253 – St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Metamora
There’s a joke here somewhere about the leanings of the religious right, but I can’t seem to put my finger on it.
Allen Abel: “This is St. Mary’s Church in Metamora. The attached building at left is the rectory. Here’s a bigger picture.”
Unfortunately I couldn’t find any historical information either online or in my books, but I did find a postcard supposedly from the 1940’s.

The religious right doesn’t want to put their finger on it, either, they like to keep their fingers to themselves.

Or perhaps, “organized religions” are crooked?
