Agressive lesbians are not “visitors”; they’re there to attack all that is holy.

But I guess you’re OK with that.

That’s what the lesbian said.

You’re in good company.

You’ve certainly shown the true face. I guess you don’t really believe in any of the religious threads you post.

Would you consider a home invader to be your visitor?

Would you allow her to molest and abuse your young son, in your own house; or would you protect him with your life?

This is a catholic caucus.

Please stay off of it.

The public liturgical abuses that Italy has seen in recent include a Mass sacrilegiously offered on a surf board, in the water, at the beach, with the priest bare-chested, an outrage that prompted local civil authorities to consider charging the priest with the crime of a public offense against religion. Another priest offered Mass at a park in a rainbow “pride” stole and a skin-tight cycling outfit, and joked when hosts were blown by the wind onto the ground after the consecration.

Yep. That’ll do it.

Could it be that the current pope has contributed to the abandonment of the faith?

The craziest one I've heard of was a "mass" held in a "church" in Germany presided over by someone dressed as a clown. I'm serious. Google for it.

I live in Sicily, where there are many ancient, beautiful churches and Sunday Mass is still well attended. Catholicism's still a "thing" here.

Today's the main celebration of my town's patron saint and it'll be packed with people attending and watching religious processions.

If you want to see what Italy was like 50 years ago, visit Sicily. Very Catholic, very traditional. Very "Old School" in comparison to the rest of Europe. As is currently stands, the vast majority of Sicilians completely reject what some on FR refer to as the "Globohomo Agenda."

Here.

Ragusa is beautiful too. About 1 1/2 hours from where I am.

I love Sicily...been there several times. I’d live there, if I could rip the wife away from the grandkids. The best I can hope for is to winter-over in Taormina at some point. (I’ve even identified a penthouse condo in Giardini Naxos that I would rent). The last time I visited (20 years ago), I took the wife and our kids. We didn’t make it to Caccamo Castle, but we did visit the castle in Erice. I love Sicilian history, the people, the food, the traditions and the traditional living. There’s just so much to explore there.

You certainly live in a beautiful area. (I did a search and thought Ragusa had a patron saint celebration this weekend...I think I was wrong, sorry.)

Yeah, Sicily's gorgeous and Taormina's one of its most beautiful towns. Close to Catania, too, which is a vibrant, cosmopolitan city.

You're right - lots to explore in Sicily and the history is bottomless.

My town's great - stunning views - the one from my roof terrace looks like a hologram. It really is unreal. The people here are lovely too - kind, funny, hospitable and traditional in their views.

No street crime, no crazies living on the street harassing folks, no ferals robbing, raping and assaulting people and none of the insane LGBTQRST/tranny insanity that's infected most of the West. Children can play outside at all hours without fear and old folks are treated with respect and care. And of course, the food and wine's fantastic.

If you take a trip back here, give me a shout.

BTW, you can buy a liveable property in my town for 20-40K. A lot of Americans have recently been buying here. Never saw many Americans in the past - it was mostly Brits. But since President Shitler was "elected" it's become a thing.

Thank you for the offer. I just hope I can get back there for one more trip!
