In Tonga and Fiji, the Catholic church has been trying to ban Kava for decades. They have a vested interest in the liquor industry there, and Kava cuts down on the sales. No doubt peaceful, friendly people drinking Kava don't have as much to confess on Sundays as do those who guzzle whiskey and beat up folks.
A friend of mine just returned from Tonga and has many stories of using Kava~Kava in the traditional way with the locals. Perhaps I can talk him into writing these up.
