I lived in a town in MA until about 3 years ago. Our town administrator was named Bill. He lived in Orange, MA.
Naturally we called him William of Orange.

But I don't believe his wife was named Mary.

Just one reminder of what the separation of Church and State is really about.

I hear ya. Our Founding Fathers saw all the troubles in Europe and had the foresight to make sure that what you're running into didn't happen here. We can have a R.C. Church on one corner and a Protestant Church on another. I think that says something for our Constitution. Too bad it hasn't worked out for you.

There is a line that goes "Ireland unfree shall never be at peace." So probably not.
