Dear Primos and Friends:
I am sure you all enjoyed the excitement of viewing the activities of
Pope Francis in the United States. Pope Francis canonization of Father
Junipero Serra, a 1700’s Spanish missionary, was a public statement of
the Spanish in the colonization and settlement of the United States.
It is appropriate to point out that Christianity was brought to these
shores by Spanish Catholics in 1492, by Christopher Columbus, not the
pilgrims who came over a hundred years later in 1620.
There is an argument that artifacts have been found which indicate other
countries predating Columbus, such as Chinese, Celtics, and even some
Christian crusaders, etc. in reaching the United States.
However, those visitors did not leave any evidence of a colonizing and
permanent presence.
Whereas the oldest continually occupied city in the United States is St.
Augustine, which recently celebrated its 450 year old Spanish heritage.
There is historic evidence, that Spanish explorer Pedro Menendez founded
St. Augustine in 1565. Do read about the celebration under the EAST
COAST section.
Thanks to the contributions of Dr. C.A. Campos y Escalante, Marcel Gomes
Balla and Jose Antonio Crespo-Frances, this issue is full of articles,
essays, lists, etc. expanding the footprints of the Spanish explorers
throughout the world.
Our task should go beyond defending Christopher Columbus and Father
Junipero Serra, to the realization that our ancestors were remarkable.
They successfully mixed their blood all over the world. Primos, our
Spanish antepasados should be honored and admired, for the important
role they played in spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ all over the
world.
God bless America, Mimi
