    Our family is Catholic (pre-Vatican II traditional Latin Rite, erroneously thought of by some as an ‘ultra-conservative splinter group’) and we regard the story of the Puritans at Plymouth Rock to be someone else’s celebration, not ours. We study history from a Catholic perspective and discuss at Thanksgiving the spread of the Catholic Faith in the New World. St. Augustine, Santa Fe and lesser-known places are our equivalent of ‘Plymouth Rock.’ This may sound odd, even to mainstream Catholics who have fully assimilated into the American cultural consensus, but we would feel equally odd celebrating Puritanism. (And what do we eat? Anything we feel like eating! After all, it’s a celebration!)
