    I don’t think in that case the baptism is the pretext, just a step in that genocidal process. E.g. it wasn’t the baptisms that caused the Spanish to torture native Californian peoples.

      I think we might be having a bit of miscommunication. By ‘pretext’ I don’t mean the root cause of the action, I mean the excuse given to justify the action.
