Bartolome de las Casas was a holy man.......I remember reading that Colombus used a lunar eclipse to confuse the natives into thinking that he was a god of such power that the natives should submit to his will.......I guess that is certainly worth a shot esp if the alternative is to be eaten.....Thanks and very interesting!

Thanks! That's an interesting tale – I guess it too may be in Las Casas' text.
I believe I saw this on an EWTN documentary. Thanks!
