Cardinal: Churches Should Remain Open ⛪🦠

Governments around the world have begun to restrict access to any place where people
gather in an effort to stop the spread of COVID-19, requiring the closure of any business not
providing an essential service. These services are the very basics of what’s needed to keep
society functioning, such as health care providers, first responders, grocers, agriculture workers, public utilities, and sanitation workers. Cardinal Raymond Burke wants to add priests and bishops to the list. In an open letter posted on his personal website, Burke responds to the crisis, discoursing briefly on the importance of avoiding the spread of coronavirus. "We turn to Christ to deliver us from pestilence and from all harm, and He never fails to respond with pure and selfless love. That is why it is essential for us, at all times and above all in times of crisis, to have access to our churches and chapels, to the Sacraments, and to public devotions and prayers."
