Welcome aboard, postlibyan. I'm glad something you peeked at piqued your interest. (That's one of my favourite words, btw. I'm not sure why, but it is.) I hope you find it (or something similar) again.
If you need anything, please feel free to PM myself or one of the other mods.

Hi Post.
I often hear people mention the "Irish" when they say they are/used to be Catholic. I also hear the same from Italians. Why? I never hear someone say "I'm/ grew up French/Spanish/Brasilian Catholic". Any idea why?

huh. i dunno BaalShemRa. it's just what my family has always said. i usppose ti gets back to some sort of ethnic rivalry during the immigration into the States.
however, towards the end of her life my the neightborhood my grandmother lived in had lots fo Polish immigrants, and i remember going to mass with her. being a Polish Catholic was slightly different than being an Irish Catholic. just a different ... atmosphere.
