Answers!
Thanks be to God for blessing us with such a faithful Archbishop in our Archdiocese! May our Blessed Mother keep you under her her precious mantle your Excellency! God Bless!
There's nothing better than to be proud of being Catholic🕆
Greetings from Costa Rica👋
Thank you Archbishop Cordileone for standing up for St Serra and for our Catholic faith. God Bless you!
This saint has a wonderful story! My prayers that these radicals leave his statues alone!
Leave all statues alone. Statues stand for history and education. If you want freedom of speech, let us have our freedom too.
Joan Lynch books are for history. Statues are how we glorify the ones we choose we like best. Serra operated a plantation worked by indigenous ppl and was overseeing the desecration of their land and ways of life.
@@mole215 The missions did not treat people "well". Colonization and conversion are hateful, selfish, ways to spread God's message.
We are SO humbled by Archbishop Cordileone's love for our Church!
Outstanding...excellent! Share this everywhere!
Happy Feast Day , St, Junipero Serra.🙏🙏🙏👌. Please pray for us. Amen.🙏🙏🙏
Why would someone give this interview a thumbs down???? I thought this was great! His going to the site and doing an exorcism, praying and blessings was amazing! God bless Archbishop Cordileone!
Why give a thumbs down? Because I don't support genocide.

Agree... Please do it soon.. Even Saint Jude one of the most important Saint His very own life was taken to fulfill the prophecies.
God bless you, Archbishop Cordileone. The church needs more leaders like you.
Thank you Archbishop Cordileone for leading us with courage and clarity!!! God bless you and may our Holy Blessed Mother protect you always❤️❤️
God bless this bishop...

Thank you for discussing this.
You can’t reason with theses people. To them, there is no truth. There is only their truth.
I would totally love an episode on debunking the crusade miths, it would be really informative.

Now's the time we need the Knights of Columbus!
But where are they!!!
You know when I said this political progressive-thinking Catholics said otherwise.
So grateful for this. Thank you!
Three cheers for Archbishop Cordileone!
Start fight back

Guys, can you think about changing your logo? When i see “CA Focus” i think its “California Focus” and so I don’t watch.
Did he force natives to work, dragging them back?
I really like this video. I liked it so much I watched it twice AND booked marked it 😄❤
Who was worse to the native Americans the Spanish or the Anglo Saxon?
I believe the Anglo saxons. Because in Latin America you still find many indigenous people, like Mexico,Bolivia, peru,etc. And many Latinos have indigenous ancestry.But in the United states they were almost extinguished. And native Americans are a minority in the United states. And most Anglo saxons don't have native American ancestry. And they put native Americans in reservations. But the Spanish were cruel,too.

Literally doesn’t matter

Father good day..... Somebody ask here if the animals also has a soul and spirit???
'Sempre Endavant', written in Mallorquín, was his motto. Needs, I hope, no translation
Brave bishop!
This sounds like a hard stretch to paint Serra inna good light as a gentle oppressor.
Thank you for defending the faith while the USCCB cowers to money.

Keep your statues in your church not in the town square, not city hall, not in public. Keep it in the back were you hide the unmarked native graves..
T Collins exactly! Thank you
Bolshevism in our neighborhoods folks.

True!
Abraham Lincoln did not give his life to ending slavery. He gave his life to save the Union. He is quoted many times stating that he will take any measures to save the Union.

You need to read Lincoln's letters. He very much was against slavery.
Serra only “protected” his mission as a catholic colonizer and his morals as such, he did not genuinely show care or compassion for the natives, unless it was to benefit the greater scheme of the spanish church. To evangelize the “savages”

He was definitively less cruel to them than they were to eachother; for crying out loud, the Amerindians nations practiced cannabalism, human sacrifice, slavery, all sorts of abuses of oneanother, including torture on a regular basis... so whatever he did, it was far gentler than what they were doing to eachother as peoples.
