Kyrie eleison
Ping.
It was sad how most churches just gave in without even a fight.
While I’m not personally keen on large indoor gatherings, I’m not sure how the government overrides the right to assembly in 1A because of Covid.
The Constitution is the law of the land.
the local/county state governments have zero rights in telling Churches when they can and cannot meet or how many can meet same goes with the federal government too.
They have no legal authority in mask mandates or anything tyrannical connected with the FUD phony China virus.
If Churches themselves, want to implement their very own rules restrictions regulations mandates they most certainly can but not the long arm of the Government not now not never.
American Christians, must stand against this tyranny religious/ freedom liberty the God given rights, to freely worship praise our God is the most sacred right in the whole entire nation it’s what separates us from the Communist marxist socialist statist nations and the Satanist pagan heathen.
Been praying for a few Maccabees to rise up through the church. To my dismay they folded like the lukewarm church of Laodecia should. It’s prophetic and biblical.
Jesus stands at the door and knocks and the government and church demand he wears a mask and get His temperature taken.
I would think that in particular, orders that limit the number of people inside a church to anything besides a percentage of normal capacity, say, 25%, or whatever is needed to accommodate 6 foot “distancing”, could easily be thrown out when large retail stores are allowed to let in (typically) a given % of capacity.
The idea that a church that can easily accommodate 1000 worshippers should be limited to 25, or, like Pritzker’s ridiculous initial limit, 10 people, in a church no matter how large, is absurd. It’s not even worthy of an orangutan.
...and the free exercise, thereof...
Free, as in unencumbered, open.
Pretty straight forward.
Unless, it’s a tax.
Oh, wait just one minute Chief Roberts, churches don’t pay taxes.
No sympathy.
These churches were silent in the face if this spreading fascism by the left .
This is what happens when you pander to BLM and Democrats.
