A reader writes this afternoon:
***
Governor McMaster yesterday authorized churches to hold services outside or indoors with proper social distancing on Easter Sunday and publicly acknowledged that he had no authority to ban religious worship.
The Diocese of Charleston has been on sacramental lockdown for quite some time and Catholics who are creative have had to find alternative venues.
So far, there has been no change in that policy or even acknowledgement of Governor McMaster’s new directive by Bishop Guglielmone.
These facts are accurate and up-to-date at the timing of this message.
UPDATE:
S.C. Governor Henry McMaster says freedom to worship is an absolute right
Diocese of Charleston Bishop Robert Guglielmone keeps sacraments on lockdown through Easter
South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster on Monday authorized churches to hold services outside or indoors with proper social distancing on Easter Sunday and publicly acknowledged that he had no authority to ban religious worship.
“I can’t speak for other governors, but this governor is not going to intrude on the First Amendment,” Governor McMaster said. “That is an absolute right.”
The Diocese of Charleston has been on sacramental lockdown for quite some time and Catholics who are creative have had to find alternative venues.
There has been no change in that policy or acknowledgement of Governor McMaster’s new directive by Bishop Guglielmone. Neither the bishop nor the diocese responded by a request for comment by close of business Tuesday.
These facts are accurate and up-to-date at the timing of this message at the close of business Tue., April 7, 2020.
Ironic, that the false ecumenical (VII) Church is using its perceived authority to *stop* the Mass and Sacraments from intrusions by secular authorities who wish to *open them up*.
Evidence – the most clear evidence there is – that this is a false a Church, this thing that evolved out of Vatican II and all its odious subsequent Constitutions that purport to deliver a new, improved better way undreamed of by Christ Him self. Its Mass is the clown mass – juggling clowns and partially clad performers. It has literally turned its back on God in every Mass and it has now literally separated the Faithful from God with the full force of its titular authority – against secular leaders and healthy officials who insist it is safe and permissible.
Throw the Vatican II Council and all its subsequent Constitutions in the trash. Garbage, they are. Remain faithful to everything else that came before it. This was a disastrous spiritual catastrophe. It stands exposed. It’s judgement begins. We see what they are now.
The ongoing collapse will only intensify, now. They are the Church of Abrahamic Religions, now.
