Wow, Lybus. I bet Trad Catholic Parents with marriagable daughters circle you when you show up at Mass. Very beautiful indeed.

Let's see... I would be born to a Christian Samurai family in Japan in the year 1575 and live as a samurai under the Konishi clan. I would start my life long training in the martial arts at the age of 5 and in my teens become a catechist under the direction of the Jesuits like other samurai at the time. During my spare time I would go about destroying Buddhist and Shinto shrines and temples (as my Lord Augustine Konishi would order to do). I would then live to battle and catechize the Koreans in the Korean campaign, battle the anti-catholic pagans and apostates in the Sekigahara and Osaka campaigns. Finally, as a masterless samurai of 62 years, I and my children would die in the last standing defence of Hara castle in the Shimabara Rebellion.

Dont have a lot of time to write, so a few ideas from me:

1.Born in the 13C Scotland, Catholic of course and live a long life, with a peaceful death (rare in those days and place). Would like the gift of languages or music, but would hate to give up my Left Brain-ness..

2.Born and grow up in late 1800's, devout and well to do Catholic family...get to meet Belloc/Chesterton and witness the revival of Catholicism in Britain and the leading lights of the day, inc Manning/Newman, etc.,,,die a peaceful death after long life....

3. Grow up and serve Emperor Carl, try to play a part in reversing history and maintaining the Hapsburg throne......

justa few quick ideas, more to come later, but could not resist getting in on this thread!!! :alcohol:

What you wrote was quite intriguing. I have a respect for the samurai. I would much love it if you would offer some readings on catholic samurai.
