Rus: I went to St. Francis! High school, that is. The Jesuits are instinctively mistrustful of Franciscans, especially with that “give up all your earthly possessions” nonsense. What’s up with that?
I am still not getting my head around a Jewish girl trying to lead you to Catholicism. Did she feel you weren’t a good fit for Judaism?
And who is this Sai Baba guy? He’s not the guy who invented Hawaiian BBQ, is he?

January 1, 2008 at 9:32 AM #127152NotCrankyParticipantShe wanted to marry an “American as Apple Pie”, Christian.
I looked the part, so she went to work on me. She did eventually succeed with someone else. Sai Baba was a guru with an AFRO, her guru. You can Google him, he is the guy dressed in Hare Krishna orange. It would not surprise me if modern day gurus were hawking BBQ-Sauce.Maybe this guess as to her motivations will help you understand..
I think the girl was grateful that American, Christian boys had saved her relatives from Hitler but also was rebelling against her own traditions…except for the part about not shaving her under arms.January 1, 2008 at 9:32 AM #127311NotCrankyParticipantShe wanted to marry an “American as Apple Pie”, Christian.

She was doing the same thing (rebelling against her parents and nice Jewish boys). I guess in her opinion nothing was worse than a not-so-nice Catholic boy (I was driving a muscle car at the time and had less than a pleasant personality). She appeared to be right, since her mom took an almost instant loathing to me. Good times.
Speaking of American Christian boys and the Third Reich: My dad and uncle were both forbidden to join the Army as that might entail fighting in Europe and possibly killing Germans. My Grandma was perfectly okay with them fighting with the Marines in the Pacific, though. I won’t get into any theories on that line of thinking.
Hey, Rus, happy new year. Hope you have a happy and prosperous new year.
