I have to agree. Many people in California are religious including Roman Catholic, and morality is no different than in other states. There's a misconception about California being immoral or self-centred because of the movie industry, but in my experience it isn't. I can't speak to New York, though.

Hysterical nonsense. SB 360, which passed the state Senate in May, would require priests to report suspicions of child abuse obtained through confession in some circumstances. A priest would be bound to report suspicions of abuse only if the confessor is a fellow priest or an employee of the same institution -- almost all lay people would remain unaffected.Prometheus18 wrote:

Ooo ... I'll alert the media regarding this drastic attack on California's economy!!
