We bade a fond adieu to the scattered minions of ELCA.
Now it is time to tell the truth about the syphilitic leader of the Germans who landed in St. Louis and began lying even faster than before. Martin Stephan was already a syphilis warrior in the Old Country. He abandoned his whole family, except the eldest son, and had his pastor pals - including Walther - sign a statement before the New Orleans landing, making him Bishop Stephan.
Stephan called Walther "a fox," though it was a better title than "RAT." CFW was the youngest of the clergy and always eager to be the boss and sheriff. Strange how Walther did not discern the adultery of his bishop until he formed a seething riot shipped down to Perryville, Missouri, leading the mass (secular sense) and stealing the gold, land, books, and clothing.
Stephan carried syphilis, a loathsome disease, but Walther carried two grandchildren of his father, and chased around Europe, and landed them in St. Louis. CFW was not only a felon and kidnapper. He involved his future mother-in-law with the crime and changed his ticket to leave the Fatherland 10 days later. She was in the hoosegow for his crime while Ferdy was playing hide-and-seek.

This is the implied beauty of CFW, his birth, his speed in going places, and his monumental cover-up. |
