Now, where from I start? From you, Maria,
Thanks for your kindly words. Yes, I understand Vatican II has been bombshell for many Catholic people. However, my estrangement from Rome came in roundabout way and I do not want to talk about it right here and now.
Barbara,

“I don't know how many Italians are here, but that country is lovely. From which area or city did your ancestors derive, if you know?
Actually, I live in Australia this since 1981. I am originally from Adria (Rovigo) Veneto region, Italy. Thus, I do know where my ancestors came from – Crocetta, Badia Polesine, Italy.
“am sorry you thought I was not polite to arcmode”
No, actually, my feeling was that you, with the rest of the forum, were trying to undermine what arcmode was saying in regard of the Jews. I thought arcmode had a good point there but you, perhaps, thought he [or she?] was too harsh [unchristian] on them. That is all.
Arcmode,
I think you are all right, mate. I gather that you too are from Australia. So now are two of us from down under.
Ciao, Nadir
