THE REAL HISTORY OF COLUMBUS' VOYAGE
If you check what happened you'll see that about 5 years in advance,
the Liberals in America began their assault on the history of
Columbus, because in 1992 it was going to be the SEMIMILLENNIAL
Anniversary, the 500-year mark of his famous voyage that changed
the world.
In fourteen hundred ninety two, Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
Not even the Liberals could eradicate that sentence. That's how
powerful words are, especially when they RHYME.
It was going to be a big year, and the Liberals could not stand the
thought of missing their chance to instigate a corruptive influence
on our culture, for they believed the time had come. So they began
their project by eliminating all references to Columbus in public
school history curriculum under the excuse that he was a terrible
white ogre and therefore must have been a misogynist to boot.
After all, if he was white, he was a bad guy. Plus, he was a man.
He was their enemy, and that's why they did NOT try to say he
was ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ, because homos are their FRIENDS.
Keep that straight. Pun intended.
They kept it up and got actually ahead of schedule, and were in
success mode by 1990, right on time to squelch any rumblings
of 500 year anniversary parties. They were going to descend on
any such thing like vapid Jєωs from the ADL or Act UP would do.
And their terrorist activities paid off! So there were no parties, and
elementary schools ignored the fact that we ought to remember
the guy who basically put us on the map 500 years ago.
Why did Columbus succeed when others had failed?
It can hardly be claimed that he was the first to successfully sail
across the ocean. But what CAN be claimed is that his voyage
is the one that made all the difference. Why was that? Well, the
voyage of Columbus was the first such voyage across the Atlantic
that was a procession of three ships, the Nina, the Pinta and the
Santa Maria, whose very names proclaimed the fact of the
miraculous appearance of Our Lady of Guadalupe that would
take place in the destination land 39 years hence, in 1531.
The name "Santa Maria" is obvious: Saint Mary.
The other two might not be so obvious: "Nina" means Girl. Well,
when Our Lady appeared on Tepeyac Hill in 1531 to St. Juan Diego,
she was a girl. She appeared as an Aztec princess about 14 years
old, the age Our Lady was when she was overshadowed by the
Holy Ghost and conceived the Incarnation of the Only-Begotten
Son of God in her immaculate womb. This Aztec princess wore
a black sash that traditionally meant she was with child.
And "Pinta" is the least obvious, because it is a curious Spanish
word that is most easily seen as the name of Little Joe Cartright's
horse in Bonanza. He rode a Pinto. It means "painted," but not
literally, rather "something that LOOKS like it was painted, but
it was not painted. It is real." In Spanish, horse is masuline,
caballo, or "el Pinto," but the Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe is
feminine, "la Pinta." What appeared on the fragile tilma of St. Juan
Diego was a feminine image that looked as if it were painted but it
in fact is not painted. It is real.
There were three ships, not two, and not four. Three. And three is
a mystical number. There are three persons in the Blessed Trinity,
and everything in nature that is three in number imitates the Trinity
of the Godhead in some way. And so, this voyage of Columbus was
in a manner of speaking, the voyage of the Blessed Trinity coming
to the land that had waited so long for "Them" to come.
Columbus used colored flags raised on ropes of his "Flagship" to
indicate to the other two ships which mystery of the Rosary they
were currently praying, so that all sailors could be united in
continuous prayer of Our Lady's Holy Rosary. This was the first
voyage to do such a thing across the Atlantic. But you won't
find that in the history books, either. Geee. I wonder why!
Columbus brought a priest with him, who said Mass on board
every morning, and prayed his Breviary daily, and chanted the
hours of monastic life at intervals of every 3 hours around the
clock, 8 of them: Lauds, Prime, Terce, Sext, None, Vespers and
Compline, and the Night Office, sometimes referred to as Vigils.
He chanted the Divine Office. This was also a first for transatlantic
voyages, and no, it's not in the history books.
When they landed on San Salvador Island, they named it after
the Holy Savior, Our Lord Jesus Christ, and what did they do, but
A) Have Mass. B) Evangelize the natives (who couldn't speak
Spanish, yet, that is): We bring you the good news of the Holy
Savior to San Salvador!
This then, is the reason that Columbus succeeded when others
had failed:
~ His voyage with 3 ships was a standing prophesy for the
unprecedented conversion of 9 million Mexicans 39 years in the
future.
~ He and his soldiers prayed the Rosary all the time, without
ceasing.
~ He brought with him prominently the One True Faith and the
Church outside of which there is no salvation.
~ He brought a priest who said daily Mass, prayed the Divine
Office, and sanctified the entire voyage.
~ His was not so much an exploratory voyage of discovery for
Europe as it was a proclamation of Our Lady's Victory at sea of
bringing the Faith across the great ocean and giving the "ignorant
noble American natives" a chance to believe, and be baptized and
thereby saved. And most obviously, you're not going to find that
in the history books.
