Vatican Repudiates the Doctrine of Discovery but limits the liability of the Catholic Church

Ya'at'eeh my relatives. On Thursday, March 30, 2023 the Vatican issued a "Joint Statement on the 'Doctrine of Discovery' of the Dicasteries for Culture and Education and for Promoting Integral Human Development". The 9 point statement does repudiate the Doctrine of Discovery but it also takes extraordinary steps to affirm its history and limit the liability of the Catholic Church. Over My Second Cup of Coffee I will read and discuss each point of the Joint Statement. I invite you to join me.
