Boudreaux, a Cajun highlander from Rapides Parish in central Louisiana, wasan older, single gentleman, who was born and raised a Baptist, living in South Louisiana.
Each Friday night after work, he would fire up his outdoor grill and cook a venison steak.
Now, all of Boudreaux's neighbors were Catholic and since it was Lent, They were forbidden from eating meat on Fridays. The delicious aroma from the grilled venison steaks was causing such a problem for the Catholic faithful that they finally talked to their priest.
The priest came to visit Boudreaux, and suggested that Boudreaux convert to Catholicism. After several classes and much study, Boudreaux attended Mass and as the priest sprinkled holy water over him, he said, "You were born a Baptist and raised a Baptist, but now you are Catholic."
Boudreaux's neighbors were greatly relieved, until Friday night arrived, and the wonderful aroma of grille d venison filled the neighborhood.
The priest was called immediately by the neighbors and, as he rushed into Boudreaux's yard, clutching a rosary and prepared to scold him, he stopped in amazement and watched.
There stood Boudreaux, clutching a small bottle of water which he carefully sprinkled over the grilling meat, and chanted: "You wuz born a deer, and you wuz raised a deer, but now you a catfish."
I think you are right. Must be related to the scientific principle of conservation of Mass .... and Lent must also be included.
sounds like my bud down in LaRose..same name too.
Season???? No such concept in Cajun Country...
I see what you did there...
You proved that baptism isn’t what creates transformation!
:-)
Good story, btw.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMEN!!!
Good one.
Thanks for the chuckle!
I am glad to have been born and raised in one of the old South confederate states where we can still laugh at each others cultural differences and religious beliefs while still respecting each other as children created by the same G-D. Our character and moral values trump our differences. I feel G-D has blessed us. And laughter is one of his blessings.
It is a shame, the ungodly liberal socialists have neither the character nor morals to understand us. The old devil attempts to divide us with his lies and deception through political correctness. He wants to separate us from G-D who is the foundation of our beliefs and tempts us daily to believe our differences are more important than character and moral values.
Notice how Satan is working to destroy G-D, country, and family in our lives through political correctness and ever more government intervention through unconstitutional executive orders. He needs you to believe. Do not fall for his lies and deceptions. Do not sell your soul to the devil, but serve the righteous master.
G-D bless Texas and the old South.
No fear My Dear, Cajuns don’t give much thought to the Bird Sheriff.
Exactly! I hate whiners, LOL!
Transpose the ‘d’ and the ‘r’ and you have Bourdeaux, which goes better with venison anyway.
Sounds like a Justin Wilson joke!
They do too season in Cajun country, Cajun-style seasoning.
Merry Christmas, and I hope you stay well!
too bad the joke has so many catholic fallacies that it cant be funny. you CAN eat meat on fridays, you choose to refrain as an act of love for Jesus’ bloody flesh that suffered for you. Between Christmas and Epiphany and after Easter, we eat flesh on Fridays because we are celebrating His Becoming flesh, His Resurection. Very logical. Holy water doesn’t make you Catholic, your word does. It just reminds us of that Christian baptism we took long ago and are reminded of as we dip our fingers and trace a cross on us each time we enter a church. you dont HAVE to do that, you just WANT to do that, before God in the Eucharist. The Eucharist was bread and wine before consecration and afterward is of the same chemical substances but per Jesus’ example, is transformed into His Body and Blood...I know like I know God exists, Jesus Resurrected, Mary was immaculately conceived,......mysteries of faith.
the monk ones are funny but monks catholic nuns and monks dont take vows like that.
All your points are correct, but still humorous.
Much like the following:
A Baptist, Presbyterian, and Episcopal minister had a monthly breakfast. One month, they all complained there were bats nesting in their bell towers. They would reconvene the next month and discuss the actions taken, and results.
Upon the next month, the Presbyterian hung his head. He said he went into the bell tower, and shouted at the bats to be gone in the name of the Lord. All the bats remained.
The Baptist went in with his shotgun and started blasting away. Several bats died, but the rest just hid up higher.
The Episcopalian just sat and grinned. When asked why he was grinning, he replied bats no longer occupied his bell tower. Puzzled, they leaned in and asked how this was.
The Episcopalian said, “It was quite easy, really. I baptized and confirmed them, and they haven’t been seen since.”
