On 30 March, the Vatican issued a statement that it was repudiating the Doctrine of Discovery and the 15th Century concepts upon which it was based. “The ‘doctrine of discovery’ is not part of th

Took 'em long enough, the filthy bastards: The Vatican renounces the evil ‘Doctrine of Discovery,’ the centuries-old writings that spelled out #WhiteSupremacy as a ruling strategy centuries ago -- yes, Christian leaders for launching & spreading this ongoing collection of global crimes against humanity.
When will the US Supreme Court do likewise?

"The pathway to Indigenous justice has always been, and continues to be, confounded by the fact that Indigenous dispossession of land and resources underwrites the global economy."

Finally, is the Catholic Church facing its colonising past?

Late to toot about this, but about time that the #doctrineofdiscovery got repudiated. Now, this means #Landback right?

Here's the full statement from the Vatican on the #DoctrineOfDiscovery and its repudiation:
https://press.vatican.va/content/salastampa/en/bollettino/pubblico/2023/03/30/230330b.html
Pope sez: Oopsie. LAND BACK
"Those [Papal bulls] underpin the “Doctrine of Discovery,” a legal concept coined in a 1823 U.S. Supreme Court decision that has come to be understood as meaning that ownership and sovereignty over land passed to Europeans because they “discovered” it.
It was cited as recently as a 2005 Supreme Court decision involving the Oneida Indian Nation written by the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg."
Yes, Indigenous people in the USA have good reason not to revere Ginsburg.

Vatican formally repudiates 'Doctrine of Discovery' used to justify colonization
"In no uncertain terms, the #Church’s magisterium upholds the respect due to every human being. The #CatholicChurch therefore repudiates those concepts that fail to recognize the inherent #HumanRights of #indigenous peoples, including what has become known as the legal and political 'doctrine of discovery.'

For #WaitangiDay I didn't go to any celebrations but I did re-read an article about the #DoctrineOfDiscovery. It was used from 15th and 16th century onwards to justify taking land from indigenous people. It also forms the basis for corporate property laws still used now.

@RadicalAnthro I've listened to Sleydo' of the Wet'suwet'en speak several times. She upholds Wet'suwet'en law on her nation's unceded territory. It conflicts with some, but not all of Canadian law. With deep pockets and influence, although Wet'suwet'en has gained standing in the Supreme Court of Canada with the #Delgamuukw decision, industry is able to outplay #Indigenous law in a judicial system founded on racist frameworks #DoctrineOfDiscovery. Laws of nature, #IndigenousLaw #LandBack

@yehuda ...this would be a great time for Canadians to reevaluate our relationship to the #KingOfCanada, the many treaties signed with #Indigenous Nations, and what reconciliation might really mean when we can agree on the anachronistic nature of the #DoctrineOfDiscovery.
