I just saw this post. Any old country catholic "do" inevitably involves alcohol and dancing and music. You cannot help but have a good time. This would be an excellent prescription for differences! Like Belloc's little rhyme:
Wherever the Catholic sun doth shine,
There’s always laughter and good red wine.
At least I’ve always found it so.
Benedicamus Domino!
I have partied with Muslims, Jews of the same mindset. Good food, good company, good drink. We regular folks (not the bishops, not the imams, not the politicians, just lay folks living their lives) are more alike than diff.
Maybe we should have more parties together
. I have been invited to Eid celebrations and it's just as wonderful as thanksgiving, Easter, etc.
