Reply to comment by frenetix in Restoring ‘our Christian foundational values’ is the pitch from Mass. GOP gubernatorial nominee by lurker_registered

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!
