A federal judge, Christina Snyder, will decide whether a Latin cross on the Los Angeles County seal is a state endorsement of Christianity or just an accurate depiction of a building of historical significance.
Coates said in a trial brief that the cross had been at the San Gabriel Mission since it was built in the late 1700s. Aside from a 22-year period when the cross was removed for repairs after the Whittier earthquake in 1987, stolen and then restored, the cross has been a consistent feature of the mission.
But plaintiffs' attorney Linda Burrow, with Caldwell Leslie & Proctor, told Snyder in court that there is no doubt that county officials are endorsing Christianity and that inclusion of the cross had the effect of "advancing religion."

NO It is not
BTW what they going do with reruns of Adam 12 and Emergency on METV that offensive probably this court case YEAH
Orilly? Don't they endorse things like sodomy and abortion? Can't do that and be Christian. I'd say their actions show that they're actually persecuting Christianity (as you are), rather than endorsing it. So I think that means you can buzz off, you hamster totalitarian with the brain of a college freshman.
A federal judge named Christina is also a huge threat. If she rules against the cross, then her next step should be to change her name.

Fascists and other liberals destroying history one symbol at a time.
I guess Los Angeles will also have to change its name since it mentions angels. Can you imagine how that offends “some” people?
That is a very good analogy. Is she endorsing religion every time she signs her name?

After the events in Paris on 11/13, I will be adding

Dude, it's so much worse than that! The official name of the city is La Ciudad de Nuestra Senora, Reina de Los Angeles. "The City of Our Lady, Queen of the Angels."
Catholic with bells on, in your face. Named after the Blessed Virgin. I wish we had some East Coast town names to match, but our history was wrong for that.
Are they going to change the name of the county - Los Angeles?

Yeah, the city name has to change.
I recommend Los Diablos, to more accurately reflect the majority of its denizens.
Being LA myself
You are so right
They try get rid that YES Cathoic monks founded Los Angeles they can’t rid of it they have change all the name of City of California here
Are you sure it’s not “Reyna” instead of “Reina”?
No it’s Reina
I've seen both. I'm no Spanish expert, but I think "Reyna" is older-style. Spanish and French, and English too, have tended to replace "y" as a vowel with "i" over the centuries. I kind of prefer the y, but I was going by some online dictionary.
I've read that y and i are in some way the same letter. The French word for the letter y is i-Grecque, or "Greek i."
