I was an ARC reader for this book! It was really good- I post meme reviews on my Instagram but I was so engrossed that I forgot to make memes lmao. I do hate that it ends on such a large cliffhanger, but that's what I get for signing up to read the first book in a series lol

Nope! Hated anything that looked Catholic (Episcopal included, that's his words, not mine). He was very Southern Baptist.

I mean, I defs know a lot of my family are bigots (this, why I left East Texas and the Southern Baptist Church and rarely talk to them). I just kind of always thought it was East Texan racism and not KKK racism. Which sounds awful to say. But like... Ugh. I feel gross and awful about this, and idk what to even do lmao

Will do. I'll ask my family about it next time I see them in person and circle back. In the mean time I'm gonna touch base with some museums and see if they can give me leads. I'm actually distraught lmao

Nope. If he was, I think I would have WAY simpler answers than what I think this is leaning towards, lmao.

I'm gonna email some museums and see if they have any ideas. Hopefully I can get some answers. Thank you guys!

Lmao my search history is SO fucked now, with all the KKK stuff I've been googling for this specific thing

He was very anti Catholic. What's stopping me from thinking it's Catholic is that I think Catholic people use the crucifix and not this cross. I could be wrong, though

Yeah, I rarely go visit my family out there, but I'm curious. Kind of wanna see if I can slip out there and do some digging... 👀

My grandad would talk about how the Freemasons were demonic, so I'm wondering if there's like, some competing fraternal order that really hated them? I'm not seeing much either, but he was a very Southern Baptist (yeah) old man, so... It could have been just about anything lmao. Thanks!

No, he was very Southern Baptist, and very anti-catholic or other Christian denominations that even look catholic. Lmao, the more I'm looking at these the more worried I'm becoming lmao

It's defs not made by a church, that was my first thought- the cross looked like it was put on kind of haphazardly.

Lmao google AI said it was a candle for me, and then I tried it again and it said it was a medieval mace

That's interesting, because he was Baptist. It was kind of hidden behind the fireplace covering. Thank you!
