The writer of the following article is a member of the Culver City Area Interfaith Alliance. While serving as the secretary of that organization, she has never written about the purchase of patron saint medals.

Neither has she written about any government objection to the sale within Culver City of patron saint medals. Indeed, a store not far from the writer sells literature about Catholic theology and about the various patron saints. For some reason, that same bookstore has been overlooked by a man who loves books, a man who was recently among the many candidates for the City Council.
