Saint Junipero Serra was born on the island of Mallorca on 24-November-1713. People accuse him of genocide, of murdering California native Americans. I am pretty sure that he was not aware of germ theory, which was developed long after he died. He thought he was doing the right thing.
Today Pope Francis visited Washington DC. During a mass at the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, he canonized Junipero Serra. This was the first canonization performed in the United States.
