Louisiana’s usage of the term “parish” for a geographic region or local government dates back to the French colonial and Spanish colonial periods and is connected to ecclesiastical parishes.
I’m aware but if we’re talking about buildings built in the backs of inhumane acts then religion tops all but race and I’m pretty sure there would be a different reaction if it were a church burning down.
In Louisiana, they call their counties “parishes.” It has nothing to do with religion lol

The origin of the word ‘county’ is:
It no longer has anything to do with feudalism, just like parish has nothing to do with religion anymore.

Oh I thought you were saying previously that it was burned due to a religious affiliation with the parish, I misunderstood your last sentence
