I’m a-fixing to marry one of you cute Hispanic Catholic ladies. I love how your culture is so centered on children and family and is so much more expressive than my own. :)
Aw shucks! :)
Sadly, although my mother and three sisters are indeed lovely Catholic women, I must admit to being somewhat lapsed (and arguably the least cute). However, I would never denigrate the church or her beliefs, as it’s part of my cultural heritage. Christianity has saved the world many times over. The only Reconquista I acknowledge and admire is that on the Iberian peninsula over the invading Muslims. I wish more “Hispanics” (Catholic or not) would say the same out loud.
Anyhow, all four of us American girls of Hispanic heritage married American men of Italian, Irish, and/or German heritage, and what beautiful children that creates, as well as strong familial bonds. My sisters and I were fortunately blessed here finding decent men to share our lives. But nothing would make me happier than my daughter one day finding a good, God-believing husband out west, because New York isn’t chock full of them.
