Everybody knows that it was the Irish monks who discovered North America. By the sixth century Saint Brendan was saying mass in Iceland, Greenland, and North America. This they did while saving civilization.
Yours in Christ,
Monsignor McBedford

There’s no real proof for any European discovery of America before Columbus. There MAY have been — most likely yes the Vikings, Irish etc. could have found parts of N Am, but the only one for which we have definite proof and who had the lasting historical impression and who set up contacts was Signor Columbus
