The Catholic Church ran rampant through Latin America and they are actually now their biggest consituency (which is why the last 2 Popes came from there and/or had served there as Cardinals).

When I went on vacation to Mexico back in '89, I saw the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City. The HUGE plaza in front of the entrance was filled with "pilgrims" who were literally crawling on their knees towards the doors.

You have the same issue with (observant) Irish, French, and Italian (Roman) Catholics.

The U.S. system of racism/white supremacy will temporarily consider some POC as "white". And then the "rules change" and they get thrown under the bus like the rest of the POC. We are watching that bus throw right now.
