He was known as Pietro Scotto until changing his name to Pietro Colombo to hide his family identity while a navigator in the service of a Mediterranean pirate named Vincenzo Colombo. During his Portuguese sojourn he was known as Pedro Colom. Later in Spain he was known as Pedro Colón until he changed his name to Cristóbal Colón following his induction into a lay Catholic group. The English-speaking world today knows him as Christopher Columbus. Columbus is a European American historical icon, the first European American. I advocate his canonization. http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/03/09/2510789.htm - Luis Magno Wed, 14 Oct 2009 07:15:41 +0100 http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/history/american/2076-celebrating-columbus-day#comment-5240 "My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge."

I have visited his childhood home in Genoa. Columbus Day is a great day for the Genoese! :) - Florida Warren Mon, 12 Oct 2009 15:42:49 +0100 http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/history/american/2076-celebrating-columbus-day#comment-5236 He came to America to bring the Holy Gospel to the natives.:) - Lee Gonzales Mon, 12 Oct 2009 14:26:50 +0100
