which I've read they might do, then Catholics can hold off on Mass for a while!

I know Judaism and Islam both have tenets that if performing religious rites like fasting or pilgrimages are dangerous to health and life, it's OK to not do them. Lives come first.

So many Christians seem desperate to feel like they're martyrs.
