Ask the Clergy
Q. "Why aren't the California Bishops questioning not considering church essential to the people? I feel it is bias against our religious rights, it can be argued that liquor stores, casinos, Walmart etc. are no more essential to a person. After 9 months, I need to be in my church for Christmas. I'll travel if I have to. It's just not right."
