The executive order also limits attendance at indoor worship spaces to 10 people or fewer, limits outdoor services to 250 socially-distanced people wearing masks, forbids the passing of collection plates, and bans handshakes and physical contact between worshippers. 

In contrast to the 10-person limit for churches, establishments listed in the order that do not host religious services are permitted to operate at 50% capacity.

But it’s cool for a bartender to hand a drunk a beer.

Got it.

There is no science to such a ban.

It is like saying to restaurants - you can open for sit down services, but you can’t serve food, you might pass a virus between server and customer.

What bans have been made and enforced in mosques, or do “we” allow them to decide how much social distancing and masks are necessary?

The priest's who defy this obvious bigotry from these God-Less bureaucrats are the ones to support... They are the true believers we should look for in the Clergy....

The priests that can't sum up the courage - or creativity- to push back against the evil motivation behind this...well.... ACTIONS (or lack of) speak louder than words....

Any bishop, priest, or Mass celebrant that supports this, in that County or statewide or ANYWHERE, is contemptible. There is no valid Mass without consecration or previously consecrated hosts.

Fellow Christians and Catholics, our persecution has begun. Well actually it started long before in media and politics, but steamrolled with the virus scam.

I pray for a sign to Democrat voters, not only that they see the light but for selfish reasons, that the violence surely coming is prevented. CS Lewis said God’s intervention is when “the playright walks out on stage, you know the play is done.
Do we really want an end to our known universe when he steps in?” But please God, just a sign. Like Pelosi speaks and spiders and worms come out of her mouth.

Simple solution..... Church-goers can bring their own Eucharist and have the clergy bless it. The church-goer can then eat the Eucharist themselves. The clergy does not have to touch the Eucharist and Church-goers can participate in full church services.

The 1st Amendment, religious freedom, and the Constitution.

Don’t apply during Flu Season.

I’m Baptist and don’t agree with the Catholic view of the Eucharist. But....is there any doubt that Democrats are owned by those who hate God? Or, more specifically, the God of the Bible?

All of us need to fight back against this oppressive government!

“Simple solution..... Church-goers can bring their own Eucharist and have the clergy bless it.”

No. NO! For 2000 years Christians have been obeying the command of Jesus Christ: “Do this in remembrance of me”! And NO GOVERNMENT has the right to interfere!

I’m not Catholic. But I’m a Baptist who understand freedom of religion, and that my freedom depends on others having freedom too!

Has ANYONE died ANYWHERE from catching a virus while taking communion? And has ANYONE been forced against their will to go to church and take communion? I don’t think so!

The party that enjoys the deaths of a million babies a year wants to stamp out any opposition by banning a practice that hasn’t killed ANYONE.

How about we have the Gov rewrite and approve all religious materials as well? Bible/ Torah/ Koran/ etc.

‘cuz Corona?

OR.. the GOV can just go back to following the Constitution and STAY out of “approving” religious ceremonies?

Unconstitutional, illegal and the board should be tarred and feathered out of office.

If they want to recommend the Eucharist not be given that’s fine. If a church decides not to do it, that’s fine.

Ordering the church how to practice their faith is not. Our rights do not cease to exist because of the flu.

This is a corrupt and tyrannical government and must be overthrown.

There are scoff-laws here and everywhere, but the mosque (and Hindu temple) attendees around here are distancing and wearing masks - or say the are.
