In 1511, Friar Antonio de Montesinos delivered his pivotal sermon, Ego vox clamantis in deserto on the island of Hispaniola, present day Haiti and Dominican Republic, “I am Christ in the desert of this island… you are all in mortal sin… Tell me by what right of justice do you hold these Indians in such a cruel and horrible servitude? On what authority have you waged such detestable wars against these people who dealt quietly and peacefully on their own lands? Wars in which you have destroyed such an infinite number of them by homicides and slaughters never heard of before.”
