Here ya go. What more do you need, truly?



Got to get the butts in the seats, or we will have to get real jobs!

Unless religious leaders reopen the churches, they will appear to value earthly above eternal life. Like grocery stores, churches can be kept open in a manner consistent with public health. Drive-up confessions, in which the priest is kept at a safe distance from the penitent, are already occurring. Masses can be conducted in a way that keeps congregants six feet apart—more social distancing than one sees in the supermarket, or on the subway or sidewalk. Just as priests serving under St. Charles Borromeo once held their fingers in flame after giving the eucharist to the sick, priests today can use hand sanitizer before and after administering the sacrament.

They have done a lot of this in the past, taking gifts, playing music, putting on plays, reading sessions, and I thought it was commendable.

But I couldn't make him see that at this time, they needed to stay away from helpless people that could be infected.

He did say that it was not his decision, his pastor was leading them.

I pray to God that the nursing homes keep them out.
