Sins of omissions.

Yes, it is a sorry state of affairs that the leaders of these dioceses aren’t in the forefront. I know why. It’s the money from the govt. They certainly aren’t the types that brought Catholisim to the natives, like Father Marquett, et al.

If parishes don’t have enough room to hold an outdoor service at their usual place of worship, then it is up to them to find a site large enough to hold the service.

The pastor of the church we had been attending not only seems to have no interest in opening, he went full black lives matter on his social media (pointed out by my kids). Probably won’t be returning.

When asked why Protestant pastors in California had loudly protested the state’s Covid-19 restrictions while the leadership of the Catholic Church in the state had silently accepted them, Smith replied: “It could be that [the Protestant pastors] simply have more common sense and courage. If it is because they have more faith, how demoralizing is that? Wouldn't it be a great instance of Christian fraternity if the bishops linked arms with Protestant preachers (and those of other religions) to insist that religious liberty be honored?” “Don't the bishops realize what a scandal it is that those who do not believe in the real presence of Jesus in the sacrament are more zealous to participate in worship than are the Roman Catholic bishops? I wouldn't be surprised if some Catholics begin going to Protestant services precisely to experience Christian community. Will they return?” she added.

Imagine if EVERY Catholic, Orthodox, Jewish, Evangelical, Protestant and, even, Muslim congregations joined together to defy the draconian and UNCONSTITUTIONAL restrictions on religious freedom to meet and worship free from state control! What are they going to do? Arrest and fine everyone? If people are permitted to protest, riot, burn and loot, why can't others join together to worship as they choose? This needs to happen now!

Is not Newsom and his mommy in law ‘holy’ Catholics? How about that Jerry Brown before??? What is NOT acknowledged is that these Democrat Catholics serve a devil led pappy Francis... God is the least of their concerns, and they will reap their own rewards.
