Church doctrine said it would have been wrong to enslave New World Indians because they, unlike Muslims in Africa, did not explicitly reject Christianity. This presented problems for the ne'er-do-well sons of rich Spanish and Portuguese families hoping to establish baronies in the New World. Who would do all the work on their plantations?
Fortunately a theologically correct workaround was devised. The |Encomienda System| allowed indigenous peoples to be enslaved work for los conquistadores in exchange for having their souls saved.
So it's clear that using the reservations as dumping grounds for pedo-priests is in line with tradition and not at all reprehensible.
Ug. Why is this not at all surprising?
