In 1782, Benjamin Franklin created a newspaper featuring a gory tale of a dastardly English plot to pay Native Americans for colonials’ scalps. He distributed the newspaper to his friends, and they forwarded it on to theirs, and before long, the gruesome story had made it into other papers.

In 1452, another pope, Nicholas V, issued Dum Diversas (‘Until Different’), a papal bull endorsing the enslavement of ‘Saracens, pagans and any other unbelievers’. In 1513, this was used by Spain to claim a God-given right to seize the lands of the New World, waging bloody and terrible wars of conquest to subdue the Aztecs, Inca, Maya and other nations of South America. But these were just wars: popes and monarchs agreed.
