Me and the Catholics

With Mary Kate I come to a fork in the road. Like I said she was Catholic and I had been taught all my life that they did things in that church that warn't right. Like worshiping statues and wearing robes and all that.
But I was real attracted to Mary Kate and she asked me to take her to her church eight miles away. I was surprised that Catholics are people too. It warn't all that different when you get down to it. We both loved God and Jesus. One Catholic I got to know was Hobart Holmes. He sort of summed it up for me. He said us Baptists could screw all we wanted to, but we couldn't drink no beer. Now y'all know he wadn't exactly right but he was close. Anyway me and Mary Kate and the kids was regular at the Catholic Church for a year or so until Mary Kate went to New Orleans for a food study course and got hit by a streetcar. Man, did I hate that. Now, I had lost two wives. Father O'Doole asked me to stay on at the church and I did until I met Trixie.
