Please don't tell me that there are those amongst us who are so devoid of humor that they do not appreciate a simple attempt at genealogical humor such as "I want". I mean this could go on ad nauseaum if the beleaguered Germans, etc., all decided to step up and draw the line here, at this point, at this time, at this attempt at making us smile a bit. Life is way too short and this is inconsequential, but funny nonetheless. Patrick J. O'Connor II (mildly grinning in Boston) << I am not sure what kind of message is being sent here, but, to fulfill this request, one had to be an invader, English, (Henry VIII or Oliver Cromwell). Is this message serious or are you trying to raise the passion of an already persecuted Irish who did nothing but defend the land they owned-the faith they worshiped, the children they adored?(English occupation for 700 year beginning with Henry II with the permission of Adrian, the only English Pope-who set the stage for Henry VIII and Oliver Cromwell to devastate Ireland)(beginning of the "troubles") What is the message here? Is it selfish or are you playing tricks with our most sacred history? One of the most insulting statements was "recognized houses of worship"!. The Established Church (Church of Ireland-which stole most Catholic Bishopric Cathedrals) with the tithe order comes to mind.(thankfully ended in 1868) I think you should wander further to explain this message as it brings up painful messages for concerned Irish/Americans. Then you mention "who can read or write"!. Under the English laws, the Irish were not allowed to study, speak "Irish" which some uneducated in the world call Gaelic. Come on now, til now I respected this list-now I am not sure and I am very upset. Fr. Martin J. Murphy III >>
