A sobering discussion on a seemingly counterintuitive measure.

Taylor Marshall is the bomb. He has some very insightful videos.
 
I follow the Catholic Traveler on FB. Yes, no public Masses, but private Masses are being held. He just posted a video after having just attended Mass at Sy Peter’s
 
I wonder how the SSPX is responding to this in their Italian district. There doesn’t seem to be an English version on their site.
 
Welcome to the forum!

Well, I cant imagine anyone more stoked about suspended public Masses than the devil.
 
This is an interesting question. I’m debating going to mass. I notice that the group that seems to be most sensitive to the problem due to having relatives in China were significantly absent from mass last sunday (I’m in the US)…
 
There is an alternative that I have seen proposed that instead of no Masses there should be more Masses. If more Masses were celebrated fewer people could attend each and be more spread out in church.
 
Yup. I shut it off as soon as the Pope slapping, ‘novus ordo’ trashing, Vatican II spew started which wasn’t too far in. Not a true Catholic source of information.
 
You may not like it, yet there is little that you can say to dispute the validity of concerns being expressed. . . .

I would hope they are doing what I suspect every other TLM parish is doing; continuing with business as usual. As so many people have stated in so many different threads, the likely hood of touching anyone during communion at a Latin Mass is almost non existent. In 14 years of attending TLM, my mouth or tongue have been touched so few times, I could count on one hand.

Masses were cancelled and churches and schools were closed for 100 plus days during the Spanish flu in 1918-1919. It was these measures of eliminating public gatherings that made the difference in infection and death rates from community to community. There are actual studies done that prove this. Here’s one.

You have no authority to assert that as anything more than an slandering opinion.

And yet not as slanderous and unauthoritative as what those characters were speaking. . . .

If nothing else, Dr. Marshall holds respectable academic credentials and accomplishments. Yet he has less authority than you? . . .

Their ideology sounds like Scientology telling people not to listen to medical authorities because their faith in Scientology is all they need.

You said that you turned it off as soon as you heard something you didn’t like so…

Can you provide a summary of the video? I don’t like that another user noticed trashing of the Ordinary Form (which also sounds like something Satan would like)

Big problem: where will you get the priests? Around here there can be two or three parishes per priest.

Yes, but, those priests to which you refer exist. They could offer more Masses than now. Diocesan bishops can give permission for a priest to exceed the permitted number of Masses. I am sure there will be a Mass among the votive Masses called ‘Masses for Various Needs and Occasions’ that would be very appropriate for this time.
 
I think everyone is thinking about passing the virus from 1) Communion or 2) handshaking. I think there is more likelihood of sneezing, blowing one’s nose, and then running your hand down the entire length of the back of the bench in front of you as you get in and out of your spot.

Not that I’m missing Mass. I don’t have young children to take care of, I don’t have an elderly parent that needs me. That would weigh on my decisions. I am a soldier of Christ. I’m still in this.
