To be fair to Renato, I think his idea was more conventional, rather than
bizarre. Bearing in mind that English is not his first language, I understood
him to mean that people shouldn't upset the status quo. Italians are Catholics,
Swedes are Lutherin.....and so on. I don't particularly agree with him, nor do
most of the people on the list. I think he sounds like someone who has never
considered that there might be an alternative path. I would also add that your
situation is uniquely American, and many Europeans find this strange.

Some would disagree, but when we talk about being American, I
believe the term has changed substantially over the last 40 or so years.
Often, instead of continuing to be a melting pot of world peoples, it
has become in varying degrees fragmented into groups of special
interests ( among others being ethnicities, groups, and even religious
entities, etc.) with little interest in assimilating into a general
American culture, while trying to gain maximum funding and political
influence federally or more locally. I'm not saying that America is not
a melting pot entirely, but more to the point that I believe that it has
become more of a me and mine society with only monetary prosperity
linking diverse peoples together in relative harmony.
Well, also true is that many people in the United States are of
mixed national heritage--- as in German-Italian or Greek-Russian-Chinese
or what have you. Many people here might find some attraction within
Nova Roma as being the base of a general Western culture they wish to
have a real connection to while others here with some Italian relation
might be more attracted to Nova Roma as a seeming connection with
ancestral heritage, or those attracted by the universalism of the
Religio.
Nothing being written in stone, I just feel that there are some
signs of a trend away from the traditional image of America and that
some may be seeking to be more in touch with their roots. Just my
opinion and thought for today--- yeah I know it's a little cynical in a
way but...

Salvete,
If I could find my 'Roots' maybe I could follow them somehow. My
family tree goes back to my great, great grandmother. Then all
seems lost. The family gene pool has always had a wide variety in
it, for which I have always been proud. I know not everyone feels
that way, which explains the looks Don and I get when we are out
with Terry and Lapis. Oh well!
I was always told that we are all Roman. I do not consider myself
Roman because I think it is the center of the universe, or because I
can trace my family all the way back to whoever. I believe what I
feel and that means the Roman gods and the Roman virtues and
the Roman way of life.

You did indeed hear back (from me at least, during my year as a Vestal) about the Vestal Virgins. Since
you are living with someone and don't want to observe the rule of celibacy, I don't see how you could
enter the Vestal Order under the present charter.
As for the Pontifex Maximus making you Virgo Maxima, I'm not sure how that can happen until the
celibacy requirement is changed -- if it ever is.
Nothing stops you from dedicating your service to Vesta or holding your own rituals, which we will all
appreciate. But observing the Rituals on behalf of the State in an official capacity is something you cannot
do.
What is needed is obviously a change in the charter of the Vestal Order, since we weren't exactly overrun
with volunteers. Failing that, we need a Society of Vesta or a Sisterhood of Vesta to accomodate the
faithful of Vesta, such as Iunia, who wish to honor Vesta but who simply cannot adhere to the rule of
celibacy. It would be nice if someone -- other than me -- were to propose such a society and send the
proposal to the College of Pontifices.

I agree, I will never join Novaroma, but from now on I will keep on lurking
this list and if some interesting thread comes (in History for example) I
might give my point of view but I will no longer interfere in your
religious matters.

I wish to thank you for your most kind words. Actually it is Hadji that
deserves most of the credit for this series of discussions as he is the
"in country" expert. He is interested in Nova Roma, and in the Roman
History of his country. Those two things alone, make him an extremely
valuable member of Nova Roma, not to mention the fact that he has
supported my few offerings with excellent and detailed information.
Yes, others have mentioned my telling stories by writing a book, but
somehow, when I write a stry it is never quite as good as when I tell a
story, and I am reluctant to do second-best. Perhaps someday I will
have a chance to tell stories to an audience where they can be recorded,
and thereby perhaps get a clue to the mystery that makes writing a story
different from telling one.
Thank you again for your most kind words;

Salve Cypria
I am sorry for boring with my nose in your family history.
Everything you wrote about was very interesting and I thank you.
But please, foregive me that I would like to ask you one more question:
In what a language was written you family history and original notes
about your middle ages relatives? Do you speak Polish? I am asking,
because I wonder if we could understand each other if you will write in
Polish and me in Slovakian language.
