But there was a way to honor our Irish heritage and keep the Orthodox fast. No corned beef or fish 'n' chips or Guinness beef stew, but I made bubble & squeak and slightly-inauthentic Irish soda bread. Everyone gobbled it up, myself included.

Today is St. Patrick's Day, and I have some feelings about it. Some of my ancestors, and fully half of John's, suffered persecution from the British in part for their Catholic faith. I feel like I have let those ancestors down by not being Catholic anymore.

There's probably nothing you could do that wouldn't disappoint some of your ancestors.
ReplyDeleteOn the contrary, I'll bet some of your ancestors are jealous that you left the Catholic church and are blazing your own trail.
