Students demand Catholic university denounce Saint Junípero Serra as mass murderer

Students also call on the University of San Diego to replace its mascot, Diego Torero, with a ‘non-human’ one

A coalition of students at the University of San Diego have demanded that administrators denounce Saint Junípero Serra as a mass murderer with a “colonialist legacy.” They also want the Catholic saint’s name stripped from a campus building at the private, Catholic university.

The demand, one of nearly two dozen made by a coalition of black and LGBTQ students calling themselves “Concerned Students at USD,” also demanded that administrators allow “a coalition of native students, staff and faculty” to rename USD’s Serra Hall.

Serra was a Catholic, Franciscan missionary from Spain who arrived in the United States in 1749, and settled among the American Indians in California. With his settlement, he converted, baptized and educated thousands of Indians, but has also been described as practicing a paternalistic and aggressive approach among those he converted.

He was canonized as a saint within the Catholic Church in September, during Pope Francis’ visit to the United States. Though, his elevation to sainthood was not without controversy.

That controversy has extend to the University of San Diego, with Concerned Students at USD alleging Serra’s missions “massacred the vast majority of native peoples in California.”

Michael Gonzalez, a history professor at USD and an expert on Serra, said questions surrounding the Catholic saint’s legacy “defy easy explanation.”

He said in a secular sense, one might see Serra’s mission as colonialism, but that a religious perspective offers a different view.

“But if we use the standards of the era, and employ a religious perspective, the [Spanish] crown and the Franciscans believe they embarked upon a religious quest to establish Christianity in California,” Gonzalez said in an email to The College Fix.
