Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The movement to have Jun'pero Serra declared a saint revived the debate over the impact of the missions on the California Indians. While the movement did begin in 1834, that fact alone does not make A the best answer as it does not fully answer the question. B is false as Pope John Paul II actually beatified Serra in 1988, which is a step towards sainthood. Therefore, C is the best answer as it fully addresses the question and is accurate. D cannot be the correct answer as B is false.
