Here is the entire Joint Statement on the “Doctrine of Discovery” issued by the Dicasteries for Culture and Education and for Promoting Integral Human Development:

In case you hadn't heard. The Vatican repudiated the Doctrine of Discovery today. I am doubtful this will have any ramifications of US Supreme Court case law, but it is definitely a step in the right direction.

If you're unfamiliar with the Doctrine of Discovery, here's an explainer I wrote back in 2018. https://t.co/CEDMMOOBl4

Huge news 👇

[Emily McFarlan Miller @emmillerwrites]

This is huge: The Vatican on Thursday responded to the demands of Indigenous peoples and formally repudiated the “Doctrine of Discovery.” https://t.co/b0iWD3AnBe

Enmegahbowh is up against Dorothy Sayers, a totally awesome mystery writer, today in what has to be the *hardest* matchup in this whole saintly smackdown. Give his story a read, though: He holds culture and Christianity together in such interesting ways.

And, yes, you're reading that right: I have back-to-back saints in the bracket this week.

Today's is another one of my very favorite saints: Enmegahbowh, who served on the White Earth Reservation, where I have been volunteering with @hftfn for the past 23 years.

"Only God knows what this year’s Lenten journey will bring us."

#Lent begins this week, and we're looking forward to journeying through the season with these reflections by so many Indigenous leaders we admire.

Amazon is ending its charity donation program, which it says didn’t have enough financial impact.

But some charities say the support “made a huge difference,” and shoppers have expressed disapproval of the decision on social media. https://t.co/CnGG0qJ6IL

Thank you to all of you who have shopped AmazonSmile with Hope for the First Nations as your charity of choice over the years.

And thank you for all the ways you support our work partnering with the people of the White Earth Reservation in Minnesota.

We appreciate you!

[Hope for the First Nations @HFtFN]

Amazon reportedly is ending the AmazonSmile program that donated a portion of purchases to the charity of your choosing because it "has not grown to create the impact that we had originally hoped."

But it did have a big impact for a scrappy little organization like ours.
