I tried calling the diocese had to leave a message. I asked the nazi lady greeters would Jesus wear mask? They said YES. The priest said Jesus would deny me entry on Easter Sunday. Even in Texas after the mask mandate is lifted lots of places deny you entry. It’s so depressing. I need a lawyer who would fight this.
Edit: Thanks for all the kind words, advice and support. I really needed it and it helped me tremendously. I will be trying all the ideas below and give an update. Kind of sad I can’t go to my priest but my fellow pedes saved me from despair. God Bless you all.
2nd Update: Got ahold of archdiocese of Houston. The lady I talked to was sympathetic but sent me to a voicemail for ‘complaints’. No reply yet. Also heard from Queen of Angels in Dickinson - Latin Mass - short uber ride away. They will not deny me without a mask! Please support this parish pedes. And thanks to the based pedes who suggested it. They are true Christians! I can also go to confession 30 mins before Mass which helps since I have called the priest a loser faggot and I really shouldn’t have :( Also asked to meet the Bishop. I will continue to fight back. What they did is cruel.
Hello fellow Houstonian! Unfortunately it seems to be a decision made by the archdiocese. You might find a handful that are not fully complying, but our parish is the same way. My brother’s parish is even stricter, they take temperatures at the door and lock the doors after mass starts (people can still leave, but no one can come in late)
You might try emailing the parish office or getting on the list for communion to be brought to you. They are definitely going to be slow about easing up, which is really exasperating. 🙄🙄🙄
