There’s so much in this article I didn’t know about Columbus and was never taught in school. His voyages were the direct result of the muslim takeover of Constantinople and trade routes. He was opposed by the discriminatory Spanish Deep State. His warnings of impending hurricane doom were ignored, leading to the sinking of 25 treasure laden ships and loss of 500 lives. Only his treasure ship made it to Europe. Hhe was jailed in the New World He was a man of fervent prayer who heard encouraging words by the Spirit. And more.

Of course actual canonization would never of happened. I wasn’t speaking in terms of canonization as a legal effort, or church effort. Just metaphorically

Here is an interesting article about Columbus. Pope Leo XIII admired him.

This professor (link to lecture here) spent a great deal of time researching Columbus and his voyages. Her articles and lectures are an eye-opener. Politically, she does not come across as right-leaning and sounds more left-leaning, but she concludes that Columbus was not the evil man modern-day society believes him to be. In the time of Columbus, Christians believed the Apocalypse was imminent. In preparation, they wanted to save as many souls as possible and put Jerusalem back into the hands of Christians. This was the purpose of Columbus's voyages.

Yes they refer to us as colonizers. How for instance would a friend of mine who came here as a child from Germany in the 50s be held accountable for what happened to the natives in 1850s? Europe is one big example of first nations being pushed out. By the Franks, Visagoths, Huns, Magyars, ect. Fact of life that I think certain peoples need to get over.

Columbus also made big goof-ups, such as identifying the wrong star as Polaris for, oh, a thousand nautical miles or so underway.

But he had amazing intuition.
