Robin Ross6 said:The decision made by the Catholic Church in Carinthia is entirely justified; frankly, I am surprised they didn't act decades ago. Their official statement was quite well-composed.
After all, would we in the USA tolerate foreign interests arriving here to organize political associations on our own soil? I certainly wouldn't.
Whenever Italian right-wingers start whining about the Foibe massacres or the Italian fascists killed by partisans, our own right-wing crowd is right there holding a candle for them and offering tissues...
Neither the official government nor the church in America has much to say against it.
Looking at how people react, if organized multi-day gatherings featuring political speeches and masses were held by Italian fascists in California or Florida, or even in San Diego or Miami, our conservatives, our government, and our clergy would likely be right there joining in.
