Wasn’t the pope supposed to have a terrible May? Do we think that really happened yet?

I think not. Not sure about the hive at large. The diocese were are in has the masking required ON THE PROPERTY. As I was hanging out in the vestibule all by myself (so as not to have to wear a mask in the sanctuary), I was asked by the masked priest if I needed a mask. “No.” Or I could sit in the non-masked designated area with the other lepers —I mean unmasked worshipers. “No thanks.” Then the mass begins, and he makes the statement from the pulpit “ON THE PROPERTY” masks are required. Well duh. I left and sat in my vehicle and waited for my masked family there.

Inside the pews are roped off to maintain distancing. When taking communion, you must wear the mask up the aisle, briefly demask, then remask, immediately. Gag. The whole family has stopped attending Mass in the church.

I had expected some priests to stand up to this madness. No. Cowed completely.

It's awful! They count the number of attendees but the restrictions are keeping Masses empty. It's impossible to sing when you are wearing a mask so I just yank my down. Going up to Communion people stop at the altar and put on hand sanitizer. And the homily always has something to do with the VIRUS. You have to put your paper program in the recycle bin upon exiting--germs, you know. And no gathering to socialize after Mass has ended...just file out the side doors.

I think the Pope had the bad May the same year the drop came down. That was the year it came out all his fellow cardinals from Argentina had been messin around with the kiddies.
