Childish? For Francis, Opposing Church Closure Is “Adolescent” Behaviour

During a June 20 audience for bishops, politicians, and health care workers from Northern Italy, Francis claimed that during the coronavirus circus the priests’ “pastoral zeal and creative solicitude” helped the people to continue on the path of faith and not to be alone.

In reality, Francis told the bishops to close down the parishes and to go into hiding.

Now, Francis brushed off opposing such orders as “adolescent expressions” against State measures. This is dishonest, because the closures were decided by him, not by the State which is bound by the Lateran Treaty not to interfere into Church matters.

For Francis, those priests who left their priestly activity and – allegedly – went shopping for parishioners were “a sign of God's comforting presence.”

“They were fathers, not teenagers,” Francis turned the truth upside down.

Leila Marie Lawler got this from a priest friend:
"Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell."
Just kidding. Ha, ha.
Here's our talking point for priests, bishops, and women religious:
"We stand together against COVID-19 and racism."More

All this from a man that places beach balls on alters, thinks clown" masses" are pastoral and never passes up a carnival or circus.

@Eva sad, isn't it? Right before everything got shut down in Ohio, the Sunday before I went to confession and mass. Everything was related to Covid. And I made a very sincere confession and for penance I was told indifferently to pray for those with Covid.

While that is something good to do, it seemed to be disproportionate or unrelated to my confession. I was irked. And the homily was about Covid. And people started to become suspicious of each other.

And now our church has blocked off pews, no holy water, no wine, but lots of masks, terrible music and fealty to a virus that has a 99 percent survival rate and a neo Marxist movement around the world that uses race as its weapon.

Bishops have scandalized many Catholics with their cowardice and political correctness.
