But bear in mind that I'm from the upper Midwest, and spent most of my life here. My cultural norms aren't quite like those of a New Yorker.<br /><br />I've also seen titles of posts and tweets made by folks who seem to be Catholics in an advanced state of combustion. Accepting that they're sincerely upset doesn't mean I need to read their posts. Or want to.<br /><br />My own emotional reaction was, in one case, very mild shock and surprise.<br /><br />Then I remembered that America has never been a "Catholic" country, that most Americans - including, I suspect, at least some Catholics - haven't a clue what being Catholic means: and that the photo-ops seemed to show well-heeled adults having fun at a party.<br /><br />I decided that I'd notice that the well-to-do adults seemed to associate symbols of Catholicism with having a good time. I can think of many worse ways to be perceived.<br /><br />Thanks again for making sense.Brian H. Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13209697542675181894noreply@blogger.com
