Who Cares about the Flock? Do Souls Matter? Who is Challenging Caesar's Discrimination against Religion?

Hint -- It's not your local bishop with all the money and power backing him up. Actually, I'm not too surprised about that. When you get buckets of hush money from Caesar it has a chilling effect on your willingness to challenge him -- especially when contributions from the flock are AWOL due to your abandoning them to the apocalypse that wasn't. Sadly, many of our bishops these days are more committed to liberal politics than to the faith. Their priorities are more in line with the godless pro-abortion, pro-sodomy, anti-Western culture, liberal Democrat party than the faith, so why not bow down to the gods of climate change and open borders? 

El Paso Bishop Mark Seitz bends the knee to Black Lives Matter an organization committed to destruction of the nuclear family  and  promotion of  sexual depravity. Read their own website if you doubt it! They are a Marxist organization bent on destruction of society including the Church.

Thank you, Pachamama and Gaia, for all your benefits. Save us from coronavirus and from privileged white people who are all racists from the moment of conception due to their skin color. Let's all bend the knee to Black Lives Matter.

Meanwhile, in the midst of all this angst -- who is challenging Caesar to open up the churches and halt the discrimination against people of faith?

The SSPX and orthodox Jews. 

In New Jersey it's an SSPX priest and a rabbi.

In New York who's suing Cuomo and DeBlasio? Two SSPX priests and a trio of orthodox  rabbis. (Read the complaint here.)

Where are our bishops and the USCCB during all of this? Hunkered down in their chanceries social distancing themselves from the stinky sheep except when they are out joining the protests like Bishop Seitz of El Paso and Wilton Gregory of Washington, D.C.  They have shown us very graphically that our faith is non-essential and we can all watch the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass live-streaming on TV forever and ever, Amen. We are encouraged to be shut-ins and the Sunday obligation is kaput! Will we ever see it reinstated? Who knows? Not for the foreseeable future it seems since the god-like Dr. Fauci is predicting a second wave of cornonavirus.

In my own parish, we've been waiting now for First Communion for six weeks. Every child could have received Communion by now at a daily Mass with their entire family in a pew.

Didn't happen.

It's been announced now for July. But wait -- only parents can attend: no siblings, no grandparents, no extended family. That would violate Caesar's rules on how many may gather (unless they're holy patriots protesting with Black Lives Matter). Besides, all but nine pews in the church are restricted so there's no way more than about 30 people can be there at one time. And if things are as they are today, little Johnny and little Mary will be masked and encouraged to receive the Lord of the Universe in their hands.

My daughter, needless to say, is looking for an alternative for our granddaughter to receive her First Holy Communion. 

As for me, I've become a pilgrim going to daily Mass elsewhere most of the time. Today I went to Sacred Heart in Winchester where I was able to kneel for Communion at the Novus Ordo Mass. On Sundays my husband and I continue to go to the fairground for an outdoor high Mass in the ancient form offered by priests from a Maryland SSPX chapel and the seminary in Dillwyn, VA. I have no intention of depriving other parishioners at my own parish of the limited seating in the church. Besides, some in the parish say us old folks should just stay home, especially if we don't wear masks. There are no limits at the outdoor Mass and no mask shaming.

After weeks of daily stress and grief, the decision to remove myself from what feels like an alien land has been a good one. After five days in a row of being "on pilgrimage" going to Mass in other places I realized I needed to continue as often as possible. It makes me sad, but sometimes a little social distancing is not only justified, but necessary.

Yeshua cares for His flock.

Very few are challenging Caesar. Good for those in the article.
