"...I always wonder how anyone studying American history could fail to notice — supposing he were just interested in knowing the plain, historical facts about Columbus — that one of the islands Christopher Columbus discovered he named "San Salvador." San Salvador means Holy Saviour! Why would not a person ask himself about that? Why was the first-named island in the new world called Holy Saviour Island?
Columbus crossed the ocean on a boat named "The Santa Maria." Is a girl, Mary, remembered from the first century up to 1492 a hard girl to find out about? Is there any information about the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God, a man in the United States could not get in case he wanted to know? How much does any American student read about Our Blessed Lady?..." - Fr. Feeney
