[QUOTE="DanielH, post: 1351193, member: 18034"] I went to church today worried that I would be turned away at the doors. I didn't register early enough online to get a spot on the list but I went anyway. I was allowed in but if there was another parish council member at the door I'm fairly certain I would not have been allowed in. The Church is strangling itself by complying with these orders (not even laws by the way). At my parish, the state only allows less than a quarter of the normal Sunday parishioners to attend, masks must be worn, and the icons are taped off (Lord have mercy). How do you spread the Gospel when you won't even share it with your flock? It would be better to go underground at this point. I understand the necessity to comply with laws that are not sinful, but I believe taping off icons and basically closing 75% of the church is horrible. Those icons aren't museum paintings. [/QUOTE]
