      This was the standard way to pledge allegiance in many Western nations, including the United States. Hand stretched out and palm upward.
      When the Nazis came to power in Germany they inverted the palm to face downward and pledged to Hitler.
      In response the people of the United States started placing their hands over their hearts. It has been that way ever since.

    You would think, from the anti-Catholic media, that we made them all dress Western and speak English at all times. That last part was meant to he funny, because they are singing Katin hymns, but they are wearing native Chinese outfits and probably could speak Chinese when not in class. I don’t know if there were various dialects, though. Maybe they know those as people in Europe seem to know a number of languages of nations around them-and English.
