kakra68 May God be praised

If their faith was truly strong and unwavering, they could go without the mass. They can pray at home all by themselves. But since deep down they know it is all a complete and utter bullshit, they need to gather to support each other in the mass delusion, which is belief in a god

Why is this turned to be essential whilst other churchesʼ “biblical” communion services are banned? National Sunday laws impending...

A wacko March

Religion is a hell of a drug..

COMMUNAL WATER? For fucks sake.. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Religious people are the dumbest c**** in the world

all these miserable mfs in the comments throwing at shade at folks for praising the lord safely

.DioceseKCSJ take note!! At this point, I have no choice but to believe the bishop has some other motivation for not allowing this. This is the safest way to get people to Mass and to get them Communion for the first time in months.

Not keen on priests or the Catholic church period, but I feel for anyone who can't pray with their own brethren no matter what faith they follow.

Robes and mask really go surprisingly well together.

I’ve been going to church, shaking hands, living life, and no mask. In order to have antibodies/antigens we have to be around people’s &places. There will always be some kind of 🦠 virus so unless you forever wear a mask or social distance forever spare me you negative comments

Wow 😳 and this ?

China set to impose new Hong Kong security law, Trump warns of strong U.S. reactionChina is set to impose new national security legislation on Hong Kong after last year's pro-democracy unrest, a Chinese official said on Thursday, drawing a warning from President Donald Trump that the United States would react 'very strongly' against the attempt to gain more control over the former British colony.China's action could spark fresh protests in Hong Kong, which enjoys many freedoms not allowed on the mainland, after often violent demonstrations of 2019 plunged the city into its deepest turmoil since it returned to Beijing's rule in 1997. Great move ! 👏 Anti-fascist. The correct term is 'antifascist unrest'. Hong Kong is protesting against a collapse of democratic systems under the influence of the CCP. And do you think the CCP will stop at Hong Kong? Did Hitler stop at Austria?

Trump seizes a new cudgel to bash China: TaiwanAs Taiwan’s president was inaugurated for a second term this week, Trump administration officials had some choices to make: How do they congratulate her? Which U.S. official does what? Trump 2020 In before he calls her a nasty woman. “...there’s no discussion of supporting a Taiwanese bid for formal independence from Beijing.” This is INCORRECT. De jure independence would see Taiwan break from the Republic of China, not the authoritarian People’s Republic of China controlled by Beijing.

On China, voters trust Joe Biden more than Donald Trump accord to a Fox News pollThe survey found that Biden had a 6 point lead over the president on the issue of handling U.S.-China relations. ..adding '-ing' is not too much. GOP obsesses about China's issues. Dems about Russia. Both lack transparency and always have. Neither are our friend. Both we need to deal with and find ways to work with as they are as much world powers as the US. Yeah. Idiot voters. On IQ. The average is 97. So that leaves conservative voters talking to a brick wall.
