There was an older Southern man who moved to a small town that was predominantly Catholic. The whole parish made it their mission to save this errant Baptist brother. It took years, but he finally broke down and got baptized into the Catholic Church. At the ceremony, Monsignor O’Cleary proudly proclaimed, “You were born a Baptist; you were raised a Baptist; but now you’re a Catholic.”

He attended church each Sunday, prayed the Rosary, and even learned how to go to confession. Everyone was surprised when they spied their new convert with a huge porterhouse during a Lent fish fry. As they approached him, they waited respectfully for him to finish his mealtime prayers. “You were born a cow; you were raised a cow; but now you’re a fish.”
