I know that this
will fall on deaf eyes however,
'Right' will always be 'Right'!
And 'Wrong will
always be 'Wrong'!
I must do this or
you would not believe that it is my posting?
I have a little bone
to pick with the new Catholic Pope.
Pope Frances, came
to our land in the East Coast of Indian Country uninvited by the first people
of the land and Canonized an Indian Butcher of thousands of California Indians
and Mexican Natives!
Monday is once again
a day that Catholic's and Christians in this land choose to celebrate
Christopher Columbus, a "Christian" uninvited visitor to this
hemisphere and the butchering of thousands of the 'First People' in South
America!
At the very least,
the Christian, Catholic, Pope, should have gone to the West Coast of Indian
Country and Canonized ' Saint Christopher Columbus' a Christian?
At the time of the
birth of Columbus, that area was of the Catholic Religion?
Columbus was not the
first European explorer to reach the Americas,
(having been
preceded by the Norse expedition led by Leif Ericson in the 11th century).
Norse
Leif Ericson
Christopher Columbus
voyages led to the first lasting European contact with the Americas.
Inaugurating a
period of European exploration, conquest, and colonization that lasted for
several centuries.
Columbus spearheaded
the transatlantic slave trade.
Has been accused by
several historians of initiating the genocide of the Hispaniola natives.
Columbus himself saw
his accomplishments primarily in the light of spreading the Christian religion!
