Nota Bene: Well that's Latin, not Italian, but if you pronounce the "e" as a long "a" and emphasize it, the phrase sounds Italian. I wanted to make clear that it was our new German friend, and not we, prisoners to our "false American politeness," who was speaking ill of Italian Catholicism. With our strong sense of political correctness, we would never make generalizations about all Italians. More importantly, and seriously, though, after many years at Notre Dame, we have a great deal of respect for Catholics, Italian or otherwise.
