Most of the time Popes are not even Christians, they are just kings like any other. If you want to understand what real Christianity is, read the Bible.
Besides, Amerindians have always been considered humans by the Catholic Church. The Pope clearly stated that Amerindians have souls in its document Sublimis Deus, published in 1537.

I have read the Bible. Amerindians were not always considered as having souls , only when the Pope officially stated , and it is from that date , the slave traders of Americas started to seek for slaves in Africa , where people supposedly didn't have souls.
