In one of the threads from a while back about this topic, it was also posited that the relative prominence of Catholicism in Australia definitely helped w/the Italians' assimilation process(institutional Australia's then-continuous prejudices against Catholicism notwithstanding)

Yeah Ive often believed that... There may have been some sort of anti-Catholic sentiment amongst some in the Anglosphere but they at least understood what Catholicism was...

As has been pointed out in prior threads, it's why Flogari and Sticca are so hellbent on riding this "assimilation or bust" pale-horse re. in ; growing up effnik(Italian specifically in their case) in AFL-heartland, esp. back in the day..that's what it does to ya. And bc Italian culture is as prevalent as it is worldwide, it wasn't as dependent on football-fandom to keep alive as it was w/the other nashos(in particular the Cros)

I actually think there’s some truth to this, Italian culture has been expressed prevalently in many ways, particularly food etc. where as with some cultures the football has been their only outlet
