Inter Caetera's Current Status

[Tomyris]

What is the official status and view on Inter Caetera (aka the Doctrine of Discovery)?

For background on what I am talking about gilderlehrman.org/history-by-era/imperial-rivalries/resources/doctrine-discovery-1493

To quote part of the aforementioned:

The Bull Inter Caetera made headlines again throughout the 1990s and in 2000, when many Catholics petitioned Pope John Paul II to formally revoke it and recognize the human rights of indigenous “non-Christian peoples.”
