Trevor Tomesh ☕(@realDrTT):Columbus attended Mass daily, named the New World for Christ, and died a Third Order Franciscan. The war on his memory didn't begin with historians — it began with 19th-century nativists who couldn't stand Catholic immigrants claiming an American hero. The Knights of Columbus (of which I am a proud member) took his name as a rebuke to that bigotry. The hatred was never about 1492. It was about Rome. Happy Columbus Day! May we forever honor his memory!
