The relations between Colombo and the Pope than to discover the new world we have to explain that the Papal States, with the bull of 1493 divided between the two economic powers, the political era, Spain and Portugal, the new lands discovered the subject of evangelization. Even relations with Julius II continued, where the new pope sees Christopher Columbus as his legate natural tantoché Columbus gets to personally choose the missionaries to carry with you in the new world. Franciscan clear from the archives as the bubble breaks down completely the argument that Columbus was aware that he actually discovered a new world.
Colombo's intention to embark on his adventure, it was the Spanish Franciscan studies of Ramon Llull, which Columbus had access to entering the Franciscan tertiary. Raymond Lull had already developed scientific theories, based on the study of tides, under which he clearly expressed his belief that the earth was not flat but spherical. Columbus was well acquainted with the theories of Lully. Cade then one of the bases upon which the alleged ignorance of Columbus and its key geographical error.
The support of the Colombian Spanish adventure was far from random. Christopher Columbus, a Franciscan, is presented as Papal Legate at the Franciscan Queen Isabella. The Franciscans and the bond with the papacy was the glue so true, historically documented between Colombo and its lenders.
"The Confessor", the documents of the Franciscan witness in a historic, indelible and incontrovertible the fundamental role of the Franciscans themselves in discovering the new world. They accompanied Columbus during all trips, carrying with him the true purpose of the trip, that the evangelization of a new land already known, as announced by Isaiah in the Bible.
Images of Columbus, we have to say that the systematic erasure of the truth about Columbus is also passed through the dissemination of contradictory images of Columbus, but never really represented as a Franciscan, for which the discovery of the New World was primarily a mission. Just a Franciscan from the archive comes to us the only real image of Columbus, far from the despicable Admiral handed down by history. You can see the image by visiting Facebook and searching for the Christopher Columbus Committee pro.
was very strange by the official historians attribute to other people a premature discovery of the new world. These Phoenicians, Normans and other peoples of sailors who, according to official history, they would go away leaving traces of their passage. A version that does not stand if we think that the same people mentioned have winning attitudes in all other places where they arrived. This is even more true when we think of the amount of gold and other treasures found in new lands. In reality it is a manipulation of history to steal at Colombo's discovery that he possesses.
In Jerusalem, there occurred the first meeting between Christopher
Columbus and the Franciscans. Columbus will become a Franciscan tertiary, that is secular, but belonged to the Franciscan.
