Bishop Taylor issued letters in March 2020 canceling Masses and “non-essential gatherings, including confirmations. As well, he said that the sacrament of anointing of the sick, including for those ill with coronavirus, was to be withheld stating that it “would be problematic” as exposure to infected patients “would make you a danger to others.” The bishop recommended leading such patients in prayer for healing, while “maintaining a distance of at least 3 feet.”
Bishop Taylor has opposed withholding sacraments from those in public office who support abortion on demand, however. “Denying Communion to politicians who oppose us in matters of public policy on this or any other topic misses the mark, even in the preeminent matter of abortion,” he said in a homily marking the anniversary of the 1973 pro-abortion ruling Roe v. Wade in January this year.
So Bishop Taylor was willing to forbid the Sacraments of Confirmation and Extreme Unction to Catholics in a state of grace out of a so-called "health concern" during a so-called "health crisis"; yet he does not oppose the distribution of the sacrament of Holy Communion to pro-abort politicians who vote for the murder of innocent babies. Where's the health concern for those babies during a genocide of the unborn?

Smells of Commie PedoGheyFace, by the actions.
The Bishop could have "666" tattooed on the left forearm of those complying, for easy identification.
Criminal prisoners and war prisoners are REQUIRED to choose to take experimental drugs.
God is exposing the evil in the Church. Make no mistake.. these people are as bad or worse than Pelosi or McConnell..or any of them. They have led the people of God estray.
Mandatory taking of a non-FDA approved experimental injection. Let the class action lawsuits begin.
I don’t think they are in Red China, Francis’ favorite communist dictatorship.
They’re not even required to give permission to have vital organs removed, with no anethesia, while still alive.

There was a picture here yesterday of a church with roped off pews and signs dividing the vaccinated from the non-vaccinated. Told the wife, if that happens at our church, the money spigot gets turned off immediately.
You’re not required to attend that church...or tithe.
Great point!
If this were the Black Death, and 30% of the population were dropping dead, I might say, “God helps those who help themselves” so let’s supplement our prayers and let’s see what science can do for us in this time of crisis.
But COVID? It is not deadly enough for me to sacrifice all my faith and all my principles. I’ll die when God wants me to die. I’m not worried. I had COVID. My wife had COVID. We’re OK. I will not take a “mandatory” experimental drug, and any member of the clergy who expects me to is not looking out for my interests.
Jesus commanded the people.....oh, wait....
FEAR NOT????.....
Who cares. I am a free man and don’t even notice his attempt to shackle me. If anyone is stupid enough to comply with the Bishop the, the compliant deserve their shackles.
Bishops like this are going to make people take another look at independent Bible churches.
Chopping up unborn babies alive in the womb is merely a matter of “public policy” to the US Chamber of Communist Bishops.
I’ve got mixed feelings about this. Our church in Warren, Ohio has every other row of pews taped off and masks are required until seated.
On the other hand our church at our winter home in Zephyrhills, FL has 2 morning services. The early service required masks at all times. The regular Sunday service masks were optional. And shaking hands were allowed. In January we had four deaths in the congregation (mostly elderly). By mid February The pastor, the choir director and 26 members of the choir were down with COVID. The church was shuttered until the third week of March. My wife and I have not gotten the vaccinations and don’t plan to. I really felt that the Church was too lax on the regular services. I prayer that all recover and return to normal as much as possible.
Voluntary sharing of goods among people is not communism. The government stealing from some people to give a part of the swag to other people(redistribution) is.
