RE: Xi Jinping’s Neutrality
William Shakespeare and Christopher Columbus are both a bit of a hard sale for me on this conversation. Below are sources I would like to share with you that may reveal light as to why I am of this opinion.
1. Shakespeare and the Fading of the Catholic World
Author: Bishop Robert Barron
https://www.ewtn.com/catholicism/library/shakespeare-and-the-fading-of-the-catholic-world-4099
Excerpts:
“My former colleague, the late, great Fr. Edward Oakes, an ardent Bardophile, always argued that Shakespeare himself remains permanently elusive, smiling like the Cheshire cat behind the vividness of his characters and the energy of his dramaturgy.”
“Mindful that the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death (2016) almost exactly coincides with the 500th anniversary of the beginning of the Reformation (2017), I want to make a related though simpler claim, namely, that, whatever his personal religious commitments, the great poet, throughout his work, was indeed mourning the fading of an integrated Catholic milieu.”
2. Excerpt from:
Samuel Eliot Morison and His Catholic Sympathies
Author: John Carrigg
Samuel Eliot Morison and His Catholic Sympathies | EWTN

“After Columbus had discovered the mainland of South America in 1498, he entered in his Journal these words:
“And your Highnesses will win these lands, which are an Other World () and where Christianity will have so much enjoyment and our faith in time so great an increase. All this I say with very honest intent, and because I desire that your Highnesses may be the greatest lords in the world, lords of it all I say; and that all be with much service to and satisfaction of the Holy Trinity.”
To this Morison adds an emphatic Amen:
“Marvelous prophecy, superb faith! At a time when not fifty people of importance in Spain believed in Columbus or valued his discoveries, when the court doubtless hoped that shipwreck or disaster would rid them forever of this importunate Genoese, when his name was cursed on the lips of the Spaniards in Hispaniola, he foresaw the vast revenue that his sovereigns were about to secure. He foretold that Christianity whose area had been shrinking since the rise of Islam, would here win new converts to the Cross, that the Catholic faith was destined to advance triumphantly into Otro Mundo, this Other and New World.””
