3,000 California Churches Plan To Reopen In Defiance Of Gov. Newsom’s Orders
Daily Caller ^ | May 8, 2020 | Marlo Safi

Posted on 05/08/2020 8:06:36 PM PDT by Jayster

A network of 3,000 California churches are planning to defy Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom’s shutdown orders by reopening for in-person services, Fox News reported Friday.

California Church United pastors, which represents nearly 2.5 million members, announced Thursday that they plan to reopen May 31 instead of waiting for stage 3 reopenings, which includes churches along with businesses like salons and gyms, according to Fox.

The leaders chose May 31 because it marks Pentecost and the birth of the Christian church, making it fitting for a “rebirth” of services.

“Our churches are part of the answer, not part of the problem,” said Danny Carroll, senior pastor at Water of Life Community Church said according to Fox.

“We’re an essential part of this whole journey and we’ve been bypassed … kicked to the curb and deemed nonessential.”

Matt Brown, another California pastor, took issue with the governor’s inclusion of churches as nonessential during the pandemic.

It’s time for the rebirth of the church and the rebirth of the Black Robe Regiment. There are many more battles that need to be fought.

“The shutdown of churches has raised questions about the constitutionality of of such orders”. There is no question. It’s unconstitutional and criminal.

The first amendment guarantees freedom of religion as a right, not a privilege bestowed upon us by the adulterous bastard, gruesome Gavin threesome.

some may remember the Telegraph UK article below, quoting Professor Walter Ricciardi.

World Health Organization: Professor Walter Ricciardi (WHO/Europe)
He currently holds the title of Professor of Hygiene and Public Health at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Rome where he is also Director of the Department of Public Health and Deputy Head of the Faculty of Medicine. In addition to contributing to over 300 academic papers, primarily in the fields of Epidemiology, Health Services Research and Public Health Genomics, he is also Editor of the European Journal of Public Health, of the Oxford Handbook of Public Health Practice and Founding Editor of the Italian Journal of Public Health.
Professor Ricciardi is also active in national health policy and is Chair of the Public Health Section of the Higher Health Council. In 2011 the Minister of Health of Italy appointed him as his representative in the State-Region Committee for the evaluation of the Italian National Health Service. Internationally he is a member of the European Commission expert panel on “Investing in Health” (EXPH), a member of the National Board of Medical Examiners of the United States of America, and has was elected President of the European Public Health Association (EUPHA) from 2010–2014.
Professor Ricciardi joined the EACHR in 2012...

23 Mar: UK Telegraph: Why have so many coronavirus patients died in Italy?
The country’s high death toll is due to an ageing population, overstretched health system and the way fatalities are reported
By Sarah Newey
But Prof Ricciardi (scientific adviser to Italy’s minister of health) added that Italy’s death rate may also appear high because of how doctors record fatalities.
“The way in which we code deaths in our country is very generous in the sense that all the people who die in hospitals with the coronavirus are deemed to be dying of the coronavirus.
“On re-evaluation by the National Institute of Health, only 12 per cent of death certificates have shown a direct causality from coronavirus, while 88 per cent of patients who have died have at least one pre-morbidity - many had two or three,” he says...

FakeNewsMSM, Covid Crisis News (CNN) all the time, ignored the above. however, now there’s this, which appears to only be in Italian-language articles online, except for the following:

VIDEO WITH SUBTITLES: 4 May: RAIR Foundation USA: Italian Leader Slams ‘False Coronavirus Numbers: 25,000 Did Not Die, it’s a way to Impose a Dictatorship’ (Watch)
On Friday, April 24, 2020, Vittorio Sgarbi, a member of the Italian Chamber of Deputies, denounced what he claims are false coronavirus death statistics. Sgarbi feels that fake statistics are being propagated by the government and the media to terrorize the citizens of Italy and establish a dictatorship.
The member of the Forza Italia party slammed the closure of 60% of Italian businesses for 25,000 Chinese-Coronavirus deaths from the floor of the legislature. “It’s not true,” he said. “Don’t use the deaths for rhetoric and terrorism.” According to the National Institute of Health, 96.3% did not die of coronavirus, but of other pathologies stated Sgarbi – which means that only 925 have died from the virus and 24,075 have died of other things claimed Sgarbi, “….the virus was little more than an influenza. Don’t lie! Tell the truth!”...

Sgarbi challenged his colleagues to investigate the real numbers themselves and be united in the reporting the truth...
Watch the exclusively translated RAIR Foundation USA video of Vittorio Sgarbi’s speech...

Sgarbi has been a member of the Italian Parliament several times and also served also in Milan’s municipal government. Sgarbi is also a famous art critic, historian, cultural commentator and television personality (Wikipedia)...

Newsom: “So once again the disobedient pastors gather their hordes together in rallies to have their swastika flag waving adherents shouting in worship of Adolf Hitler and Donald Trump! And they try to hide it by claiming to be Christians. Hypocrites and oppressors of persons of color and LGBTQs, all of them!”

Good!!!
Quarantine is when you restrict the movement of sick people.
Tyranny is when you restrict the movement of healthy people.

28 Apr: Washington Times: Coronavirus hype biggest political hoax in history
by Cheryl K. Chumley
The new coronavirus is real.
The response to the coronavirus is hyped. And in time, this hype will be revealed as politically hoaxed.

In fact, COVID-19 will go down as one of the political world’s biggest, most shamefully overblown, overhyped, overly and irrationally inflated and outright deceptively flawed responses to a health matter in American history, one that was carried largely on the lips of medical professionals who have no business running a national economy or government...

The facts are this: COVID-19 is a real disease that sickens some, proves fatal to others, mostly the elderly — and does nothing to the vast majority.
That’s it...

As time goes by, the answer will only become more and more evident. The coronavirus may be real — but the hype is hoaxed. Now let’s just hope this is a one-time hoax that doesn’t roll around every time flu season approaches.

History repeating itself. A good measure of the spirit of ‘76 came from the pulpits among the colonies.

Church members might consider start taking vitamin D3 as a precaution if they can find any.

I had some idiot tell me the other day that: “ALL you Christians are nothing but a bunch of lunatics.” I responded with: “Naaa....not ALL of us. Some of us will actually fight and shoot back.” He was at a loss for words.

So many potential counts of deprivation of rights under color of law.

The Tree of Liberty is salivating.
