Well, seeing how many Mexicans are Catholic, let’s see if he next denounces the excesses of the Inquisition.
The Inquisition was Spanish!!!! ...not Mejicana!!!!
@GipsyOfNewSpain You do realize that what became MeXico was a province of Spain for hundreds of years ...
@The-Krzyz I also realize what you call ameriKKKa used to belong to England, Spain, Mejico, France, Russia, Mejico (twice on purpose, that much was Stolen), Apaches, Kiowas, Blackfoot, Iroquois, Mohicans, Sioux, Cheyenne, Seminoles... etc, etc, etc. I can continue but you get the Point!!!
Also Calling You Out as Ignorant as any Other trumper... The Greatest Inquisition was before the arrival of Christopher Colombus to the Americas... The Inquisition was a group of institutions within the Catholic Church whose aim was to combat heresy. The Inquisition started in 12th-century France to combat religious dissent, in particular the Cathars and the Waldensians. Other groups investigated later included the Spiritual Franciscans, the Hussites (followers of Jan Hus) and the Beguines. Beginning in the 1250s, inquisitors were generally chosen from members of the Dominican Order, replacing the earlier practice of using local clergy as judges. The term Medieval Inquisition covers these courts up to mid-15th century.
During the Late Middle Ages and the early Renaissance, the concept and scope of the Inquisition significantly expanded in response to the Protestant Reformation and the Catholic Counter-Reformation. It expanded to other European countries, resulting in the Spanish Inquisition and Portuguese Inquisition. The Spanish and Portuguese operated inquisitorial courts. Inquisition in Mexico and Peru was Very Minor and mainly were addressing Indigenous Opposition to the Colonization and not necessarily a Religious Persecution by Catholic Church to what was considered Heretic Disciplines of Christianism.
We are a mockery around the world. The Mexicans should ship him back like Trump did the British Ambassador, except the Brit had Trump down pat and his comments were “leaked”.
Frida was More of a Man than the unpresident will ever be and include the gringo out of place in Mejico.
