Letter: Stop the slander of Father Serra

Honorable Governor, please send back for re-write AB 338 and stop the slander of Father Serra. Archbishops Salvatore J. Cordileone and Jose H. Gomez publicly defended Father Saint Junipero Serra. They oppose the parts of AB 338 that slander Serra. I agree.

Archbishops criticize ‘outrageous’ claims against St Junipero Serra

A California bill to replace a statue of St. Junipero Serra at the state capitol unfairly slanders the saint’s legacy, two archbishops claimed in a Wall Street Journal op-ed published Sunday, Sept. 12.

Don’t Slander St. Junípero Serra

California lawmakers have passed legislation to replace a statue of St. Junípero Serra at the Capitol in Sacramento with a new monument honoring the state’s native peoples. The Serra statue has been in storage since it was torn down by protesters in July 2020. A humble 18th-century Franciscan priest, Serra would surely approve of a new monument honoring the indigenous Californians he spent his life serving. Unfortunately, the legislature has gone further, slandering his name and pushing a false narrative about the mission period in California.
