“Columbus wasn't Spanish, he was Italian…”
Isabella infamous?! Her and her husband successfully drove Muslim invaders from Iberia after nearly 900 years of their occupation. The movement they completed wasn't called the Reconquista for nothing; Spain was Christian before the Muslims came, the 900 year struggle merely made the area Christian once again. Sounds like a good thing to me...
I better stop before this goes too far off topic beyond where you've already lead it.

That's cool! I checked out your site. It appears to be for a good cause. And I am a Catholic by the way.

Are you a practical Catholic male, obedient to the laws and precepts of the Church and over 18? If so, I recommend looking into a council near you. U2U me and I can find a council in your area.

Another thing that I might have going against me in your organization is that I am a celibate, inactive, gay man. This is a "sticky" issue with the Church! But, I am inactive and celibate!

Being gay does not bar you from joining the Knights of Columbus.
What is a practical Catholic?
A practical Catholic is one who is in union with the Holy See and who practices the precepts of the Catholic Church.

I'm kinda/sorta there. All I'd have to do is start going to Church again (it's been months). It's a thought! I could use more friends. When I became celibate I kinda tuned all my old gay friends out. And when you're 43 it's kinda hard to make friends......it's not like when you're a kid out on the playground.
