Columbus was so altruistic and loyal in his faith that a catholic fraternity by the name of "Knights of Columbus" that host fundraisers, altruistic events, food drives, blood drives, etc, was formed on his behalf, and still operate to this day.


If you're going to slander Christopher Columbus, don't fall for archaic anti-spanish propaganda. If you're trolling, 7/10 got me to respond.
That's a bunch of bullcrap. The fact that Columbus was a rapist, murderous lout is borne out by contemporary (meaning written during the same time period) documentation.
