I was told once at. A Methodist college I briefly attended that if one has roots from an European heritage, there’s some Catholic in there somewhere. I was shocked I to tell you. Shocked! not...
Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, "Don't do it!" He said, "Nobody loves me." I said, "God loves you. Do you believe in God?"
He said, "Yes." I said, "Are you a Christian or a Jew?" He said, "A Christian." I said, "Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?" He said, "Protestant." I said, "Me, too! What franchise?" He said, "Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?" He said, "Northern Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?"
He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region." I said, "Me, too!"
Northern Conservative†Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912." I said, "Die, heretic!" And I pushed him over.
True. My religious roots eastern US are Mennonite, Quaker, Puritan, Salvation Army, Methodist with some Baptist thrown in. One line of my Michigan roots go back to when the state qmwas Quebec and through them to France. Definitely Catholic only two generations back in that line. Marriages and baptisms in cathedral in Montreal.
My family has been in Michigan 500+ years.
