Have you ever noticed how the Popes of the Vatican have a propensity to "saint" former Catholic missionaries, priests, who have a history of mass murder, forced conversions, hunting down the "heretics" whose only crime is rejecting Catholicism? I have. Read this one for yet another example:
Pope defends soon-to-be saint vs Native American objections - Yahoo News
ROME (AP) — Pope Francis on Saturday praised the zeal of an 18th-century Franciscan missionary he will make a saint when he visits the United States this fall but whom Native Americans say brutally converted indigenous people to Christianity.
Francis praised Junipero Serra during a homily at a Rome seminary training future priests from North America. The pope will proclaim the Spaniard a saint during a Washington, D.C., ceremony Sept. 23.
Native Americans have protested in California, saying the friar should be criticized for what they contend was his role in wiping out native populations in a campaign to impose Catholicism. They contend he enslaved converts and that missionaries like him helped spread diseases like smallpox which decimated their people.
Francis described Serra as part of a missionary corps who "went out to all the geographical, social and existential peripheries" to spread the Gospel.
"Such zeal excites us," Francis said.

Such zeal excites us? Yes, this kind of sick, satanic zeal has always excited the Vatican and their Popes and this Pope will surely turn out to be the most formidable enemy of the Protestants yet. He's a bloodthirsty wolf if ever I have laid eyes on one. Note that when Francis talks about spreading the Gospel he means the Catholic Gospel. Not the Gospel of Jesus Christ! Take note of the other lie - to spread "Christianity when what they really were doing was attempting to spread "Catholicism".....
