Christopher Columbus: Hero or Villain? CD

For a long time, Christopher Columbus enjoyed a positive—if slightly simplistic— reputation in America's culture. Even if he didn’t exactly “discover America,” he was still revered as a hero and a key figure in a critical period of Western history. Today, they’re toppling his statues and cursing his name in town squares across the USA. Even Catholic institutions have hidden their monuments to this former hero now branded an “imperialist oppressor,” the arch-villain of woke revisionist history. Can we rescue the memory of Columbus before it gets completely erased? In this audio presentation, Catholic Answers president Christopher Check cuts through the calumnies and reveals the full (and laudable) facts about Columbus: his virtues and failings, his actions and aims, and the immense, almost incomparable significance of his efforts to bring Christian civilization to the New World.
