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... and since
it was Lent, they were forbidden 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 a catfish.
