Hi Teresa------------

it is taken from the Vatican's physical location on the river it is a catch phrase about protestants 'returning" to the Catholic Church

I think that some also call crossing themselves as "crossing the Tiber" too but I am not sure about that

much love-------------knuckle

read the book crossing the tiber. It refers to swimming the tiber river that separates Rome/vatican from the other side.

They are also a "swim Team" on CAF. Not Cepha though because he tried wearing speedos and got banned from there because of it.

LOL!

Actually, I posted a question on membership for reverts and suprosingly, we are allowed!

So I posted this picture of a Cigarette Speed Boat stating that that was how I crossed The Tiber!

Then I demanded my "Crossing The Tiber" T-Shirt!

LOL
