The reason why Christopher Colum-
bus has not yet been numbered among
the saints may not be generally known.
Il seems that his beatifcation has been
urged for centuries, bat has never been
decreed because his marriage certifi-
cate could not be procured, and conse-
quently his welded life, he leaving q
son (Diego). was considered concubin-
age. Now that the Congregation of
Rites has recently discovered the miss
ing certificates, all obstacles are re-
moved. and ere long we may hear OF
