But more than a theory if you took your homeschooled "one book" education & tried to advance yourself a little farther rather than come here daily & have it spoon fed to you , might be amazed what the world has in store for you when you learn some basic things about Human history & Natural history . After all these encompass your "God's Creation" , so we should think you would lend an attentive ear? More than a theory, its part of the older tradition of Roman Empire's wealthier liesure class that found itself often attempting to transform their usually darker olive skins to white & lighter colored appearance . This was considered a desireable thing and many kinds of applied cosmetics , powders & lotions were in use to make their naturally darker skins lighter . There was an entire industry built up around the use of such cosmetics & perfumes in use from the highest & lowest classes with one central theme of giving the appearance of lighter skin . * We know how hard you slave at trying to sound so gloriously pedantic and how exhausting all this copying & pasting is but why in the world do you keep emphasizing "Italian", "Roman" , "Catholic" so redundantly in the amse sentence when to even someone with sub average intelligence see they are all synonmous ? ( Its really self-evident Roman's are Italians & generally find most Italians are Roman Catholic ! )
