Junipero Serra is a somewhat controversial figure. "Both before and after his canonization, Serra's reputation and missionary work during the Spanish occupation have been condemned by critics, who cite alleged mandatory conversions to Catholicism, followed by abuse of the Native American converts."
SAN RAFAEL (CBS SF) — Five people arrested for damaging and tearing down a statue of Saint Junipero Serra last month at the Mission San Rafael Arcángel now face felony vandalism charges.
The vandals joined a group of 40 to 50 protesters Oct. 12 at Saint Raphael’s Catholic Church at 1104 Fifth Ave in San Rafael. They broke from the group’s planned protest to spray red paint on the statue before pulling it off its pedestal.
