I understood your point completely (without blinders); I guess I should have responded by saying a statue of Sherman (or Philip Sheridan) would be completely appropriate in Atlanta if the population was pro-Yankee at some point down the road.
Rome hasn’t been “Catholic” in half a century; any American Lutheran (or any other Protestant) would feel quite at home there.
51 million Catholics. 725k protestants. Around a million and a half other orthodox.
That’s the breakdown in Italy currently. My point stands. You are simply being contrary.
