Lent in Vatican 2020, St. Peter's Square was empty for Easter mass, no Via Crucis, no Palm Sunday procession, no carrying of cross procession, etc.

separation of church & state but the state can cross to ensure safety & preservation of life is endangered & roque will close churches activities & services esp catholic church where roque doesnt belong on it.

Ff

Tuloy pa rin dapat ang religious activities pero streamed sa radyo, TV at online.

Oh no separation of church and state po. The church should not interfere with the states’s decision mas lalo na kung pinag uusapan ang safety ng kalahatan. If this bishop thinks the virus is not real, nako......

Safety and security first, before love and belongingness 🙄

Manila archdiocese to open churches on Holy Week; Palace warns vs defiance of COVID curbsMANILA — The Archdiocese of Manila on Tuesday said it would open its churches for worship at a limited capacity on Holy Week, a move that Malacañang said was against protocols to curb the surge of COVID-19 infections. Why? Cant people pray in the safety of their homes? Why not encourage them to stay indoors instead? Is it because there will be more money collected if churches stay open? Why not open a donation account instead that's accessible via pay apps? Tapos si Pabillo..banat ng banat sa Gobyerno dahil sa pagtaas ng covid Agree with Archdiocese. There should be services. Doors can open for fresh air ventilation.
