COVID-19 AND ITS SPREAD AT PEACEFUL PROTESTS IN SAVANNAH AND ELSEWHERE

No doubt that many in these huge crowds in Savannah were carriers of COVID-19. The sky is falling hysteria would tell us that all those people should shelter in place for 10 days and churches should close their doors. I wonder how many with COVID-19 were at Mass this past weekend? Should we just forbid righteous protests and religious services and public gatherings until a vaccine is developed?

I saw in photos many Catholic priests, deacons and laity in this Sunday afternoon peaceful protest in Savannah, many who were at our Cathedral’s diaconate ordination with the Archbishop Of Atlanta as celebrant on Saturday morning:

And I saw you standing unmasked in the cathedral chapel before the ordination in the midst of a horde of similarly unmasked deacons and priests. And I have a photo of it to boot.

Are you, then, going to shelter in place and close the doors of your church, hmmm...?

No.but I heard some have, but I don’t think the Archbishop of Atlanta or our admin. Have or will.

Coronavirus only spreads at conservative rallies. It says so in America's Paper of Record

Thanks very much, above anonymous, for that link to the Babylon Bee (Christian humor/satire) site.

I enjoyed reading how Nike has released a commemorative shoe to honor looters. Also, there was an interesting article about Episcopalians being very confused by the strange book Trump bought to church.

I am watching with interest to see how the virus plays out amongst all the masses gathering to "protest". Most do not know what they "protest" except a guy died in a SOP chokehold for police with uncooperative detainees, and it immediately labeled racist.

I also await all these "protestor's" outrage over abortion, all the elderly shut away in horrific "nursing homes" to die alone and unloved and unvisited, all the folk on their own streets practicing drug and alcohol fueled brutality on own family members, all the folk in own communities and churches having trouble meeting basic medical needs, paying bills, keeping utilities going, and uneducated and/or unemployed.

This is nothing but shallow virtue signalling soon forgotten until the next media inspired frenzy to fill empty and uncaring lives...these same "protestors" would generally step right over you were you to collapse on the sidewalk.

It is pathetic and a sham.

They can do that, but we can’t do this:

From St. Amand Ordo, n. 6 (Duchesne, “Christian Worship”, 474). The pontiff, the clergy, and the people assembled in the appointed church, where the clergy vested and the office was begun. The poor people of the hospital went first with a painted wooden cross; the seven stationary crosses, with three candles each and a retinue, followed, and then the bishops, priests, and subdeacons; finally came the pope surrounded by his deacons, with two crosses borne before him and the schola cantorum or choir following behind him. As the procession moved along to the stational church where Mass was to be offered the Kyrie Eleison and the litanies were sung, from which the procession itself was often called litania.
