The
president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso
, has described as "surprising" that
Pope Francis
has asked Mexico for forgiveness for the "sins" of the Church during evangelization in times of the
conquest of America
.
This has been reported in statements to the media, in
Washington
, during the third day of his institutional trip to the United States, when asked about the letter that Pope Francis has sent to the Mexican clergy in which he urges them to recognize the "personal and social sins" that the Church committed during this period.
"It surprises me that a Catholic who speaks Spanish speaks like this in turn of a legacy like ours, which was to bring Spanish precisely, and through the missions, Catholicism and, therefore,
civilization and freedom to the continent American,
"said the Madrid leader.
Ayuso has traveled to the United States for an institutional trip in which one of his objectives is to
defend Spain's legacy in America

"alarming" growth of "indigenism and populism
