Government Tells Faithful When They Are Allowed to Visit a Church and When Not

All over Italy, police stop and fine Catholics on their way to church.

Therefore, the Italian Bishops asked the Interior Ministry, LaNuovaBq.it (March 28),

• Are the faithful allowed to visit churches for private prayer?
• May assistants participate at Easter rites to guarantee a minimum of dignity?
• Why are civil marriages allowed but not church marriages?

The two-pages-answer states that the churches are not closed but visiting them must coincide with “situations of necessity.” Thus, a church cannot be visited unless it is on the way to work or to buying cigarettes etc.

Easter liturgies can take place but only the necessary celebrants and acolytes may assist.

Church marriages are not forbidden but participation is limited to the celebrant, the spouses, and the witnesses.

Are the police hanging around outside the mosque fining Muslims? Or just looking the other way as usual? ;-) Selective enforcement... every time.

They dare not go near Jewish conventicles.

We'll see. If they don't it's for a sound reason. Religiously-based voting blocs are dangerous to offend. Catholics should learn from this and behave accordingly.

As you know, False Francis and these, his antiChrist false bishops, have opposed the teachings of our Lord Jesus many times. Such as lying to the faithful, that Muhammad's gang, who deny that our Savior Jesus was …More

Almighty God bless us faithful, in The Truth, Jesus. Amen.

The bishops are sending a message: The Catholic Church is merely a human institution – one that shuts its doors long before beauticians and abortion mills.

The Church we see is in Rome is not the Catholic Church but a counterfeit church. Where is the Catholic Church though? "Even if Catholics faithful to Tradition are reduced to a handful, they are the ones who are the true Church of Jesus Christ." - St. Athanasius

@mattsixteen24 I appreciate that quote very much, by faithful St. Athanasius. The evidence is very strong that we are experiencing the tremendous falling away from the Church, as St. Paul wrote would occur.
