"Italians can be rascals just as people in every other race and culture can. That being said, I am Lutheran (Missouri-Synod), but have a firm respect for Catholics and their Pope."
As an Italian and a Catholic I thank you from the bottom of my heart!
I should say I am of Italian desent. Actually Sicilian. Also Irish. Now you know why I am such a mess!
I have grown to respect the Catholic Church over the years and also have a deep respect for devout, practicing, Catholics.
Besides, I like Italians: )
