Live-streamed Masses without people are a danger and gnostic, Francis rambled during his live-streamed April 17 Mass without people.
He pontificated that the sacraments cannot be virtual, This is not the Church, it's a Church in a difficult situation.
Antonio Socci reminds on Facebook.com that Francis has a pattern of ridiculing those who obey him. The closing of the churches is for Socci the most recent example.
Francis first demanded from the clergy obedience to the State which wanted the closing, and received the Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte.
Now, Francis seems to have changed his position because the faithful are unhappy, and the coronavirus has blacked out the hierarchy, including Francis.
Accordingly, he is dumping the responsibility for the live-streamed "gnostic Church" on the [stupid] bishops who obeyed him.

Step down, Bergoglio!
Not a Catholic, but was so taken by John Paul, didnt agree with him on everything, but he engendered deep respect. I feel so bad that you have to deal with this Pope, , so uninspiring, Im sorry hes wrecking your church.
I do wonder whether he has unresolved psycho-neurological issues.Yes, he’s two-faced, and yes, there’s the manipulative techniques of political peronism, but beyond that it almost looks like some kind of multiple personality disorder. Really, maybe he’s crazy.
