As far as what was done to the Indian Nation / the First Nations, I stand with their rights and the Catholic Church needs to start with make things right for the Indian Nation, and this does not mean just casino owners, the people need help and change across the board. And they deserve their land returned to them.
Yes Pope Francis is a progressive Pope. Yes he is part of bringing in the light to dark places. We as a people created this change however, and that is what I am excited about. The root of all evil in America is the Catholic Church as they killed, oppress, tortured, stole and this pope represents change, healing and a beginning to bring light to all truth and heal all those the Catholic Church has harmed and oppressed over centuries. And did so horrifically, violently and not GODLY.
We don't forget the persecution of witches, actually burned alive and tortured with sick evil, and all because the Catholic Church did not want women of power, women who heal and the people to have the power among themselves.
We cannot heal the wounds of the Catholic Church without making a stand for the Indian Nation and facing the truth of what the Catholic Church did to them. Then we begin to heal.
Pope Francis NEEDS to revoke the Doctrine of Discovery. It is not Saint like to kill mass people in the name of God or for any other reason. It is not Saint like to wipe out an entire culture, steal their land, their gold, their water and on top of that take their language, their religion and their quality of life.
Pope Francis canonizing Junipero Serra as Saint when he was involved in leading a native American genocide is not of my values nor is it something the America people should be happy about.
My joy in Pope Francis coming to America, is because I see the Light. I see the hope and the sign of great change among so many people oppressed. I see a great liberation of races, religions, sexuality and a deeper freedom for all of us worldwide. I see a change n the Catholic Church that represents the Light WINNING.
That does not mean I support anything to do with the Evils or oppressive ways of the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church will fall, will change, will be liberated to the light. And to survive at all they have to open to the light, embrace equality, expose pedophiles and do all the things Pope Francis is doing. The consciousness of We the People around the world has changed, has risen, and either the Catholic Church steps into the light or it falls, plain and simple.
Pope Francis's mass message was good, and of the Light in my opinion. It is time for equality, love, empowering others, and helping without prejudice. However, we need to make it right with the Indian Nation and the crimes of the Catholic Church against the Native Americans needs to be faced, redeemed, admitted and action taken to make it right.
Also it is clearly apparent that the Catholic Church still supports male dominance. There was no female leadership with him. Woman are still kept down in the Catholic Church and this is immoral, unethical and certainly not Godly nor what represents the values of Jesus or us as a people on Mother Earth. The Catholic Church has a long LONG way to go, but I feel Joy at the progress made and the light filtering in.
Pope Francis canonizing Junipero Serra as Saint has other layers such as the motto of Serra, "Keep Moving Forward". Spiritually I feel that this is a bridge to assist Catholics to gently cross, to move forward, a crutch per say. However, doing this and not at least apologizing for the actions of now Saint Junipero Serra is immoral at the very least.
I would personally go so far as to say that Saint Junipero Serra is EVIL, is Dark and there is no place in the hearts of people like me for a Saint who destroyed people, killed people, stole land and participated in a genocide of the First Nations, period.

"With the California Mission's founder about to be named a saint, the church plans to be more sensitive to the heartache natives suffered. With the pope expected to canonize Father Junipero Serra, who founded California’s first nine missions, the Catholic Church has announced plans to address the Native American experience with more sensitivity and truthfulness. A Los Angeles bishop will oversee a review of third- and fourth-grade Catholic school curriculum to ensure it better reflects a contemporary understanding of Native American history, it was announced. Along with the curriculum review, church officials will review displays, signage and training materials used to train docents and guides at the state’s missions. Bishop Edward Clark, auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and a long-time liaison with the state’s Indian communities, will lead the 18- month review, which will include an examination of the cultural content at California missions under church authority. The review will aim for culturally-sensitive and historically accurate enhancements to grade-school portrayals of Indian life, as well as to traditional teaching on the missions themselves, according to the California Catholic Conference. “The mission era gave rise to modern California, but it also gave rise to controversy and to heartache when seen through the eyes of the First Californians,” said Sacramento Bishop Jaime Soto, president of the California Catholic Conference. “For many years, the Indian experience has been ignored or denied, replaced by an incomplete version of history focused more on European colonists than on the original Californians,” he said. The announcement comes on the eve of the canonization of Father Junipero Serra, the 18th century Franciscan priest who helped convert thousands of native Californians to Christianity. Pope Francis is expected to canonize Father Serra on Sept. 23 during his visit to Washington, D.C. “Today, on the verge of Father Serra’s canonization, the time has come to confront that incomplete history and to work with Native American educators, respected historians, Catholic school officials and others to change that and to reflect the best scholarship we can about that era,” said Ken Laverone, provincial vicar of the Franciscan Province of Santa Barbara, a partner in the educational effort. Soto said the initiative will also advise on ways to make the missions relevant for tribal members. “By definition, reconciliation isn’t just about the past, it’s also about the future,” the bishop said. “And the future of California’s missions won’t be complete until tribal members feel welcomed and included in mission life today.” Source http://patch.com/california/palmdesert/catholic-church-revamp-its-teachings-native-american-mission-experience

Babies washing up on shores. REAL BREATHING BABIES. ~ What would Jesus Do? Where is the Holy in all these Holy Wars? Bigger Tables NOT Bigger Walls
People, there is literally BABIES washing up on shore. And our TV is showing us a hateful Immigration War here in America. A war on the people that are escaping HORROR, much of which We are part of, pay for, fight in or condone on some level.
Our military is part of what these folks are fleeing, as is the European military, yet they will not bring in those fleeing from their actions to survive.
People are running from war. Literally from being shot at, near, or their area in this world being bombed. A war that has nothing to do with us real people. Nothing to do with you or with people, families, like you and me in other countries who simply want peace, kindness, love, food, water, warmth and comfort.
These bombs are about Oil, Greed and protecting false values, and a made up monetary system. About fighting for resources in and on Mother Earth that truly there need be no fight, no killing over.
As I believe it is also a galactic, or universal battle of light and dark playing out all over the universe. We can do something, we can dance, love, heal, feed people, and STOP supporting war. STOP funding military invasions and start feeding people. The people of God, of Mother Earth with no borders. God has no border. Jesus has no Border. Buddha has no border. Shamans have no borders.
Our rivers are flooding with poison from Oil companies. The Native Americans are still being persecuted by a white authority. Judges are not obeying law. Toxins are spewed in our air and water with no accountability and all because of Greed.
People, real sacred living breathing humans are washing up on shores to escape events that the U.S along with other countries are partaking in. The military is doing this and what is the real reason? The actually real reason and has it anything to do with the Holy Spirit? Does it support the Dark or support the LIGHT?
The dark is rising, for, let's say it's last fight, and the light will win. I know this and trust the process. However, I do find ways to take action, pray, intention, physical action, awareness, whistle blowing and more. And it is a fact that, as white Americans for the most part, who pay taxes and support war, well this is our life force, our money, our energy. WE, our military, is part of this? And thus our energy. Making a stand for the LIGHT is crucial in my belief.
Those who choose to join the military, and be a part of this cause is a choice. For me personally I do not believe that our military protects us. I don't believe we are truly, TRULY a free people. And I believe our military is made to and paid to do dark things that oppress other nations, starting with the Indian Nation, and the Spanish that were in America before the white folks were.
Noise pollution from jets, killing people in other country's, underwater testing that affect sea life BADLY, and all this to train and go to other countries and terrorize people? And in the name of protecting us? from What? Babies washing up on our shores? They act as if they are protecting us, but from what. Godliness. ..??
Certainly God, the Great Spirit has no need for soldiers of man to go about judging and killing each other's tribes or staking claim over Mother Earth's resources.
God or even life that is more advanced then us from and on other planets can do big things in an instant. Man thinking they are the ones that are to make these choices, is simply futile in the big picture and seriously oppressive in the small picture, the individual life or local community life.
Why spend billions of dollars needed by people to eat, be warm, clothed and sheltered, to go and protect the interest of big oil, to go and terrorize and displace people in other countries in the alleged name of defending them and their land, yet they are washing up dead on our shores, on Europe's shores.
It is not about the REAL People or they would not be running from us and other countries at war in their land to avoid bombs killing them. They risk drowning to get away from this battle that is nothing to do with the lives of real people, people like us.
Send Love. Send Light. Make a Stand if Only in your Own Thoughts, mind and prayers.
I am for Raising the Consciousness of Mother Earth, and her people. ALL of THEM.

Catholic Church to Revamp It's Teachings of the Native American Mission Experience

Synthesis and the Sacred Feminine: Respect for the Great Mother God / Goddess must rise.
"The New Epoch must manifest due respect to the Mother of the World, to the feminine element." ~ Helena Roerich
"The bird of the Spirit of Humanity cannot fly with only one wing.*
The Epoch of Maitreya is the Epoch of the Mother of the World.**"
The Epoch of Maitreya is the Epoch of the Mother of the World.**
It seems the time has come, as we move more fully into the Aquarian Age, working for the Reappearance of the Christ, that we, the worldwide esoteric community, do our utmost to honor the aspect of the Sacred Feminine and restore Her to our everyday consciousness.
Clearly in the works of Agni Yoga the call has gone forth, "The New Epoch must manifest due respect to the Mother of the World, to the feminine element." (Letters of Helena Roerich, Volume One) And, with this, there is much work to be done.
The rebirth of the Christ consciousness requires greater resonance of the feminine aspect within humanity. The new yoga, that of the Yoga of Synthesis asks that we work with the balance of the two energies—the masculine and the feminine; spirit and matter.
The Eastern religions have always kept the flames of the feminine alive with many deities honoring the Mother of the World, but here in the West, a predominantly patriarchal system along with the distortion of materialism, has done great damage. The Master Morya in the Agni Yoga books reminds us of the need for "Golden Balance" and he refers to this fundamental principal as "Dual Origin."
Stirrings of new waves of consciousness can come in unexpected ways. Whether accepted as fact or fiction, the recent popular film and book, "The Da Vinci Code", has rekindled the image of the lost feminine. "The Gospel of Mary Magdalene", translation and commentary by Jeans-Yves Leloup, gives us insight into a female initiate's experience of Christ. This information can set us thinking in new ways about balance and synthesis.
In Esoteric Astrology by Alice Bailey, the Tibetan remarks on the Virgo esoteric keynote which is "I am the Mother and the child, I God, I matter am." He states, "The time has come when you can, if you so choose, proclaim your identity with both divine aspects, matter and spirit, the mother and the child."
It is interesting to go back in history to reflect on the terrible persecution that women have endured. In the Letters of Helena Roerich Volume Two, she reveals that the battle between Lucifer and the Great Brothers had much to do with the degradation of women. "Remarkable is the fact that in order to achieve his [Lucifer's] goal of becoming the full and only ruler of Earth, his chief efforts were directed toward the humiliation of women. He knew that with the demeaning of women, the coarsening and degeneration of humanity was unavoidable."
She goes on to write that with the New Epoch, the incoming energies of Uranus and Venus would bring the "Renaissance of Women."
Certainly we have seen great strides with women's rights in the last decades. The current United Nations Millennium Development Goals address the problem of gender equality in goal three. However, the UN update from 2005 reports that despite improvements, women hold only 16% of parliamentary positions throughout the world today. We need more women in leadership roles.
How can we do our part in the work of the Restoration of the Mother of the World to enable the Reappearance of the Christ?
First, we can recognize the qualities of the Mother and implement them in our daily thoughts, meditation and service. We can deepen our appreciation of the beauty of the feminine image and the subtle energies of the Heart-sacrifice and courage, practicing these in our daily lives.
Another quote from the Letters of Helena Roerich, Volume One is even more sobering as to our responsibility in creating synthesis: "Could the terrors and crimes of today be possible if both Origins had been balanced? In the hands of woman lies the salvation of Humanity and our planet. Woman must realize her significance, the great mission of the Mother of the World. She should be prepared to take responsibilities for the destiny of Humanity." These are powerful words that we need to hear and heed.
Synchronicity in current events can confirm new patterns of group thought. On his recent visit to America, the Iraqi Prime Minister, Nouri Al-Maliki, addressed a joint session of Congress. His words on greater equality and respect for Iraqi women received a standing ovation. Basic human rights that have been denied so many women for so long are now being brought into the light.
It is with these and other subtle changes that we can return the Mother of the World to her sacred throne here on Earth and in so doing make way for the Coming One."
