“I don’t see how he can deny them admission to the Mission, particularly if it’s run by the Park Service. This is a very strange story. I don’t know anything about Gomez, but it would be interesting to learn more from anybody who knows”
It’s a strange relationship.. the parks/area around the churches are run by the park service (from what my knowledge states) but the actual churches are ran by the Archdioscese. I am endeavoring to get clarification on this, but from what my sources tell me...this is the case.
I see. I know there are some missions in California that function the same way, and there are also some that are more or less separate but where Catholics are allowed to have services on certain days of the year. The same applies to the Orthodox at Fort Ross.
Still, it’s pretty weird; I don’t see how he could prevent them from saying the Rosary there, if that’s all they wanted to do.
I guess I should have read a few more posts before replying. At least we have the same story. LOL
