Ya know for someone who is in VA, I wouldn't go posting uncomplimentary remarks about California & California Catholics if I were you...whole encyclopedias could be written about the immoralities of Virginians & Virginia...starting with adultery in the "A's"
the old adage “people who live in glass houses...” comes to mind. Try cleaning up your own state before you even begin to criticize others'.
Class dismissed!
You missed my point...I know that there are many good Catholics in California...I referring to history when the Church when attempting to admonish nobility gone amiss would put a region under the ban. This would force the citizenry to put pressure on their rulers to come to heel. That’s what I was talking about...I meant no attack on the innocent per se or on good Californians!
Actually I moved from NY State to Virginia but hey you couldn’t know that. Come to think of it, the Catholic church should enact the ban on the churches in Virginia and in all of America!...and all God fearing protestant churches should close their doors!
All church provided services and hospitals should also cease until such time as the immorality of the politicians who are are corrupting this nation be put down by the God fearing people of this nation. We are a representative republic and there-fore each voter is that much more accountable for his own voting
behavior then were the serfs ruled by nobles or errant kings of olden times. And yet even the serfs who feared the loss of succor the Church of old provided could rise up against a noble should he stray too far.
The immoral think in this nation that the sway of power lies with them and that they can try to obliterate the light of Christ from this nation, they can succeed if we let them. Yet as we saw what happened when religious folk came out of the wood-work to put Bush back in office over fears of a national gay marriage acceptance and hate speech legislation amongst other issues, Christian morality is not yet dead in this nation. The Moral persons of this nation have to “set their faces like flints” and pugnaciously put down the immoral leaders of this nation and not be “hoity toity” about it!
