[OLD REGGIE]

(I guess I should belabor the point, given the audience here, an do the old "role reversal." What if America were mainly founded by Catholics and Orthodox. And they developed public schools which taught about the authority of the Church and had statues of Mary and said the "Abbreviated" version of the Our Father every day. Would you feel like you had to have your kids in a different kind of environment, lest they pick up some irrational Romanism?)

If the United States had been founded by the Catholic Church there wouldn't be any more Protestants than in any other country founded by the RCC. South America, for example. (That is, very few.

Thank your lucky stars you live in a country founded by those dirty Protestants.

And probably a lot fewer abortions too.

(Still illegal in Ireland.)
