Louisiana pastor cited for defying coronavirus order hosts hundreds on Palm Sunday

Spell told CNN that on Palm Sunday, he hosted 1,220 churchgoers, including some who drove more than 100 miles to attend services.

"He has done that since day one," Corcoran said during a phone interview."At the most, he had 500. Between the two." Blackwell asked Spell why, if the pastor is pro-life, he would"put people in jeopardy of getting a virus that has no treatment, no cure, often has no symptoms and has killed more than 8,500 people" in the United States in five weeks?

Edwards said at a news conference Monday that while there is still a high number of coronavirus cases in Louisiana,"we are hopeful that we are seeing the beginning of the flattening of the curve." The governor noted that the stay-at-home order is an effective mitigation tactic. There have been 14,687 cases of the coronavirus reported in Louisiana, with at least 512 deaths.

Put the Bible thumping bastard in jail.

These “government can’t tell me what to do” people can assemble. I don’t care. BUT... when they need a hospital or the help of county or state support... no. You don’t get any of that. You gotta tough it out at home.

Throw his ass in jail and anyone else that steps foot in the building when there is a group

He needs to be roomies with Roger Stone.

Christianity? The Pope and pedophiles your religion employees is an attack on humanity.

He endangered the lives of many communities that are being responsible and restricting their movement. Close him down

God can’t fix stupid, but Covid-19 can. Permanently

Lock him up! Lock him up!!

It's between him and Jehovah. Sit back and watch.

They will all end up in caskets

God is good 🙏🏽 if you want to infringe on my rights, is it cool if we shut down the media? Or is that different? 🤣

these articles are an attack on christianity..there are citizens all over defying orders for tons of different agendas, quit cherry picking white Christians

If your pastor wants you in a building rather than a safe place, his concern is for his ego, not for you or your loved ones. His god is not your God, who has surrounded you with beautiful sanctuaries where he or she will always hear your praise. Churches PalmSunday Easter

Lock him up

Selfish Bastard.

Idiots

Burn him with fire 🔥

Boy the churches and non-profits are really trying to get a piece of that $2trillion purse

It’s guys like this that make one want to (temporarily) root for team COVID.....

Good. Cull the gullible herd.

Weird that a group of people that believe “God” is always with them also believe that its necessary for them to go to a church in order for him (God) to hear them......
