A Catholic conspiracy?

There was a big public debate about whether booze should be sold at the River Raisin Jazz Festival this weekend. One of our forward-thinking councilmen suggested the idea, saying that some downtown tavern owners could supply the goods with booths at the fest.
The mayor and some others on council didn't think it was a good idea. The mayor said alcohol can lead to problems because people drinking can cause trouble.
Sounds good, but further analysis finds that this might be merely a matter of competition. Those who ventured to the jazz festival might have noticed the four-story inflatable Budweiser can in the parking lot of the Knights of Columbus Hall across the river. It seems the good Catholics there figured the beer they were selling wouldn't pollute the crowd across the footbridge at the jazz fest.
The good Catholics at St. Mary's, which also has the exclusive food concession, also had a LaBatt's tent at the back of their grounds
It's just a coincidence that the mayor is a member of St. Mary's and the K of C.
And, of course, Floral City Beverage was one of the sponsors of the jazz fest. It sure would be embarassing if some downtown tavern owner put up a booth that wasn't selling Anheuser-Busch products -- the kind distributed by Floral City Beverage. Yeah, the owner of Floral City is Catholic too.
It's not like the Da Vinci Code, but if you think about it, it is a little bit scary.
