"Columbus was not only a good man. He was extraordinary. He was the instrument of extraordinary grace... It is one thing to say that Columbus discovered America. It is something else to realize that he opened the door to the most phenomenal spread of Christianity since the time of St. Paul.... He was the destined herald of the true faith to half of the human race."
--Fr. John A. Hardon, S. J., Christopher Columbus: The Catholic Discovery of America (Eternal Life, 2012), p. 13
