cool, that's good to hear, that attendance in person is up. it certainly isn't everywhere.
yes I know exactly what you are talking about. we used to call it 'Mass for shut-ins' and it was either on a CC TV from the chapels of Catholic hospitals or broadcast TV from large cathedrals in big cities. however there is a significant difference …

yes I know exactly what you are talking about. we used to call it 'Mass for shut-ins' and it was either on a CC TV from the chapels of Catholic hospitals or broadcast TV from large cathedrals in big cities. however there is a significant difference between those traditional 'remote' venues for Mass and the online streaming of Mass, live from specific churches/parishes, to their specific congregation. the advent of this stemmed specifically from the endorsement of the leadership, the idea that 'the faithful' should be AFRAID to attend Mass. the 'watchers' are not ill themselves but allowing fear to keep them from congregating. seems sort of anathema to the Christian religion, does it not? I also heard that during the convid, Catholic priests REFUSED to perform the Last Rights on those seriously ill in the hospital! out of fear for THEMSELVES! this is NOT the Catholic church that I was brought up in.
