Jack in the Box indicated that he was going to leave.
But instead he is back with more irreverent, weird comments about Our Lady.

No Catholic AT ALL should tolerate irreverent remarks about Our Lady.

It has been a long time since I ran across that. If I do run across it again, I will let you know where my sources are. The Jack-in-the-box was also used to poke fun at politicians, but in this case Jack-in-the-box , his handle is used to treat religion as a peripheral agent that pops up for a short time, makes a noise, surprises and scares people and then suddenly disappears. I am anxious to find the source of protestants making fun of Christ in the tabernacle as a clown. If anyone else runs acrossed it, please post it.

Found it! On google I found "Relics of Popery" by Rt. Rev. Abbott Horne. Under child's toys. In the 1500's the first violent reformers gave this title Jac-in-the-box to the Blessed Sacrament and the lid one might find the words, "hocus pocus" a parody of Hoc est Corpus. I believe I read about the Jack-in-the-box in a book that I obtained about Anti-catholic actions using the words popery/popish. It was a very interesting book and old one of how the catholics in the usa during the 1700's and such were being treated and such.

I suspected this person is a Protestant because of the pseudonym he uses/
