If you're Christian, are you going to church for Easter?

Us Jews will stay home for Passover (all the synagogues I know of have gone to totally virtual services anyway) but I've heard nothing from the Pope. It's inexcusable that he hasn't come out and urged Catholics to stay home and access virtual masses.

The Pope has told people to stay home. The bishops have told people to stay home. The Pope celebrated Palm Sunday mass to an empty cathedral and livestreamed it.

We are currently in FL. Our governor, Ron DeSantis, has made an exception for churches. Churches can hold services.

So you can thank FL for keeping us all unsafe. DeSantis must be looking for a cabinet seat in the future. He’s scum.

The denominational churches will follow their church leaders, who have ordered closure; they will not care that DeSantis stupidly said "its OK." For example, the Florida Roman Catholic bishops have ordered no in person gatherings, so Roman Catholic churches in Florida are closed.

Good for him. At least someone has an idea of what the First Amendment protects.

The Catholic Church closed all it’s churches and has forbidden any public masses. What more could they do?

Catholics aren't the only ones who celebrate Easter ...

For reasons beyond my understanding, the OP specifically called out the Pope. Incorrectly as it turned out.

The churches staying open are not Catholic, so why are you blaming the Pope?

You're just full of prejudice, aren't you, OP.

Don't worry. I'm sure at some point in your life Catholics will do something egregious and you'll have a field day!

Oh jeez. I'm not anti-Catholic.

It was a question borne from all the coverage of churches being open. You all are so defensive. I would be saying the same thing about mosques if a major Muslim holiday were coming up.

If you are so dim that you can't distinguish between Christians in general and Catholics in particular, you need some remedial instruction.

People are evil if they are going to church this year

The Pope has authority over a crapton of people. It's not unreasonable to expect him to provide instructions. Luckily he's been reasonable, but it was worth the ask.

Np. Nope, it wasn’t reasonable to call out Catholics when a simple google would have told you the Pope has closed down gatherings. And it wasn’t reasonable to single out Catholics.

OP was corrected in the second post of the thread. Why are you still typing?

Why did the pp post that op was “not unreasonable” after we’d been through it all, as you say?

Hey OP tell those Hasidic Jews to stay home during Passover and we will stay home this weekend
