It's going to be INCREDIBLY interesting this week - The Big One for us Catholics (Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter Vigil, Easter). My cradle-to-grave mother died 3 weeks almost exactly after my dad in late 2020 (complications of the CHINESE PLAGUE both of them, we think) and, for exactly a year now (flattening the curve you know), my local parish has been HOLLOWED OUT because of this crap. I've attended faithfully throughout, WITHOUT a mask- mom was scared at first (when NONE of us knew what was going on) so stayed away which I didn't begrudge her. I'll be curious to see the Christmas-Easter crowd (for those who don't know, the Catholics In Name ONLY who go ONLY those two days and blow off the WEEKLY and holy day obligations).
Our parish DID have the enforced blue-tape distancing idiotic crap but the diocese (one of 3 in my state of Nebraska) no longer enforces that. I speak from experience as a caregiver and just one who attends - the church (all faiths) is a literal social LIFELINE for the elderly demographic and this is one of the cruelest "make it up as we go along" protocols (liquor stores? abortion clinics? Hell yeah, COME ON IN! Church service? Somebody call 9-1-1! We got us an anti-masker jesus freak!).
At one of the last functions I attended at my old Church, I said that if Moses had had no more faith than the Bishop of the United Methodist Church of Virginia, (Sharma Lewis), he would still be collecting waivers signed at the Red Sea. When I expected my church to "Stand in the Gap", during this covid BS, they told me to watch a zoom service.
“Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.” -Psalms 19:14
There is no such thing as righteous and justified sinning. We must clean up the language we use if we care to distinguish ourselves from the world. Call it stupid, infuriating, nonsensical, despicable, or any other true description of this, but remember the eyes of the nonbeliever are reading what you say.
This fake "church" needs to go belly up.
Amen.
Sit down right in the middle and force them to make a scene.
GOD has not given us a spirit of fear. But of power, love, and a sound mind
This Church is ruled by fear and fear makes us do irrational things and make stupid decisions.
Fake church

New Church.
CCP doesnt care who they manipulate, and some of the church's get more worried about income.
