Texas church that rushed to reopen cancels masses after priest dies and others contract coronavirus
Link to tweet
Holy Ghost Catholic Church in Houston reopened its doors on May 2, as the Lone Star State began loosening its stay-at-home orders.
But on May 14, the parish canceled all services after Father Donnell Kirchner died. Five members of the congregation tested positive for COVID-19, church officials said Monday.

Here's hoping other churches take note - but fat chance of that.

(31,261 posts)"cure" people from getting covid19. He is dead and hundreds of people that he touched during his faith-healing farce are out of their freaking minds with fear.
In my city, there are tone-deaf signs that started to pop up once SARS-COV-2 started marching all over the country, "Faith over Fear", in this case, that is the worst possible phrase they can come up with, maybe it should be "Prudence over Fear". Faith won't be what saves them if covid19 pays them a tough visit.

And btw, this is by far not the only church to
have this problem.
Many religious people in this country are truly
cray cray!

Approval of my own ticket to heaven is going to involve some close examination of my scars.
Maybe by licking.

Clearly, low turn out Mass with all of their social distancing and mitigation efforts did not work.
My Church is setting up a way to deliver communion to homes. I get that it has been too long and that it is needed. They need to pray for a better answer. Love your neighbor and Jesus would not spread disease.
