What is so pitiful is that Latinos are being duped into the notion that Queen Isabella could even hold a position as low as Christopher Columbus'.
It is true that she financed Columbus' expeditions to the New World but she did not authorize nor condone Columbus' horrific acts. Columbus committed those acts in violation of orders from the Spanish Crown and the Catholic Church. Columbus is guilty of his crimes, Queen Isabella is not guilty of those crimes.
What a pity that so many Latinos are being duped into believing that Queen Isabella was a wrong doer. She was a devout Catholic and she and the Catholic Church offered protection to the natives, and because of these two, today's Latinos exist.
For a Latino to hate the Catholic Church and or Queen Isabella I of Castillo is to hate himself.
