I'm not even Italian! I'm of English descent, adopted and raised by American Irish in Minnesota around a ton of Germans and other Germanic types both Catholic and Lutheran, in the midst of which I was culturally adopted by the Puerto Rican contingent at university.<BR/><BR/>The Cuban thing probably came from my mentioning Senteria on your blog, which although primarily Cuban is also found among PRs too.<BR/><BR/>I think it's interesting that you come to Lutheranism from "the old religion" in Italy, whereas I and the other blogger I mentioned started from Roman Catholicism, which in my view now is simply the state religion of the (Western) Roman Empire morphed into a Christian veneer and outlasting its Empire -- both, one might say, Italian paganism, in the older general sense of the word, as these days Pagan as a proper adjective seems more associated with Wicca and other witchcraft traditions.<BR/><BR/>Right now I'd love a cup of Cuban coffee though!Past Elderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10541968132598367551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36100279.post-40112517840851500122007-11-09T22:40:00.000-06:002007-11-09T22:40:00.000-06:00Wait, PE....are you saying you were streghe too?Yo...Wait, PE....are you saying you were streghe too?<BR/><BR/>You told me about your background a bit, and all the different people in your area, but for some reason I thought you were cuban!Lutheran Lucciolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06207851105681940388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36100279.post-66922164845918421072007-11-09T22:17:00.000-06:002007-11-09T22:17:00.000-06:00Hey, I didn't even know you were posting on your b...Hey, I didn't even know you were posting on your blog!<BR/>Thanks for the mention.
