Should be fairly self explanatory. Right?
Yes, working heads down on another book. If truth be told, put aside a book 80% done, & started a new one. This one is crying to be done. I have to get it done. So trying to devote as much time to it.
NO, it is NOT a pope book. I think I am done with pope books. Doubt whether I will write another.
This is another Maine Travel Book — & NO, it is NOT about the ‘Bold Coast‘.
Smile. Wish me luck. I need it.

For a start, IF he was a Jew, he used a FAKE NAME! ‘Christophorus‘ (Christopher), as is pretty obvious, has a reference to Christ. It means ‘bearer of Christ‘. It is NOT used by Jews. So we have that for a start. Wow.
The key here is whether him having been Jewish would have changed anything to do with the Vatican. The Vatican played a crucial role in his ‘doings’ & his discoveries. This is all water under the ‘Tiber’ but it could be important.
I am also thinking whether there are any overtly Catholic/Christian colleges, schools or organizations that bear his name. They might now not be too amused.
I am sure there are many working on all of what this means right now. I am intrigued. Wow.
But, then again, can we be sure?
His name bothers me? Did he fake it?
