Boudreaux the Baptist Boudreaux, a Cajun highlander from Rapides
Parish in central Louisiana , was an 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... 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 grilled 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 is a catfish."
