An interesting question, posted on Columbus Day in the Chicago Tribune (page 11):
Quote:Did Pope Father Columbus, Bankroll Voyage?
Columbus
Please don't tell me you still believe the myth that he discovered America?
Just outside the Roman Catholic St. Anthony's Church in Revere,
Massachusetts stands a statue of...
CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS!
Coincidence?
I think not.
Exactly that!
(Note the semi-papal wave.)
It's all in the blood, the powers at be wanted everyone believe Columbus "discovere" America, so, indeed, everyone believes it.
Why aren't the vikings mentioned? They weren't in the bloodline.
The real question is this, why choose Columbus to supposedly discover the 'new world'?
