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!

I didn't “miss your point”...you just made a poor attempt at trying to make a “point” and because you obviously don't know how the Church operates; you still are.

Putting a “region under the ban” is ridiculous.
The Church is going to punish an entire Catholic regional population because of the mistakes of a few in the hierarchy.

Stick to what you know and let us Catholics deal with our own problems.
