In a 5-4 ruling, Supreme Court sides with religious groups in a dispute over Covid-19 restrictions i

44. I agree with all of the above responses,

but I must say, I live in a rural area in central Pa. where the bishop has first of all, removed the mandate for going to Mass, made it not a sin to miss Mass. He then mandated that all of the hymnals be removed, all of the missalettes. No singing, no shaking of hands.
Our monsignor roped off pews to allow for social distancing, and masks are required.

I mean our diocese actually did its own restrictions which makes sense. I feel perfectly safe going to Mass under those conditions. If those restrictions had not been put in place I would not be attending Mass. Did I say I live in Trump country. It's awful but another reason I go to Mass is to look at Trumpers wearing masks who otherwise wouldn't. One or 2 pull them down over their noses but the vast majority toe the line.

Also, a big difference is that our infection rate is not as bad as most of the country, but it is increasing. Most local stores in my small town don't require masks so I knew it was coming.

Amy Coney Barrett is going to be our worst SC justice, a religious nut job.
