This is neither the dark ages nor a gulag church. We don’t cloistrate people against their will. We don’t force people to take unwilling vows of silence to shut them up if we dont like them. We especially don’t close down parishes with families in need of absolution and the most blessed sacrament because the pastor elects not to participate in a voluntary political petition. These are immortal souls starving for sacraments - not a civic matter.
Sorry for the double post. I don’t recall clicking twice.
