Most of these teaching were from various CCD classes, weekly church visits, and family stories. A second part of this tradition is to attend midnight mass to show respect for the birth of baby Jesus. These teaching are the largest part of my heritage, and I will continue these practices to a family of my own one

Today, however, the Italian and Catholic groups are widely accepted groups of people and have no reason to preach signs of their equality to
