Courthouse cleansing/cursing?
Some years ago I met a young woman who was well-traveled and who had spent much of her youth in Central and South America. She sat at a lunch table with me and spoke of Christian people in those regions who sometimes follow a spiritual path that leads them to weave ancient mystical rituals and beliefs right into their Christian practices with perfect comfort. She said it was particularly prevalent among Roman Catholic believers and charismatic Christian groups. It all sounded a bit weird to one like me, who has never been to these places, though I had no reason to doubt her. I tucked the stories into the back of my mind—until I read this morning about the presence of gypsum powder spread around a Salinas courthouse.
