For the second year in a row, Pope Francis has canceled the Roman tradition of a public gathering at the Spanish Steps on Dec. 8 to venerate a statue of the Immaculate Conception due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Holy See press office announced on Nov. 27 that instead of the usual outdoor public ceremony, the pope will instead perform a private act of devotion to Our Lady to avoid the formation of a crowd and the risk of spreading the coronavirus.
The pope will ask the Virgin Mary in prayer “to protect the Romans, the city in which they live, and the sick who need Her maternal protection everywhere in the world,” the statement said.
The announcement came after the Italian government unveiled further COVID-19 restrictions entering into force on Dec. 6.
Last year, Pope Francis made a surprise visit to pray alone at the Immaculate Conception statue in the Piazza di Spagna at 7 a.m. on the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary after the traditional public gathering was canceled.

Yet the apostate pope is making public appearances in Cypress and bringing illegals back with him to Italy.
No fear of the scamdemic there; only in Catholic venues does Bergoglio clamp down.
Bergoglio is demon possessed and emboldened.
Now cancel Pope Francis.
Bergoglio is a minion of Satan and continues on his mission to destroy the church.
Cypress = Cyprus
Mary can’t hear any prayers. You pray to Jesus.
Like any Argentinian of Italian descent, Bergoglio has a serious hatred of Spain.
The Spanish were always big defenders of the Immaculate Conception and La Inmaculada is the patron saint of Spain.
This is a twofer for him —- contempt for Our Lady and an insult to Spain.
There’s always one nasty prot that had to jump on a story about Catholics.
Yes she can and does.
