"What the heck is wrong with the dad????"

Must be an Alabama thing (full disclosure: I live here).

In 1921, a Methodist Episcopal Minister (and Klan member), E.R. Stephenson, had an adult daughter that converted to Catholicism and married a Puerto Rican.

Rev. Stephenson celebrated his daughter's wedding by going to the Catholic church a few hours later and killing the priest that performed the ceremony.

Now Methodist-Episcopals have tranny ministers, promote and celebrate gay marriage and gay adoption, and have turned churches into pagan galleries. How times change!

I remember those days here in Maryland. In the early 60s our Methodist pastor had a daughter who married a Catholic. We were treated to regular anti-Catholic digs from time to time after that, which bored our family to death since half our in-laws were Catholic and we didn't want to hear that.

It being the Baby Boom and with many churches expanding, our congregation decided to build a larger sanctuary. Heavy machinery came to excavate the foundation, and a big pile of dirt soon rose up. Turns out, the Catholic Church right next door had also been having a building project. They actually needed some fill dirt; so the contractors worked it out between themselves to move the unwanted excavation material right across the street to the Catholic lot.

From then on, our pastor's triumphalist anti-Catholic rants began thusly: "Hah! That Catholic church next door is built on a good Methodist foundation!"
