Just curious - this comment reminds me of the "happy Christmas" controversy in the US - what do those who object to these wishes say about facing "In God We Trust" everyday on money, and the president being sworn in on the Bible?

It dates to the 1870s, the priest appears to be American, and I loved both Austria and Vienna when I spent the summer in Europe many long years ago. Its people were the friendliest of all.

Oh, if I could I would go, too, move to FL...I agree on the Viennans, and it's a nice city, but to me the entire country lacks an essential feature - the sea.

Don't get me started on those non-believers who forget that our country was founded on religious principles... I still believe in a republic where the majority rules.

The lack of a sea makes Austria even more appealing to me. I am not a water baby and enjoy only the sound of water lapping against the shore. Sitting lakeside without messy sand would suit me fine, but spending a vacation touring historic sites is much more fun for me -- when I could walk without pain, that is.
