Christopher Columbus day is coming up

Have you burned your Columbus in effigy yet?  Just kidding.  The real crisis of our time, as we know, is the great Washington Redskins Scandal of 2013.  History will no doubt judge us harshly.  Heck, it won't have to.  We do that ourselves.   Here's a nice take on Columbus and the Catholic settlements in the New World and N. America.  It's OK, I'm still a fan of the Pilgrims at Plymouth.  It's just nice remembering that they weren't the first to bring the Gospel to the New World.
