May everyone enjoy a safe and happy Easter while holed up in your ever claustrophobic house that you have started to hate with the fiery white hot passion of a thousand burning suns!
I hope any who may have attended and perhaps taken their children into church services today do not later find the virus spreading among them and infecting others.
REPORTED THIS MORNING Christians Celebrate a Solitary Easter April 12, 2020 at 8:19 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
“Pope Francis and Christians around the world marked a solitary Easter Sunday, forced to celebrate the most joyful day in the liturgical calendar amid the sorrowful reminders of the devastation wrought by the coronavirus pandemic,” the AP reports.
“Families who normally would attend morning Mass in their Easter best and later join friends for celebratory lunches hunkered down at home. Police checkpoints and closed churches around the globe forced the faithful to watch Easter services online or on TV.” ____________
REPORTED LAST NIGHT Court Allows Kansas to Restrict Easter Services April 11, 2020 at 11:24 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard
“The Kansas Supreme Court on Saturday struck down a Republican-led effort to allow the continuation of in-person church services across the state despite the governor’s ban on such gatherings to prevent the spread of coronavirus — what has been called the ‘War over Easter’ here — as the virus-related death toll continued to rise,” the Washington Post reports.
“Republican lawmakers on the state’s legislative council revoked Gov. Laura Kelly’s (D) order on Wednesday — effectively allowing churches to hold regular services on Easter — saying that the order infringed on religious liberty.
Kelly then took the matter to court, calling the Republican action ‘shockingly irresponsible.'”
Topeka Capital-Journal: “The unanimous decision means Kelly’s order limiting religious gatherings to no more than 10 individuals will be in effect for Easter Sunday services. The court didn’t consider whether Kelly’s order infringes on religious freedom.” ______________
I guess here is one way the question could be posed:
Does your freedom of religion give you the freedom to endanger others?
