2 thoughts on “The Catholic Origins Of Thanksgiving”

  1. That’s the fifth version of the origin of Thanksgiving I’ve encountered. The first one was cited in the article, then there was the Rush Limbaugh version, and then a Reason magazine piece a year or two ago, and now this. They don’t differ much in broad terms, but in finer details which render them all mutually exclusive.

    I prefer the fifth version: Season 15, Episode 13 of South Park, “A History Channel Thanksgiving.” The boys have to write a school report on the origins of Thanksgiving, and “research” it by watching a special on The History Channel (tagline “The History Channel – Where Truth is History”).
