Pope Leo refers to the great man as 'our Columbus'.
I am currently plowing through one of the latest works about him by Taviani.

I see the point of calling him our Columbus as he is Italian/ Spanish/ European .(not sure , so covered all posts) Not American . Also wasn`t he an Invader ? Ok he found a Country and that Country was already occupied . So then . He should have had a couple of hours on the beach , picked up a few souveneirs and got on his boat and gone back home and left the Native Americans in peace .
I know that I have no need to talk as the British invaded almost half the planet .
But that was`nt my fault , I wasn`t born . Then again Britain had it`s fair share of invaders . We dont have Viking days though . Mind you I woudnt mind going raping and pillaging and drinking from a Cow horn and getting away with it like every other "Explorer"
And while I`m here , what makes Italians have the say all and end on Religion as Gods son was an Arab ? Or the fact , that he was all our lord and should`nt be left to some very old men who have an easy life by waving out of a window now and agian and throwing some sermons that are 2000 years out of date .

Columbus was a Christian missionary whose vision was a blessing to the whole world. This has NOTHING to do with Italians having some sort of Religious monopoly. The aboriginies were a bunch of heathen pagans.
U might enjoy reading Power & Secret Of The Jesuits by Fulop-Miller( not a Catholic)

This is the first time I have heard Jesus referred to as an Arab.
When the Pope refers to Columbus as 'ours', he is speaking of him as a Catholic--- not an Italian

Oh, yeh sorry a Catholic . I never thought of Columbus as a Catholic . More of a cigar , raincoated detective kinda guy . Yeh, an Arab . Jerusalem was where he was born . So that is not an Arabic region ? More of a Camel, Lioncloth carpenter kinda guy. (and long hair , and beard , also found in potato`s and bed sheets) Don`t you just love old stories !

I thought Jesus was a lot better in the 39 Steps and the Detectives. Or even Tommy ! Imagine if Jesus came back today (apparently he was due back a few years ago ) how would he like preach the erm .. "Relgion " now . Could`nt really do Twitter or Forums for he would come up against non believers and worse believers!(for thay would`nt really give him a break , they would all want to know what it`s like in heaven and should they follow him on Twitter or Facebook . The Magic tricks would nt go down as well as last time for we now have David Blaine and Paul Daniels (and gold diggin Debbie) . Imagine what the hell would you buy J.C. at X mas ! Not only would it be his Birthday , but his Birthday day erm.. X Mas ! (Me I`d get him an I Pod ) Would he go into the Big Brother House to get his messages across ? X Factor ? Britain`s Got Talent The Great Bake Off ! The Apprentashit ! Blimey . I think it would be a lot worse than last time he turned up . Being cruxified by the likes of the devil himself Simon Cowhell and Sugar !

It's funny you should say that Mr Mustard as I have a "Friend" on facebook (a devout Catholic) who continually posts pictures of JC with the banner, "Share or Like if you love Jesus", the thing is it's always a picture of Robert Powell?! This puts me in a bit of a mine as I don't want to 'like' because I'm not very religious but at the same time I love his work in 'The Italian Job' and 'The Thirty Nine Steps'...
