Pope Alezzander VI, gave divine-rite to the Kings of Spain, and Portugal, to what was then The New World.

Ever since the Israelites, claimed their god told them Canaan, was their promised land. The Judaic holy people have considered they could take any land they wanted, and the indigenous peoples had no rights to any land; it all belonged to the Judaic Their god told them so!

Go see the historic story "Out of Africa". The divine-rite, of other European countries traces back to the Holy Roman Empire; when Judaic Christianity first started to spread over Europe.

Look how the Boers (Dutch) established the horrific apartite government of South Africa! Just check your history books!
