It was thus arranged that whereas in past times boats would cross from Norway to America for certain purposes (I shall say more about this another time), this knowledge of America would be completely forgotten by the European population, so that the connection with America was gradually obliterated. In the fifteenth century nothing was known of America by European humanity. The development was directed particularly from Rome so that for definite reasons the connection with America was gradually lost, because European humanity had to be sheltered from American influences. Especially involved in this process of protecting European humanity from American influences were just these monks from Ireland who as Irish initiates had spread Christianity over the European continent.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"10.

Und im 15. Jahrhundert wußte ja die europäische Menschheit von Amerika nichts. Namentlich von Rom aus wurde die Entwickelung so dirigiert, daß man aus bestimmten Gründen den Zusammenhang mit Amerika allmählich verlor, weil die europäische Menschheit geschützt werden mußte vor den amerikanischen Einflüssen.
