At the 500th anniversary of the conquest of the Americas, Leonardo Boff offers a telling assessment of the impact and future prospects of Christianity. The anniversary has prompted intense soul-searching, especially in Latin America. While church conservatives have called triumphalistically for a "new evangelization" of the continent, others-remembering the ongoing toll among native peoples, blacks, and the poor-have called on the church to free itself from vestiges of its colonial past.
