Does this make me a real Puritan, or just an idiot?

[Pilgrim]

A few weeks ago, I had a morning appointment in the Central Business District of New Orleans. Once it was over, I had some free time in the middle of the day. I decided to go to the French Quarter (which is nearby) and check out some of the bookstores that I hadn't yet visited. I was walking toward Pirate's Alley on the way to Faulkner House Books and saw a big sign that read "Church Zone." I knew of the Vieux Carre Baptist church, which is a solid evangelical church, from what I understand. But it is a few blocks away. I don't think I realized what the sign was referring to until after I left the store.

Those of you familiar with the French Quarter will know that Pirates Alley runs right alongside St. Louis Cathedral, the oldest continuously operating cathedral in the USA. And when I was about to enter Pirates Alley, I think I noticed the back of the building before I even saw the Church Zone sign. It's one of the more instantly recognizable New Orleans landmarks. Well, I guess when I saw the church sign, I was looking for a "True Church"!!!

I don't know anything about New Orleans, but this is my new favorite Puritanboard thread title ever.

You make a fine Protestant. Yes, a fine specimen of a Protestant you are. Fine, fine!

I remember visiting New Orleans a few years ago. I didn't know about those book stores. I remember said Cathedral.
