and restaurants, but similar guidance on reopening churches, synagogues and mosques was put on hold.
"The coronavirus is just as contagious in a restaurant opened prematurely as in a house of worship," said Maureen O'Leary, advocacy associate for Interfaith Alliance, a group that advocates for the separation of church and state."The White House’s move to delay CDC recommendations for reopening houses of worship is a shocking display of partisanship over public safety."
The Justice Department sided with a Virginia church this month in its challenge to a state shutdown order limiting the size of religious gatherings. Federal authorities filed notice of their support for the Lighthouse Fellowship Church in the resort town of Chincoteague Island after the pastor was cited last month by local police for hosting a service attended by 16 people – six more than allowed for such in-person gatherings amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Since when do you consider churches essential.
Like Christ said; give to Cesar what is Cesar’s and to God, what is God’s. In other words, keep religion and government apart. If those churches want to open, they should bear responsibility for lawsuits stemming from their negligence if any member contracts or dies from Covid-19
He only want the mean Christians votes, if you think he cares about religion or God you are so wrong!
Only for votes and rich friends with collection plates.
Essential place he never goes to. Hypocrite.
Evangelicals should remember that this SALESMAN is the same man that characterized women as pigs, and that he can do WHATEVER to women because he’s famous.
Any church or ecclesial community shortsighted enough to hold services during this pandemic should not be attended. I think of Noah’s ark, while the rain lasted just 40 days and 40 nights, Noah stayed in the arc for a year until the waters subsided.
'Not so essential that I would actually go to one. I mean they do whatever they do there on Sunday mornings. You know, during golf hours. But they vote for me, so they're essential.'
If they're so essential, how often does he attend services?
How would you ever know? You’ve never been to church!!!
Who would be better in bed: trump or McConnell (guesses only, those with actual knowledge are disqualified)
Mr. Hydroxychloroquine trying to sell church like he sold Trump Steaks.
Next it’ll be brothels
Lunatic
They might be essential but not a necessity in the face of COVID-19. In a church, the virus can spread like wildfire. Everybody knows how humid church becomes even with air conditioners.
Stay Trendy.. Stay Updated 🌹
God is everywhere, we are the church. what’s essential about opening a Petri dish?
These MSM Hacks are worse than tabloid. How disgraceful how stupid they are supposedly calling themselves journalists! Ha
The question is, once open, will he ACTUALLY go? 👀 HeNeedsJesus

That is one of the stupidest things I have ever heard.
US coronavirus cases reach 1.6 million Latest updates | cases per million population👇 coronavirus COVID19
I consider your removal essential orange worm.
Many persons do not take any guidance from politicians in regards to their faith. In particular the present administration.
Why you and your family never go to church plus didn’t you day you were better than Jesus!!!
He's so desperate, he'll say anything to get votes. He could care less about churches and other places of worship.
Is that it? A non religious man trying to dress himself up as Mr Religion in a cynical ploy for the religious vote.
Kind of weird for the devil incarnate to consider the church essential. Is he even allowed to step inside one, without burning?
Not that Trump cares for knowledge, but the US as founded on the notion of separating church and state. So, well, it is not essential. At all. In fact, as the crafters would remind him, not so much. The ignorance is a badge of honour.
Honestly let them. Let the stupid do what they want to do and let’s see what happens. Make sure you get DNR signed orders on all of them as well.
Just like gym people can workout outside of it and people also can be faithful outside of churches
Fake Christian ... lol
Here’s what’s essential: Getting rid of Trump and his cult in Nov
Matthew 6:5-6 5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door.
President fake news is all news that doesn’t glorify him
He needs they’re votes, but they’ll be dead from Covid before then.
Trump's such a man of God and regular church attendee.
This is way better than saying youaintblack
Trump never went in a church before the election. Just another con.
He’ll be back on one of his essential golf courses in no time.
I get the culture, community and the routine. But any real person of faith knows the building is the least important part. Not surprised he doesn't understand that.
Wonder if we'll see him regularly attending mass/services now.
Of course he does....because he is so devout. Right.
I've never been inside one but I consider them essential. :-)
