This being Massachusetts, does he mean Catholic or ...?

Massachusetts is not catholic, Massachusetts is Puritan, has been since it was founded. There is no room for the pernicious papist influence in our Godly commonwealth!

I found out recently one of my ancestors testified at an inquest in the 1600's. She and three other people investigated why a woman had a miscarriage and two deformed goats were born.

Totally the Quakers fault. 100%

Yay Puritans!

As someone raised Quaker, this is totally a thing. Bible class, deformed goat birthing, worship is just sitting around and not saying anything (except for that hippie lady who just won't STFU) you know, the usual.

The perfect response would be a picture of the Mary Dyer statue with a voiceover.

I hate witches. We need to do another Witch hunt because I swear these devil-worshipping, children snatching, potion brewing, spell casting, witches are more common than ever. Cotton Mather would be spinning in his grave if he saw Salem today!

If so 👏

They've been posting regularly, and with this joke, for a year now. The joke somehow just keeps coming up. It's suprising how frequently his username is relevant.

I wonder if they realized that when they made it? Or has it become far more work than they realized, like the @isKissinger dead yet Twitter account.
